The Bucks beat us easily during regular season.
With a heavy heart;  Bucks in 7

Yeah that one-point win with Kyrie missing at the buzzer is the definition of an easy win. Just clobbered us that one.

And beating up on us without Horford, Baynes, and Morris playing sure gives us great clarity on this playoff matchup.

Of course, let’s conveniently leave out us taking their 0.

Let’s also not forget that (1) both Hayward and Baynes were out that game with Milwaukee fully healthy, and (2) the NBA ruled that three fouls on the Celtics were not called on the final play, which should’ve put either Kyrie or Morris at the line to win the game.

Yeah, that’s really beating us easy during the season.

Not sure if it's been mentioned earlier, but Malcolm Brogdon is out for the first 2 games of this series at least.

Celtics better take advantage of that and take the first two games at least.

Man Bucks fans are a confident bunch aren't they? lol listening to the locked on podcast with the Bucks guy and he doesn't see anyway the C's can force the Bucks to adjust lol it's giving me vibes from the Philly series last year. This is going to be a dang good series but you would think the Bucks have already been to the Finals from what I'm hearing lol

They like to gloat after adding Lopez and Mirotic. They forget that the Celtics have Irving and Hayward this time around.

yeah , listening to the talking heads ,  there is no use even playing the series .

I guess they think the Celtics should just congratulate the Bucks and go. home for the summer.  SMH  :P

regular season celtics, sure. But the celtics now seem to be a different team. Team is clicking at the right time and celtics seem to match up pretty well.

While the bucks might have the best player on the floor, I feel that the celtics have much more depth. Kyrie/Brown/Hayward/Tatum/Horford are all clicking on top cylinders right now.

both of the Eastern conference series should be entertaining and close IMO

I predict during this series that there will be at least 19 sabotage media pieces related to whether Kyrie is happy in Boston or not.

It's about matchups now and I think we match up well with the Bucks. We'll get a lot of open midrange shots from their drop coverage of the pick and roll and we have the players to take advantage. Defensively we can throw a few bodies at Antetokounmpo, he'll get his points but if we can restrict everyone else we'll be in with a good chance. They talk about how they've got better from last year by adding more shooters, well we're adding 2 All Stars to our team too.

Zach Lowe wrote a great in depth analysis of the series, and while takes Bucks in 7, feels Celts could win in 6 or 7.

This series is going to drive a lot of guys on this board nuts. The Celtics are going to take a *ton* of three point shots, and we’re going to see a lot of Kyrie and Horford running high pick and roll.

Cs, who can win this series and always play to the level of their competition (for good or bad), are being seriously undervalued and disrespected by the bookmakers/ betting public.

Bucks are  -300 and the Cs are +250.

Cs are a very good value bet here.

If we were betting TPs, a 100TP wager would yield 250 TPs!!

Wow, game 1 is finally almost here.

It feels like the Celts haven't played in months.

I'd like to think and hope that everyone is past that now.

That was a tiresome regular season narrative.

This is the playoffs. Either win or go home.
