PG Celtics - 4th Quarter Fade

[KidA24]

Giannis is a far smarter player than Tatum.

Cool story bro, but no.

Tatum is a whiny dude, but he makes the right basketball play consistently.

Nope, Tatum constantly chucks the wrong shots and stalls their offense

The guy with the .604 TS who averages 1 assist less than Giannis and more hockey assists than Giannis.

Yep.

This game was winnable but Giannis can not take that 3 down one. I was like nooooo lol he has to drive that ball to the hoop there. KM out there makes such difference and will only get better after he is in game shape. Portis for an athletic big who can block some shots would be cool he drives me nuts. This was the game where you can’t have Portis and Lopez out there together.

Seriously though what did we ever do to ESPN to deserve this coverage? They openly cheer against us the entire game.

Next time they play Boston on espn I’m gonna get a stopwatch and measure how much time is spent praising Boston and/or sh*tting on Milwaukee.

Not enough "not Bobby" minutes

Down the stretch is just expected comedy...

1.Would rather see Dame take it inside instead of a leaning 3
2. Giannis 3.. FFS
3. GA missing a big FT
4. KM stumbling over the last pass

Sh$t needs to be cleaned up

Give all of Bobby’s minutes to TP and Khris

That last pass was pretty bad.

I thought the team looked very good tonight with Khris back. When the big 3 was on the court with Green (the big 3.5) I thought we looked as good as anyone. I don't like the isolation at the end of the game without a screen or anything ran at all. Coaching needs to correct that. It's correctable and can result in us beating anyone. Glad to see Khris moving well tonight and looking like a contributor, that's huge. I felt like we were close to pulling away at times but it just didn't happen tonight.

Shocked that JragonDunn blamed Middleton there

Not enough "not Bobby" minutes

And 15 too
many shots

That was wild how during the game I was talking about how Horford owns Giannis mentally.

Then with the Bucks down by 1 with just over a minute to-go, Giannis only has Horford in front of him with no help and Giannis jacks an absolute garbage 3.

That was exactly the type of thing that I was talking about.

Giannis' overall numbers against Horford/Boston might not be terrible, but Horford is totally in his head which makes Giannis do dumb ****, more dumb **** than he normally does. I watch all the Bucks games. No way does Giannis jack a garbage 3 in that situation if we're playing anyone but Boston.

It could also possibly be that Boston as a team is in Giannis' head. Maybe it's not so much just Horford.

BBIQ has always been aproblem for this group

Whenever a team makes Dame play defense, he can't make a shot down the stretch.

Was watching for your narrative tonight. And this one you are correct on. He played some good D. But he gets tired.

On that Giannis three with a lot of time on the shot clock…..ugh. I thought he had that stuff coached out of him.

We’ve got two top 75 players. And neither could do what needed to be done tonight. No point in analyzing further than that. The last five minutes are for your stars.

Boneheaded shot aside, it is pretty crazy that Giannis ‘struggled’ with Horford most of the night and still got 30 on over 50% from the field.

I think he did quite well on every other Celtic

I'm sure the numbers will come out and be exact but I don't know if he created more than 1 or 2 makes for himself when Horford was on him.

Also, I don’t really care, just found it weird that after the steal by white at the end, Horford was basically telling him not to shoot and then he ended up with the ball and took a lay up at the buzzer. Like why?

He was gonna get fouled.

If they are going to switch every screen, Giannis should go for 70 on 60% shooting, hunting the guy he wants to go one on one against

[blazza18]

Giannis has to find a better balance between being aggressive and being smart specially in tight games where every possession matters. The shot and follow up quote on it are disappointing. He knows the way to being successful but still seems unwilling to go all in when he needs to.
