Eastern Conference | Round 2 | (2) Boston Celtics VS. (3) Milwaukee Bucks (TIED 2-2)

[Antinomy]

Celtics have got back into this game with about 10 touch fouls called in favor of them, yet all I keep seeing is whining about Giannis.

Bucks total fouls 11…

Come on bro. Which one was the touch foul? Give me one example

Bucks have 3 starters in foul trouble & Boston shot 15 FTs in that quarter.

Hill got called for a foul for having a hand on Brown.

Connaughton got one for touching White on a drive — something that happens to Giannis on every possession, etc.

For gods sake, it’s not complicated.

I'm neutral, it's two truly elite defenses playing going at it, it's enjoyable to me because of how high level this is. Especially when you hear about how current era teams can't D up.

Yeah I thought I'd enjoy it too, after those 3 games I'm kinda regretting it TBH LOL
It's a hard watch man, there's someone on the floor every second play, nobody can really shoot and everybody's talking about the refs all the time instead of the players

As a fan of a team in the game it's pretty stressful for you, as an outside / neutral party watching you two slug it out on defense it's like this for me

Yeah as a neutral fan this is super enjoyable. We're not all fiending for 150-145 games. Defense is an art to be appreciated too.

[KIRAG]

Jayson has been really good on defense but he has to step the **** up on offense. He has too many damn halves where he looks like Pandemic P out there

Brown has been the best player for them these past 2 games

[jfs1000d]

Boston leads in both free throws and fouls drawn - refs heavily favor Bucks. Got it.

I don't think they've been favoring the Bucks. Good and bad calls on both ends imo.

It's just been Giannis related stuff that's bugged me. Missed obvious goaltend, missed fouls, and then they actually called one when he fouled but gave the foul to someone else lol.

On balance it's fine I guess. Just gets frustrating to watch in real time.

Game about even. But Giannis got 20, and has already fouled out lol.

Judging by this thread, if a Celtics fan hints at it being fine in balance... .

So much whining

The foul called on Pat Connaughton near the end of the half lol. Given how physical Boston has been defensively a call like that is...something.

Azcatz11, my friend, what toppings are on your pizza?

No toppings - extra cheese. I appreciate you asking that question

Which call though? Be specific. Surely you can name one if they were so bad?

Red panda lady with the unicycle, every time I'm like why am I watching this, and every time I watch it again religiously LOL

That last foul on Giannis was Grant selling it pretty hard. But they also gave one to George Hill that was clearly on him.

Swings and roundabouts. Think it's been about even. It's just more obvious when it's the studs who are getting away with stuff.

[theFireBlanket]

How is it possible for a team to shoot that bad around Giannis? Zero space for him to work. Two games in a row we refuse to make jumpshots.

3-18 in the previous game
3-18 in the first half so far.

Giannis helped create the problem in game 2. Has to pass outlets more than he is, play off the ball & encourage ball movement.

He wasn’t still.. moving side to side and completely bumped White.

He hit him in the head. You grant sold it but it was a foul. You’re also right they have his foul to Hill so technically he should have 4.

If you aren't into whining stop whining about other people whining. It's not adding anything better to the thread than those of us who are whining lol.

Read on Twitter

at what point is it playing hard or just playing like a dumb ****?

What game are you watching? Show me one foul that shouldn't have been called on the Bucks. The reason the Celtics are ahooting that much FTs is because the Bucks keep fouling them.

[Infinite Llamas]

Let’s see. Missed goaltending. Push on Allen. That Lopez and one was as soft as any other calls. Bucks fans can’t complain too much here I don’t think

Sounds like the defense on...every single Giannis drive ever this series.

True , I think the best Bucks we’ll
see if they put up against the wall , like last year against Nets 0-2 or Suns 0-2 ,they take Boston lightly so far
