NBA flubbed on this one.

Yea, kinda weird cause it's Wednesday and the game was supposedly gonna be Sunday more than likely, right? So about 4 days before the game we got no date.

If the Celtics win the series, I may get banned for the amount of bumps of dismissive posts I’m gunna do on the GB.

Nah. Don't take my shine...

Anyhow, regarding the series, if the refs don't **** it up for us and we lose I'm completely fine with it. By the refs messing it up i mean if it's one sided. Tbh, it wouldn't shock me at all if we lost and as I wrote 3-4 times I do understand that the Bucks are the favorites.

1. GA elbows Drummond in the chest to the point he stops playing defense and bends over, spins and finishes with a layup. (reggie miller. "did you see him move drummond out of the way so easily?" In awe voice)
2. Drummond posts up GA on the other end, does a legal move drop step to his left, GA flys up in the air like he weights 100lbs and Drummond is superman, literally flying away like superman on drummonds hip, offensive foul on Drummond.
3. GA drives to the rim and uses his off left arm to shove the defenders arms out of the way, then goes up for a layup. the defender has his hands straight up, but they are touching because GA just pushed them away. 2 shot foul.
4. Jackson/Drummond run a legal pick and roll against GA, Drummond called for offensive foul. Something like his 5th foul in the 3rd (or was it 4th).

This was just the 3-4 mins i paid attention to the last game that was on. Bucks were winning anyways but it was like 34 to 8 free throws at that point and the Bucks just took the lead with that series.

All of Realgm not bucks fans, no matter what the fan base is "what in the world is going on".

Bucks fans. "nothing to see here, the NBA would never give small market bucks advantage".

We have to overcome that. GA is lebron on steroids with the officials at this time.

That's one of the main reason I don't understand the narrative that Giannis is super skilled, never have and I wont until he starts shooting the ball, he averaged .280 from the 3 in the Pistons series. He's a brute who bullies people to the basket, not too great running the PnR, his post ups are mostly shoving people under the basket and the amount of travels and offensive fouls he gets away with while getting what around 10 Fts a game in the regular season is baffling to me. It's nearly impossible to guard him mostly cause he initiates all the contact and you aren't allowed to stand your ground by the refs, that's what happened last season against us and that's probably what's gonna happen this series. Giannis is a legit freak and one of a kind athlete, his determination is crazy, but saying that he's super skilled on offense is laughable, he can't stop on a dime, he can't shoot 3s off the dribble, etc.. It's actually impressive he's averaging 30 without a real jumper.

He's a superstar. The stuff he can do at his age and size? Stupid good. The body control when not walking and Euro stepping for layups is a sight to see.

The NBA has made him a MEGASTAR because every contact he creates is 2 FT for him, when he posts up and travels 90% of the time, it's not called. Pretty much making it unfair. At least with Lebron, if he was physical and shoved you off with his off arm, you could be physical back. Just didn't matter.

I mean, G Hayward uses his strength the same way and ALWAYS gets called for the offensive foul. You know why? Because it's an offensive foul.

Well this is exactly what I said he's a freak of nature and once in a lifetime athlete, but his skills are layups and dunks. He can't shoot at all, which as I wrote makes it impressive for him to average 30...

It really is off. And this Series (Celtics-Bucks) was solved last Sunday.
We already know who's playing.

[FlatearthZorro]

All this talk has me kinda obsessed with the series and I've posted A LOT... Wish it'd start, already, but happy guys are getting the rest.

Skip likes us.

So does Cowherd. He lays the praise on Kyrie pretty heavy too.

There is media on our side, so saying we are full on underdogs isn't 100% true at times anymore lol.

Funny thing is I remember last year in the ECFs Cowherd trashing Boston and saying how Lebron would always win the series. Most of us hated it though but deep down we knew (or I did anyway) that Lebron was always going to find a way to be in the finals.

He's saying exactly what I wrote. DET is prolly the worst playoff team in the past 7-8 years. Without Blake they are a 28-30 win team, and they wouldn't have any shot at all at beating the Pacers. Pacers are too well coached, tough on D, and just play better together overall oh and I think Pacers beat DET towards the end of the season with both teams battling for playoff seeding.

GAME 1 IS SUNDAY AFTERNOON

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

1 PM, Sunday. Of course, it's my girl's nephew's birthday. He's turning 11. We are going to a trampoline park. **** me.

On the bright side, at least I get to watch Avengers on Saturday.

But still....****.

Watch it from your phone if you can.

Damn, beat me to it

[jcappy]

So on Sunday, finally the varsity games. Whoever emerges from the East, will have gone through two tough series, and will have doubly proven their worth . Both round 2 series should be real thrillers and go at least 6 games. All these games will be to watch, rather than to monitor. Bring them on.

[JJHondo17]

Money!!!!!!!! Sunday @ 1:00!! Get your popcorn ready!

[Afam]

Game 1 is on Sunday at 1pm.

[La Flame]

They're finally starting to show some love for the euro fans with these schedules
