    Raptors may have something to say about that.. Agreed.. I got a future pending on the Raptors to win the East. I'm sure hoping that sticks..

Celtics the best playoff team in the East until proven otherwise.

    Philadelphia matches up better with Milwaukee then Toronto because Embiid can protect the paint against Giannis, Toronto has destroyed PHiladelphia's bad defense.

    bucks are 7.5 point favorites in game 1, that's more than home court advantage

    guess you will pile life savings into celtics +225 then since you are so convinced

    No one can beat the Warriors. 0% chance.

    Bucks can win the East but I agree that they are not the favorite in my book. Celtics are the favorite to win this series, but they're missing Marcus Smart for this series, and he could have basically taken Khris Middleton out of the series imo. Let's see how Jaylen Brown fares. If Hayward was 100% and the chemistry was back, Celtics would win this series easily obviously. But Hayward isn't back to 100, and the chemistry isn't all the way back.

    I might wait to see if the Celtics lose game 1. And then take them to win the series. Not sure though.

    That's true. Bucks are pretty deep. They can win the East, for sure. But I'm just still not a fan of system players. Guys who change their game for their system. Brook Lopez launching 30 footers. I don't agree with that shit. If he goes cold for 3 games or something, coach is gonna say "keep shooting them" but by that time it could be too late, you know? I think the teams that win championships have players that adjust on the fly. Like when Wade and Lebron knew the spurs were packing in the paint, they took that midrange jumper all day, even though they really didn't want to.

    I haven't seen that yet from the Bucks, because they haven't been tested. Once they are tested in a playoff battle, we'll see the real bucks. Maybe they will surprise me. Maybe they are the best team in the East. We shall see. I won't hand them that title just because they got a 1 seed. Who cares about seeding anyway.

    Sick tickets btw. I was about 20 rows back last night and lost my voice. If I was second row for a playoff game, I would definitely feel as if I could alter the game.... I could win that game imo. Seriously. With how much I yell. I'm out there coaching guys, shitting on guys, etc. Love it. Best part of going to a game.

    yeah i have done more than my share of terrible behavior being close like that, best memory is when i kept yelling at mike bibby and he got so pissed off he got a technical arguing with the ref about it... and another time we were right behind the bench and my son told jason kidd to sit down because he kept blocking his view lol

    totally agree about lopez jacking up 3s, and giannis shooting those also, because they are low % and there is no offensive rebounding when they do that

    "The Bucks have a league-high 45 wins by double-digits over the course of the regular season. Prior to them, only 7 teams in NBA history had 45+ wins by double-digits. All of them won the title."

    and yet you can still get +500 since there are so many doubters

    bucks are 35-17 against the spread since christmas... celtics are 26-26... raptors are 24-27

    Giannis Antetokounmpo is the fifth player in Bucks history to score 40+ in a playoff game. His 32 minutes were the fewest in team history in a 40-point playoff game.
