That one drive where Horford blocked Giannis twice in 2 seconds was the best Horford moment all year. He's had a down year, but made up for it in this game. |

Wow, a dominant road win against the #1 seed in the east. Things have changed. Celtics are like the 2018 Red Sox bullpen.

Well the Bucks just tossed home court advantage away. It's all about the D! Play tough D and we can win against anyone.
Was Smart injury a blessing? Like am I the only one wondering what happens when he comes back?

Like am I the only one wondering what happens when he comes back? The D on the freak was unbelievable Horford really stepped up. Gordon is becoming Gordon at the right time. Get what you are saying about Smart with the rotation and all but I just don't see how adding him back into the mix can hurt with his nack for making big plays, especially on D. |

Get what you are saying about Smart with the rotation and all but I just don't see how adding him back into the mix can hurt with his nack for making big plays, especially on D. All season we've struggled with lineups and fit. Brown was discarded away rather quickly and now has his rightful place starting. He's been huge, big part of that is minutes and him starting. Hayward and Rozier have been huge off the bench. It's much more the minute crunch and playing time issues than Smart. How it could change Chemistry, which we saw happen all season long as injuries happened and guys went in and out of the lineup. I love the mix of offense and defense right now. I've yet to say man if only we had Smart to guard this guy and improve our D. He's coming back at some point if we keep winning, but it scares me. This year has kinda proven too much talent is always a good thing. |

I’ve never seen a player get a kinder whistle than Giannis, and I’ve watched LeBron’s entire prime.

I despise Tatum’s shot selection. He should try to actually improve his game this offseason.

Would be awesome if the Celtics can steal this one, but I don't expect them to.

I can live with Kyrie shooting like ass, but that push he did on Hill that was called a foul was just plain bad basketball.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Tatum ride the bench to start the second half. He’s been a putrid basketball player this series.

I wouldn't mind if the Bucks could miss a three point shot.

Such bad shot selection after the Celtics got back within 3, but that stuff is rewarded by Stevens so they’re gonna keep taking them.

Kyrie is gonna get all the blame after this one, much of which is deserved, but Tatum deserves just as much heat. He’s been a complete zero in both games so far.
Also nice to see the halftime adjustments by Brad. If his game plan ain’t working, he just folds up.

What a Jekyll and Hyde team. So weird. But the Bucks are legit. Lets see how they adjust in Boston.

Bucks go on a 24-2 run while Brad sits on his hands.
What a joke.

This one is not on Stevens, the players just haven't been following the gameplan since somewhere around the middle of the second quarter. I'm sure he tried to get them back to what worked, but it's hard to do that when Hayward and especially Kyrie have been so terrible. If anyone is to blame for this game, it has to be Kyrie. I don't remember him taking a single good shot. |

There isn't much you can do when they go 18-39 from 3.
