BUCKLE DOWN AND GET IT
One day Leon Powe and I were cracking up on Eddie House’s tattoo.…[Garnett] was like, ‘C’mon, Scal, it’s time to rock! What the ‘F’ are you doing?’ And I was like, ‘You know what? You’re right. It is time to rock.’ – Brian Scalabrine

Yep. Every Giannis drive on him.

Some might say Celtic fans are salty about losing this game and potentially the series


It’s 1-1.. worry about getting blown out by the corpse of James Harden.


well it looks like I won’t have to worry about the Celtics

This is far from over, feels like Bucks are letting their guard down too early

5 guys for the Bucks have 87 of their 90 points. That's not a winning recipe. Bucks guards need to contribute something.

Brown and Tatum finally got some quality looks/shots.

It really does make a world of difference when you aren't shooting stupid type of shots. This aint a horse game. Degree of difficulty matters none. If you don't have a quality look, create something for a teammate to get a good look.

Giannis didn't step there.. He's had two consecutive mental lapses on defense . Force Tatum to pass once he's blown by.

Both these teams are tough. I just need a certain player to show up down the stretch here and all will be forgiven lol

Grant Williams is one of the most stealthily unsung shot blockers. Dude is considered undersized, but he stuffs people constantly.

Someone needs to tell Giannis that he still has 3 fouls — it’s okay to contest shots at the rim now.

For all of Tatum's misses, the good majority of his shots have been outside the paint. There's something to be said for trusting your shot, and also something to be said for trying something else just to see the ball go in. Whether that's on Tatum or Cs coaches to get him different looks, either way, he has to generate a different kind of shot selection at least than what he's done in the first three Qs.
