Celtics at Clippers

Didn't watch, but agree that the Clippers are the class of the West if PG13 and Kawhi are healthy come playoff time. 

The Celtics are who I'm worried about if I'm the Bucks. I think they are a bigger threat than the Sixers in the playoffs. I think the Heat might be a bigger threat in the playoffs than the Sixers. Teams win series deep in the playoffs because the complementary guys make outside shots. Teams scheme to take away the stars and the strengths of the secondary options. For the Bucks, that means you stop Giannis from penetrating to the rim, don't let Middleton get uncontested open looks, and stop Bledsoe from bullying a smaller guard on drives (and don't let Brogdon stand alone in the corner. That leaves someone open. For 3 games against the Raptors that was Mirotic. That's exactly why the Bucks traded for him. For the Raptors, that was Fred Van Vliet. 

Toronto won because they had Kawhi who drew defenses so a guy like Van Vliet could make shots (meaning you try to take away Lowry, Ibaka, Siakam as best you can after Kawhi). The Bucks lost in the ECF largely because Mirotic went 3-18 from 3 in Games 3-5 and was unplayable in Game 6. 

In Games 4-6, Fred Van Vliet went 14 for 17 from 3. For all the other stuff, if either Mirotic makes 3s at even 25% or Van Vliet shoots at even 60% the Bucks win that series. 

I don't see the Sixers having enough shooting to have a Van Vliet type guy go off. Tyler Herro for the Heat as this guy scares me. Jaylen Brown in this position concerns me. Furkan Korkmaz for the Sixers doesn't scare me.
