Game Notes
The Celtics look to bounce back after their 116-92 blowout loss in Game 3.  The Bucks came out with energy and purpose right from the tip and outscored the Celtics 58-35 in the first half.  The Celtics looked sluggish and were a step behind the entire game.  At one point, they cut the deficit to 14 points but they couldn't pull any closer. 

With John Henson out, Joe Prunty started Tyler Zeller at center in Henson's place.  He also moved Malcolm Brogdon into the starting lineup in place of Tony Snell.  This lineup came out strong to open the game and the Celtics never had an answer for them.  But it wasn't just the new starting lineup that buried the Celtics.  Thon Maker and Jabari Parker who weren't a factor in the first two games came up big off the bench for the Bucks. 

John Henson is once again listed as doubtful with back soreness for this game.  I am thinking that the Bucks will go with the same starters as they did in Game 3 since it worked out so well for them.  Even if Henson is able to play,  I can see the Bucks sticking with the same starters since they were so successful in Game 3.

The Celtics are still missing Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, Daniel Theis and Marcus Smart.  There is some good news, however.  Marcus Smart is with the team in Milwaukee and has been cleared for everything except live game action.  He will be re-evaluated next week and may be available for the last 2 or 3 games in this series. 

The Pelicans swept their series against the Trailblazers.  Other than that series, and the Warriors who lead the Spurs 3-0, the other series are going at least 5 games.  The Sixers lead the Heat 3-1.  The Pacers lead the Cavs 2-1.  The Raptors lead the Wizards 2-1.  The Rockets lead the Wolves 2-1.  The Thunder and Jazz series is also 2-1.

Key Matchups

Al Horford  vs Giannis Antetokounmpo
Once again, this will be a key matchup.  Antetokounmpo had 35 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals in Game 1. He followed that up with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists while shooting 75% from the field.  He played just 27 minutes in Game 3 and finished with 19 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.   Al has been great for the Celtics but even he couldn't get going in game 3.   He will need a big game on both ends of the court if they want to get a win in this one. 

(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Tatum_Jayson_bos17.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Middleton_Khris_mil1617.jpg)
Jayson Tatum vs Khris Middleton
 In Game 1, Middleton had 31 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.  He shot 60% from the field and 71% from beyond the arc. In game 2, Middleton finished with 25 points, shooting 71% from the field and 66% from beyond the arc.  In Game 2, he finished with 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists and shot 59% from the field and 50% from beyond the arc.  It goes without saying that the Celtics need to do a better job defending Middleton in this game. 

(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Rozier_Terry_bos17.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Bledsoe_Eric_phx17.jpg)
Terry Rozier vs Eric Bledsoe
  Rozier clearly outplayed Bledsoe in Games 1 and 2 and Terry clearly seemed to be in his head.  In Game 3, that reversed with Bledsoe scoring 17 points on 62% shooting along with 4 rebounds and 4 assists with just 1 turnover.  Rozier had just 9 points on 29% shooting with 2 rebounds and 9 assists.  After not having a turnover in Games 1 and 2, Rozier turned the ball over 5 times in Game 3. 

Honorable Mention
Celtics Bench vs Bucks Bench
 The Celtics reserves scored 27 points to 23 points for the Bucks reserves in Game 1.   In Game 2, the Celtics reserves put up 41 off the bench while the Bucks reserves scored 25 points.  But, as with everything else, that changed with Game 3.   The Bucks reserves contributed 48 points to just 30 points from the Celtics reserves in Game 3.  The Celtics need to get more from their reserves in Game 4 both on offense and on defense in Game 4. 

Keys to the Game
Defense - The Celtics led the league in defensive rating for the entire regular season.  However, in this series, their defense has yet to show up.   They have allowed the Bucks to shoot 48.2% from the field  in the first game and 59.7% in the second game. In the third game, the Bucks shot 57% from the field and 49% from beyond the arc.   If the Celtics want to win this series,  they are going to have to tighten up their defense and get back to the team that had a 101.5 defensive rating in the regular season.  In Game 3, the Bucks amped up their defense and that completely disrupted the Celtics.    The Celtics have to be the better team on defense if they want to win Game 4 and the series. 

