Nah, we're over .500 and you'll have to play on the road, the things BOS can't really overcome this season.


No it's the playoffs so it's totally different now. The hoop is now 11 ft and FT line 16 ft away. Game is completely different

how different tho
What should we bring, tennis rackets, horses or swords?

your guess is good as mine. We haven't won a playoff series in 20 years so it's new for everyone.

Honestly? those guys who say POs is a different animal and everything that happened up to now doesn't matter?
I hope that's us next year. We did well to get the top seed and (probably) the MVP and go full throttle all year. But with those monkeys off our back we should now become the Rockets. Do nothing for the first half of the season, just experiment with rotations and cheap FAs. Sit people, invent injuries, never practice between games. Around the All Star break start practicing slowly, grab a decent seed by April, peak in May-June.

Yup. These two will make sure the team does not lose this series. Will it be a sweep? That would be amazing. I think winning in 5 is probable. I could see Hayward having one huge night. Same with Kyrie.

We are gonna win the first two games, lose game 3, then we’ll see what this team is really made of. I expect bucks in 6 since I think Boston will steal a 2nd game when we’re up 3-1.

Having a chance to close out at home in G5 and failing would probably be the most nerve wracking scenario for me.

Bucks were 33-8 at home (2 loses at end of season without Giannis, 2 loses mid-season without him), no way are we losing home games unless we shoot ridiculously bad.

I didnt say i -think- it will happen. Actually if we're up 3-1 then I think the superior team will have been firmly established and G5 would be a rout.

I’m not saying you did, I’m saying in my opinion we’re not losing at home to Boston. I could very well be wrong

Winning the first 2 at home then going 1-1 in Boston would be very 2018'19 Milwauke Buck-like.

Something that's mildly interesting to me is that I've seen Celtics fans here and there say that they think the Bucks will win, but I have yet to encounter a Bucks fan who thinks the Celtics will win.

A simplified take but I just can't see a team lead by Kyrie Irving beating a team lead by Giannis in a 7 game series. That would go against everything the basketball Gods stand for.

Bucks in 5. One game they will shoot lights out and we shoot 25% from 3.

Rest bucks win, they can't handle Giannis unleashed, no minutes restriction. Supporting cast will play their game like they have all season.
