The Bucks are appearing to be a whole different animal this year, no pun intended. Looking forward to see if Al can keep slowing down Giannis, and we can avoid a Middleton explosion from downtown.I highly doubt we can hold the Bucks to 95 points.
A major factor will be Jaylen's status. No doubt the C's will proceed with caution, but having/not having him available tonight will be very important to the team's success.
Celtics 101, Bucks 95

We're I think 1/2 in defense, so a low-scoring game (by the current wildly distorted standards) seems pretty likely.

That's possibly confounding though - is their offense poorly rated because they're bad at offense, or because they played good defensive teams like us? Especially with small sample sizes it can be hard to tell the difference.

Shaq said Milwaukee by 10..Charles said Celtics win
Great start on both ends of the floor by Hayward
That "foul" they called on Semi is just not a foul

Anyone worried about Tatum's shooting from deep? He has been pretty poor so far this year.Kobe ruined him
How many 3's are we going to take? Go to the basket
Is that Vin Baker on Milwaukee's bench? Good for him.
I really hope trying to emulate Kobe isn't the reason. The mid-range is pretty, but it should be used sparingly, not as the go-to. I'd prefer his shot selection to be like prime Ray Allen'sAnyone worried about Tatum's shooting from deep? He has been pretty poor so far this year.Kobe ruined him

If the league decided to move the 3pt line back, I'd be all for it. Feel like like wvery game is just a 3pt competition.
Bad shots from RozierFancy seeing that
I'm gonna say it: Morris has been the best and most consistent player for the Cs so far this season
My high school coach would have killed us if we played like this. It's a 3 point shooting competition.Cs took 14 3s that quarter. Wowzers.

Our defence has been stellar
Think I maybe jinxed themOur defence has been stellar
16 after 1. Lets see. Work together to limit Gianni's and make someone else beat us.
Kyrie, settle down my man - get an easy one and go from there. Tatum's gonna explode. Carry on my Hayward son.
Tatum has been terrible.

I think he needs to be attacking the rim more but I think that about everyone on the team.
The Baynes 3 shouldn't be a bloody designed shot. It's good to have, but it shouldn't be a legitimate optionOr just shoot more ::)
What has gotten into Morris so far this year? He's been a monster for us.
Outscored 15-5 so far this quarter. OUCH
Nice to see Semi hitting.
Did I just hear Marv Albert give a completely wrong stat about Aron Baynes 3 point shooting?
This Bucks team is really unlikeable. All this crap about them being the best team in the East is trash. Come playoff time they will crash and burnThey've got a lot of soft players. I fondly remember DJ Wilson talking trash from the bench last season as we went on to defeat them
Those last 2 possessions much better with Hayward initiating the play they got good shots off there with Ojeleye and Morris, at least they moved the ball to find the open man instead of taking contested 3s
The Baynes 3 shouldn't be a bloody designed shot. It's good to have, but it shouldn't be a legitimate optionAgree , 2 3s a game is good enough
It's just unbearableNice to see Semi hitting.

Semi once again! He's picking up where Theis left off

Giannis can play out of control and still be skilled enough to recover.It helps that his arms just seem to go forever

Some of his comments in the last 5 min:
- "They made that look way too easy, they overreacted and need to do a better job of closing off those lanes" when DiVincenzo cut to the hoop
- We're not taking good shot attempts, look at that shot by Jayson, that's a tough shot" when Tatum missed a falling fadeaway after getting stuck in the key
- "I'd like to see Gordon initiate the play more often, he's a really good decisionmaker". 1 min later Hayward initiated the play twice, with Semi 3 and Morris 3
- "They need to drive the lane more and kick it out rather than settling for tough 3s" - when the Celtics were spraying it around from the 3pt line

Not only is Kyrie hitting everything, but he's passing really well and even blocking shots. He's been awesome todaygive the man the max and dont look back

He's shooting well, too
Yabusele is worth his paycheck for the dancing from the bench alone.Exactly!

