Surely the bucks can’t win 3 of the 4 games in Boston….right…..right?? This series has had it all, one of the best in recent memory. Nobody has a clue what to expect game to game

That's the line I would set personally.
It’s 4.5. Lower than I would have thought. They must be thinking some chance Middleton is back. Last update I saw it looked pretty unlikely though.

Bud better switch up the rotations in Game 7 and stop playing Hill.
If they trot out the exact same rotations and George Hill subs in the first quarter. I'm calling right there that Celtics will win the game.

Agreed. Hill has proof of Bud doing something. I’m convinced.

You can make a case that the 3 best teams in the league are in the East. And as someone who has seen the east get roasted for years about non competitive teams, it really is a wonderful thing to see. Golden State and Phoenix certainly have a case too though.

Value on Bucks.

Sure they can. This series has been about both teams bringing out the best in each other. I think Milwaukee wins this game on the back of an all time great performance by Giannis.

at this point sure toss carter out there for a few minutes and see if theres magic but lets say that fails..... well actually choosing to play carter and benching hill and then losing because carter sucks.... well THAT is what gets coaches fired
where we effed up is trading donte for ibaka. my god that deal looks bad now
As a Celtics fan I don't want to give Bucks coaches advice but why not play Pat C 36 or 37 minutes if you have no confidence in other players? He has played well.
i dont think pats ever played that many minutes in his career ever. not even close. he wouldnt be up for it
Thanks.... That explains it.

4.5 is too high. I bet that comes down when most of the money comes in on Milwaukee. I will gladly take that 4.5 though.

Very possible. Given randomness of 3 ball, tough to predict any single game scenario.

Even if Middleton and R Williams played I still think this series would be a tight one.

Given more to do with Bucks experience/professionalism advantage than a big talent edge, I think Bucks would have won a 7 game series 7 out 10 times if both teams were 100% healthy for entire series.
After a playoff series and hypothetical rematch after a few weeks, I would pick Bucks to win a 7 game series 60 out of 100 time on neutral court. Outside of some sloppy passing in one game, Bucks have done a better job of not beating themselves but Celtics may be finally learning to shoot themselves in the foot less.
Missed shots will happen but I'm talking about consistently running back on D and avoiding really low percentage passes and other mental mistakes.

Honestly not trolling seriously curious he’s been downright horrific and killing you guys on both ends. Javon was quietly playing great too.
Coach is a moron. No other explanation.

Re: Eastern Conference | Round 2 | (2) Boston Celtics VS. (3) Milwaukee Bucks (TIED 3-3)
So basically the idiots running this league want the Bucks or the Celtics to play 12 games in 24 days, we're not even halfway in that stretch and both teams look exhausted already because both teams play 6-7 guys and hang their hats on physical defense.
And you fellas were making fun of the Bucks for not playing the starters in the last game of the season. "We're not a track team, we don't run away from anybody". Well, if you make it to the ECF don't let me hear you complaining about the schedule. You take your day off when you can, because if you expect the NBA to give you one good luck with that.

They had like 9 days off from game 2 to game 3 lol
Bucks tricked me into being a diehard in 2001, LeBron is the 2nd best player ever, and pizza is awesome.

Pretty good series, Tatum closes the game before Bucks comeback again.
Monster game by Giannis, the 7º will be cream, maybe with Middelton?

Thought the game today was pretty well officiated. Hope the refs don’t attempt to steal an epic game 7 from us.