Rebound - Next to defense, rebounding will be key for the Celtics.  So far, the Celtics have done a good job on the boards.   It takes effort to rebound and when the Celtics put out that extra effort to get rebounds, it usually translates to other areas of their game.  The Celtics barely out-rebounded the Bucks 45-43 in Game 1.  Both teams had 38 rebounds in Game 2.  In Game 3, the Celtics out rebounded the Bucks 45-37, but they didn't defend and couldn't hit their shots.  The Celtics must continue to crash the glass as a team and give even more effort on the boards in this game. 

Be Aggressive
- The Celtics have to be the more aggressive team from start to finish.  They have to be aggressive in going after loose balls and on defense and going to the basket and grabbing rebounds.   The Celtics were the more aggressive team in Games 1 and 2 but that changed in Game 3.  The Bucks came out playing hard and out-played the Celtics on both ends of the court.  They were the team that ran after loose balls and defended and played harder.  The Celtics, on the other hand, looked sluggish and never quite got going.  The Celtics  have to be the team that plays harder and is more aggressive if they want to get a win in this game. 

Move the Ball Carefully -  When the Celtics move the ball and find the open man,  they are tough to beat.  The Celtics had just 17 assists in Game 3 to 28 for the Bucks.  The ball wasn't moving and when it did, the Bucks were able to get steals  and disrupt the passes.  After turning the ball over 15 times to 20 for the Bucks in Game 1, and having 5 turnovers to 15 for the Bucks in Game 2,  the Celtics had 16 turnovers to 9 for the Bucks in Game 3.  They need to move the ball and make more careful passes while getting back to playing unselfishly. 

X-Factors
Coaching - In  Games 1 and 2, Brad was able to push all the right buttons and use the right strategies to win.   In Game 3, it was Joe Prunty who was able to get his team to play harder and do all the right things while the Celtics just couldn't get themselves going.  Now it's Brad's turn to make the next move.  Hopefully he can get the Celtics back on track and playing hard, especially on the defensive end. 

On the Road - The Celtics were a good road team this season with a 23-18 record away from home.  The Bucks were also pretty good at home with a 25-16 home record.  The Celtics seemed to lose their focus and couldn't hit their shots or keep the Bucks from hitting theirs.  They need to stay focused on playing their game and not let the hostile environment distract them.  The Bucks' young players play much better at home and so the Celtics need to be ready for them with tougher defense. 

Officiating -  In Games 1 and 2, the officiating was pretty good with the refs letting them play and calling it fairly evenly.  After Game 3, Marcus Morris said that he felt that the refs were targeting him and was fined $15,000 for it.  When Al Horford was asked about the officiating, he laughed and said that if he gave away money, he wanted it to be to charity and asked if he said what he wanted to in Spanish, could he still be fined.   Hopefully the officiating is better in this game.

Yup.  Whatever chance they might have of competing in  the second may well hinge on their ability to keep this a short series when in position to make it happen.  Definitely an interesting game.  I'd be super impressed if they win this one.

Boston has two mismatches against Milwaukee by way of Brown being defended by Brogdon and Horford being guarded by Giannis when it's starters versus starters, and it would behoove the Celtics to recognize that advantage and pound the ball inside with those two guys, imo. Play through them. Please.

Last game was a reality check.

This game will be a gut check.

Can Khris Middleton continue to shoot 63% from the field (63% from 2 and 63% from 3) when his career averages are 45/40?  If so, could be another bad day in Milwaukee. Need Rozier to have an impact and Al to look like all-star Al.

Patience and poise are going to be extremely important on offense today.  The Bucks aggression on defense was impressive with Thon in the game but we can use it against them with great execution.  Can Milwaukee adapt if Brad comes up with a plan to attach their switches in the P&R?  Today is where we should expect the coaching advantage to play a big factor.

This is true in the sense that defense has been the staple of our success.  That being said I think it's clear that our atrocious offense in the first half was the reason we weren't in game 3.  We either turned the ball over or drove into blocked shots on nearly half of our possessions.  Poor defense was a result of arguably the worst offensive performance of the season.

Easy dunks and wide-open 3s. It sure must be nice to be Milwaukee.

