Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series.

[Coin_trader]

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.

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.

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.

I think Bucks got this since they able to get 1 game on Celtics home court with Marcus smart in the roster of Boston so what’s more when Bucks already got some advantage with the absence of MS and Home Court. Giannis is got the inner beast within him. This is my mistake when I bet to Boston on Game 1. I didn’t anticipate that Giannis and the gang use there sizes to there advantage to get the rebounds most of the time.

The Celtics v Bucks series is continuing quite interestingly now. I just loved the way Celtics performed in the second game. They defended Bucks incredibly good that Bucks couldn't even score 90 points. Celtics literally smashed them by a very solid performance. And now the score of the series is 1-1. This must be a proof that Celtics won't be giving up on this series easily. But they are going to have much more difficult matches two times in a row. Bucks wouldn't lose to them in their games home easily. I will be favouring Bucks to win these games.

Yup, the pressure is now on the Milwaukee Bucks side to win two successive games so that they can return the favor of being defeated last time in this series. Giannis needs to step up more if he can because Holiday especially Portis cannot make any good momentum as Celtics played a nice defense.

Marcus Smart will probably return on Game 3, seems that his injury is not that serious.

I don't doubt the capabilities of the Bucks especially Giannis on the court who always puts his best to try and carry the team to win every game but I won't deny that I'm not that sure that they still got this series even if they have the size advantage for the most opposite roster. Boston Celtics didn't failed to improve against heavy teams in the league. Might be best to watch the Game 3 first as the Bucks still got some chance to bounce back.

When a team was able to even the series, it's hard to speculate what will happen next or to determine who has the advantage.

We have to wait on Game 3 as the previous games are more in the testing phase for both teams. Bucks now saw how Celtics play while on the other hand, Celtics also did the same. They now see their respective capability that's why next game, there will surely be an adjustment.

What are those adjustments? We will only see in the actual game.

Bucks vs Celtics current series odds.

Bucks 2.15
Celtics 1.74

Though Bucks steal one game at home, Celtics are still the favorite to win the series, are they overrated, or they are just the better team than the Bucks?

What do you think about that line for the Bucks? is it an opportunity?

If the stats are accurate, then I would not hesitate betting on the Bucks in game 3.

[ralle14]

If the stats are accurate, then I would not hesitate betting on the Bucks in game 3.

I agree the Bucks are still scary and already did enough damage on Boston so they could definitely close this series within 6 games if they can hold their ground at home.

After they got crushed in game 2 they'll surely take back the lead again and their odds are definitely good enough to take @1.66 for the moneyline and -2.5 for the spread.

I like your prediction, yes, a 4-2 score is possible if Bucks will win the next 2 games. They are good at home, so they'll certainly fight for their home court to ensure a win. Bookies does not see that, they are still underestimating the Bucks making them underdog in the series.

Bucks still the underdog even at their own home court? Anyhow maybe it's because of the absence of Khris Middleton and the Boston Celtics winning huge in game 2.

But we can't discount that Giannis is a monster when it comes to playoff games. So I would say this could be a perfect opportunity with that kind of huge odds as underdog in the next game.

I will follow the trend as well, Buck are good in making an adjustment and game 3 is probably the game that they have a big chance of winning than in game 4. They would not anymore stick with the old strategy since they lose, so adjustment will be made that will surprise the visiting team.

Go BUCKS!

For sure punters knows that but they still believed that the Celtics will win game 3 despite the fact that it will be a road game for them.

But I like the spread -2.5, I might take this one as Giannis will probably have a monster game in front of home crowd.

Good if that's what some people think so we will have balance bets on both sides. If game 3 is going to be a close game, then it will favor the Celtics because they have the spread, but in the last 2 games, the respective teams have won via domination, so it's just a matter of adjustment, that team that will make the right adjustment will win, and probably will cover the spread as well.

[inthelongrun]

I voted for Boston. I noticed that I just made the poll at a tie.

Now that it is confirmed that Khris Middleton is out in games 3 and 4, it will be very difficult for Giannis and his team to beat the Celtics even in Milwaukee. There is a big difference between Boston Celtics and that Chicago Bulls team. Boston can defend well and Marcus Smart might return in game 3. Giannis teammates better show their a-games offensively and defensively or they will lose these 2 homecourt games.

I guess that's accurate though and those numbers really made sense. That's most probably how you base a team performance when the series becomes intense. Though it was not stated on the post what are their specific percentage in game's 3 and 4 when the series is tied 1-1.
But base on the first 2 games, either team are capable of winning regardless if it's at home or road. However, I would always believe of the home court advantage, because fans could boosts the player's morale.

Yes, that's right, home court is a big factor for the success of the team unless a team is trash.
Bucks is not a trash, they steal one game on the road, so they should do better at their home court, and I also believe that they'll be able to cover the spread.

Oh they missed Smart last game but they still won the game. I know that this is Giannis house, but maybe the Celtics will give back the favor and still the game 3.

Although the statistics for Bucks winning after 2 games in a series is astonishing. But this time it is without Middleton, their second best scorer. So I'm still on the Celtics bandwagon in this series.

[Davidvictorson]

Oh they missed Smart last game but they still won the game. I know that this is Giannis house, but maybe the Celtics will give back the favor and still the game 3.

I think that if Celtics must win then they should dominate  from behind the arc. In a playoff series, one of the hardest things to do is excel in a category for multiple games. There’s no way they can match that same output they did in game 2. Celtics are doing well without Smart. Especially on offense. Passing and ball movement way better. Smart has always been a bench player

I'm expecting that as well, Bucks need to win game 3 so they can secure the lead in the series. They cannot be complacent that they stole one game on the road, if they'll win game 3 and game 4, they only need 1 win to win the series, and they can do it at their home if they lose in the next game on the road. We are just making our prediction now, but let's see how the game would bring us, it should be a fun game and I'm hoping a close game.

That's always their play if Bucks will choose to clogged the paint, they are a good 3 point shooting team, so they'll dominate.

Bucks will make an adjustment as in the 1st half, Giannis was not effective, so expect a new strategy for the Bucks.
