Milwaukee
Antetokounmpo
Bledsoe
Middleton
Lopez
Connaughton
Hill
S Brown
Ilyasova
Mirotic
Boston
Irving
Horford
J Brown
Baynes
Tatum
Hayward
Morris
Rozier
Theis
These are the guys that have been playing. If Kyrie can cancel out Giannis then I just don't see how the Bucks win the series with Boston's depth. Giannis is going to have to significantly out play Kyrie and I just don't see it happening.

Drew Bledsoe is shaking in his boots.
Good assessment:

The practice season is over, the tuneup round is complete.
There are no excuses now. This team was built to win series like this one and I believe they can do it. Time to step up and show if they are men or mice.
They are battle tested, they’ve won series, experienced game 7’s. Their best player is already an NBA champion. They know how to win a series like this which is something Milwaukee can’t quite say yet.
Steal one of these first two games and the Celtics have a great chance to close it out in 6

Last game Irving and Horford were horrible, and we won because of Morris, Rozier, Hayward (maybe a shout out to Brown and Tatum).
And I was like man lots of people going to hate this.
And here's the shout out to people saying Rozier was horrible because he was picked on in the matchup against LeBron last year.
He's not great but he's an above average defender at the PG spot.
That said Bucks are going to ISO Irving and Rozier on Giannas if they care, they might not. Greek Freak is young enough that he can power and jump through anyone unlike LeBron who was def head hunting players that were smaller AND weaker than him last year to make up for his older age (he switched off Smart or anyone close to his strength level consistently)

I was actually serious. Terry has Bledsoe's number. I think he will own him, again..

Oh sorry, I didn't take it that way. But I was mainly jumping off the defensive rating stat article that you commented on too

I'd like a miracle pistons win but I don't think it will happen. Any extra time off is a good thing for us.
But I think we will get bucks 4-2 .

I hope we smack them in the face game1 - win big.
game2 - win a close one
game3/game4 - close home wins
Sweep #2 baby, calling it.

Still early in the game, but the bucks are beatable. They are not some great team. They can be beaten.

Only 60 win team, near the top of every ranking in both offense and defensive efficiency, best point differential in the NBA by 2.5 points over the 2nd ranked team. Around 50 double digit wins.
But sure, the Bucks aren't a great team.
