The Celtics defense has been horrible in this series. The Bucks are literally getting wide open 3 after open 3, and I don't know how the Celtics are going to stop that, with their formula of guarding Giannis seeming to take priortiy. If the Bucks shoot even decent on those open 3s, the Celtics will have a hard time winning. I see a heroic effort from Irving tonight, with him being able to basically take anyone on the Bucks 1on1, and them wanting to switch everything, but not sure it'll be enough.
The nuggets thoroughly outplayed Portland in both games this series. Game 2 was a shit show of offensive rebounds for Denver and failed putbacks. Portland is clearly outmatched in this series, and without the herculean efforts of Lillard, I don't see how this team wins this series. Game 3 is usually the pivital game in an NBA series, and I like Denver to come out and win this one in Portland and have a small chance of winning game 4. But Denver should definitely win this series unless Lillard turns into Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan these next few games, which I think is impossible.
I'll be posting my plays in my thread later tonight. Wanted to get this out there for whoever is interested.