And it didn't have to be this way. We had so many opportunities to take control early in this game and we missed so many gimmes. Basketball is a funny game as momentum is a very real thing in this sport. You miss too many chances and the other team runs with it.

Post by: Atzar on April 22, 2018, 02:05:38 PM
When Boston runs the offense from the wings, Milwaukee completely disregards the weak side shooter and puts the extra body in the paint.  We can't get the ball to the shooter because of their length, so we're effectively playing 4-on-5 on offense.  Milwaukee then uses the extra body to further disrupt passing lanes without risk. 

We haven't figured out how to counter that yet.  We can run some semblance of an offense down the center of the court - from the top of the key or in the paint - but even then, we're just not hitting shots.

It's ugly right now.

not really. it is called posters calling it like they see it. this is all development for next year anyway.

IM STARTING TO BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE BUCKS IN 6.

Bucks are able to play us well in our homecourt while they are just blowing us out in theirs.

Al is not the person to blame. He's been the best and most consistent player for us this series. Tatum, Rozier, and Morris are the ones to blame who have failed to show up today and last game.

Young players and most bench units don't play well on the road. Luckily we have home court advantage still. Just hold out until Smart gets back and defend home court.

yes guys like Smart play better on the road to fanatic crowds .  They love being the antagonists,  and it makes him go. 

Smart also causes the other guys to step up their energy .

Embarrassing showing by pretty much everyone but Brown, who would look even better if he could get a freaking whistle, and to a lesser extent Horford.

We truly miss Smart. Our guards are hemorrhaging points on both ends.

Hopefully Brad will rip these guys' effort at halftime and we'll come out with more resolve in the second half.

They really need to come right out of the half with like a 10-2 or 14-5 run or something like that. Get back into it NOW and then chip away throughout the rest of the quarter.

They can do it to, gotta knock down their open shots and stop letting them get to the rim so often.

Celtics need a PG that can put the offense in their proper places. That point guard needs some sort of PG skills. He doesn't have to be a passer like Rondo either.

Even in this day of scoring point guards, you can't have two shooting guards on the floor.

I'm so over Brad spreading minutes to the Bench.  Play the starters so we can have a rhythm.  Every time you put in a bench player you lose all that momentum. Especially since the Bucks bench has some semblance of skill.

BTW what did you the team focus on for the last 36 hours?  because I'm not sure they learned a [dang] thing.  In that mic'd up segment, between the always irritating babble of Hubie "the knowledgeable basketball analyst" Brown, Stevens said they started letting the ball stick with too many isolations.  This is the most fundamental part of team basketball they just don't understand.  Pass the ball before the defense can reset itself, you do that enough and the defense is out of position.  Combine it with movement and you should get easy shots. 

But no! The Celtics aren't going to do that because they believe they know what's best when in reality they've lost touch with their responsibilities because they've made a couple big shot.

The Bucks are awful, and the Celts should beat the Bucks even with all their injuries, but I'm ready to be done watching this team.

Just ugly basketball right now.  Too depleted to maintain an offense I want to watch.

It is rough. Seems like they have hit their ceiling. I am about ready to turn the page to next year. Just not a lot of anything

Without Brown this would be 30 pt lead.

Al is a NO SHOW ON OFFENSE.

IM STARTING TO BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE BUCKS IN 6.

Bucks are able to play us well in our homecourt while they are just blowing us out in theirs.

Al is not the person to blame. He's been the best and most consistent player for us this series. Tatum, Rozier, and Morris are the ones to blame who have failed to show up today and last game.
Tatum's still a rookie so I'm not as hard on him.  Rozier and Morris, not so much.  Larkin has been just awful
Rozier and Morris are bench players.  You should blame them either.  It’s not their fault they aren’t stars.

Even bench players should be better than 1-7 and 2-8 with terrible decision-making and porous defense.
No, not really.  This is what happens when you ask a guy to do more than he’s capable of doing.  Inconsistent, bad results.  Bench guys thrive when the attention is on the stars.

I'm not saying we do. Just reiterating the fact that Rozier has been trash most of this series, but somehow he received a ton of hype after the first two wins in Boston, primarily because he hit a big shot at the end of regulation in game 1 and had a good overall game 2.

