We need one of the next 2, but it would be really nice to get one tonight.
Just read today that Middleton is the top 3 point percentage shooter in NBA playoff history (with over 100 attempts).

I give Middleton props and he has two turnovers in the first 40 seconds.
Bledsoe 1-6 to start, but has been attacking and putting pressure on the defense. Just needs to kick out more.
Very glad this isn't the old garden. That place was a house of horrors for the Bucks.
Kyrie is going to go for about 40 tonight. Doesn't mean the Celtics are automatically going to win, but it makes it a lot tougher.
Bledsoe with an idiotic end to a terrible quarter. 2-8 from the floor and a foul with 0.1 seconds left to give up 3 free throws to Kyrie Irving (who was going sideways 28 feet away and had no chance). Just a really stupid play. He probably cost them about 7 points that quarter relative to if he'd have just played at an average level.
Bledsoe with 3 fouls 14 minutes and just some generally terrible play. He's been awful.
Having to play Tony Snell right now is a really big problem. Bledsoe's awful decisions and play have really caused a big problem.
A game where Giannis is starting to roll has turned into having to play uphill the whole game.
Bledsoe needs to get his head out of his ass
He’s the sole reason they aren’t at least tied or leading
They need do get Brogdon back
Bledsoe has played like two good games out of seven or eight against these guys

Without Brogdon, they are need him to at least be adequate. He was awful in Game 1, great in Game 2, and just awful tonight. He's now 2-10 with a turnover and the Bucks are now about to get run out of the gym.
Bledsoe singlehandedly killing them in this game
This is ****ing terrible basketball. Bledsoe is terrible.
So in now the 10th playoff game v Boston the last two years Bledsoe has had what, one decent game? ****ing ridiculous
Luckily, Pat Connaughton is playing a like a superstar right now.
Bledsoe even plays an average game they are up
Back to 5. They are very lucky this didn't get away from them. If I was a Celtics fan I'd be worried that we didn't bury the Bucks when they had the chance.
I've seen Horford commit 5 fouls in the first half. He's been called for 1.
Welcome to the Boston Garden
Just keep giving Connaughton open looks.
Down by only 1 at half. Nice recovery.
Brogdon is definitely still out tonight?
It’s a miracle they are down 1 with as bad as Bledsoe has played
Boston shot extremely well from 3 (10-23) and they are only up 1.
The Bucks 2nd and 3rd best players, Middleton and Bledsoe, were 4-16 from the field and 1-7 from 3 with 4 turnovers. And the Bucks are only down 1.
I feel pretty good right now.
Wait. What? Al Horford can commit a foul? I din't think that was possible.
The GE logo on the uniform is really stupid looking.
They called that weak ass charge? That was a huge call. It's Giannis' third.
I am gametracking. Oh my gosh - 8 straight points!!!
Bucks by 11!
Lotta basketball to play still. This game is FAR from over.
Celtics timeout. Big stretch coming up here. Up 11 with 2 minutes left in the quarter. Here's where they either bury them or let them have a run to get back in it.
Damn it. Irsan just cost them 4 points. Misses an uncontested bunny and then immediately fouls Jaylen Brown. From up 12 to up 8 in 2 seconds.
