Homer, is that you? ;D
If the Celtics attack early on, they have a good shot winning.oh ye of little faith. first, the celtics have won every home game in this series, and guess what? this is a celtics home game.
If this is a close game with exchanging baskets throughout the game, the Bucks have the edge with their athleticism.
If the Bucks are up by 20 then the Celtics season is over.

I would love to go to a game 7 at the Garden sometime before I die.
Heck I would be happy with a regular season game.
cheers
Barkley-“they just have to play well” to beat celtics- I hate him!! haha
Barkley choosing the Bucks gives me a ton of confidence! :P
excellent start so far. C's very smooth and effective on offenseme and my big mouth
Screw Thon Maker. Punk ass
Bledsoe so far is abusing Rozier. I'd like to see Terry show him some pressure defense.

Brown was taken out with like 6 min left in first Quarter, haven't seen that rotation in a long time. Hopefully Morris downs the get double the shot attempts as him by halftime.Needs to settle down. Can’t be messing around in game 7.
Besides getting a great steal and then getting chase down blocked by Giannis he's played great D and made his only shot.Dunno what you mean by settle down.Brown was taken out with like 6 min left in first Quarter, haven't seen that rotation in a long time.

Giannis jumps on Baynes....jump ball. If it was Baynes jumping on Giannis, it's a foul and getting looked at.
So we are giving up lay ups for 3s
Larkin is looking good today

So much more energy tonight than game 6. Everyone is getting out and running right now. I love it.
finally, they called Bledsoe for those cheap shots.
Our second unit being feistythey are bringing energy
Bledsoe is such a ****
Beat the Bucks the refs the NBA and the TNT crew..
Kyrie in the house tonight, I guess he checked the forum and saw that people were unhappy he wasn’t providing moral support :P
Alright, I’ll settle for an even second quarter. Let’s not lose focus.
Our bench players are stepping up!! Just what we need so far for tonight!
Beat the Bucks the refs the NBA and the TNT crew..
McHale is not rooting for the bucks.
Stopped attacking and have let these ****s right back in the [dang] game
COME ON BRAD!!
Call a timeout!
You cannot go up 13 and lose the lead 4 minutes. That's completely inexcusable.
This is what irritates me about CBS. Waits way too long to call a TO smh...
Morris has to play better. He has been down right terrible.
Anymore late Brad lol.Timeouts don’t stop runs. That’s a myth.
That's one biggest flaw of his coaching. Poor use of clock/game management.
Bledsoe has 3 fouls...and no-one trying to foul him out

3rd foul on Bledsoe. Back to the bench you go
Donovan Mitchell > than Jaylen Brown...Brown does not have the killer instinct of Mitchell..both same age.He doesn’t have the skill, which is more important.
All 6 points thanks to Horford thereAgreed 100%.
were they chanting drew bledsoe or who is bledsoe?
Yes-3 fouls on Drew!

awesome Def by Brown on middleton.Good thing cause he can’t throw it in the oceam on the other end
I LOVE MARCUS!!!
Brown needs to stop forcing the 3 and drive. He has shot 3 or 4 bad 3s that are just momentum killers

Brown just pulled his hammy

He’s been laying some major bricks tonight
Crap- brown is injured
Idk why we didn't call a timeout for brown earlier? He was clearly in bad shape

We're winning. He needs to do what he's doing, playing lights out defense and picking his spots.
Crap- brown is injured
It's only fitting that this team can somehow get more injured...
cmon Al, we need drives not bad 3 point shot attempts
What was the type of play Jaylen hurt his knee on? I missed it.
The way he was walking I am concerned about a meniscus tear.

Up 8, but should've capitalized on the Giannis and Bledsoe foul trouble more than that.
Its amazing how weirdly clear it is that we're a better team with Jaylen on the court, than off it.
What was the type of play Jaylen hurt his knee on? I missed it.
The way he was walking I am concerned about a meniscus tear. Or maybe achilles?
No, he was clearly grabbing at his right hamstring. No knee or achilles or anything. Could be cramped or could be a strain, but it certainly looked like hamstring.
I don't think it looked good for Jaylen. It will be surprising if he's able to play.
C's cold and out of it to end the quarter -- with Giannis out. Could have built a much nicer halftime lead.

