Having been conditioned all season to expect disappointment and frustration, my mindset entering this series is the expectation that the C's will lose in 5 or 6. If the regular season portends the story of the 2018-19 Celtics, they will not get past the Bucks.
Of course, my hope is that what we saw was some sort of oddly orchestrated preparation scheme that will reveal itself as the competition gets tougher. Maybe we were witnessing Wax-on/ Wax-off when it seemed that we were watching a team that just couldn't find itself.
