Time for predictions.

gyso...poll please

Bob,

I made this into a poll per dboss' request.  I hope you don't mind.

I didn't allow for vote canceling but I came across an interesting option:

I included this option (notice my avatar shows up below the poll), but if it bothers anyone, I can remove it.

Celtics in 6, we lose one home game and one away game.

Celtics in 7.

My doubts about Jaylen and Jason and their intestinal fortitude have lessened after the Nets series.

Against my better judgment I'm taking the Celtics in 5. I was actually thinking sweep!

The reasons: our top rated defense, home court advantage and no Middleton to bail them out.

Hi,
My heart says 6, my brain says 7. I voted with my heart.

AK

Celtics in six.

Celts in 6.

Boston in 5.

Celtics in 7.

Middleton being out knocks the Bucks back, but Giannis will be one of the dominant players in the series, as usual. Celtics have no easy answer to defend him.

The Bucks can slow Tatum by defending him with Giannis. Giannis is more physical, Tatum has the quicker first step, so that will be a good matchup. Middleton being out will help Brown and Smart when the C’s have the ball, and Portis will have to scramble to keep up with either one, when forced to cover them. If Allen continues the hot shooting, Smart might be needed to rotate off Holiday and help there.

If there was a ‘pick ‘em’ choice, I would go that way. This should be a good series with more close games on the way.

First two games at home should help give the Celtics the edge.
