Now that every first round playoff series in the books, today begins the Conference Semifinals, led off by what many consider to be the premier series of the second round: the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics. Let’s drink just to getting here, because it’s a Sunday brunch-time tip in the Central time zone (to those of you who remember the American sitcom Cheers, set in Boston: Sam “Mayday” Malone was the bartender at the eponymous bar, a former Red Sox relief pitcher played by Ted Danson). Anyway, both teams made quick work of their first round opponents and should be well-rested: Boston enjoyed five full days off since sweeping Brooklyn last Monday and the Bucks had three days since dispatching the Bulls.
