Bucks probably take this one but I hope by the end of the game C's are still close.

I'd like to be really excited -- but I still can't stand that the Lakers pick up 2 top-5 guys and are poised to win again.  How many teams in this league have never been to the finals and the Lakers just bide their time, make draft picks (sometimes their picks refused to workout elsewhere...), open up salary, and wait till megastars sign with them or twist their owners arm to trade them there.  Can't complain nearly as much as a Celtics fan, but LAL leaps over dozens of teams who struggle year after year -- and they are now suddenly in the driver's seat again.  I had hoped that somehow 2020-21 was going to pass without LA winning banner 17, but they are rested and ready to win.   

C's are a year or 2-3 (if all goes well) away, and their potential superstars will need to grow into that status -- not arrive ready-made.  I'll watch and enjoy the C's, but ultimately I am expecting a very disappointing end to the season (assuming the virus doesn't enter the bubble).

If we can get to the finals, we match up well vs. the Lakers, so keep the faith!

Because LeBron knows this is his best chance to win hence he's urging the NBA to continue the season. Next year they still have a good shot when they retain LeBron/Davis. It's like the NBA wants the Lakers to win- after all, they still want to do it for Kobe if we recall.

The Celtics...they'll be facing challenges because the East is going to be good again. Bucks are gonna be the team to beat, Raptors still pretty decent, Brooklyn is going to be dangerously good when they get KD35/Irving back and the other middle of the tier packs. Hopefully, we'll a championship before the guys in purple/yellow does.

Undermanned Bucks against healthy Celtics- I think the C's should take this one but we will see.

I'm hype for the first Celtics weekend in MONTHS! I'm hoping we can scoop two W's but I would be happy with taking one this weekend.

Me too. At least we're not Pelicans fans. Would be killing me to see our #1 pick (not to mention the most heralded prospect since LeBron) not play full games

I find it funny that the PA guy says "your Milwaukee Bucks" as if there are still fans there.
