Bucks visit Celtics for Game 1 of this series. I picked the Bucks in 6 games. The healthy Celtics will be a much tougher team, for the Bucks, than the Bulls were. Fear The Deer!

7 turnovers for Milwaukee, already! Stop the sloppy passing, fellas!
Without Middleton, the Bucks have no one who can consistently generate their own offense in the half court.
It would also be nice if Giannis would block out.
Boston turns the ball over to Portis who takes it all the way for 2. Boston's lead is now 2.
Celtics have been called for one foul so far. One.
Holiday getting 2 fouls 6 minutes in is an issue.
Giannis finally gets a foul call on a drive and the Celtics complain.
Nice run to end it. Giannis generates 8 points on 3 assists in 2 minutes.
Wow for not playing real well to be up 3 after one is surprising.
At the end of the 1st Quarter, it's Bucks 27, Celtics 24. Bucks end the quarter on a 10-0 run.

You hardly ever see complainers in a NBA game

Yeah, when Giannis was laying on the floor with the ball, and the defender jumped on top of him, there was no foul called, either. Play resulted in Giannis turning it over.

I always think it's ridiculous when a team gets called for almost no fouls despite playing very physical (Giannis had no FTs) and then hammers a guy and complains.
Doris Burke knows the game but talks so f-ing much
Boston finding our Milwaukee is not Brooklyn defensively
Need to stop turning the ball over though
Turnovers are evening out. If Giannis makes a few layups this would be a 15 point lead.
Grant Williams walking over Giannis unnecessarily went by with no comment.

Without much contact.
Boston is said to have a great defense. The Bucks, however, could have the best defense Boston has faced all season.

Yeah he definitely went out of his way to step over him.
Smart's injury appeared to be a right shoulder dislocation. He looked to really be hurting, coming off the court. We'll see what his injury is and if he can play, anymore, today, or in this series.
Would be a big loss for Boston as he is their best defensive player. It would also allow Holiday more latitude to defend Brown or the 2 spot.
More turnovers to start the second, but the defense is dominating right now.
Bucks have a 5 on 4 and Giannis takes an early shot clock 3. Just stupid basketball.
