Boston is a much better matchup for Milwaukee.

I know it would have been fun to extend this series a bit, but round 2 should be great.

Yea i thought Indy would be good enough to win at least 1 game.

Bummer.

Very real chance we only get 2 series that goes longer than 5 games in round 1

As many as 7 FA's, Indy could look a lot different next season.

Out doing the Easter thing... missed the game, but glad Boston shut the door hard and gets some days to rest up.

Indy was a fortunate first round match up for the C's... and not just because Oladipo was out. Indy still plays great defense and is well coached, so it was still a battle... which Boston needed to get warmed up for the much bigger challenge next round.

Bucks vs Celtics is shaping up to be epic... (or as epic as a 2nd round series can possibly be)

Indy played great. Bojan and tyreke are intriguing FAs this summer

No doubt Boston a tougher matchup but I do wonder about them a little. Bucks arguably better than Indiana at every position in the lineup than Indiana...often not even close. And Indiana was in every game it seems at least until the 4th quarter.

Maybe just who Indiana is, though. No doubt a tough team.

Hope you are right, but Bucks are not Indy, who despite the sweep didn't seem like Cs could put away early in any game. I'd say Milwaukee is better than Indiana at every position....and it's not really close. Possible Cs step it up, I guess.

Congrats on the sweep!!

It's going to be epic, it may very well decide the East. If Boston gets by the Bucks, I think they have definitive shot with the Raps or sixers.