Jaylen Brown says to athletic trainer what appears to be: "It's just a cramp," as he heads back to the locker room.
Just pray Brown's injury is a pull and not a tear or we may as well lose this game... not to sound pessimistic but we'd really have no shot if he's out
Saying Brown just has a cramp
me too Bono
got out the recliner too fast for anutha 24oz
Big Al needs to stay aggressive
Tatum needs to take over as young one who shoots big in the 4th
Smart needs to stop shooting long shots
Smart needs to keep playing unreal d!
Terry needs to play smart and unselfishly and continue hitting big threes
We need to drive at Freak and get quick 4th foul
Does Rozier ever pass to the big man on the pick and roll?
Brown needs to down some gatorade, stretch/roll his hammy, and get back out there

A collective sigh of relief. Hopefully it's true, but that's what it looked like to me. I remember always having that stuff happen to me, too, especially with the calves and hammies.
Anyone else scared about putting value in some reading peoples lips? I'm not sure we can definitively say that brown told the trainer its just a cramp. I'm not a big believer in lip reading

If that's all it is. Better safe than sorry.

hopefully he can give us 10-12 in the 2nd half. he might need some of the 3rd quarter for any fluids stretching to start to work.
Need to keep pounding it to Al.

They got him on the stationary bike
Jesus Christ, Rozier, STOP FORCING IT, you kindergarten level BBIQ!!
They got him on the stationary bike
so is it a cramp, or a hamstring pull? did anyone ever confirm?

It has to be a cramp, which could still very well keep him out. If it was a strain there'd be no question, I assume.
This is the biggest Al yet
I am begging Stevens to let Horford play 40+ minutes tonight.
Terry...please defend Buttsoe
They have no answer for Horford. Just keep passing it inside.
One big factor is the bucks have come back to earth on their fg% this game.
What did Al have for dinner tonight???
Hopefully the Bucks will start to crumble with the pressure.I don't think they're going away. I think they're for real. This has got to be the best 7th seed I've ever seen.

Probably a comination, but they are missning some wide open shots.One big factor is the bucks have come back to earth on their fg% this game.
I was going to say the same thing. maybe that has to due with our defense, or maybe it is game 7 jitters, or all of the above.
He hasn't hit 40 except for the OT game, I believe. Of course, minutes vs. production follows a bell curve, but we need him out there.I am begging Stevens to let Horford play 40+ minutes tonight.

Eh, this is largely skewed by our injuries. They probably would've been swept if we had Kyrie and Theis, let alone Hayward.

Former Celtic legend Jason Terry is still alive and on the court

It seems like almost all of Milwaukee's offense is directly related to our mistakes. Everything they're getting is either in transition or before our defense can get set.
Going to be a very tough fourth. Middleton ready to go off. Brown looking like he's not going to be able to participate (maybe he'll give it a go, but not looking good). Horford's got to have 12 more minutes in him.

How is that not a foul on Bledsoe???
Bledsoe stepped out of bounds before the foulSaw that too
Brown is available to play
They're still stretching his leg on the sideline
I'm guessing Bucks fans are getting really tired of hearing about Jaylen Brown.
TATUM!!! FINISH THEM!!!

Up 14 with Al on the bench and no Brown. Unreal.
Darn it. I'm gonna fall asleep from the wine. This is a problem
Morris with some big shots towards the end of the 3rd! Let's keep it up Morris!
We don't need to start going for home-run plays. Keep the defense pressure to the max, and keep the ball moving!

