ESPN analysts' tally for the series winner: Celtics 14, Bucks 6.
Considering that a lot of the analysts said Celts in 7, Bucks probably would have been the pick if Middleton were healthy.

Would've been nice if they all or 90% of them picked Bucks. Would've driven the C's further with the disrespect lol

Ime Udoka will look to be the 7th coach to win his first 5 NBA playoff games.

4 of the previous 6 went on to win the title that year.

Stating the obvious, but if the C's can shoot well on the open looks and 3s, they can still win this series. They shot very poorly today which is a big reason they lost.

But everyone was aware of it. MIL's defense is designed to force you to chuck up 3s and they are willing to give up the open looks on the jumpers/3s, just so long as other teams don't get easy points in the paint (that's where Giannis/Lopez/Portis linger). Same happened today but just too many bricks

I’m really excited to see our adjustments for the next game. I absolutely hate long periods off between games, and I feel like it does our stars no good (particularly Tatum, throws his rhythm).

This is still our series to lose. Pressure is on Ime and the guys to adjust.

Just remember, we blew Milwaukee out in game 1 of the 2019 series.

It's just so dumb! Why is the NBA so intent on throwing off the rhythm of the playoffs?

Idk. Apparently their arena is already booked for some event on Friday so I guess they can't do Thursday-Friday either due to prepping and such. Still annoying.

I mean Miami-Philadelphia series legit has games every other day from Game 1 to 7. No big breaks

Bucks already did their job. They stole one on the road. C’s need to adjust because the Bucks executed their gameplan well.

So what? The adjustment is to shoot better from 3.
