Celtics clinch playoff berth!

[PhoSita]

I'm more surprised about Milwaukee, had a promising season last year, added Monroe and fell off a click.

They were bad last year after moving Knight (they couldn't afford to lose his shooting / individual scoring), and they never really replaced the skillsets they lost when they let Dudley and Pachulia go.


The Bucks have too much talent to be as bad as they were this year, but their guys just don't fit together right now.  Plus their bench is awful apart from Bayless and Henson.

I'm not that surprised the Bucks fell back out of the playoff race this year.  Their two best players should be college juniors right now.

I think Milwaukee management would be insane to panic and trade either Giannis or Jabari.  Yes, they kind of play the same position.  And, no, neither can hit the broad side of a barn from outside sixteen feet.  Still, there's too much talent there to give up on, and the two of them actually seem to be developing a rhythm together.  That could be a special duo down the road.

Stay the course, Bucks.
