I wish cats would make these polls end around game 1 so people cant change their mind late in the series. Celtics in 5!

 

[Collateral]

Both of these teams play really big


Lopez
Portis
Giannis
Stephenson
Holiday


Horford
Willliams
Tatum
Brown
Smart



might come down to Boards and transition buckets

Stephenson?

Stephenson?

Matthews. I don’t know why I had Stephenson on my mind

 

[FAH1223]

wait, what happened to him?

wait, what happened to him?

Apparently he tweaked his hamstring towards the end of G4

No Middleton makes it tough for the Bucks unless we see Portland Series Jrue, Boston in 6.

My prediction as well, you can pencil in Giannis for 30 and 12 already but no Middleton, and this Boston defense is tough, they’re gonna wall up and crowd Giannis as best they can and idk if Milwaukee can get those easy looks from 3 against Boston like they did against the Bulls.

Exactly. IMO, if Giannis is able to pull off beating this Celtics team would be a huge boost for his legacy.

if the Boston defense can lock up KD and kyrie idk what makes yall think they can't do the same to jrue. giannis big and strong so of course he should still get his numbers but they will depend too much on the likes of Grayson Allen and Bobby Portis imo.

Whoever wins this series (assuming its 6 or 7 games) is going to be at a severe disadvantage vs miami (asuuming embeed does not play. Miami should sweep) because they will have a week off

They used physicality on KD to bother him. Jrue is stronger than him I think. Plus I'm not sure the Celtics will be able to be as physical consistently once Giannis returns the favor on the other end.
