Re: First Look Celtics Vs Bucks Round 2

Good thread about a great matchup. In the category of strictly IMO, I think Robert Williams will be important in this playoff round. He could play a step off Giannis to prevent the drive and still get up on his shot. He wouldn't have to score much to be a net positive. I don't think Brad will play him until it's almost too late because he's played so little that he's still raw, but Williams has a talent the Celtics sorely need. He is a rim protector. Hawk.

Hope we get Smart back at some point, as his toughness will be needed. But, the Celtics are a much better team than they were for most of the regular season.

Other than Giannis - I dont see a greatly favorable matchup for the Bucks.

Kyrie is much better than Bledsoe
Jaylen Brown is much better than Sterling Brown
Playoff Tatum is just as good as Middleton
Giannis is unstoppable, he will get his - but ok.
Horford is as good or better than Lopez.

Celtics Bench with Morris / Hayward / Rozier / Baynes and Semi better than Bucks Bench.

Celtics in 6.

Bold prediction for sure!!

I hope you are correct.

I actually feel Milwaukee is the better team, BUT they have little playoff experience and I hope that swings things our way over the series.

But I'll take a win in 6 games for sure!!

I agree with mrkleen in the Celtics taking this series in 6 games.

As great as the Bucks have been, they lack experience and the Celtics play at their best during the playoffs.

The Celtics were able to make Giannis life miserable and still defend the perimeter.

Very impressive.

My prediction...The Celtics will not get swept.

As long as Al Horford is able to play with great intensity, Boston should win this series. He really had a tremendous game today.
