I got Celtics in 7.

I do think HCA will be massive in this series. Also I'm expecting Middleton will be out at least the first 2-3 games which plays to the C's advantage a bit since he's Ray Allen or HOF-level against us lol

BOS in 6

No Middleton = no chance at victory for Milwaukee.

I'm going to wait until we get more information on Middleton before I make a prediction.  If it looks like Middleton isn't going to play, then I think Boston will win a close hard fought series in 7 games.  If Middleton goes (or maybe only misses a game or 2), then I think the Bucks win a close hard fought series in 6.

Celtics in 7. It'll be a series where each team will defend their respective home-courts. There will finally be a blowout game in this series. By who, who knows  :-\

C's in 7.  C's hold serve on home court for the series.  This will be their hardest series to get to the conference finals. 

Keys to the series:
- Can the roadblock defense they used in the playoffs previously against Giannis still work this time around?
- Will Timelord be fully healthy and back in synch with the team unlike his play against the Nets?
- How much scoring can Brook Lopez provide?  he was a handful for the C's when he played against them with the Bucks
- When does Middleton return?
- Will Derrick White ever hit an outside shot?  if he could hit at just a respectable rate, that would be a big help for the C's on offense.

No Middleton it's Boston in 6. Without out it us in 5.

We just shut down 2 generational talents for a series. That didn't happen because the Nets are bad, it happened because Boston is well coached and has a good deal of talent.

It's funny seeing Bucks fans talk like they're not worried about HCA and losing the first 2 games. They really believe the statistical anomaly they had last year is just the norm.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Watching White shoot jumpers is like watching Nik Claxton shoot free throws.

he's at the point that Smart was at when other teams would just leave him open and dare him to shoot 3's. 

I'm past the point of hoping for him to turn it around this postseason -- this year, he is what he is.  Next year though, he'd better be a lot more accurate, same for Nesmith, or I'd be looking to move him for someone who can handle the ball, play some D and actually hit shots.  He's not a stiff but he can't be someone that other teams can use his man to double Tatum and Brown.

The kink in the Celtics armor. If he has to see extended minutes, that's exactly what well coached teams will do. They will double team the Jays and leave White open. Nash isn't an tactical guy like Milwaukee's coach, Spoelstra, and Kerr. The Celtics will see this in the next round.
