Cautiously optimistic for my Celtics. Going to need a big series from Horford defensively.

This will be an entertaining series. Without Middleton I give a slight edge to Boston.

Celtics in 6

Celtics in 6., I’d take the Bucks if they had Middleton

No Middleton and the Celtic take this

I say my Celtics we take this in 7. I predict it goes a full 7 with us winning it in 7 (4-3)

C's in 5 without Middleton.

I got the Bucks in 7 in this series. If Middleton was healthy for the entire series, I would have picked Bucks in 6. I'm not convinced that Middleton isn't going to play in the series. When he first got hurt, the prognosis was 1-2 weeks, but the Bucks believe he'll be out longer and the plan was to re evaluate him in two weeks. The injury occurred on April 20th, so May 4th is two weeks from the injury. That's the day after Game 2. Game 5 in the series will be played on May 11th, exactly 3 weeks since the injury occurred, with Games 6 and 7 potentially being played on the 13th and 15th respectively. I would not be surprised if by Game 6 or 7 Middleton was ready to return.

Even if he doesn't return, I still think the Bucks win the series. As good as the Celtics defense is, I don't think they are going to shut down Giannis at all. The Bucks are not the Nets. Milwaukee is long, they play defense, and they actually have the best player in the NBA. The Nets were honestly a bad team. Kevin Durant is a legend and one of the best players today and Kyrie Irving is an excellent talent, but Brooklyn had a lot of problems as a team and would have lost to any of the four Eastern Conference teams still playing.

The Celtics quality depth is huge. Not many teams can expect quality minutes from 9 guys every night.

I don’t like the Celtics chances I’ve been wrong before but this isn’t the Nets.

This might be the worst officiated game of the playoffs so far
