PG Celtics - 4th Quarter Fade

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

As good as Giannis is, he is dumb af. Dame and Khris, when he shakes off the rust, need to be the closers.

giannis shot was stupid...but wide open and at least had a chance. dames two attempts, heavily contested.... were the kind of thing you see at the end of qtrs like the clocks on zero

[RogerMurdock]

Summary of the game:

Dame blows past a Celtic defender for an easy open lane to the basket. Doris Burke and Richard Jefferson: "Look at that...that's just terrible defense by Milwaukee. That can't happen. No help defense."

[CharityStripe34]

Man, he played a great game, but Giannis' 3FGA was absolutely brutal.

I do not think this was a good Giannis game, like at all

I am admittedly distracted, so can definitely stand corrected. He looked great when I was really tuned-in.

In either case, that three was horrendous.

Played a fine game but both he and Dame had 2-3 wasted possessions down the stretch which hurt.

One assist, Giannis. That's not gonna get it done.

They're playing him straight up and have versatile defenders at every spot, they're no windows.

With that coverage Giannis either has to crush Horford or they have to get a switch without wasting 10 seconds of the shot clock.

Agree. That just tells me our sets aren't great.

Set some off-ball screens. Some back screens. Move without the ball. Swing the ball. Etc.

[ShootingtheJ]

Whenever a team makes Dame play defense, he can't make a shot down the stretch.

What's with this weird ass agenda Not sure what more you can ask of Dame tonight. Sounds like you just will dump on him if the Bucks take an L and tuck tail if they win

So your cool with the Celtics scoring on him everytime, and not drawing rim down the stretch? That's sounds like a weird agenda.

[Ruben Quevedo]

Late game execution terrible obviously but big picture you’re not beating the Celtics if you let them shoot 24 more 3’s, with most of them wide open off a single pass. Meanwhile our offense is 1v1 with no off ball movement and no actions to try and generate any advantage.

Do not be fooled by the score, this isn’t remotely close. Long season but this is the same story we’ve seen for the last 4 years against Boston.

[ILC]

They made a conscious effort to slow the game down, but I think Giannis took it too seriously. I hate taking shots you can get at any point early in the clock and he had like 10 of those tonight, culminating in one of the dumbest shots I've ever seen a non-shooter take.

Overall a good game, competitive vs the champs in their house, but too slow in the second half especially and too many bad shots compounded with so many bunnies missed in the first half.

Play like this with KM back next 12 games should see 10 easy wins. 21-13 would be a blessing after that awful start

[crkone]

we need somebody on this roster capable of f bombing these guys in the lockerroom for that 3 stooges routine at the end.

i literally think thats the main thing thats either there with a couple dogs on the roster or this crap if there isnt

In your eyes anytime the Bucks get scored on its the fault of Dame. Anything offensively will not help your point as always

[yannisk]

the main difference between the two teams is that is very easy for them to get mismatches

if Brown for example get with Lopez or Lillard it is a mismatch

while however they switch they will offer a competent defense since Jrue and White can defend bigger players and their forwards can defend guards (and Horford can defend Giannis in single coverage)

[blazza18]

Brook played 38 mins?

Yeah not great that he played that much and Dre played 12. In reality those need to be swapped around I think but Brook is still too valuable and Dre is still too inconsistent.

Correct. Having Giannis attack Horford 1v1 in the half court without any actions to get him on the move or create an advantage is just stupid basketball.

[brewbucks]

Giannis will never learn

Giannis fault that Dame could even draw rim on multiple 3s at crunch time while he got crushed on the other end?

Giannis killed the entire momentum with the three attempt.

[Ron Swanson]

Absolute worst time to take that shot and it was unfortunately the back breaker. This is why we brought in Dame and Giannis needs to understand that in clutch games. Enough with the hero ball jump shot ****.

[SupremeHustle]

Sucks to admit that they have no shot against Boston in a 7 game series

I came out of this one thinking the opposite. It'll be bully ball but if Doc plays the right dudes we can beat them.

I still think Boston will win it all, but if they see a healthy Bucks team, they'll have to play hard as hell to win.

Your wrong good god they lost by 4 6 n 5 points with midds missing 2 of the 3 n playing only 15 mins tonight.Once midds gets bavk in that starting lineup this team will be tough.They can beat boston

[MiltownMadness]

Brook with the -14 in 38 minutes. He should not be playing vs. Boston, they hunt him in switches. Pretty obvious

[ShootingtheJ]

Dame closed selfishly tonight, and choked badly.

Yeah I think Giannis will own them in a 7 game series. Khris Celtics killer thing is real as well. It should go 7 if they are healthy

[trublu]

The ref's set up the clutch situation, and we couldn't execute when it mattered.

Some brain dead basketball in the last four minutes, too much hero ball. But I thought we looked like contenders for the other 44.

Great to have Khris back looking good to go. He'll be key for us when he gets a few more games under the belt.

Dame was great until some late game fades.

Happy with Giannis. The Celtic always give him fits, but he usually finds a way. Just not when it matters at the end of close games.

Outside of Bobby's offence, the supporting cast did well.
