    Celtics Look Tough But......
    Milwaukee went 20-1 SU and 17-4 ATS after a loss this season with the average win by over 14 points. Boston looks to be playing their best ball of the year though.

    Thoughts ???

    You nailed it ...but you left out that none of those bounce back games came against the Celtics. Sweep looks possible to me (10-1 shot).

      If they control and continue to confuse G.A., Milw. will get beat. Even self admitted by G.A.

              Bucks have no true second option. Greek is a bad shooter. Bud is a playoff loser. Boston has more weapons and will be smelling blood

                My NBA instinct says lay the points. I was way off in game one though. GL, men.

                  Well the Celtics may average even money odds in Boston even after a game 2 win. Multiply 4 by the game 2 price (3.7) and you have 14.8 (i.e about 14-1) so you might get better value parlaying one win into another.

                    I thought about that. Celtics are only +265 on the money line tonight, going back home after that the ML odds probably drop to close to even odds or less for the final 2 games.

                    If you do the math it's close either way..

                      You realise you just repeated what I wrote in American odds?

                        I guess so..

                        I wasn't paying close attention, I'm trying to cap games and player props while spot reading and posting on the side. Not easy multi tasking like this always.

                          Milwaukee should make some adjustments. Giannis needs to pass more instead of going at 3-4 guys in the paint.

                          The whole Bucks team looked hesitant, especially Bledsoe. I think they bounce back but Celtics score too. I bet over 219

                                i think points are way to go but i wouldnt bet as much like i did on the first game. i think series get tied 1-1..

                                i took ML in game 1.. but would not recommend it in game 2. i'd wait until game 3 when C's are like -1.5 or something at home. 6 wins in a row must be Boston's longest of the season it feels like thats due to end soon

                                  Listen I put max wagers on celtics almost every single night.

                                  They need to weather whatever storm bucks want to throw out.

                                  But any real basketball head could look at these rosters and realize the mismatch here.

                                  One team is loaded and one team is reliant on one guy who hasnst been out of first round and cannot shoot

                                  one team couldnt beat the celtics last year despite middleton shooting 77% or something from the field in 7 games.
                                  Add Kyrie IRving and Gordon Hayward.....and everyone thinks the Bucks are gonna smash them? get your head examined.

                                  this will be tough game for the celtics to win and i fear that bucks could come out and play hard. but they have to rely on guys like connaghton, george hill, ilyasova, bledsoe, lopez, etc. to hit shots. theyre obodies if we're being honest. Celtics throw out blue chips tatum and brown, etc.
                                  however, what will the bucks do if celtics come locked in again, don't know if they'll go back into a shell...

                                        really doesnt mean anything...they were exposed completely..irving can score anytime and hayward can make plays for others...horford solid, brown huge upgrade from smart on offense and still plays D.. rozier can break the defense and they are playing as a team...expect much better bucks but still 7 points might be too much..

                                          if trends worked you would not work

                                          30 winning trends on Boston side too if you look deep enough

                                              First 6 minutes will be huge.

                                              If Boston can start strong the bucks will get super tight.

                                                  I was thinking the same, Bucks have to get up early.. if they have a better game plan
                                                  that should be evident in the first 10 mins. If not, they are in trouble.

                                                    Let's be realistic... this is the NBA....

                                                    If the refs want Milwaukee to cover.... every time Giannis drives the lane.... the refs will call the foul.

                                                    If they want Boston to win... every time Giannis drives the lane... don't call the foul.

                                                    Honestly... Giannis was murdered down the lane in Game 1... and the refs weren't calling anything.

                                                    Tune into Game 2.

                                                              I think ppl make way too much out of the incredibly meaningless regular season. As much as the NBA has changed and turned to dog shit w the pathetic rules some things stay the same.

                                                              The biggest thing that hasn’t changed is upstart teams like the bucks who run roughshod thru the regular season run into a more experienced tough nosed team in the playoffs and get knocked off. I strongly believe You still gotta take your lumps in the playoffs a few years before breaking thru and getting to the finals. Think the Jordan led bulls vs the pistons.

                                                              Even If Greek freak is becoming a star of that magnitude he still has some things about his game that need work, mainly kinda like mike he needs to develop more range on his jumper! Celts are gonna make it tough on him to finish at the rim all series imo.

                                                              While I definately believe Bucks will play much better in gm 2 I just can’t see them blowing Boston out, celts have gotten better every playoff game! I got the ml cash in gm 1 but just going ats here. Boston +7.5 for me, I can live w a loss if milw covers, I can’t live w passing and watching Boston play them tough again!!

                                                              Gl whatever everyone decides.

                                                                i took ML in game 1.. but would not recommend it in game 2. i'd wait until game 3 when C's are like -1.5 or something at home. 6 wins in a row must be Boston's longest of the season it feels like thats due to end soon
                                                                Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Normally I pass altogether after getting the dog ml cash in gm1 but I just think they were so wrong w the odds on this series I can’t resist going Boston w the points at least. I am passing on the ml tho. Milw should tie the series but I feel like them winning by more than 7 is asking a lot, imo only happens if Boston is content w the split.
