This is going to be a VERY interesting series.  The Celtics have a major advantage when it comes to defense, coaching, and cohesiveness.  Unfortunately their margin for error is back to being very small like in years past.  It wouldn't surprise me to see a couple 3-5 minute drought's on offense that result in a very tight game in the 4th.  Hopefully the late game heroics from the regular season will translate into this series.

As for Milwaukee, their talent is undeniable but they haven't been able to put it together.  My only concern is if guys like Bledsoe, Middleton, and Parker find their confidence early in game 1.  Bledsoe is the real X-Factor IMO.  It's been popular to rip on him for lack of team success but I wouldn't rule out his potential to find an extra gear in the playoffs.  This will be his first playoff series at a starter.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Henson is their weak link in that lineup. They ought to play Giannis at the 5 at some point (with Jabari) to improve the talent level at every position.

Let's go Celtics ! Can't wait for the game to start and to see how Jaylen, Jayson (especially) and Rozier perform with such pressure on their shoulders. We can afford Giannis going off if his sidekicks stay cold, hopefully we have some 10 point-lead to start the 4th and have some cushion to finish the game.

I know we're short-handed and we don't have any chance to win the title this year, but man... I love the Celtics, I love the playoff and I'm really excited to see what Jaylen and Tatum can do, so bring it on.

Let's go C's!!
