All I know is our team put themselves in a position to win up to the last minute. The refs put us out of it. If this is them setting the tone for the East playoffs, well **** them, our margin for error vs. the Bucks just went from minuscule to microscopic.

Dude wants to win and compete, totally understand his frustration and it’s a tough call to make but we just need to be 100% healthy and we have 7 games left to be playoff ready

I'm okay with Brad being soft sometimes but that's because we have Marcus setting the tone. Marcus would have fit right in in the 1980s

Good try but too much to overcome with JT playing awful, Kemba on minutes restriction, Giannis allowed 9 fouls AND no Bledsoe. We'll get em next time.

Sadly it’s gonna be borderline impossible to beat this team in the playoffs when the NBA clearly has a Lakers-Bucks agenda. Just calling a spade a spade.

If Giannis likes Smart's game so much, he should team up with him and sign for the MLE with us.

That Giannis thing really pissed me off. Was that the refs' way of getting back at us for gifting us 25 free throws in the 2nd quarter? Ridiculous.

It’s ridiculous that Giannis clearly fouls Theis and it’s a no call . What BS that was. If they can review for a hostile foul then they should be able to say it was a common foul .

Smart was the best Celtic by a mile. Both offense and defense. I liked Wanamaker's play tonight. He got his hands dirty.
Couldn't agree more with Mark Jackson, who was saying that Theis needs to take some of those open 3s. The Bucks defense is so compact because they know Theis won't shoot.
Saw some calls for Rob Williams in the game thread. If you're expecting to defend Giannis with rim protection, you've already lost. You need cut off his angles to accelerate. If you sag off him and "dare him to shoot", you're giving him the runaway. A tall skinny guy who plays wih a high base and doesn't know how to cut off penetration is just gonna foul him.
The Bucks were guilty of just as much self-inflicted damage and rust as we were. 13-41 from deep, and didn't have Bledsoe or Connaughton. It's going to take more than playing better to beat them.

The game where the Celtics played Dallas where he shot 1-18 could have been worse.

I hope Tomasz includes those questionable calls on Giannis in his highlights videos, because they sure as hell won't be included in the official NBA highlight video

Jaylen didn't shoot that well tonight but he got to the line. Tatum seemed to be throwing it up at people's hands and only got 2 FTA. I think he got a tough whistle too but we need him to embrace contact more. It's strange because his FTA/100 pos is actually slightly higher than Jaylen's. But I'm not sure how many of those are on jump shots vs. drives.

Better to have that game now than in game 7 against the Clippers.

The referees could have called a regular foul on Giannis. They decided it wasn’t a foul. You can’t make this **** up lol anything to protect the star

So refs tell Brad one thing and the media another to cover their ass. Doesn’t get more crooked than that lol

Geeez, 57 pages I likely can't look through.
Didn't see a lot of this game. I also wasn't expecting a win. Glad to hear Kemba has been looking a lot better. Hopefully the knee doesn't flare up again.
Just happy/grateful so far everyone sounds healthy and the bubble seems to be working well in terms of keeping them all safe.