All our guys right now need to get tougher on D.  The refs are allowing a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.load of contact, we need to adjust and play accordingly.  If Tatum isn't making shots he is a big liability right now.  If he isn't going to play def bring in semi.

I'd rather just have Brown or Tatum handle the ball, that or play through Horford in the post.  Rozier's PnR play is so subpar that he doesn't warrant the reps that he gets.  Ends up overdribbling and getting nothing for it.

I still think Boston in 7. This has the 2017 Eastern Conference Semifinals written all over it where the home team wins every game. Without Kyrie and Hayward (and Smart), these two teams are so evenly matched that home court plays a major role in the game, especially with us given that our role players (who make up the vast majority of the team now) play so much better at home than on the road. Also, don't forget that we'll most likely be getting Smart back either on Tuesday or Thursday, too, so that should significantly help with the guard rotations, which is currently killing us.

I'm so over Brad spreading minutes to the Bench.  Play the starters so we can have a rhythm.  Every time you put in a bench player you lose all that momentum. Especially since the Bucks bench has some semblance of skill.

BTW what did you the team focus on for the last 36 hours?  because I'm not sure they learned a [dang] thing.  In that mic'd up segment, between the always irritating babble of Hubie "the knowledgeable basketball analyst" Brown, Stevens said they started letting the ball stick with too many isolations.  This is the most fundamental part of team basketball they just don't understand.  Pass the ball before the defense can reset itself, you do that enough and the defense is out of position.  Combine it with movement and you should get easy shots. 

But no! The Celtics aren't going to do that because they believe they know what's best when in reality they've lost touch with their responsibilities because they've made a couple big shot.

I prefer to go with Hubie Brown-Noser ;) ;D.

Too simplified.  First, Rozier is an up and down shooter.  So can’t be surprised that he’s not able to do that sometimes.  Second, there is a whole lot more on him than just getting wide open threes.  He doesn’t have the ability to be good, or even average as a starter in a playoff series.

Its a risk, but he has to rest his starters. End of the quarter is perfect for that. At least we only lost maybe 2 pts? Hopefully it doesnt kill the momentum, but at some point we really needed to rest them.

We found our matchup for Thon, it's Baynes.

I love how Baynes is totally disrespecting his shot, too. He's just about sitting in the paint while Thon is wide open at the 3 point line

Didn't work last time, but I guess it's one thing when you're defended by mushy Monroe, and another when you're being bodied by Dothraki Baynes...

Thon Maker got NOTHING on Aron Baynes.

And that Jaylen Brown kid sparking a fire!

Maker has fouled him 5 times in the last 2 minutes.

This timeout should cool him off, he was playing like he wanted to hurt someone

I expected him to run up and shove Baynes while he wasn't looking

Brown and Tatum are shouldering the whole scoring load.  Baynes and Horford are playing well in their roles.  Rozier can't throw it in the ocean, but he's doing okay otherwise. 

That's our lineup - the starters.  The bench is giving us zilch today.

Nothing  hate more on this team then when the ball gets swung to Morris with 12 seconds left and he goes into triple threat stance. Right then you know nobody else is touching the ball nomatter what. And can we please get Brown the ball of a screen he sets and let him drive that's when good thing happen. Instesd we are having slippery feet Larkin pound the ball for most the shot clock up top.

That's not a brain fart. He's been leaving him wide open on every possession, if Brad wanted hom playing tight he would have said something earlier (like during the time out)

It sucks that the Bucks finally noticed and took advantage, but we were using it pretty effectively to contest shots and get better rebounding position

**** is Baynes doing there?? He's a freaking three point shooter!!

Baynes is a perpetual momentum breaker. Good lord, what a brain fart that was.

Maker shot under 30% from 3 this year.
Yesh, Bayern’s was doing that during the entire run.  Daring him to shoot.

These are professional players. You simply cannot back 15 feet off of a shooter and allow him to shoot. That is dumb, dumb basketball.

he and Larkin have been a real achilles heel as PGs today.  a handful of decent plays aren't making up for a game full of bad plays

Such horse****. These refs are on one. Rozier gets laid out on a three - no call. Middleton gets bumped a little - definitely a call.

Tatum hit him in the head.

