Genuinely cannot believe we won. down ten with almost everyone in foul trouble end of the third. Al has been awesome in the playoffs for Boston every year we’ve had him

It's odd that Boston lost both games with their full starting lineup and won both games they were missing a player.

Celtics have to play perfect basketball if they want to win this series. They complete "gave away" Game 3, with the entire team not showing up. They cant afford to do that again. If this goes 7, Giannis will single handedly will his team past the Celtics.

Jrue reminding everyone why Philly traded him and started the Process well over a decade ago.

Ιts unbelievable
People are noticing it now because of the 30 ball but he's been unreal on D throughout
Dunno what he does exactly, he doesn't even jump half the time but if he's vaguely close to a player they just miss layups.

Respect to the Celtics. That was impressive.

(as a Sixers fan, this is something that - at the DNA level - is very difficult to do)

Jrue 5-22 and a -23 for the game. He is their 2nd most important player but if I'm Bud I have to rethink his second option role on offense. That super green light he had looked brutal today

It looked very similar to game 3. Giannis gassed, and Tatum looking much better. I didn't know if the Celtics were going to win it, but I thought it was going to be close. Celtics outplayed Bucks 3 games in a row IMO

Tatum with 30/13/5.. ended up 11/24 which isn’t great but the Bucks defence is as good as it gets.

He needed to step up in the 4th and he did. Great game.

I think the Celtics figured something out in the 4th. They either put Lopez in the pick and roll and he plays deep in the drop. This either gives Tatum a decent look or Horford a fantastic one.

This forced Lopez to play Horford tight which gave Smart some easy one on one buckets on Allen at the end. Nice adjustment by Ime.

Both teams capable of stealing a game on the road so this is still a toss up. Picking the Celts in 7.
