Game 8 – Milwaukee vs. Boston:
The Celtics have a lot of power forwards, and none better then their newest additions of David Lee and Amir Johnson. If those two share the floor they will have a front court that will be hard to stop when they have the ball and easy to score on when they don’t. The Celtics backcourt is nothing to write home about but Isaiah Thomas is a lot better than he gets credit for.
MCW will slow down Thomas and Monroe will get fed the ball over and over. He should be able to score easily on Lee, Johnson, or whoever the C’s throw at him. When Boston starts doubling him, he will find Middleton and Greivis Vasquez on the wings for open shots and that will be enough to win the game.
Monroe gets 20+, Middleton and Vasquez shoot over 38 percentfrom three combined and the Bucks pull off a victory against an always competitive Celtics squad.
