Celtics are half a game ahead of the Bucks, in the East. This will be a tough battle for the Bucks. Tatum vs Giannis always interesting to watch.
Replies sorted oldest to newest
Bucks start with Giannis, Connaughton, Lopez, Holiday and Allen.
Celtics start with Tatum , Horford, Smart, White and Brown.
Well here we go again. Another team that cant miss from 3 against the Bucks
Back to back 3s, by Brown and Tatum has Budenholzer using a time out, early.
Boston out shooting Milwaukee. 19-27, Boston, 3:51 left in the 1st quarter.
Portis, Matthews, Ingles and Carter in for Milwaukee.
Of course Celtics get a Bucks team that isnβt full strength
28-36 at the end of 1. Huge 3 pointer by Hauser with time running out. BS call on Giannis before that, on Brogdan. Brogdan held Giannis, but Giannis gets the foul.
Nice play by Portis, inside, for 2.
Brodgon is a fucking pussy what a BS call
Houser puts up a prayer of course it goes in
Goddamn I hate Boston
And fuck you Malika Andrews you suck
T foul on Milwaukee. Portis hit Grant Williams in the back. Refs looking for a hostile act. Physical taunt Technical assessed to Portis.
Stupid ass refs
Grant Williams is such a punk
Connaughton with a 3, hits the deck. No foul.
Refs obviously want Boston in this one some stupid fouls called already. Bucks need to hang in there and get it at the end.
Grant Williams plays like a bitch
Giannis missing badly from 3 point range, early in the clock, again.
Giannis canβt be taking dumb shots like that
Ingles has gotten a lot of minutes and contributed essentially nothing.
Good job that Brown is a shitty free throw shooter.
Brown fouled on a 3. Three FTs missed! Celtics lead 62-61 at half time.
@MNPackman posted:Ingles has gotten a lot of minutes and contributed essentially nothing.
He made some FTs, but that's about it.
I hope Malika Andrews eats a huge bag of shit. Sheβs a moronic insider.
Portis with a sloppy pass, commits a foul to add insult to injury. Wake up!
Bucks down 86-100. Does this team need Middleton, or what? End of the 3rd quarter.
It's almost Thanasis and Nwora time.....
Things getting testy on the court.
Middleton has to get healthy
Bucks look like a team at the end of a long road trip the week before Christmas with no break to be home.
T on Giannis.
Bucks down 19 with 3:41 left, in the game. Budenholzer empties the bench.
I don't think they can play Grayson Allen or Ingles in the playoffs.
139-118 Bucks lose.
Boston shot 59% from the field.
Joe Ingles and Grayson Allen are unplayable against the Celtics
Merry Christmas π

Allen was targeted by the Celtics' offense. He has not played good defense against them, ever, that I can remember. Ingles, at least, drained two 3s, in critical spots, to keep the Bucks in the game. Ingles also made two FTs. He put up 11 points against the Celtics. Allen had 8 points. Bucks were 13 of 31 shooting 3s, against the Celtics. Celtics were 19 of 39 from 3.
Iβm willing to cut Ingles a little more slack given his injury situation, but again, if the Bucks play the Celtics in the postseason you canβt play the guy.
Itβs a tough situation for Milwaukee because heβs a solid regular season guy, but if you could make a trade to get another big that can shoot and defend or a 3 and D guy I think you need to make that move. Boston is the one team that matches up well because they can throw several bigs at Giannis and obviously Tatum and Brown are really good.
