I think even without Middleton, I'd rather take the Bucks than the Celtics.

Fact of the matter is Giannis is simply way too good of a player, and the whole team is constructed in a way that is sensible enough for the absence of one 2nd option to not hurt as much as people think it does.

Definitely taking the Bucks for this, for the price it's a bargain.

I took an outside bookie bet, they gave me +1.5 for my Bucks in the series with +100 money, I took it right away although I still have a bet on my bookie because I think that's an opportunity. Game will start soon, I'm excited to see the game, hopefully Bucks will draw a great game plan to beat the Celtics in game 1.

The first quarter is already started and both teams have a close match. Bucks easily recover on a 5 points deficit and get the lead by having a 3pts advantage on the end of first quarter. Giannis already have 5reb/4assist/6pts on this first quarter. I believe Bucks can this if they continue on this pace especially Giannis. This is what needed performance by him to stop the rampaging Boston Celtics. GL bettors!

I'm happy with the result and happy with the handicap I got in the series. LOL..

Bucks showed their dominance, especially Giannis. Celtics has no other strategy but to shoot outside because they cannot drive inside. if they will not make the right adjustment in game 2, sorry for them, I smell a sweep here. Grin

The improvement shown by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown is really noticeable. Still working on believing how they managed to sweep the Brooklyn Nets with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on board. I'm not saying the Celtics will not win the series against the Nets but what I'm surprised is that they totally didn't allow the Nets to win even once.

I have no doubt on Tatum as he can really play under pressure, but for Jalylen Brown, I find him fragile, and with the physical defense of the Bucks, I think he would not produce the same number as he did in the first round against the Nets.

Heading against the Milwaukee Bucks, this team needs all the help they can get from their roster. The absence of Middleton in this series will put Bucks on the adjustment on Game 1 then from there, they will just go with the flow and try to keep up with the Celtics.

I'm with Milwaukee Bucks here to win the series but to challenge the much improved Boston Celtics, I consider the absence of Middleton as a handicap for them compare against their previous series against Chicago Bulls.

If that absence will make the Bucks a better team, I'll take it..

Without him, I still find the defending champ having a decent chance of winning, actually I can't wait to see game 1, it's very early in my timezone.

If you would based your bet off with the previous matches of this teams, then Bucks has the upper hand as they won 6 games out of their 10 matches. But if you would based off from the current situation, Celtics is indeed having the momentum here as Bucks is down with one of their great players. Even other bettors agrees that Celtics' performance is great and promising now as Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown are their current carries. I see a Celtics win here in this series.

It’s also important to consider on what team each player beat prior to this upcoming matchup, Celtics sweep Nets which is the crowd favorite while Bucks 4-1 Bulls which is far more weaker than Nets, Nets just have a low standing because there star player just recently came back late for the regular season. Celtics is surely has the upper hand base on the stats but as usual Giannis is incredible during playoffs which might give an upset game for Celtics.

I get what you're saying but this round is different because the Celtics is up against the defending champion who's star player can really be unstoppable if he chooses it to be that way. But yes, let's consider their last opponent which was Nets for the Celtics. Gotta give that credits for the Celtics especially Tatum for stopping the unstoppable duo of the Nets but we can't forget that the Nets is very vulnerable on their defensive which gave them an advantage to pour huge scores.

All I can say was Tatum improves a lot this year. I believe they will be beaten up by Nets if they are still playing like there performance last that full arrogance and has no clutch time experience. The current Boston roster is an improved version of last year. They already gain much experience to close a series without choking. I think they have the best shot to be on finals on East rather than Bucks since Bucks is fully dependent on Giannis. It will need a full hype Giannis to beat Boston to a 7 match series.

Yeah, we have seen how the Celtics really evolved in the last 20 games of the pre-season, and they are one of the hottest team and very consistent as far as winning games. And it carry in their series against the Nets and we've seen how the team shutdown one of the best scorer we have in the league. However, not sure how they are going to stop Giannis but for sure they have a game plan on the big guy. Boston will have the momentum and we will see how the series will go but I think the Celtics will go out and win it in a tough match.

They surely have learned their lesson last year when the Brooklyn Nets have eliminated them in the first round with a 4-1 standing, they were not that hungry last year too that's why the Nets have took them down that easy. But this year, fate have matched them again and the result was opposite from what happened last year and they even swept the Nets now.

The match-up of Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks is indeed interesting to see.

Choose your team and tell me why they should win.

With how the Boston Celtics team has been playing lately and how good their defence is they are the big favorites in this match. Antetokumpo will need to play a really really good series if they want to knockout Boston in this series. It will be a nice duel between Tatum and Antetokumpo.

