I learned 2 things this game

Giannis is true MVP

Never bet your mortgage money on Tatum :banghead:

Boston had so many chances there, terrible shooting just bit them in the but.

I think they have to at least give the choice to the team get fouled to not take the FTs and keep possession if they want to. I so much dislike seeing a team getting disadvantaged like that because of a foul.

I'm not too familiar with the rules, but wasn't that a lane violation by Smart? He crossed the line before the ball hit the rim. It hit the backboard first and Smart's momentum had already carried him past the FT line before it hit the rim.

Gonna have to not let this loss affect them and bounce back in game 4. Letting Milwaukee take game 1 like that bites. Gotta be better.

I still have Boston winning this series but I did not expect Boston to be in this kind of predicament.

I knew the game was over when Tatum had Connaughton on him 1 on 1 with Connaughton spun around facing the basket and Tatum didn't even look to make a move. Instantly looked to pass. Can't have your #1 guy being that shook during winning time on the road.

Only Celtic fans can get double the free throw attempts and still be whining all game thread about the refs.

Unbearable.

Great win by the Bucks, & shoutouts to Horford, just such a great player. Got traded around a lot but he’s back where he’s needed.

Imagine missing a parlay on Smart scoring 10 points and watching him intentionally miss that last free throw. I'm gonna be sick.

Because if players were actually shooting threes like that the average 3pt efficiency in the league would be 2%.
You gotta be convincing that you're shooting in a natural motion to get a foul, not flicking it because you heard a whistle.

There was 5 seconds left in the game. He was clearly shooting.

Tatum was horrible but refs decided this one. That's a shooting foul every time

Jayson had one of the worst games of alltime but it was still winnable if Udoka went with White over Smart to close