This is probably the most athletic Celtics squad ever.
Kyrie having his crazy handles, big shot ability, AND unselfish passing is just insanehe's rondo with a jumpshot. Slightly worse passer but I like the comparison
Marv Alberts is losing his mind. Called Tatum Jason Terry and he thought that last shot by Irving was a 3 when he was pretty far past the 3 point line.

I'm shouting "Blow the whistle!" and hopefully not disturbing my neighbors.

Agreed. And Middleton might be the worst player of the 4 but he's the best complimentary player.
Baynes does not need to get 3 happy - in addition to the fact that he is shaky from there, it takes him away from offensive rebounding.Probably my only complaint offensively, besides JT being cold

This is such BS officiating. The first half they coached a very even, consistent game, and now it's literally any contact is a foul.
I simply don't understand why they are incapable of calling games consistently from beginning to end.
Wow, they called a travel in the Freak! I'm speechless
The fix is in ::)Cs offense is poop when 3s don't go in.

25-9 on free throws is a little one sided!
should be a rule against 7 footers who are as fast as 6 footersDon't let them dribble ;D
Wowie Zowie Bay-bay!!!!
Dang. We just keep hitting ridiculous threes
That was sweet -- but I think Horford should have taken it to the hole.

Morris is just money.He's showing Terry how contract years are done
Yup, but team playing better since he checked in.That was sweet -- but I think Horford should have taken it to the hole.
agreed
I had the same thought.
My goodness this shooting is insane. Most of these are good looks, too, but mannnn I'm still really uncomfortable with them getting so comfortable jacking up so many threes, regardless how many go in.
But, then again, most of these are coming off of inside-out kick-outs. So we're getting to the rim, and we're just finding better shots on the perimeter after the defense collapses. It's hard to criticize that. It's not like we're simply passing around the perimeter and never getting the ball into the paint.
Morris is just money.He's showing Terry how contract years are done
That would be the meanest bench next to Smart. I'd love itMorris is just money.He's showing Terry how contract years are done
Are The Celtics going to have both Morris's next year?
EFFING SIT ROZIER! Why is his selfish arse out there anyways? Dude is simply playing for money at this point and not playing team ball.Absolutely mystifying
Every time Rozier touches the ball I'm yelling at my TV for him to pass the ball.
It appears that he cannot hear me.
Morris is just money.He's showing Terry how contract years are done
Are The Celtics going to have both Morris's next year?
If the Freak is just going to sit in the paint on every play should they but Robert Williams down there?
How does Giannis not average 40 a game?
Always stunned when Middleton misses a shot because I am still traumatized from his shooting clinic in the first round last year
How does Giannis not average 40 a game?
He have no jumpshot
Giannis can't be stopped. Let Williams foul him .
I mean, he shot like 70% from the field for 7 games. Dude gave me nightmares that seriesAlways stunned when Middleton misses a shot because I am still traumatized from his shooting clinic in the first round last year
I'm still convinced that he shoots worse while uncovered
He certainly can't shoot any better (can he?)
Anddddd that Middleton has returned. Uh ohI mean, he shot like 70% from the field for 7 games. Dude gave me nightmares that seriesAlways stunned when Middleton misses a shot because I am still traumatized from his shooting clinic in the first round last year

Why is Rozier in and Kyrie out?I think Brad called a timeout to remedy that right now

Is it just me or does Terry dribble the ball a lot

Why can’t they just defend the 3? Geeez

i wanna see RW3 swat some greek shots away in his face!
Middleton would be an amazing fit for the 76ers. Hope they don't sign him.He's like a tall mega Reddick who can defend
Good TO. Got to keep scoring -- Bucks look like a team that can't be stopped once rolling. Pretty scary. C's 24-51 from 3 and can't seem to pull away,
STOP SHOOTING 3s
STOP SHOOTING 3s
EFFING KYRIE WITH THE D!!If someone had told me Kyrie would be the one to lock up Middleton in the clutch I would likely have laughed
ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?? THEY LET THAT CONTACT GO ON TATUM AND THEN CALL THAT ON BLEDSOE??
Such incompetence. Simple consistency is just too hard for the zebras.

