And likely should be….probably helps Giannis has missed half this series

Is Smart-Butler-Tatum-Hayward-Horford a championship core in an alternate universe?!

Man how much do I want to see the lakers lose now this is what I would call an extreme basketball high

I mean it took a 50 piece from Jimmy to beat the Bucks. I don't really see him doing that again in this series. Bucks are still in it for sure.

Jimmy is pretty fun to watch when he's not playing the Celts.

Jimmy Buckets went nuclear.

Wow…a BIG hole for Bucks.

Hahahahahaha I’m so glad we didn’t have to get through Miami first round. I think we would have won in 5/6 but it’s a major grind.

Jimmy Butler gave an all time nuclear performance. But truth is the Box was stupid not to double team him when he was absolutely destroying everyone...

Close out game is always the toughest. I still would rather be up 3-1. Bucks still in it but have no room for error now

Wow this guy may have been onto something, that post was from March 10th.

The series is far, far from over, but the Bucks winning 3 straight at this point would be really tough, and will take a TON out of the tank for a first round series. This is a win/win for Celtics fans.

Will be a hell of a hole to dig out of. Think this goes 7 now but Bucks win or lose, I’m happy that’s currently their best case scenario.

Praying we take care of games 5 and 1, but the prospect of home court through the finals is worth salivating over.

The Butler did it ! He’s a dawggg

The Greek freak may or may not be the best player in the world today. But the truth is I think his defense is so overrated. Yes he is good.. But if you want to be called a great 2 way player how is it he never guarfs the other teams hottest player

Looking back at what Kevin Durant did and now what Jimmy Butler did.. The Greek freak was nowhere to be found on defense..

What is my point maybe Tatum truly is the best 2 way player in the league...

Mentally weak Bucks.

Celtics are just a bad matchup for the bucks. I know what butler did is something I don’t expect to see anyone doing in these playoffs but it just goes to show you how much trouble the bucks have defending wings and the Celtics got 2 of the best and have shown to dominate as of late against them.

Thats why I didn't want miami. They just aren't that good, but my gawd can they make a team try harder than they should have to
