Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series.

[lulumiya]

This is one of the most amazing series now. I must admit that I was expecting to see Bucks beating Celtics in the sixth game but it didn't happen. Celtics showed an extraordinarily good performance which helped them stay in this fight for one more game. This must have increased the expectations from them too in the seventh game I mean. But we will see how much they will be eager in that one. I still think Bucks will eliminate them.

I think we will see Celtics winning in this round they have showed too many times in this round between them and the Bucks that they are much better then them. If Tatum and the defence play again like last match Boston will go into next round for sure

What do you mean Celtics showed too many times in this round? If that's the thing here then the series won't go into a 3-3.

Both of these teams played well and I'm sure you as a sports tipster for a long should understand that it's hard to predict who will win. The only basis for most bettors is betting on their own preferences maybe as a fan or being one-sided or popularity-based.

I'm an NBA enthusiast for over 2 decades now but can't give my wild prediction regarding this match. That's how tough to predict their series.

I agree with Harizen, if there's is anything about this series, it simply that it's unpredictable, both teams have shown that they're capable of winning on the road, and it's been one team being brilliant for one game the mext almost completely takes over the next, I'd say there is too much work load on Jrue Holiday and Giannis because those two have been the main source of all Bucks offense, it probably would have of great advantage for Bucks if there was Kris Middleton to count on too.

For Bucks to win game 7, I think they'd really need to make sure that the Celtics are getting easy and almost effortless 3s, Bucks have been doing a great job defending the paint but they need to close out on the number of 3s conceded because  that have been the reason they at least two games in this series.

They cannot rely on Giannis and Holiday only, they have a lots of players who can score and defend at the same time. Brook Lopez, for instance, is a good offensive player as well, Bucks could go big and dominate the paint, that's what they should do because the Celtics will just have to rely on their outside shooting, so if Celtics are not shooting well, Bucks will benefit from it.

Congrats to the Celtics for moving to the East Finals. I got what I wanted but I have to give huge respect for Giannis in this series. Marcus Smart really gave him a hard time in this game so credit goes to him too. I just wished Celtics didn't get complacent even if they were already leading by 20 points with five minutes remaining. There were too many three-point shots.

[DukeNickle]

Celtics - Bucks might be even the most enjoyable series now in this round. Celtics made it to the seventh game against their tough opponent. The sixth game was just insane which is a fact that I must admit. We watched a lovely rivalry between Tatum and Giannis too. Tatum was really incredible about his three pointers which was a big help for getting the win. He scored 7 three pointers and got 46 points in total. Giannis' amazing effort by 44 points and 20 rebounds was still not enough for winning.

It's because there is no other player in the Bucks team to score and help Giannis so he is very tired and no gas late in the 4th quarter when they have a good rally and cut the lead to 4 points.

But I do agree that this series is very entertaining because of the swings in momentum in the game. One thing though is now the Celtics is favored to win the decider game 7.

I think we will see Celtics winning in this round they have showed too many times in this round between them and the Bucks that they are much better then them. If Tatum and the defence play again like last match Boston will go into next round for sure

Celtics really made it to next round tonight. They opened a big gap with Bucks before the beginning of the last quarter already. And in the last quarter, Celtics put on a greater show too. They were just unstoppable and Bucks were already out of the game hopelessly. Congratulations to Celtics for reaching the conference finals. I think that they are going to be the favourite against Heat too.

Boston Celtics now finally end the series. I don't know what happened to Milwaukee Bucks.

Still, this series is hard to predict at the start as both teams are doing well. The Celtics will now face the Miami Heat at the Eastern Conference Finals.

Salute to Giannis. He did his best. Milwaukee Bucks will come strong next season.

Celtics starting players show an impressive shooting accuracy and all of them is contributing in all aspects of the game. Even Jayson Tatum is not scoring the majority of there points since his team mates can do the rest unlike Bucks which Giannis and Holiday making points contribution. Giannis has 20 rebound which is x2 of Brook Lopez rebound. Giannis is carrying too much burden on this game that's why Celtics use it against Bucks to finally take down this one man team that focus to Giannis. Celtics has a lot of versatile player and this game was Celtics lucky match because they stop Giannis while the rest of the team has a good FG.