Our. Viking is slaying Bucks on boards!!
Pay him!
never thought the refs would have the balls to whistle that many fouls in Giannis this game.
Yeah that was a foul on Semi
HOW WAS THAT NOT A FOUL ON BLEDSOE!!??
I'd be surprised if the Freek fouled out of this game.
They have GOT to record Tommy flipping out on some calls and just play them forever in certain situations.
Yeah that was a foul on Semi
It was, except Rozier was hacked before that by Bledsoe...no call...
I don't think I've ever been this jittery in a double-digit game, lol.
I'd be surprised if the Freek fouled out of this game.he's even more dangerous with 5 fouls because now he can get away with murder. they dont want him fouling out
Allright, 7 games of seeing Giannis. He's absolutely an athletic freak with long limbs, but [dang], he's not a heady basketball player. This whole MVP thing is over rated. This kid has a long way to go to be elite. I'm impressed, but, in my mind, he's much farther away than the pundits claim he is.
Bought some minutes for Horford there, crucial.yeah, the bench did a terrific job of holding the lead for the first 4.5 minutes of the quarter. lots of rest for tatum, horford, and rozier.
Meanwhile Bucks fans everywhere whining about the calls.
I'd be surprised if the Freek fouled out of this game.
We have to force the issue on him
This post-season is officially a success.....if they win tonight.
TATUM!! ANOTHER AND ONE NOT CALLED!!
Tatum finger roll. Rookie looking like a veteran In his first playoff game 7
These refs are seriously trying their best to keep the Bucks in till the bitter end
We are going to need Monroe vs Philly
Tatum does not get calls a lot of guys get going to the rim. He was slapped in the head there
Unreal stat of the night ---
FTs:
Bucks 12/13
C's 11/19
Rozier is clutch as ****
T-RO SO CLUTCH!! Smart with the excellent set-up too!
shoulda left Bayne in
One more run definitely ends it, OR Giannis picking up #6.There you go, a run!!!
Hahaha..who said we are trading Rozier?
(https://i.imgflip.com/1vmcy4.jpg)
Scary Terry hunting bucks!!!
(https://i.imgflip.com/1vmcy4.jpg)
Looks like they had to take out Bledsoe. Dude was about to lose it.
I continue to hate Kris MiddletonSmart has your back.
Tatum with three 20-point games already in the Playoffs.
Middleton will never have a stretch like this again in his career
Take 24 and make the shot. And don't let Middleton touch the dang ball.
Crazy as it sounds, Middleton might have had the better series than Giannis overall... :o
(https://media.giphy.com/media/s9ivFB2exIKCA/giphy.gif)
Lol Rozier is so much better when he plays off the ball.
Giannis just held Rozier's jersey ther
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!!!!
How to keep myself occupied til tip off! Love game seven’s and this one will be insane!! Fans need to rip the roof off tonight with excitement-
Keys to winning
1. Rozier needs over 15 pts
2. Semi needs his defensive mojo on Freak
3. Smart needs super D and breathtaking energy
4. Smart needs to only shoot wide open shots
5. Big Al needs big game- 15 pt min with 10 plus boards
6. Brown needs to get into 20’s and be ready to take over 4th and go toe to toe with Freak
7. Stevens needs to switch up D in second half to throw them off
8. Tatum needs to ramp up energy and be fearless
9. Morris needs to knock down open shots
My prediction
Celtics 111
Bucks 98
Middleton just unreal.
Middleton just unreal.
Much respect for Khris Middleton. If that guy can stay healthy he's an all star.
Horford put the dagger in
Larkin twisted in deeper
LOL TNT studio 'experts'.
JET misses what may be his last shot. Maybe.he was trying to end it all with a 3 lol

Everything is gravy from here on out.
How many NBA teams could win a playoff series with their best 2 players out? Stevens has to be COTY
Its huge that we were able to keep Brown out the whole second half and not risk worsening his injury!
Let's hope he's good to go for Monday night.

Eh, Embiid has gained some officiating favor, but he's also young and hasn't developed that much respect from the refs yet compared to someone like Giannis. I don't think Simmons has developed that much officiating favor yet either. I think we'll see less of that against Philly than we did this series with Giannis.
C's play Monday...Cleveland traditionally has been getting two days rest between games during playoffs. This culture of favoring players and teams needs to stop. Does the league ever get concerned about creditability?

Thanks..We need that...Can we get two days every game every series like the Cavs?C's play Monday...Cleveland traditionally has been getting two days rest between games during playoffs. This culture of favoring players and teams needs to stop. Does the league ever get concerned about creditability?
The schedule is already put out. It has to do with hockey too. game 2 is Thursday, 2 day break. Sorry dude.
we'll see. NBA loves flashy players they can promote for ratings purposes. next series, Simmons and Embiid have the most 'flash' or name recognition to draw favorable calls from the refs.Who on the 76's has the NBA officials anointed superstar?Simmons and Embiid. bank on it.

