I really don’t mind the loss. We got what we need in Boston. Just couldn’t take Stan Van Gundy anymore

The longer this series goes the more it favors the Bucks, especially with all the games every other day now after game 3. I would bet major money the winner of game 3 will win the series.

It definitely does since Giannis is such a maniac that he would run through a wall to win and will keep doing it over and over again.

Yeah, Giannis won't get tired and the Bucks play a style that wears you down over the course of games and Boston already has some guys banged up. Hopefully, the Bucks can with both in Milwaukee to take a 3-1 lead, even if the Celtics pull out game 5, they'll be gassed by game 6 with us being able to close it out at home. If Boston can get game 3 and get the series lead, it swings things in their favor. That's my feel of it right now.

That was embarrassing

It’s like both teams had an agreement to swap roles from game one. Our offence was awful and their D killed us.

I have no idea what to make from this going into game 3. Need to shoot better obv but I’d be pushing the pace wherever possible. Our half court O is really bogged down without Midds.

We knew this wasn’t going to be a cake walk but that was a dispiriting loss to a degree. Not the end of the world but we need some adjustments. Now isn’t the time for stubborn Bud.

I’m usually heated about an hour after a loss and then calm down. We basically lost the game by 6:30 tonight so I’m calm

So, like, whose hands are you putting it then? We have two ballhandlers on the team right now.

Yea it’s no easy answer and I don’t have one either. Giannis cannot keep attacking from beyond the 3pt line though, it does nothing for the offense. Giannis and Jrue need to play more minutes together and need way more Giannis setting screens.

I like the Grayson and Pat as the ball handler on the Giannis screens, I don’t think that should be our main plan but it would be ok in the Giannis/Jrue stagger minutes witch should only be 2 or 3 In game minutes. Some Brook lobs/pick and rolls with Jrue would be nice too.

What we’re doing on offense right now isn’t working and the Giannis straight line drives are sticking out as super inefficient even in game one. Stick him at the elbow and wing and leave the jumpshots and bulldozing in 2019.

Had to miss this one. Seems like I didn't miss much. Still Bucks in six.

This is where no Midds is hurting. We need his playmaking in the half court. If nothing else, it’ll help free Giannis up a bit do work off ball more.

Steger staying calm and poised after a loss, he has that championship experience now.....either that or someone hacked his account.....lol.

That first half was infuriating. Losses aren't fun but they're to be expected but that half was absolutely ****

The last thing I would want to do heading back to Milwaukee with the series tied 1-1 is tell Giannis that he's not Wilt Chamberlain.

Hopefully Ime keeps talking.

Not sure I can take this seriously anymore. Besides brown, they had wide open threes and it seemed like every shot we took had a guy in our face.

The second half, despite tripping over themselves the second it got within 10-12ish, was encouraging. Gianni beasted in the third with 18 points and showed that he can body up Williams and Horford. And the Bucks started actually running more sets, high-screens, getting switches, etc. That first half was WAAAY too casual and iso-heavy. Freak has to be more assertive to start and force them to double sooner, as that is where the passing lanes will open up.

Brook has to get more touches in the offense. The garbage fouls called on him threw him off but there were moments he had a mismatch and Jrue just forgot how to throw an entry pass.

I agree that Allen has to assume some ball-handling duties. He can at least run a high-screen and it'll alleviate a bit of pressure from Jrue and Gianni. Horford/Timelord/Williams will have to respect the guards and that opens up lobs or just side-to-side action. They'll look at the film and see where they had good success in the second half.

Three days feels like an eternity.

Run some action, iso ball just let the Celtics sit other players out in space.

Cutters....

You are clearly wrong. Watch the 1st half highlights. They made 10-12 jumpshots with a hand in their face and the clock at 2-3 seconds. Almost all their points came from jumpshots once again.

They're going to watch the game film and see this game was somehow still winnable when it shouldn't have been, but we had too many mental mistakes and they beat us to every loose ball. Feels like there were 10 opportunities to get it to within 10 in the last quarter and a half and then the whole game changes.

We have, but this time we are missing one of our best players

Who would make us worse defensively if he was playing his usual 30-35 mins.
