PG Boston: Bucks Win - Yay?

[MickeyDavis]

LOL at Celtics fans thinking that was playoff intensity. Giannis was napping for a large part of the game. Middleton was in drunk mode.

Impressive that drunk mode for Mids is 22/8/9 on 50% shooting and a 3:1 A/TO ratio

Yeah his numbers were good but he was comical trying to get some rebounds and loose balls.

That's Mids every night, he looks clumsy some of the times. Maybe that was a drunk game for Mids tho considering it was vs. Boston

When he protects the ball, Smart can't guard him. It's a total joke that Smart is the frontrunner for DPOY at this point. He's a quality defender, but he's not even a top 2 defender on his own team.

Mids can get his shot off vs. whoever, it's game over when he gets to his spot so I don't blame Smart. Who do you think is better besides Time lord? Tatum? Brown? White? Williams? They have a lot of great defenders on their team

That was the most..... Going through the motions game by Giannis. Turned it on once in a while, but definitely foot off the gas.

Tatum and Williams for sure. Brown and Horford are on his level imo.

According to tracking data, Celtics were 11-19 on wide open 3s, 6-24 on open 3s, 4-6 on tightly guarded, and 0-1 on very tightly guarded.

By contrast, the Bucks were 8-21, 6-15, 0-2, and 0-0. We took better shots and they made more. It happens. But 33 is a hell of a lot of open/wide-open 3s for a team with Marcus Smart as the primary facilitator. Our defense stunk.

It felt like half of Smart's 3's were with Bobby standing well in front of him giving him plenty of room, and not even putting a hand up. Not sure if you would count that as being 'guarded'

Smart was 2-3 on tight 2-3 on open and 3-6 on wide open, so about what you'd have probably guessed.