I don't know about that play. I didn't mind having Morris getting it because he had a free lane. But he should have went hard to the basket, or atleast should have made a quick move. Giving Middleton time to set his feet is only asking for trouble.

I don't think he was the first option, though.

Surely Brad wanted to get that to anyone else, but the Bucks made sure that it couldn't get there. Morris had the entire right side to himself. With no timeouts left, you're left with no choice.

Lots of hindsight bias in here right now.

We got Morris in a one-on-one situation where he had a size advantage.  He got a clean look and missed it.  It happens.

You can complain about Brown not getting the shot, Tatum not getting the shot, whatever, but nobody is crying if he hits that.

Winnable game.  Bucks are clearly an inferior team.  Celts are just missing too many of their most important pieces.

What frustrates me is knowing that a significant portion of the media will talk about this series as though the Celts weren't missing a bunch of guys.  They'll talk about how great Giannis is and they'll talk about the Celts offense just not being that good.

But bottom line I think it's clear this would be a 5 game series if the Celts weren't missing 4 of their best 8-9 players.

exchange Brown or Tatum for where Morris was on the floor for that play or set better screens to get them open.  Morris may not have been option 1 but they should have worked harder to get the ball to someone who had a hotter hand than Morris

That is the most stupid possession in the Brad stevens era.

Why not go with JB. Or just draw the same play with Al.

Because they were guarded, heavily.

With no timeouts, you have no options at that point but to make a pass.

In fairness, there isn't much you can run with 5 seconds on the clock. But I'd have liked to have this shot go to someone else instead. Heck, I'd have even preferred a three-pointer for the win.

Brown totally should have held it, but he had his arm ripped away from the ball and they just let it slide. This then led to the wide-open Brogdon 3. That is a 5 point swing and the reason we lost this game.

And I know, I know, if we had played better earlier in the game, then we wouldn't have needed that play, but we didn't and we lost a game that we should have won.

Not a moral victory but I am much happier with the comeback than if they'd gotten blown out again.   Game 5 is key.   If it goes 7, probably have Smart back.  I'd love to see him back in Game 6 in Milwaukee, but I guess that's wishful thinking.

Love the fight they are giving Milwaukee with 4 rotation players unavailabe.   

THon Maker made a big difference in Milwaukee.   He showed some great timing on a couple of those blocks and is ridiculously long.

I really don't think so. It sure looked like they ran a bunch of side actions that got everyone on the inbounding side of the court to give Morris plenty of room to work. That looked like the first option the entire way through.

You can complain about Brown not getting the shot, Tatum not getting the shot, whatever, but nobody is crying if he hits that. 

No hindsight bias whatsoever, that's BS....You give the ball to your best players, period.

It's fools gold thinking a partially open Morris is a better option than a more tightly guarded Horford/Brown/Tatum.  I'd trust anyone of them more to make something happen, even tightly guarded, than Morris beating Middleton one-on-one from mid-range.

Yeah. It was clearly a foul on Brown that was missed (Ed Maloy is such a d bag), but we have to know to not push it there.

And ultimately that was on Rozier. It's the point guard's job to control the game in that manner, and him pushing it up to Brown on the break ultimately allowed this to happen. He should've pulled it back out and slowed it down. Honestly, just doing that probably wins us this game.

Rozier's terrible BBIQ once again kills us down the stretch.

Suffering through an ESPN broadcast for 2 and a half hours really makes me appreciate Mike, scal, and even Tommy so much more. Hubie brown is just lost and rambles on and on without actually connecting the dots with what he's saying. Then you got this other guy who's in his late 40s trying to throw in sayings teenagers say into the broadcast, it's just a trainwreck with those 2. I'm sorry but I'm not trying to hear "Giannis caught a body" over and over..
If you think this was bad, just tune into a NE Revolution game on the radio...

Also, this is why the NBA needs coach's challenges. The officiating is just so bad and inconsistent that missed calls like that Middleton foul on the Brown fast break late in the game totally influence and ultimately change the course of the game. That's a potential 4-5 point swing that the ref ultimately caused because he made a mistake.

I’d like to see the replay on the Jaylen steal.  Would be very surprised if it was all ball.
So I just looked at the replay and Jaylen was CLEARLY fouled.