They've gotta learn how to step on opponents' necks, how to finish off games without blowing it (or almost blowing it).

If we get the two Morris brothers together, that may happen literally.
Who says Kyrie can't play defense!?
By my count, that's at least two big time defensive plays he's made down the stretch here.
The Freak's arms are bigger than his legs....
This is awful basketball by the Celtics win or lose can they do anything accept shoot a 3 or an off balanced junper? Can they execute anything on offense besides shooting 3’s? I understand it’s a different game now and everyone shoots 3’s but my god 54 attempts??? They had Milwaukee down by 15 and continued to jack up 3’s while Milwaukee starting driving the paint. Just so boring to watch the Celtics jack up 3’ every possession create some [dang] offense.If they hadn't been wide open and if we weren't winning this argument might hold. Our offence is designed to shoot threes

Houston chucked themselves out of the series. The C's can easily do the same.
6-2 even though the team hasn't been nearly as good as I think they can be. Nice start to the season.
Big board, Al!!!
The fact we're still getting wins against quality opponents while still having plenty of things to improve on is not a bad thing.

Horford actually allowed Middleton to come around and get position on the baseline on that missed free throw - if the ball bounced the other way, we are tied. Baynes is the one that got us that rebound - he took his guy completely out and allowed Horford to grab the board.
Other than Morris , not great performance from our BWA.

It's not, actually. Shooting a lot of free throws is a key part of their offense (25 per game, 3rd in the league last year). We shot 13 FTs tonight. It really was just us jacking up the first open 3 we got.
Other than Morris , not great performance from our BWA.

Brad needs to sit Rozier down about his apparently selfish, contract-chasing play so far.

No they went up 3-2 by slowing the game down and playing tough hard defense. Then they started chucking 3's again and it cost them. You don't beat GS by trying to outscore them. I just don't like the offense and honestly never have under CBS. Everyone is allowed to take bad shots without consequence.

Yes, Yes and Yes. We are not Golden State - we have good inside scorers and are much better when we drive it or feed the post some. Plus, jacking all these 3's has hurt our offensive rebounding, which was greatly improved last year. Now Stevens has allowed Baynes to think he is a wing. Stevens has to be a tougher coach with his players - and don't tell me we don't know what is said in meetings or practice. It's obvious by shot selection that he is not correcting the bad shot selection. A record shooting night like this game will only make things worse in the long run. Just look what happened late - we couldn't score down the stretch and almost blew an important game.
The fact we're still getting wins against quality opponents while still having plenty of things to improve on is not a bad thing.

More drive-and-kick from TR and KI would help. And a few post-ups by Smart and Horford.
In a way we are cursed by our talent. We get good shots really easily, and guys are shooting it. We need to hit that level where we pass up the good shot for the *great* shot. If we can do that, we will start destroying people.
Other than Morris , not great performance from our BWA.

Exactly - TP for the truth. Everybody gets caught up in a hot shooting night, but when those 3's cool off, we gotta score in the lane and rely on our defense.

so turn away the open threes and force it inside against a packed defense? Okay genius.
All those complaining realize we just beat an undefeated team right?
Also, bucks were purposely packing the paint. Brad Steven's said as much in the halftime interview. If you are getting wide open 3s you have to take them.
Good thing is, Kyrie looks back and Hayward looks better every game. Last night he looked like allstar hayward.
Once we have our chemistry down and both those guys are 100% watch out

They had numerous opportunities to take better high % shots and settled for 3's instead. If all it takes is packing the paint to force Boston into shooting a crazy number of 3's, then the Bucks just found the blueprint on how best to play against this team.
I don't get to see every game because I'm not on the Boston market, but over the last few years most games I've seen have been nothing but street ball and 3 pt competitions. I realize the league is changing (for the worse imo), but Brad has to start keeping these guys in check when they start chucking 3 after 3. You saw what happened last night when those shots stopped falling, a blowout turned into a nail-biter.

43% from 3 is pretty good. Could have hit a couple more to be honest. Lucky we have some very high 3% shooting guys (maybe, combined, better than GSW). Certainly our defense is better than theirs, not today though...