Grant Williams becomes the star of the night. He is red-hot at the 3-point area. The same goes with Payton Pritchard which I pointed out before way back the Celtics vs Nets that he's one of the keys to why Boston Celtics are on-fire that series.

These 2 Celtics players are not consistent but if they were able to activate their best, they are big contributors to the Celtics without putting too much effort into their key scorers Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

If these 2 will be consistent in their upcoming series against the Miami Heat, expect that the Celtics might get their revenge on their bitter loss last 2020 Eastern Conference Finals where the Heat won 4-2.

That's true, a lot of surprises on this conference and seriously I'm shock not to see Bucks in the Finals since they are the defending champion but still they did a great job and Giannis really deserve a great recognition. Miami vs Celtics on the other hand I think, Miami has the advantage here because they played well as a team plus they have the good rest going into the finals, this can be a big challenge for Celtics to beat Miami.

We don't really expect some role players to become consistent especially when there is 2 superstars in a team. Brown and Tatum should always be the most consistent all the time, while these other two should be consistent with their role not only with the scoring coz that is what their function to a team.

4 for games for the Celtics and they'll finally reach the Finals. What a run for them beating top caliber teams including the defending champs. Way to go!

If Bucks have their 2nd scorer Middleton, I would be happy to believe that they are really a good team than the Bucks. Now, they will be tested because they are going to face the Miami Heat who have a complete and healthy roster.

I hope Kyle is going to play in the series, as per report, he is unlikely to play in game 1.

There are no excuses, same with Bucks last season, they only won because Nets missed Kyrie Irving due to injury, now they don't have Middleton ,they already feel how is it without a player that they can also rely on as a secondary scorer. Celtics worked hard to earn success, and now they are back in the ECF after many seasons, let's see if they'll go to the Finals.

That's the biggest lacking to them and the absence of Middleton gives them huge problem. Also we see how the Celtics perform well and we can see them as perfect balance team. Tatum improves so well plus they have solid defender so I guess their opponent will get a problem on next series.

[LogitechMouse]

The whole series is very entertaining .

Many expected that the Bucks will win already because they stole Game 5 on the road and Game 6 will be held on their homecourt so there's a bit of an advantage there but the Celtics proved them wrong and won the next 2 games to win the series. My prediction is correct as well and the total games they will be playing which is 7 (just happy).

Since this series is over already, the OP will make another thread regarding the Heat-Celtics match-up and lock this thread . Congratulations to the Celtics as well.

It wasn't felt during the first round as Bucks have dominated the Chicago Bulls. However, things were different during the Semi Finals because Bucks are struggling to win although they were able to make it a 7 games series, and in the last game, Celtics just showed that they can dominate the defending champ if they will not make a lot of mistakes, especially turnovers.

Giannis has always been doing his best in all his games, but i guess today's season is not really for his team. Bucks wilted and made bad moves, and end up defeated by the Celtics. I guess many have expected that Bucks will win this game, and that Celtics are the heavy underdog. But oh, it turned out that the prophecy of Celtics' coach made into reality, and that they end up the game sweeter than in their previous games.

We could go for some other discussion about that because I still believe that the Bucks can definitely defeat the Nets even if Kyrie have played that time. But anyway, I got your point because in reality we haven't saw these teams playing each other with the same intensity and both healthy.

We still ought to give the Boston Celtics some credits for taking down heavy teams in the league, they surely adjusted well.

Bucks were able to give a good fight on the Celtics despite missing Middleton, so even if they lose, it's not really that bad because they tried their best to be in the conference finals.  Giannis is the best player of the Bucks, but no enough support from his teammates, against the Celtics team where everyone makes a great contribution.

Yeah Middleton would have definitely changed the series.  Too much on giannis to lift the heavy bag by himself.  Jrue is good, real good but not enough to spell giannis on a down game or 2.  Boston surprised me and taytum is top 10 in the league, possibly top 5 right now.  Dude is unbelievable.
