Feeling good about my pre series thought that the bucks couldn’t win this series w out Middleton – 10:18 PM

Felt like the Bucks missed Middleton tonight more than ever. No release for Giannis and he was gassed in the end. Celtics pulled away. Hard to see even him being able to keep this up. – 10:06 PM
