The Buck that Bought the Bottle & the Luck of the Irish Lotto: Celtics vs. Bucks ECSF Thread

[SchoolboyC]

lmfao the refs helped the celtics today it isnt going the other way even more....giannis got hacked 4 times at the rim when it wasnt called...u boston fans man

And how many times did Giannis Derrick Henry his way to the rim and not get called for a charge? He'll be alright

 

[TheFireCar]

Tatum struggled against the size of the bucks

marcus smart isnt jrue holiday fam on defense...no one thinks that outta boston

Dawg I’m gonna put you on mute for this. WTF?

 

[Georgiamuscle]

Celtics made 18 threes and lost by double digits.

Boston fans bring up shooting 33% (locked up by Milwaukee) but Milwaukee shot 41% from the field and made six less threes. They are food word to @Morethan1

marcus smart isnt jrue holiday fam on defense...no one thinks that outta boston

Are you implying that these 2 aren't on the same level defensively?

 

[GunRanger]

This is hilarious

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Celtics made 18 threes and lost by double digits.

Breh.. they made that many because they had 50 attempts They didn't shoot well at all

 

[Drew Wonder]

Giannis is getting the praise, but Brook Lopez is a beast on defense. Think he's the main reason the Celtics shot so many threes.

 

[Jazzy B.]

but breh was 9-25 with 5 turnovers

With 13 rebounds and 12 assists.

KD was 9-23 with 6 turnovers in game 2 and was slandered to death.

That's because KD played passively, Giannis on the other did not instead he set the tone and put in a dominant performance on the defensive end.

The Bucks length and physicality is proving to be a problem for Boston

I agree, the Bucks are simply too big for Celtics. They're not playing 6'1 and 6'2 guys they can blow by anymore. The Bucks will essentially do to them what they did to Brooklyn.

 

[GoldenGlove]

It's easy to fall right into Milwaukee's gameplan.

They give up 3s and limit everything else, Boston going to have hit enough from range to make them play differently. This is where their experience and trust in the system shines. They don't panic or get out of their principles ever.

@GOAT Bucks in 5

 

[T'Challa Trillmonger]

Jrue's defense is scary as fukk

no shot at smart, but jrue shouldve been the 1st guard to win DPOY since the glove imo

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Did Milwaukee start that big lineup vs the Bulls?

I expected to see Portis comin off the bench.

 

[IIVI]

Like I mentioned before everyone wants to talk about wingspan or height when it comes to defense.

However, most scorers: Jordan, Kobe, KD etc. have more difficulty with smaller quick players who can get in their pocket and are strong enough to hold their ground and not get backed down. I think Brown and Tatum are the same.

A player like Jrue Holiday is a nightmare for scorers who have difficulties with those defenders.

A part of me hopes mark Jackson gets a coaching job just so I don't have to listen to him announce