Listening to Stevens, it doesn't sound as good for Brown as the tweet had suggested.

Yeah, game 1 on Monday would be a pretty quick turnaround. I’m expecting him to sit game 1 with the expectation of playing game 2 on Thursday.

Unfortunately we can't move to the second round. It was a good series, but I think we're the better team."
Is it just me, or is this a fairly ignorant and dumb comment by Giannis given that (a) we beat them fair and square over a seven game series, but more importantly (b) they were virtually completely healthy while we were missing our two best players, a solid rotation big, and our best defender for the first four games?

And we lost Jaylen for the second half of game 7. Give the opponent some respect and show some class Giannis!
He also is largely at fault for their loss tonight. He had way too many turnovers and missed shots in the second half when they needed him. Semi shut him down. He could at least give Semi some props.

Grade 1 hamstring strain. He might be ready for game 1. It could take anywhere from a couple of days to a week to heal on average.

Yeah, game 1 on Monday would be a pretty quick turnaround. I’m expecting him to sit game 1 with the expectation of playing game 2 on Thursday.
Good test for the C's medical staff. If you get him to recover quickly, he's good for game 1. If you push too hard, you risk to lose him for the rest of the playoffs.
Hopefully this is why his shot was so off tonight, and not the nerves of a game 7.

You might argue that the C's medical staff already failed. They cleared Brown to play after some sideline work in the 3rd quarter (according to TNT staff). Thankfully Brad was smart and cautious enough to sit Brown against his wishes. It could very well have prevented significant further damage. Can't mess around with hammy injuries.

Unfortunately we can't move to the second round. It was a good series, but I think we're the better team."
Is it just me, or is this a fairly ignorant and dumb comment by Giannis given that (a) we beat them fair and square over a seven game series, but more importantly (b) they were virtually completely healthy while we were missing our two best players, a solid rotation big, and our best defender for the first four games?
And we lost Jaylen for the second half of game 7. Give the opponent some respect and show some class Giannis!
He also is largely at fault for their loss tonight. He had way too many turnovers and missed shots in the second half when they needed him. Semi shut him down. He could at least give Semi some props.
He's just shooked that a depleted team beat them.
Who on the 76's has the NBA officials anointed superstar?Simmons and Embiid. bank on it.
Eh, Embiid has gained some officiating favor, but he's also young and hasn't developed that much respect from the refs yet compared to someone like Giannis. I don't think Simmons has developed that much officiating favor yet either. I think we'll see less of that against Philly than we did this series with Giannis.
Simmons can't shoot, we can contain him. We just can't let guys like Redick, Belinelli and Ilyasova kill us.

And that's exactly what is going to happen. Just like Brogdon, Middleton and an occasional Parker...I bet Ilyasova and Belinelli will have career nights against the Celtics like how most opposing no-namers do lol.

Sounds like 2nd round panic has settled in quickly
I honestly do not understand players who continue to belittle their opponents after they beat you. It is better to give them credit because you simultaneously prop up your own team. Getting beat by a ‘lesser team’ doesn't say much about yourself.https://twitter.com/GwashburnGlobe/status/990436519981830144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Fmilwaukee-bucks&tfw_site=bleacherreportQuoteGiannis Antetokounmpo: "We thought we were the better team.

Honestly Giannis is an idiot if he still thinks the bucks were the better team. We were missing two all stars, a rotation big, our best defender for most of the series, and our leading scorer for half of game 7 and they still couldn't beat us. At this point he needs to grow the f up and just tip the hat to the team that pounded him in game 7. What a bozo.
Monroe didn't play. Was he too slow for the Bucks?They stopped playing their true bigs (Zeller and Henson) and were basically only playing Maker. I think that's the main reason. Against Philly, with Embiid, Amir and Holmes I see Moose getting a lot more mins

Yeah, I can see it already Redick and Belinelli especially we need to really hound all over the court. Now that smart is back it really helps. We have Terry, Brown, Smart to chase those guys around.
