PG Celtics - Bucks Fall

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

Khris's mobility is going to be a massive issue against this team.

not if hes a bench option

[slappyg]

Khris is not moving well, made Beasley look like the defensive player of the year

[bucksfansince88]

Boston is not better than us in any way. Their defense was trash. Make an occasional layup and this is a win.

Also, someone please take Dame's watch and cheat it ahead a few minutes. Sleepwalking until Dame Time is unnecessary.

He needs to be the general and initiate the offense every time down the floor when he is in the game. We need a coach that can break GAs horrible habits too and get him to play within an offense

[Daver]

I feel Dame is about to break through. Very optimistic.

This might be the game that sends Beasley to the bench.

Boston better hope for health. That starting five is great. They are clear best in east to me.

How can you say their the best the bucks played like sh.. n lost by only 3 points.Their team may be 12-3 but thrir starting 5 dont scare me.Bucks had 101 shots tonight they hit their normsl amount n they win

[Mtsportsfan]

Same old same old . go out to Boston , prime time game and we come out and play like crap ! I love Giannis but he has to play smarter , for what ever reason he just loses his mind playing them ! And of course there bench guys don't seem to miss and ours can't buy one ! Boston is a place we should try to avoid if possible!

[drdrG]

Maybe I'm just happy and optimistic because it's Thanksgiving and I'm grateful that Giannis, Dame, Khris and others play for my team but I'm incredibly encouraged by the game tonight.

Felt like we needed our best to beat Boston in the past. Tonight we got good for like 6 minutes and we never lost touch completely despite Boston having their full roster and playing really well.

If Giannis slowed down and made many of the shots he normally makes, we walk out of there with a win in my opinion. We are trending up and building into something great while Boston feels already fully actualized.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

Also, we're a deeply unserious team if our plan is to play Malik Beasley in a playoff series against these guys. Absolutely BBQ'd

Everyone got toasted on defense. Beasley wasn't the worst

[WiscoKing13]

How do we get someone on the bench that will tell Giannis he's a big dumb idiot sometimes? Could we hire his mother as a coach possibly?

This is one of the most underrated disappointments of the the new coach. He's just a yes man. Not pushing Giannis to grow at all.

like just imagine you're a boston fan and this was game 1 of a 7 game series

you'd be like "thank f*ck we won that, but the bucks are gonna kill us if they put it together"

[Milbucks96]

Booooo, this game was not as close as the end score indicated. A blowout loss was predictable even with the emotions coming into the game. Dame and Giannis needs a couple more sessions together.

In all seriousness, our team sucks when Dame and Brook are playing. Our team is at its best when Giannis is dominating the ball. We know what that means come playoff time. That needs to be figured out.

PS. We’re hoping a second round pick and a late round, old prospect are our solutions for defending two all nba wings in a playoff series.

[Neuromancer56]

Bucks had 101 shot attempts tonight to bostons 84 how the fu.. we lose

By missing 20 layups.

[MickeyDavis]

AG briefly yanking Giannis to chew him out was great. Probably the first time that's ever happened.

I stand entirely by my statement regardless if he wasn't the worst tonight. My previous post addressed the nightmare that Middleton will be against them too.

We have been saying that it seems forever ! If we only hit our shots , but yet it seems we never do ! I don't have stats but they sure seem to shoot the ball way better than we do!

[HKPackFan]

Cam Payne and beast now miss shots. When before they couldn't miss a 3

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

I've definitely seen enough up 20 pull your foot off the gas games to not be too high on this 3 point loss.

nah...we reeled this in with shotmaking. they wanted to send a message and the way it worked out the last 5 minutes maybe we did?

[Plossum]

It's a typical November NBA game. I think the Celts are (and will be) a lot better than what they showed tonight. Kinda like the first couple of rounds of a big fight with guys feeling each other out. There will be much bigger games to come.

[soxperry]

This was that classic Giannis, first game of a playoff series, performance. Just seeing ghosts out there. Missing bunnies. Looking indecisive with the ball in his hands. I dont totally blame them. Celtics are a nightmare protecting the rim. Somehow White can block shots like Lopez lol.

Would have liked to see Dame be more aggressive early. I know he took some shots but he didn't seem to have the juice. Still, down the stretch, we got mostly what we needed out of him.

Khris didn't have it. That was just subpar.

Andre continues to look like the man. Not a perfect game but still making winning plays and not afraid in the least.

I think more than anything, my notion of what Boston is with and without Porzingis has been reinforced. With him on the court, it's very hard to defend everything at once and they make it look way too easy at times. With him off the court, it's just a bunch of iso ball. Still good, because they have very good players, but nothing like what they have going with KP on. One major strategy i would implement IMMEDIATELY is to try as hard as humanly possible to get the 1 or 2 seed. Potentially playing Boston after two other teams have had a chance to go at KP over and over to get him into foul trouble, hopefully running him into the ground, would be a massive boon to our chances against them. I think we actually beat them pretty easily if they dont have a 100% KP.

This was definitely one game where we could have used Crowder. We were just a defender short, and he's the kind of defender we needed the most.

[Siefer]

AG positive: pulling Giannis for a minute and going after him for whining about the carry call when he missed Brook under the rim to begin with, and then didn't get back on D.

[tsamo]

Just one thing.
So... many... missed... bunnies...
