Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series.

[Beparanf]

I think even without Middleton, I'd rather take the Bucks than the Celtics.

Fact of the matter is Giannis is simply way too good of a player, and the whole team is constructed in a way that is sensible enough for the absence of one 2nd option to not hurt as much as people think it does.

Definitely taking the Bucks for this, for the price it's a bargain.

I took an outside bookie bet, they gave me +1.5 for my Bucks in the series with +100 money, I took it right away although I still have a bet on my bookie because I think that's an opportunity. Game will start soon, I'm excited to see the game, hopefully Bucks will draw a great game plan to beat the Celtics in game 1.

The first quarter is already started and both teams have a close match. Bucks easily recover on a 5 points deficit and get the lead by having a 3pts advantage on the end of first quarter. Giannis already have 5reb/4assist/6pts on this first quarter. I believe Bucks can this if they continue on this pace especially Giannis. This is what needed performance by him to stop the rampaging Boston Celtics. GL bettors!

I'm happy with the result and happy with the handicap I got in the series. LOL..

Bucks showed their dominance, especially Giannis. Celtics has no other strategy but to shoot outside because they cannot drive inside. if they will not make the right adjustment in game 2, sorry for them, I smell a sweep here.

It's normal to think that the Bucks can sweep Celtics because they were unstoppable in game 1.
They surprised the world, Bucks were the underdog and yet they are the one who limited the Celtics in that game.

The result of game 1 where the Celtics swept the Nets was the reason why they are overvalued, now we see their real capacity.
Is it a bad match up?

Prior to game 1, everyone is thinking that the Celtics offense would give the Bucks a problem because they are a high volume 3 point shooting team. Game 1 happened and bucks proved us wrong, however, it's only game 1 and the series is far from over.

Let's say Bucks would win game 2, that doesn't mean that Celtics has no chance to win on the road as well.

Let's not overreact, this is a good match up for sure.

Are we going to see a 2-0 score in the series tomorrow?

Please react guys if you think Celtics has a chance to even the series, and how do you think they'll do it.
They have the same spread in game 1, IMO, still favorite and if they win I think they'll cover, but can they win? that's the question now.

Who knows, if Celtics will not be able to make a good respond in game 2, then we will see the same result which is the Bucks dominating the Celtics.

Celtics fan would not believe they'll be down 2-0, so they'll likely put a bet on the Celts to win.
I hope Celts will be able to match the physicality of the Bucks, they need to destroy the bigs inside by having great looks on the outside.

Maybe, there's a high chance that the Milwaukee Bucks will dominate them in the 2nd game if the Boston Celtics will still do what they did last time. But we know there will be some adjustment and so does the Bucks too, let's see if the Celtics can withstand the intensity that the defending champion can bring even if there's no Middleton with them.

I myself fall for the Celtics hype, Lol, but yeah Boston is still the favorite, but with the way Giannis handle all the defender, it will be a very difficult series now for the Celtics. And I think the goal of the Bucks is to steal at least one game at the at the TD Garden. They just didn't steal one game but completely destroyed the Celtics. So most probably we might see 2-0 tonight.

But they have a big lead against the Bucks now. Although Giannis is finding a way in the 3rd quarter, he was visibly frustrated in the first two quarters because of the superb defense the Celtics is now putting on him.

I doubt that we will see 2-0 tonight, most likely 1-1, but as you have said, they steal one game and be back at Fiserv. So it's time for the Celtics to bounce back at game 3 in the road.

The series is now officially 1-1.. Game 3 is going to be at the Bucks home court, so it's a good advantage for them. Let's see if they can handle the Celtics at their home court, I'm sure they can because they beat the Celtics in game 1, however, it's just a matter on how the Bucks will make the right adjustment after losing game 2.

This is a long series, I hope so, and if that would happen, every game is a chess match as the losing team will certainly make an adjustment. Celtics has responded already with the right adjustment, now let's see how the Bucks would adjust in game 3. Are they still going to implement playing their bigs, or will try to match the small ball of the Celtics?

I agree, this might be a long series because they are both competitive and now the series is tied. But even if the Celtics have won the 2nd game, they should still improve and not be complacent because the Bucks can always answer them especially now that they have lost. I'm thinking that they should try to avoid doing small balls because that's the forte of Celtics.

You're right, it was the game ended in the favor of the Boston Celtics. I also thought I'll see a 2-0 tonight but Jaylen Brown took flight and made 30 points while complimenting Tatum's 29 points, got to hand that also for Al Horford for grabbing 11 rebounds for the team. They dominated the Bucks and closed the game with 23 points lead. Now I wonder what would be the Bucks respond next game.

[judas]

Honestly, I was expecting to see another Bucks victory in the second game of the series too. The Celtics victory was a surprise to me truthfully. But now Bucks are going to have two home games in a row. I don't think that Bucks would lose any of them in front of their fans. And they would get ahead 3-1 in the series. And I think that Bucks could win the series like 4-2 at the end. Bucks are normally a quite dominant team against Celtics already.

I wouldn't say that they are quite dominant, we have to factor in that there is no Middleton that could give them a lot of points and defense too.

Boston is still intact without Marcus Smart, so they are now the one who are going to adjust because of the hostile environment for the next 2 games. And then Giannis is always assertive, so far the series proved that no one from the Celtics can guard him. Still unpredictable series, it will be based on momentum.

Who would have honestly thought that the Celtics will dump them with over 20 points, right? Including me, I also expected that the Bucks got this game just like what they've showed on Game 1 even if they are undermanned and they still dominate the Celtics that time. But when the 2nd game began, they showed improvement on how to counter the offensive techniques of the Bucks as well as Giannis that's why they managed to defeat them.

The result was actually quite unexpected because Boston was aggressive in the first games. It will surely be hard for them to handle the upcoming games but I admire Giannis' determination. Bucks seems ready for the next homecourt games and I guess they're ready to dominate the next games.

Boston came in very aggressive and then improved their shooting that's why they were able to get a good lead. And Giannis has a slow start and although he try to rally his team early in the 3rd and I thought that they could at least cut the lead to like 14 which they did and entering the 4th they could still make a run to make the score close, the Celtics shut them down again in the last quarter. Nevertheless, I think they will be the favorite now in the next two games because of homecourt advantage.

So it's good that the Boston Celtics was able to bounce back to tie the series now. But as you have said, they will have to get back the home court advantage by winning at Fiserv which is not an easy thing to do with Giannis playing very high basketball at Fiserv. It will take a lot from Boston to shoot good and Jayson Tatum to have a series like he did against the Nets. Let's see how will they fair on the road or how the others will have to step up just like they did in game 2.

Bucks has to win both games, because if not, the advantage will be shifted to the Celtics if this series goes to game 7. Celtics did the right thing in game 2, but I think that is not enough to beat the Bucks especially if the Bucks will play a tight defense.

Not sure if Smart will be back in game 3, but they need someone like hime who play good hussle.
