C's VS Bucks in 1st rd, who wins ?(as currently.construed)

[rondohondo]

I don't see how c's would slow down Gianni's, He has too much length for Jae and Jaylen. Horford and Monroe pretty much cancel each other out. Middleton will be coming back soon and has a good size edge on AB.


This is the current matchup in the standings.

Even though we are #3 in standings, I think that is misleading....

Horford will destroy Monroe.

I hate a Bucks matchup for us. They are long and athletic, which we struggle with. I think we ultimately beat them in 6 or so, but it'd be a rough series.

[celtics2030]

I think Bucks can be a problem for every single team in the East

but unexperienced and maybe trouble when they are down like 10 points

plus Jason Kidd isnt quite the best coach yet

[mr. dee]

Bucks doesn't have much floor spacing. Brad will figure them out better than the Hawks who had multiple threats beyond the arc.

[tazzmaniac]

I thought Middleton was supposed to be out for the season but apparently he may be back after the all-star break.  That would make them much tougher to beat.

The Bucks would be a nightmare matchup for us.

Tough match up but I'd pick the Celtics in 6!

[Bobshot]

Noel would fit nicely defending against the Bucks.

The Bucks are the one team I think neither Cleveland, Toronto, or Boston want to face in the first round. If they had Middleton instead of Snell in the starting 2 spot, they'd be right there with the class of the east. They'd be even scarier if they had a good coach instead of Kidd. While Kidd hasn't been bad, he's still not playing the team to its fullest potential, namely with Jabari Parker. Now I know Jabari's been an MIP candidate this year, but after watching a recent video by BBallbreakdown, I realize he's still being held back by Kidd. Watch it here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I5eqcbDwow).

Imagine if they were coached by the likes of Brad Stevens, the coach who turned Evan Turner from failed lottery pick to $70 million man. I was high on them last year and turned out to be dead wrong but this season they're looking like the team I thought they were going to be. Once Middleton comes back, they'll be super dangerous.

We are better than anyone in the East except Toronto or Cleveland.

Bucks have some talented size and length, including guards. Certainly not the best matchup for the C's.

Cs and I'm not really worried.  Toronto will probably murder us in the 2nd round though

I agree Toronto probably beats us in round 2, but I dont expect them to murder us. I see that series going a minimum of 6 games assuming both teams top 7 or so guys are healthy.
