Game Thread – Celtics @ Bucks – Thurs. 7:30PM, Jan. 11, 2024

I’m not even that mad about some of the misses.

It was the decision making during that 25-0 run which was flat out frightening.

It started with avoiding Tatum for the last 3 minutes of the quarter. Then in the second he gets completely ignored, the offence turns into Holiday and Pritchard jacking garbage shots and we don’t score for half a quarter.

The Bucks defence was awful and they were not playing good defence and somehow we don’t move the ball, we jack awful shots and freeze out our best player.

There is one player on this team who plays with less effort almost every night than everyone else.

Cs will face the Bucks again in March and April.

So just let the Jays and KP pad their stats and start focusing on Houston.

Would be a shame if Ime Udoka is the one who breaks the 18-game home winning streak.

Knowing how the basketball Gods work, I'm thinking that's what will happen.

Chose the perfect game to be on a plane lol. Streamed the 1Q on **** plane wifi, not even bothered to watch the rest

Big win vs the Wolves in OT last night. They're just not into this. Maybe we'll see fight in the 4th

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

Majority of lead is variance in 3pt %. Most of our shots have been good enough but just not hitting them.

Defense needs to pick up.

Start the 3rd well and go from there, most likely a loss but in all honesty I prefer to prioritise the win over Tmverwolves.

Guys, just forget about this game. It's a fluke. Our guys don't have anything left in the tank from last night...thank you NBA for scheduling this back to back. Bucks playing against no one tonight. Joe should just sit the starters. He must be delusional if he thinks our guys have the energy for a 30 point come back. Sit them and avoid injuries. Who cares if this is a nationally televise game...NBA **** up and let them have the low rating for this one.

Not before the usual bad 3rd quarter though. This deficit will probably get to 50.

[Lee Van Cleef]

B2B games should be home games only. And 82 regular season games are simply too many.

No need to insult Pritchard.

Yea, if there was a chance to change this b2b then the NBA should've done it. Cs not even trying tonight

Agreed. Wolves win was important for the 18 straight home wins. This game is a fluke.

I don’t even get why we are paying. Our guys? Just sit them out. Start russet, Hauser in second half and sit Tatum/Brown. Those guys are exhausted .

Should've just rested all of our guys if we were never planning on trying tonight

Easy excuse to go to when you get handed your ass!
I understand being down 15 or 20 because you are tired but down 40 is embarrassing and no excuse for that!

Still have a chance to go all bench in the 2nd half and I'm down for that!

Also for any potential home court in Finals should us and them make it…Bucks were further behind than Wolves.

[Celts17Pride]

By the way, watching Giannis do whatever he wants in the paint tonight with ease shows you how important Al Horford is to the Celtics in case there are still any doubters left in this forum

[ConstableGeneva]

Celtics did much, much better when they sat all the starters late last season. It was just White, Muscala, Hauser, etc.

[jfs1000d]

This is a game to get Svyi, Hauser, and any end of bench guys some run. I don’t understand why Bantu. And Stevens arent playing .