Yeah, I did the same thing. I'll expect to see that one in the two-minute report.

The Giannis charge was another very questionable one.

Yup. Morris was in a legal defending position and Giannis clobbered him right between the numbers. NO way to play defense if you're not allowed to stay in front of your man. Just a terrible call. And it sure did look as though Brown was hacked, though that was at least a bang-bang play. It unfortunately was the key sequence in the game  :(

We gotta play better defense on that 3-pointer, though. Things aren't always gonna go our way, but getting stops makes it a lot easier to overcome the tough breaks.

Just rush Smart back pleaseeee.

I know this is irrational. But as long as Smart can move his feet, I dont care if he can't pass or shoot, just take minutes from Larkin or Rozier! Even Ojeleye played better than those 2.
I'm with it. I hate that I see people say rozier is a good defender. He can't stay in front of anyone and gets switched in the pick and roll and then abused far too often. Which is sad because he could and should be a better defender than what he is.
That's why I've been laughing at all the rozier vs smart talk on here. Smart>>>>>rozier. Both about the same inconsistency but smart gives u defense hustle and playmaking all the time

Disappointing that they chose to go to Morris on the most important possession of the game.  Not getting the ball in the hands of Horford, Brown, or Tatum is a mistake, plain and simple.

I don't think he was the first option, though.

Surely Brad wanted to get that to anyone else, but the Bucks made sure that it couldn't get there. Morris had the entire right side to himself. With no timeouts left, you're left with no choice.

You could get a far worse shot for what was most likely a third option.  No problems with it.

The defense was ATROCIOUS that last 10 minutes or so. The Bucks scored on almost every possession.

A lot of youthful mistakes on that end.

Loved the shotmaking by the young guys down the stretch though. This bodes well for the future.

I agree -- bad D and a few bad mistakes.   But, JB and JT were impressive.  Terry had a rough 2 games in Milwaukee but I think he's going to bounce back in Boston.

It was not a third option. At best it was a 1B option.

But what makes it even better - Rozier was the 1A option. Morris and Rozier were a combined 7-25 at that point in the game....

While I'm certainly not a Brad apologist by any means, both Rozier and Morris had made big shots in the fourth and certainly bailed us out in the first two games, so I don't necessarily think that those were the worst options, available, and with our luck, Terry probably would have made that three, lol.

That said, why does Brown never get the ball in the post against Brogdon?

Yes, I'm sure everyone in Milwaukee was wanting Brown (34 points on 54% shooting), Tatum (21 points on 44% shooting), or Big Al (13 points on 50% shooting) to take the shot over Rozier (10 points on 25% shooting) or Morris (13 points on 28.5 % shooting).

THIS IS SUCH EFFING BS! HOW IS THAT NOT A FOUL FOR BROWN?!

Brown totally should have held it, but he had his arm ripped away from the ball and they just let it slide. This then led to the wide-open Brogdon 3. That is a 5 point swing and the reason we lost this game.

And I know, I know, if we had played better earlier in the game, then we wouldn't have needed that play, but we didn't and we lost a game that we should have won.

Yeah. It was clearly a foul on Brown that was missed (Ed Maloy is such a d bag), but we have to know to not push it there.

And ultimately that was on Rozier. It's the point guard's job to control the game in that manner, and him pushing it up to Brown on the break ultimately allowed this to happen. He should've pulled it back out and slowed it down. Honestly, just doing that probably wins us this game.

Rozier's terrible BBIQ once again kills us down the stretch.
Im not sure brown made a mistake.  He was in the open court where he is lethal and worst case scenario, he gets fouled.  We were only up one and would have had to work to get a shot.  Take the points if you can get them. 

Unfortunately, worse case scenario was actually brown getting fouled and the refs not calling it.

I will say, regardless of that dumbass play call, or whether or not we win/lose this series, I've already seen everything I've needed to out of this playoff run.

All I cared about coming into the playoffs was to see how Tatum/Brown could handle a big role and whether or not Rozier was capable of being a starting caliber playoff PG.

