Nuggets or Wolves this Wednesday? :patrice:

I’m not worried about Butler, Towns, or Jokic. I think it comes down on which team’s Canadian player is gonna show up. Jamal Murray or Andrew Wiggins? :lupe:

Sorry Wolves fans :mjgrin:

Putting Horford on him and them playing him at the 5 is one of the reasons why I think it's a very dangerous series for yall, mainly because you can't really beat them up on the boards and Giannis at the 5 pulls Horford out the paint. They actually managed to out rebound you in two of those games, and they are the worst rebounding team in the league. Also, if you're using the regular season record it needs to be pointed out that your 2 wins vs them were with Kyrie in the lineup. In a playoff game that slows down like that, they have the guy who we know can score against your defense, you no longer have the A1 offensive weapon to close games. Against the Heat or Wiz I can see why you'd be confident, not against them though, they could definitely knock you off now without Kyrie.

And their 2 wins against us were in the 1st game without Hayward and a game where we had no PGs :manny:

They played Giannis at the 5 for like a 5 minute stretch in the last game and it was basically a wash, and that was with players like Nader & Ojeleye on the court. We’ve played them 4 times with two different coaches and Giannis has rarely been used like that, I’m not sure why you’re convinced they’re going to be leaning on it.

Hayward coming back or something? Not sure how or why his absence factors in for this series if he's not going to be out there. :confused:


They kept the lead with Giannis at the 5 and they played pure 5 out basketball, Bledsoe caught an opp from Giannis with the lane wide open, it causes problem. Playing him at the 5 is something I would do now that Brogdon is back:hubie: I don't think the Celtics have the roster to punish the Bucks for doing it. If they don't do play him there it's yet another failure of coaching, it just makes sense to do it.
