Celtics (1-3) at Bucks (3-1) Round 2 Game 5 5/8/19

Hayward’s needs more shots to get in rhythm

[PhoSita]

All this team does on offense for this whole series is just shovel the ball around the perimeter, no penetration at all. 

Bucks length has completely short-circuited their offense.

[mr. dee]

Indifferent to the outcome of this game.  In a strange way I wouldn't mind seeing this season come to a close tonight.  Can't remember the last time I felt this way.

The closest probably was the 2005 playoffs against the Pacers.

What an effort by smart to get that offensive rebound

[cltc5]

That’s a good lineup.  Leave them in brad!

[crimcartel]

I like this 5 in right now..

Well, as soon as Smart and Morris come in the energy completely changes. So important to our team. The perimeter D and energy was spectacular on htat last possession.

And then Morris with the great penetration and kick and Smart with the big offensive board.

You have to play those two more tonight, especially with everyone else looking a bit low-energy.

Smart plays his butt off. They have been a worse team without him.

[droopdog7]

Bucks have been hitting those last second off balance threes all series and we just haven’t

Thats not it.  Their defense gives us zero easy looks.  Over the course of the game that plays out.

No Rozier!

Absolutely. I don't think you see three straight collapses in the second half if Smart was healthy and playing this entire series. Dude is legitimately the heart and soul of this team, and so many people underrate his impact on our team.

The chances at a Boston sports slam probably ends tonight, but at least there's a shot at the Triple Crown! (Bruins)

C's have gotten a lot of good looks in this series. They just aren't a good enough shooting team to capitalize on it. Team doesn't hit the big momentum shots that the Bucks certainly will.

Man, in and out for Al.

LOL I LOVE SMART!! He was not going to let Bledsoe get that Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. off!