Brown and Tatum have shown me all I need to see to know they are the cornerstones here we need them to be. Rozier has proven he's nothing more than a good backup.  Whatever happens from here on out is irrelevant.  It would be great if Boston can win this series, but if not, I'm not going to be terribly bothered by it.

Brad Stevens says the two options on the final play were Rozier coming off a misdirection, which was taken away by a switch, or the one-on-one shot that Morris took.

Holy hell, Brad. So you're telling me the two options that you came up with involved the two players who have been absolute garbage the past two games and were a combined 7 for 25 at that point?

Let's hear the Brad apologists explain this ish.

In Brad's defense, it wasn't as bad as the Jared Sullinger 3's he used to draw up ATO.

But yeah, not the ideal options there.
Yeah, but drawing a play with just two options... for the guys that have been ice cold all game? Trying a little too hard there, maybe. Come on, if you really hate giving it to the rooks, you can put Horford on the same play and make him earn his salary...

Last thing I wanna hear is the Celtics blew 2-0 series lead to the Bucks at the end of this series.

And I thought we're 35-0 all-time when leading 2-0 in a series. Better not let that streak snap by the Bucks of all teams.

This is why game five is The Game. Whoever wins it will win this series

Anyone remember the 2008 Championship team not winning a game in ATL in the first round? Took 7 to beat them. I’m not saying this team is a title contender, but it’s just time to take it to the Bucks back at home.

Talk about jinx effect.  The talk of being undefeated after up 2-0 is enough to assure beyond any doubt that the streak will end.

That team we had PP34, KG, and Ray Allen in their primes complemented by the likes of James Posey, Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, Leon Powe, and Eddie House.

Disappointing that they chose to go to Morris on the most important possession of the game.  Not getting the ball in the hands of Horford, Brown, or Tatum is a mistake, plain and simple.

I don't think he was the first option, though.

Surely Brad wanted to get that to anyone else, but the Bucks made sure that it couldn't get there. Morris had the entire right side to himself. With no timeouts left, you're left with no choice.

You could get a far worse shot for what was most likely a third option.  No problems with it.

It was not a third option. At best it was a 1B option.

But what makes it even better - Rozier was the 1A option. Morris and Rozier were a combined 7-25 at that point in the game....

That's fair.

But also to be fair, Rozier has a habit of making big shots. He might be struggling in this game, but his history tells us that he could handle those late game moments.

The Morris play was weird for me, but I didn't mind because he had a clear side for him to work. What bugged me was he took his sweet time to do it.

THIS IS SUCH EFFING BS! HOW IS THAT NOT A FOUL FOR BROWN?!

Brown totally should have held it, but he had his arm ripped away from the ball and they just let it slide. This then led to the wide-open Brogdon 3. That is a 5 point swing and the reason we lost this game.

And I know, I know, if we had played better earlier in the game, then we wouldn't have needed that play, but we didn't and we lost a game that we should have won.

Yeah. It was clearly a foul on Brown that was missed (Ed Maloy is such a d bag), but we have to know to not push it there.

And ultimately that was on Rozier. It's the point guard's job to control the game in that manner, and him pushing it up to Brown on the break ultimately allowed this to happen. He should've pulled it back out and slowed it down. Honestly, just doing that probably wins us this game.

Rozier's terrible BBIQ once again kills us down the stretch.
Im not sure brown made a mistake.  He was in the open court where he is lethal and worst case scenario, he gets fouled.  We were only up one and would have had to work to get a shot.  Take the points if you can get them. 

Unfortunately, worse case scenario was actually brown getting fouled and the refs not calling it.

If Brown got all the free throws he was entitled to, he would've scored at least 40 and The Celtics would've won the game.

You'd think the league would want to showcase promising young talent like Brown. But he doesn't get much respect so far in his career.

If he were on the Lakers he'd have gotten 20FT's.

To be fair I thought the C's hesitated a tiny bit , for a split second they looked unsure of whether they should push it or not.

that hesitation was costly and enabled the Bucks to make a play on the ball, even if it was a hack. With more experience hopefully we'll be more decisive.

IIRC we didn't win a road game until the ECF against the Pistons.  It was really strange for a team comprised of solid veterans.

The thing about young players is that they usually play better at home.  That's been true of the Bucks and it's been true of us this series - well except for Jaylen.  Tatum was better today.  The other youngsters have been pretty bad.  Hopefully we get more out of Rozier and our bench in game 5.

