The Wet Blanket will be Scott Foster and Tony Brothers tomorrow in BK.

Probably the two worst officiating duos in today's NBA lol.

When the Cs have been up 2-0 they've won 40 of 41 playoff series or 97.6%.

Meanwhile, Cs are the current Vegas favorite to come out of the East.

All we did was take a 2 game lead that gives us a 90% chance to take the series. The Nets have nothing more than the legacy of their 2 stars that's making people nervous, not what or how they are currently playing.

Sure anything could happen, but our odd of winning the series is 1/10 less than the chances the sun will rise tomorrow. We're in good shape.
I was curious about this and the number appears to be 93% of teams that win the first two games win the series.  Honestly, that's even higher than I thought.

I totally forgot that the Bucks did it twice last season.  After losing their first two games they....

beat the Nets 4-3 in the Eastern Conf. Semis   
then
beat the Suns 4-2 in the Finals.

It can be done, but I don't think we will see it this series against the Nets.  Go Cs!

I mean, much of that was injuries, though. Bucks probably aren't world champs if they don't get lucky with the injuries in those series.

Not just those series but the league as a whole had a lot of injured stars in last year's playoffs.
