Celtics really only have to split in Milwaukee to regain home court advantage.

I'm sure smart will be back. I'm less concerned about him than Brown. Browns hamstring is a concern at least in my opinion because hamstrings don't normally get better unless you rest.

It should be all hands on deck and the Celtics need White to score once in a while as well.

I simply don’t understand how the league allows Giannis to get away with his O fouls & travels.
They have no integrity.

Wonder if they're getting Foster again for Game 3. The NBA has handed down the directive to get Giannis to the line as much as possible

We are a strong road team, time to take the lead in this series! The Bucks will have to adjust defensively, they can't keep leaving the three point line wide open.... Bring that D, limit turnovers and I like our chances! Celts in 6 boom

Foster needs to be fired.

At least it's not a 1:00 start, which would basically be a guaranteed loss for the C's.

In this instance, Cobra’s quad & JB’s hammy say thanks very much.

Read on Twitter

I still feel awful about dropping game 1 that I feel the need for the team to respond the same way or even fiercer three more times.

I don't really understand it either and why there's 5-hour gap between the games.

They could have started the Celtics game at 5:30 and kept the warriors playing at 8:30.

Yeah I couldn't agree more. If this game is Thursday who knows if smart can play and how JB's hamstring is. This break definitely benefits the Celtics.

I am happy the team has 3 days this time/

Gets a little rest to soothe the aches, get a practice in, get some shooting done.


Come out and take this next one in Milwaukee. Just play Celtics basketball.

Horrific game time start for a Saturday. There are only 2 games on and they're spaced 5 hours apart. Just stupid, ABC.
