Bucks (2-2) at Celtics (2-2) Game #5 4/24/18

Tatum needs to work out over the summer. It’s just a strength issue

It looks like it is also an effort issue as well.  He doesn't look like he working hard enough on d...but hey that is my take.

Maybe a little deer in the headlights. He is a rookie after all.

Every championship team needs a Marcus Smart type player. We have the prototype it will be silly to let him go. More than Posey silly.

Posey was toast the second year of his contract, Smart is still very young.

lol that's why I said more than Posey silly..

I'm agreeing with you...

Philly in round two pretty much certain.

HA! Joe Prunty is out here arguing Giannis isn't getting enough calls.

PUH-LEASE.

Yeah, part of it is being a rookie, and a big part of it imo is he's just not physically strong enough.

[kraidstar]

Smart's footwork on defense is remarkable.

If he can ever translate that to offense... watch out.

Yeah, hopefully he can get hot in game 6.

Thought the Cs escaped with that one.

I have no idea why the refs didnt review that shot. That was an abysmal blown call that late in the game. As a fan of basketball, it sucks to see refs blow calls at the most critical junctures (this game, last game too).

Let's close this out in MIL.

You mean Al's buzzer shot?   Did you see a replay that showed it was a blown call?  I missed that.   I was surprised they didn't review that -- possibly a big break for the C's.

Yeah. Wasn't even close.

It's not a reviewable call..you either call it in real time or let it go..

Really? That's awful. They can review a million other petty things but not something that important??? Yikes.

Tatum sitting in the 4th was a good decision. He was being abused by Parker, and his inability to box out is what cost us game 4 with that tip in from Giannis.

Tatum summer assignment .....visit Giannis strength and conditioning coach...

probably the same steroid clinic that lebron  goes to

Jaylen is tougher more physically strong player. Tatum is more finesse. The playoffs are a tougher customer than the regular season.

I don't wanna seem like I am down on Tatum.  The intensity and physicality of the playoffs is a couple notches about anything in college, even playing deep into the dance.  Tatum seems like he learns quick, I am sure he will be better in game 6.

They couldn't review that no call on Jaylen either, that's why the NBA needs some challenge flags!

I am sure they have to go to the review right away, if they let play resume they can't go back to it just because there was a foul following the violation.

How many times the bucks got a free lane to the basket, but oops smart is there.
