@Music City posted:Defense just can’t get out of its own way. Giannis’ issues on offense making the first unit a liability. Throws the whole thing out of balance...
They are much better on offense when they run half court sets through Holiday or Middleton.
Really liking what Holiday brings.
What is Boston shooting, like 70%? They don't seem to miss......
Down 14. Giannis still looking tentative in the half court.

If your whole defensive strategy is to give up open 3s, you can't be surprised when good teams make them.
It's a good thing Giannis signed the SuperMax. It's one game and people will read too much into it, but this is an embarrassing showing. Down 17 and giving up over 100 points in 3 quarters.
Well, this is all on Giannis and Budenholzer. You don’t evolve your game, you don’t play smarter, you don’t adjust your scheme to dictate the game, you get embarrassed. And you’re getting embarrassed.
Bucks give up 35 points in the last 9.5 minutes of the third quarter.
I wonder how much of a hot seat Bud will be on to start this year?
After this, they get the Warriors and the Knicks, but then have two games in Miami. It would only be 5 games, but a 2-3 start would start to get the seat a little warm?
Bucks seem lethargic but they're not giving up!
Going to take a couple games I think with these new rotations.
Well, starting 2-3 is one thing, but if they continue to look like they do tonight some questions need to be asked.
15 turnovers to 5 for the Celtics.
Giannis gets going, they get within 7, and then Giannis picks up his 4th charge.
Good grief... that’s just not smart basketball.
Bucks make a huge comeback to get within 2.
You know why? Tatum is sitting.
Uh oh... Giannis found a rhythm now...
We are sitting here in the chat thinking that Giannis looks really tentative and he's sitting at 32 and 10 with 6 minutes left.
Storming back now
Boston isn’t going to shoot 50% forever
Celtics hit 17 bombs and 50% from 3 and it’s a one possession game
That’s what you gotta have... Giannis in position near the basket.
Nice run, but why is Connaughton playing in crunch time instead of DDV?
@Tschmack posted:Storming back now

If it's Brown and Tatum they will. If it's Theis and Williams, no.
This is the difference- Holiday is a threat and they can’t just let him be. He gets in and finishes around the rim, and allows everyone to move one spot down the line.
Giannis to the turnaround... sweetness.
You post up Giannis for a nice bucket and then he air balls a 3 on the next possession.
RUN AN OFFENSE AND POST HIM UP AGAIN!!!!!
Giannis blows a layup and Boston is now ahead because the Bucks are forced to play Connaughton.
Holiday with a 3!!
What fucking bullshit is that no foul on DDV drive
Good game, but Pat Connaughton being your 6th man is going to be a problem.
Come the fuck on! Slapped across both Dante's arms, how is that NOT a foul?!?!

If it was Giannis, Middleton, Tatum, or Brown they get that call.

He has no business checking Tatum. That’s just stupid...
I don't like an offensive set where Giannis stands in the corner. I don't mind Middleton getting that shot, but Giannis needs to be crashing the boards with 15 seconds left.
Phantom call on Giannis
Fuck Boston
What a fucking lucky shot. Tough to lose on a play like that.
What the fuck was that!?!?
@MNPackman posted:What the fuck was that!?!?
Complete luck.
Celtics horseshoe up their asses
Giannis with 2 FTS?
I have no confidence in Giannis hitting 2 of 2 FTs in this situation.
If you are going to call that foul, you could argue it's goaltending.
They’re going to reverse this...
Giannis with a choke. That second FT wasn't even close.
Of course he misses the goddamn free throw
Someone need to explain to me how Boston didn’t get called with goal tending on that play prior
