Down 2-0 to start on a nice Bledsoe fast break pass to Jayson Tatum

Mirotic is a disaster defensively and missed two wide open 3s. That adjustment didn't work.
Down 12-5. The game plan of not having Giannis force shots doesn't work if Mirotic, Middleton, and Bledsoe go 0-4 on wide open looks with 2 turnovers in less than 4 minutes.
Interesting that Connaughton is the next guy in. Not Sterling Brown.
If it's possible, they look worse than Game 1. 4 turnovers and 2-7 from the floor in the first 5 minutes.
Giannis just can't hit anything. It's like someone else has possessed his body.
The Bucks are behind in the first quarter of a game where Kyrie Irving is 0-5 from the floor.
Giannis looks like he did about 4 years ago. Missing layups that he normally makes in his sleep - just very tentative overall.

He hasn't been able to run in 6 weeks. Even if he comes back, it will take him 2-3 weeks to get back into game shape.
Bucks really lucky to be down only 30-25. The only reason it's close is that Kyrie Irving is 0-6.
Now down 7. Looking a lot like Game 1. None of Bud's adjustments have worked so far.
Horford literally put his forearm into Giannis' throat on that drive and they called the foul on Tatum after that.
What is it about playing the Celtics that turns Middleton into Klay Thompson?
Middleton sure loves to play these ****ers eh?
This officiating crew is ridiculously terrible

Both ways. The calls on Bledsoe were both ridiculous. At least one of the calls on Tatum was very questionable. Horford can stick his forearm in Giannis' throat and push him with two hands, but picks up a foul when Ilyasova trips over his foot?
Middleton continues to play at a clutch level in the playoffs. His clutch play going back to last year's playoffs.
Bucks were starting to separate and then Kyrie starts hitting.
The Bucks offense is very disjointed. Middleton has been on fire, but his shots aren't based on smooth ball movement - just Middleton getting hot and hitting shots after holding the ball or isolating.
You'd think the Bucks would adjust to the pick and pop with Horford or Morris at some point. It's like they've never seen the play before.
Great end to the half.
They could probably call a foul on Horford guarding Giannis on every play, yet the only foul Horford has is when Ilyasova fell down with minimal contact (mainly because Irsan is clumsy).
Nice push to end the half
Now come out after half and bury these ****ers
Who hit the 3 to end the half?
Nice finish to the half!
Outside of that stretch of missed 3 pointers, I feel like the Bucks are so much more competitive than Game 1.
It's on.

I think it was George Hill (know it's jersey #3).
Boston is putting on a clinic on how to defend Giannis.

Giannis is still tentative in general. They've got him overthinking everything.
Shaq was absolutely right- Giannis forcing it into 3 guys all the time is not helping an offense that’s really out of sorts...
Mirotic ripped Horford's arm off with no call. At least they are consistent since they haven't given Giannis that call all night.
