Who is the best playoff team out of the Sixers, Bucks and Celtics?

Feels like any playoff matchup of them would go six or seven games.

[Xiao Yao You]

Bucks. Best player

[fourkicks44]

My money is on the Celtics.

Too long, switchable and too much fire power. Youth and experience combined.

I honestly would be confident of a Sixers' win going into a Philadelphia vs Milwaukee series. Against Boston, not so much.

[highwhey]

should be the bucks, but that depends on the officiating. are they going to allow the egregious offensive fouls from gianna while calling anyone who takes a shoulder from him on their chest a defensive foul? if so, it's the bucks for sure.

My money is on the Bucks, but time will tell.
If they are playing their best, they could take the other team to its limit. It's not a clear-cut winner imo. So, six-seven games to either team.

All healthy?

1. Bucks
2. Celtics
3. Sixers

[Mask the Embiid]

Sixers will beat bucks
Bucks will beat Celtics
Celtics will beat sixers (if doc is coach)

So whoever gets the 1st seed will win the East. The only thing that can shake this up is if the Celtics lose to the raptors or something in the 1st round or the Sixers being upset by the Cavs/heat


Bucks will beat everyone in the East except harden/embiid. Jrue holiday has absolutely no effect on harden. It’s certain ppl jrue just can’t stop or even bother (Westbrook, Lebron,rose,ect) and harden is thankfully one of them. Trust me I watched the man for years, I know who he can & can’t check

Secret is to guard Brown and limit to 15 points ... let Tatum shot for 80 ... any team will pretty much win.

[Manny98]

Milwaukee easily

[Mask the Embiid]

Milwaukee easily

The nets are like a bye to the 2nd round. Whoever plays them will sweep or at worst win 4-1. I just wanted you to know that….deep down you already knew though


To add to my 1st post
Cavs will give Celtics and sixers a fight. Bucks will steam roll em

[Wally450]

The Bucks. They have the best capability of playing to the level they need to, to win. Currently, I can't trust the Celtics with their recent play. Good thing we have another month before the playoffs start.

Philly I usually write off, so I'll continue to.

I think it is the Celtics, because they have matched up well vs both teams, and they've not lost to either team when Tatum and Brown were in the line up this year.

What i like about Boston is they have 3 starting quality guards, 2 star wings, and complimentary Bigs, so from a team building perspective they nearly check all the boxes. The concern will be how their bigs will hold up. Their play is typically the difference between Boston looking like a juggernaut or a more beatable version. So i get why people wont want to bet on 36 year old and an injury prone center. However, I think Horford was perserved all year for the playoffs and Rob looked more like his athletic self the last few weeks.

I think the concerns people have, that when the Celtics have looked bad this year their play was on bottom of the league side, e.g losing to Orl, OKC, Rox, etc. Which might have people thinking this is the same team that performed poorly in the finals. I think their poor play at time was playing lazy and disinterested basketball and not relatable to the finals or last years run. In those games they played with no intensity and just let their opponents walk into 3s while hoisting up poor quality 3s with low effort on offense too, but for the big games they usually showed up and played elite.

My concers aginst these 2 teams is they both have the more dominant player. For Milwaukee in particular Giannis is the best player today and the Buck have improved offensively as the season progressed. They are now a good 3 point shooting team which thry weren't last year. Speaking about shooting the Sixers are the best shooting team and i believe they are going to be a more sustainable shooting team in the playoffs because thry generate quality looks to the corner from Embiid gravity inside. Im also concern about Tatum not really having big hames against Philly this season. The reason why we are usually beating up on Philly is because they had no answer for Tatum.

Here is the tldr version

I think when all the teams were at their best this year these were their best stretches. Please correct me if i got something wrong.

Bos 21-5 from season opener to Dec 9 with 9.2 Net
Mil 25-4 from Jan 15 to Mar 23 with a 8.9 Net
Phi 23-7 from Jan 15 to Mar 23 with 7.2 Net

I think at their best Boston has the best punch

[Axe]

Bucks need to get middleton back asap.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Don't the Bucks have 4 all-star caliber players and 3 DPOY level defenders in their starting line-up? They also happen to have a 2x MVP. I'll go with them.

[red1]

gotta go with the bucks, celtics second


giannis is the best player in the league and he has all veterans around him

[Jasper]

I said this before .. I have watched Tatum a lot ... when the pressure is on .. you see him play tight.

The guy that drives the Celtics is Brown. (Bucks need to man up on him) Let Tatum choke hard, he may make a few, but will miss some
to lose the game. )
No jinx hear , it is just what I saw all year long.
If he gets 40 in a win , I can guarantee you that 10-15 of those points is when the game has already been decided .