I think Antetokumpo would win the competition as Tatum has not proven himself yet. When the series is close, the Bucks has the upper hand to win it all.

if you guys remember last season.

Bucks are good at bouncing back, in the Eastern 2nd round, they are down 0-2 in the series but they bounce back and beat the Nets in 7.
And, in the Finals, they are also down 0-2 against the Suns but win the last 4 games.

This bucks team even without Middleton is still a team to beat.

Challenging basketball team, both teams have good and strong players like: J.Tatum and Antetokounmpo, I believe it's a calming tournament, yesterday they Celtics and Bucks met on 8/4/22, the Bucks beat the Celtics with a score of 127-121.

Both have good match history, they excel in basketball matches against other teams, I also saw several betting sites, win hope for Celtics is high to 67% for Bucks percent is low, it is just a prediction, to be honest for the second half between Celtics and Bucks if G. Hill continues to play in Bucks team, I believe in this round of the game the Bucks will exceed 5-7 points at the end of the match between the Celtics and the Bucks.

Celtics game 1 and 2 and the rest will be Bucks game. Giannis is on different level than KD when it comes to playoffs because he can solo carry his team using his beast power in both offense and defense. Boston is really strong this season but Giannis still Giannis even without Middleton. He can make through the way out of Celtics game. This will be a very interesting game since there will be a lot of physicality coming from both of this team. This will be a good betting opportunity for those handicap bet type lover.

Nobody is expecting that someone in Celtics can totally stop Giannis, but still it's a team play. If the Celtics are going to be consistent offensively, regardless of how unstoppable Giannis is they could still beat the Bucks.
Celtics defense has been improved and there are new good additional role players who has been performing well alongside Tatum and Brown. Daniel Theis who I always see as an undersized center is doing good as well.
So, yeah this is going to be good match up regardless of who wins the series.

If its only one Celtics defender then there really isn't.
On the other hand though, that is why the Celtics are the best defensive right now. Because they are good in rotation that even though they will double team someone, they can still run thru other players and at least alter the shot. They aren't giving free open shots to their opponents.

I might be too optimistic with the Celtics since I predicted them to be the winners of this series but the Bucks can still win if they will make a way to stop Tatum. I think Holiday will be defending him since he is their best defender though he lacks height compare to Tatum. Three point will also help them as well as the Bucks have many shooters as well and of course Giannis dominating the paint. Overall, I agree that this will be a good series and this might end in 7 games (fingers cross since the Nets/Celtics series didn't end up in 7 games) Cheesy

.

I don't think that Holiday can stop Tatum, as you have said, he is too small. Portis might be a good candidate, but I think he is too slow and we all know that Tatum is athletic. I think Middleton is a perfect fit, but he too is injured.

The same with the Giannis case, no one can stop him from the Celtics. Horford is too old and small to guard Giannis. Yes, game 7 in a decider will be good because this series is very unpredictable.

There's a reason why the Celtics are the favorites, although the Bucks dominated the Bulls but remember that they are still playing without Middleton in this 2nd round series. As reported, https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/04/khris-middleton-may-miss-second-round-series.html.. it says he might missed the 2nd round but him injured in the 1st round would not easily make him comeback in his full potential.

Seems that most of us here are going with the Celtics side, can't argue about that as they have shown some impressive performance last round with the Nets and the fact that they have to able stop the Net's duo is a not a simple thing to do as that duo is also unpredictable but they have managed to stop them from throwing easy baskets.

But for me, I'll still go with the Bucks as I'm not that yet convinced that they can dominate the Bucks too and it's also hard to go against the champion last season.

I see their offense has improved more than their defense. They are moving the ball very well now and their shooters are everywhere. That's the game now, a team must have a good outside shooter and I think Bucks also has the players to do that, their only advantage is the paint because they have Lopez and Giannis, and sometimes Portis also play with the 2 big guys.

I voted for the Bucks to win the series.

This is not just about the odds on the match, I just like the chances of the Bucks because they are the defending champion, and it's only a 2nd round and they have a chance to beat the Celtics here. With the size of Giannis being unstoppable, that alone for me is already a bonus, yes, Celtics are tough, but Bucks IMO are tougher due to their experience.

Yeah, that say about this time, they are the defending champs so we all know the adversaries that they went last year against the Nets and they could have lost that series.

And then they beat highly touted Suns with Giannis blocking Ayton. So for me the Bucks is better as far as the experience goes and they still have one of the most dominant player right now, Giannis.

I voted for the Celtics to win the series against the Bucks. I think they are healthy and complete and it seems they have find the perfect combination including from coaches to players. Middleton will be missed in this series and we don't know if he will be back if the Bucks are not in the lead or at least in the brink of elimination. So for me it will be Celtics in 6 games.
