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

[FlyRy]

They really want to make Tatum that guy but he's not

Yet another guy on Jordan Brand is averaging about 40 PPG against the number 1 team in the league

 

[fifth column]

Not a good look for Boston but it’s still likely they win the next two games and game 7

How is it likely?

In shambles @Raquinotj @GOAT @Eric Brooks

i'd only be in shambles if i was a pathetic Nets fan but im not

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Feels like I never see Mattews hit a 3 but he always plays lockdown defense

 

[get these nets]

Lol jrue is not better than lowry at his best
Has never had to lead a team either

fukk outta here

Decision making and steadiness on offense and all time elite level defense puts J-rue the Damager ahead of KL.

That steadiness was on display as the Celtics came back this game. The IMMEDIATE foul at the end was a high IQ defensive play.

These are traits and talents you want your PG to have.

Game 4 is put up or shut up for Tatum. All that talk about wanting to be top 5 and wanting to be MVP, go out there and prove it. Cannot let this team go down 3-1. He let this team down majorly tonight, time to step up to the plate and redeem himself.

And if he can’t do that then maybe he’s just not that guy

 

[Surreal]

The horford put bacc meaningless.. refs should have gave Smart 3 shots but they were against the Celts the whole game anyway

If it comes down to a couple of plays deciding if you win or lose the game, you didn't play well enuff to win in the first place

-GOAT Tom Landry

 

[Big Boss]

celtics need to stay with the gameplan guarding Giannis one on one.


don't even attempt to double team Giannis in game 4

 

[gtj1982]

This is what i'm talking about, more Rip's are needed. Just killing u from the mid-range. But they sat back and launched 3 after 3 lol

Exactly games would be so much better and smoother if players took a few dribbles and shot in the open space between the paint and the three point line. Instead we get a horrible 3pt contest full of bricks.

 

[Ohene]

How is it likely?

Well mikwaukee will only be a 1 pt favourite
And boston will be favored in their home games

thats how…i didnt see anything from milwaukee ti think they will win every game at home

 

[Stone]

Tough loss for Boston that might cost them the series. I know you can say “well Tatum did this or that” but the Bucks have a great defense. Next game it could be Brown having a bad day. Or Horford regress from being ‘14 Horford.

had a chance to steal this one but couldn’t knock those 3s down

and Milwaukee in general just gets better shots at the rim, that’s gonna win out over time

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

Jrue actually average more points then Lowry for the career average, but Lowry played in the east most of his career whole Jrue played in the west. Lowry would never go to a all-star game if he played out west with his numbers.

Did you forget the 4 seasons he played in Philly???

 

[FAH1223]

Celts shot 34 free throws to Milwaukee's 17 ON THE ROAD.

didn’t realize the FT disparity was like that

Jrue took THIRTY (30) shots and got ZERO free throws. That has to be a record for an NBA player

 

[UpAndComing]

No point. These nikkas don't really watch the games. They tune in late, or look at boxscores at best. Tatum has been arguably the best player in the Playoffs through the first round.

95% of the Coli does not watch Celtics games

And it's evident in this thread

 

[Raquinotj]

They never HAD it,tshey could have stolen it at the end but they were down most of the 2nd half....

They were up by one with less than one minute left in the game. You acting like they shot a 3 with 1 second in the game to make it a 2 point game. The last 6 minutes of the game was a tossup.

Go back to Making Pascal Siakam Betted than Tatum threads or start looking at Mock drafts for the NBA 2022 Draft.
