Overcame crooked refs

JT was gritty in a difficult second half.

Yes they are. That's what's frustrating about us overdribbling and holding ball too long.

You're bailing out the Bucks defense that way.

The refs really ruined this game for me.

Great win. Grant should get VC.

Brown kicked them off in the 1st half, Tatum helped finish the job, but Grant Williams was consistent on both ends tonight. He will be the next Horford.

Basically, it seems like Ime has 6 guys he wants to play (with Smart hurt), plus he clearly needs to play Pritchard.

Were the injury situation different, he'd clearly need to play Theis.

Hard to argue with any of that except perhaps the Derrick White part.

Who's the PG?
Garbage Time.

there were some people on here hating on white for deferring too much on offense.

where are those people now?

he got the ball in the corner, had a good look at a 3, but he faked the shot, took a dribble towards the basket and kicked it back out to tatum.

hmm, what shot would we rather have - a good look at a 3 by white or a WIDE open 3 by tatum?

Good win. Second half was a little rough. Will be good to get Marcus back for next game. Jaylen will get a couple of days to rest his hammy.

Obviously we need smart badly because of what Derrick white is showing but I thought smart had a terrible game on both ends last game. Hopefully he’s good to go and get back to dpoy smart

Most of the die hard Marcus fans probably thought we didn't have a chance tonight.

When he goes strong he gets called for an offensive foul. Lol

Exactly lol. How does he get called for two charges but Giannis gets to truck people all game?

I don’t think it’s conspiracy stuff like some people complain about, just piss poor consistency. It’s refs making up their mind before the actual play unfolds.

ConstableGeneva · Post #1237 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed May 4, 2022 1:33 am

Much better showing. That 1st half has promise. Defensively can't just surrender switches to Giannis. And clean up that D when he's the screener.

The difference in shot quality between the first and second half is drastic. Less ball and player movement more dribbling in the second half and the score reflects that.

Last couple possession multiple drives and kicks relocations and players moving. It’s no surprise we made shots on the possessions the offense was more flowing.

Main VC candidates:

Jaylen -- huge Q1, a couple of clutch plays late
Grant -- excelled at both ends of the court
"Team" (defense) -- Bucks coming out below 90 points

Excellent team win. Celtics showed a lot of heart and told the world they are in it to win it!

Series tied 1-1. Let’s get 2 in Milwaukee!
