Giannis has a GOAT motor but he's looking worn down.

Is this Celts defense more impressive than the 08 version given how much harder it is to play defense today?

another blown point blank layup by giannis leads directly to another grant williams 3, who is now leading the game in scoring.

giannis cannot buy a bucket to save his life (and really hasnt done much offensively since the monster 1st quarter IMO). this is one of those games where u really miss middleton like falco said

Celtic’s offense just consists of so much ISO ball where no one else is even really moving. But that defense is ridiculous, to the point where they can survive those offensive droughts. Can’t wait to see them match up against Miami.

I don't think Bucks defense has been good at all in today's game. Williams was shooting open corner 3s like target practice from slow close outs. I know you have a philosophy and all but at some point you have to make an adjustment.

i expect he'll return at some point but probably not g1.

i do not think they'll try to rush him back at all considering they looked better in R2 without him than with a <100% lowry

I'm not sure they get past Miami. I think the Bucks would have won this series pretty easily with Middleton.

Bet ur gonna jynx it lol


haha i mean i still agree with the celtics being favorites.. just feel like giannis is gonna get his 40 points and make it a close game and it'll just come down to whether the supporting cast steps up

This was a good game to bet in. Margin of victory was strongly in Boston's favor this series outside of game 1. They're the better team than the Bucks w/o Middleton.


Now it's time for TIME LORD to redeem himself. 8-)

Highly impressed with Tatum's kick outs. He used to have a tendency of trying to force it but he's made the simple play again and again the last two games.
