Boston choked the fukk outta this game...
Championship mettle by the Bucks, down all game and fought back. First of all, you can only keep great players down for so long. Boston fukked up Giannis' efficiency the first couple games buy great ones figure it out. Giannis completely changes the complexion of what Boston can do, he gets your best defenders in foul trouble or just abuses them, he won the 1v1 with Horford tonight. Just an amazing game from him...
Boston exhausted themselves the first three quarters, while clearly Milwaukee knows how to pace themselves and they aren't frazzled being down double digits multiple times. They are simply tougher than Boston, they kill em on the boards on both sides, push the pace, exceed their physicality, and stick with their gameplan...
On to Tatum: somebody tell this nikka to stop spamming fukking 3s. He's reverting back to taking bad shots and forcing his shot, and its hurting the Celtics. The longer this series wears on its exposing the room for growth Tatum still has to make. To me he was one of their worst players tonight, Theis was great in his minutes, Prichard was great in his, Brown was mostly great, Smart was great until the last couple minutes...Tatum's bad shot selection fukking hurt them, and as important is his inability to stop the fukking bleeding when the Bucks were chopping em down...
The C's aren't solid enough to win two games in a row in this series, it's over. If they win Friday they lose G7, but they probably get bounced on Friday. Brown and Smart can both run hit and cold, if Williams is in foul trouble you're in trouble, Horford reverted back to the mean tonight---->he ain't giving you 28-30 every game and we know it, and the task of defending Giannis is wearing on him too, Giannis just younger and stronger abd more durable...
C's almost had me fooled. But the Bucks certainly have me impressed. This was tenacious basketball on both sides for them...
