(#8) Bucks - (#1) Celtics Series

We're kicking off the second round here with the Celtics and Bucks, and I'm going to predict a sweep. I actually have a hard time imagining this Celtics team losing until they get see either the Bulls or Sixers in the Conference Finals. I mean, the Celtics have 11 Hall of Famers and Paul Pierce, who basketball-reference gives a 96.3% chance of making the Hall of Fame, and who my own personal "Greatness Formula" has ranked as the 58th greatest player of all-time with a score of 211.9 to begin this season. But let's see what happens. (By the way, I am adamantly not a Celtics fan... this team is just flat out stacked.)

Yeah, that went pretty much as expected. Sorry Milwaukee, but you never really stood a chance. We'll see if the Pistons or the upstart Magic can take a game from the Celtics in the next round.
