This whole series so far…we are without our #2 player and still up 2-1 and most likely to be 3-1. And Middleton plays the best against the Celtics too and we are still up.


Last I checked there is over 3 quarters left in this game….


It’s over my friend. Unless the Celtics do exactly what the coach says and flop more, only chance they have.

You should leave because you’re an effing idiot

Ok that's getting you a brief ban so you can stop attacking a baiting for a minute.

Damn a loss and a ban in one day. Tough day at the office for this guy

Celtics wrapped up the series tonight would be shocked to see the Bucks keep Game 5 within single digits. Jrue is just a terrible PG Bucks need a real PG to distribute and run offense. It’s basically Giannis vs the 2nd-5th best players in the series. Hard to win like that hats off to Boston I’ll be rooting like hell against you in the conference finals nothing personal haha.

This series shows the importance of Khris Middleton.

Giannis used up all his juice in the 3rd, completely gassed in the 4th.

Once Giannis tired, there was no one to pick up the slack. Jrue provided very little good on offense.

This is about the 4th post I've seen from Bucks fans saying this.

As a Celtic fan, this series ain't even close to being over.

Bucks still have the best player in the series. I think the home court helps us, but I'm in no way thinking this is done.

I thought the Bucks had that one in the bag, wow. This one may end up going 7.

I don't believe it's over. Its now a three game series.
I had us in 6 before the series (mostly due to Middleton) so I'll stick with that, but it's smelling like a game 7 decider in Boston to me...

The Bucks aren't done, but the longer the series goes, the more significant the Middleton loss is because I feel like if the defences are equal that the Celtics have an advantage in shot creation and making. The Celtics also have the more consistent ball and player movement, which might give them a slight edge.

Thing is...if it goes 7, Khris might play.

He's already been ruled out for the series. The last I heard he wouldn't even for sure play next series if they advance.

Nope. Bud said "we'll see" about 5-7.

Giannis teased a camerashot of him shooting treys with the iced leg.

This could be the turning point of the series and it will be really unfortunate for the Bucks if it’s because Horford turned into a prime Dirk Nowitzki. That is stuff you just can’t game plan for.

Tatum and Smart were also brilliant in the 4th. Excellent execution with a healthy dose of unsustainable shooting from them. They deserved this win tonight.

Yeah I’m a huge Jrue fan but unfortunately for him, these 5-22 games appear far too often in the playoffs. Last year he had two series where he shot poorly from the field.

The great part about Jrue and other excellent defenders is at least you know their defense will always be there.

Wes Matthews alluded to the problem post game. They did this two games in a row. Blowing leads.

Hill can't get switched onto Tatum.

Bucks need to move the ball on every possession. Smart plays, high percentage shots.

Holiday sucks, giving an old PG 40 million a year is going to haunt the Bucks
Bucks tricked me into being a diehard in 2001, LeBron is the 2nd best player ever, and pizza is awesome.

Holiday is why Milwaukee are champs. No way they win with Bledsoe

Sucks to the tune of holding opposing players to lowest percentage in the playoffs. Nope. He's just playing the wrong offensive role right now.
