The Celtics are simply beating a far worse team than them, even with all the injuries. It is what it is. No it isn't. They lost their two top players and a lot of important ones. Most teams in the league won't beat anyone in a series without those guys. |

Most teams in the league won't beat anyone in a series without those guys. The Celtics still have 2 top 5 picks after that and a max player beyond those two players. The Celtics were really deep going into the season and we all knew that. |

Pedro you said the season was over after Kyrie went down. Now there playing like the same team without him, Smart and Theis and they don't deserve credit? They are up 2-0 against a team almost all expects expected to win the series.
They are beating the Bucks because the young guys have stepped up, which is why they deserve credit.

The season most likely is over next series.
The Bucks wouldn't even be a playoff team if they were in the West. Any team from the West could easily beat the Bucks right now. The level of competition isn't good. That is my point.
Get back to me in the Philly series.
The Celtics were deep beyond Theis, Smart, Kyrie, and Hayward. Danny Ainge was a rockstar this past off-season.

Also, are you arguing they are good or not because you’re contradicting yourself. |

The Bucks are playing tighter defense and the Celtics are getting baited into playing more one-on-one hero ball. Too many drives into the teeth of the defense and trying to go up with it rather than drive-and-kick.

It's all about talent at that point. Most teams shorten their bench in fact. |

You cannot be any softer on defense than the Celtics we’re in that first half.

I'm not one to harp on the Refs,because usually it evens out. Yet the Refs let the Bucks play crazy physical in the first half. It wasn't till the second half where they started calling the fouls and letting the Bucks know that has to stop. The non-call on Bledsoe for pushing Horford to the floor was a joke. Then the Refs called an offensive foul on Horford because he was complaining. Some people might think Dellavedova played good D, but he committed a foul like 3-4 times each time he was guarding someone. It's the first time I've ever seen a guard repeatedly chest bump players driving and keep getting away with it. Rozier certainly didn't have a great game, but even Irving would have struggled in that game. Everytime someone entered the paint 3 players mugged them. Then Bam second half they don't allow that and the Celtics offense looks normal again. Is Tommy OK? I almost throw my phone at the TV, I'm worried that Tommy might have had a heart attack after that first half.
Pedro I think this proves what we've all been trying to tell you. The Bucks aren't some horrible team. The first two games were the Celtics just playing great Basketball.

It's not a surprise that the Bucks won a game against the Celtics at home. The Celtics will win this series or it's a complete fail.
I'll stand by that. The Celtics are the better team with or without their best 2 players.

Lol, this team can’t get out of its own way. They look like college players with these moronic turnovers.

The refs are blatantly targeting Morris with these Ts. It’s time for the organization to publicly defend him, because this is just corrupt.

This is the softest “great” defense you’ll see.

Stick a fork in this game. Just zero hustle on the defensive end.

Ok we make a crazy run, yet Stevens Subs in Semi, Yabu and Larkin? Why? That is a bad lineup.
