Glad the “Tatum is passing Durant” bs we had to listen to during the crappy Nets series is done…Giannis is the best PLAYER in the world, period.

All that hype for Tatum over the second half of the season will be washed away if he continues to struggle this series.

Losing to the Bucks without Middleton will be a very bad look for the Celtics but Giannis really is special.

Tatum is not built for the big lights

That foul by Horford on Jrue is what he does to Giannis every drive.

Moronic thing to say when he’s historically been a very solid playoff performer

All those championship rings he has. Great playoff performer. As I said once they actually play someone, they lose. No one cares how many first or second round playoff series you are in. Bucks and raptors already went through the phase the Celtics are in.


lol, that's why this is a series
Celtics needed to take care of business at home and failed to so, split the pair

Series goes back to Mil - that's what we should expect, Bucks having that home energy and cookin'
We saw the same yesterday with the return of Embiid to Philly, and Dallas-PHX looking entirely different on the Mavs home floor

this is consistent with what we know from the NBA, HC means a lot that's hardly a new concept :)

The Celtics were never winning two straight games on the Bucks floor, they needed to split the pair too that was their realistic goal

They failed so far, assuming they do lose this - now they'll have to do it with their backs to the wall in game 4, play on :)

This Pritchard bum was hitting step back 3's like Harden against the Nets but can't throw the ball in the ocean in this series. Typical.

He’ll be gunning for MVP next year. No one will care until he does it consistently in the playoffs.

Ok my turn to complain: when someone drives to the basket Horford puts two hands on him every-single-time, and the refs randomly pick 3-4 of those and call it and let all the other ones go. Doesn't make sense.

Tatum is basically a lesser pierce

Pierce always had games like this against the king

Just a complete no show, he needs to pick up KG and RAY in order to win a ring

Tatum isn't a superstar yet.

Media anointed him too soon.

feels like the celtics need to hold the bucks below 100 points to win a game in this series. They can't keep up on offense.

Jrue is stepping up to the challenge with Middleton out. Killing it on both ends.
