Giannis now is going to have to do something that I recall very few players have done: beat the Celtics in game 7 and also eliminate the Celtics on the road.

Know what? If my team is winning in a blowout and i'm trying to dribble it out, and the other team decides to play pressure defense, I'm trying to dunk on their ass.

Either the game's over, or its not. Your call.

Amazing game from two of the best Tatum/Giannis. Hats off.

Give credit to Tatum. He blew up the matchup every time. Rightfully so.

Dude have you watched the series? Hill has been garbage nonstop EVERY game vs EVERY player on Boston. He can't stay in front of anyone unless he sags so far off he can't remotely contest the shot (let alone sagging 10 feet back on dudes who are 5 inches taller lol). Offensively, he can't dribble, can't run PnR, can't shoot or space the floor, can't finish, can't playmake. He's been beyond awful in every conceivable way and it has nothing to do with Tatum. Bud has a hard on for Hill for whatever reason and it makes zero sense considering how good Carter was in game 1. Hill right now is in that end of career Derek Fisher stage where he just hikes his shorts up when in a defensive stance and somehow the Milwaukee coaches think it's him playing good D. It's an abysmal coaching error.

Does anyone have more false confidence than Thanasis?

Rooting for Boston. I love Giannis, but I’m sick and tired of the NBA allowing him to travel and get away with fouls.

Someone needs to explain to me why George Hill is seeing a single minute of playing time?

The only reason and I mean the only reason I can think of why Bud won't play Carter is cause of his height. Other than that I've got nothing.

I mean Hill has to sag so far back to stay in front of dudes that he can't even get his hand up to contest lol. Carter is SOOOOO much better defensively at this stage (and in a series that the refs let perimeter defenders be handsy, Carter is gonna excel just like in game 1)

Celtics have shown championship dna all damn series. Backs against the wall in game 2 to avoid being down 2-0, backs against the wall in game 4 to avoid being down 3-1, now backs against the wall to avoid being eliminated in game 6. They responded each time in the biggest game. The first time in the series, bucks like the Celtics will face the biggest pressure in the same game. All the pressure was on Boston trailing each time in the series.

Cs learned from last game, trusted the lesson of sharing the ball, and kept it moving. Terrific defense throughout as well. Resilient showing in the face of another Bucks' comeback to trim the deficit down to only 4 before the Cs brought up the lead and gutted it out.
