    2 Dogs tonight in Game 3s: Bucks and Nuggets

    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.

    Lot of those open 3's were from run outs off Celtics misses. I have to believe Stevens drilled into his guys to get back in transition.

    Also think Celtics slow it down and attack the mismatches they get offense. I took Celtics and under but with you on Nuggets

    Murray looks horrible, Denver will have to consider benching him if he keeps shooting like he did in the first quarter.

    NBA is a second half game. Especially in the playoffs. What you gonna do for me down the stretch? But you know this man

    The kid Murray built different. Young cuthroat I call him. Read his story. He was hardwired to dribble & shoot a basketball. 20ppg as a freshman at Kentucky. That’s no joke guys don’t just do 20ppg at Kentucky. Calipari gave him the keys.

    These Canadian boys built different man. They’re assassins trained to go. Shai Gilgeous? RJ Barrett? These guys got next