Leftover thoughts from this game: that play with 40 seconds left where we turned it over shows me a team and a coach that want to win the game with offense, not with defense.

The high percentage play here is to hold the ball, get a good shot, and if you miss -- prepare to defend the last possession. Even call a TO if you have to set up a play (we had 2 in the pocket).

Instead, we opted to force a fast break that wasn't there in the hopes of a basket that would have effectively ended the game. That's not winning basketball right there.

we should have tried run down the clock. The problem is brown thought he saw an open lane so wanted to take advantage

What open lane, he's going 1 on 3 there. There's also a coach right there that should have called the TO to stop this dumpster fire. Gah!

In the heat of the game, we have our young 2nd year player who put up 34 points wanting to go for the kill and get the score that wins the game for us.  He was in the open court trying to make a play at the biggest point of the game.  He gets a pass from me on that.  He was fouled.  Blown call by the ref.

Looking over the stats, I didn't realize how much we cleaned up the turnovers in the 2nd half.  I think we had 6 at half time.  We only had 8 for the game, which is pretty great.  I know it is a minor point, but you can't come back from 20 if you don't take good care of the ball.  That lesson seems to have stuck.

LOL, thanks. I appreciate your optimism. Me, I tend to get REALLY negative in these situations, but you're right—cutting back on the turnovers was a main reason they were able to rally. If only they could avoid these 20-point deficits to begin with.

I will say, regardless of that dumbass play call, or whether or not we win/lose this series, I've already seen everything I've needed to out of this playoff run.

All I cared about coming into the playoffs was to see how Tatum/Brown could handle a big role and whether or not Rozier was capable of being a starting caliber playoff PG.

Brown and Tatum have shown me all I need to see to know they are the cornerstones here we need them to be. Rozier has proven he's nothing more than a good backup.  Whatever happens from here on out is irrelevant.  It would be great if Boston can win this series, but if not, I'm not going to be terribly bothered by it.

Let's see what happens in Game 5. It might be that he's simply better at home than on the road, at this point. Still, at least he cleaned up the turnovers. Perhaps we should have just left him on the bench until the 4th quarter, lol.

2) I hope the game on Saturday (I'm assuming a game 7) is the late one, since I have Red Sox tickets for the afternoon. My son has gotten baseballs at the last two games we went to (in San Diego and then Arizona; that kid has a four-leaf clover up his word-that-will-get-deleted) and he thinks he'll get another one, so there's no way I'm getting out of that game.

3) Okay, seriously, the Cs didn't lose this game because of a play before halftime, or Brown's turnover or the officiating - In fact, I'm guessing that there is a bucksblog.com somewhere where everyone is writing, "We won that game despite the refs being out to get us." We lost because they shot 52/44/75. We need to go into lockdown mode on defense.

Any way you slice it, I'm psyched for next year. Starting five of Irving/Hayward/Horford/Brown/Tatum? How great does that sound? And for those of you who don't know, each team only gets injured a certain number of times per decade, and since we used up all of our injuries this year, we don't have to worry about any more next year.

Over the last decade, the Cs have had enough injuries for several decades. And going forward, I'm operating with the expectation that the Cs will have a new batch of injuries to deal with next season.

In the heat of the game, we have our young 2nd year player who put up 34 points wanting to go for the kill and get the score that wins the game for us.  He was in the open court trying to make a play at the biggest point of the game.  He gets a pass from me on that.  He was fouled.  Blown call by the ref.

Without him we would have been completely blown out in the first half, wouldn't have even needed to think about coming back.

It stings a lot. But better here than a year from now when it actually matters.

And how about Jaylen going neck in neck against Giannis.

Larkin 0 points and -14. He is the target of the Milwaukee offense. Larkin is killing us. Marcus we need you bad.

Leftover thoughts from this game: that play with 40 seconds left where we turned it over shows me a team and a coach that want to win the game with offense, not with defense.

The high percentage play here is to hold the ball, get a good shot, and if you miss -- prepare to defend the last possession. Even call a TO if you have to set up a play (we had 2 in the pocket).

Please provide a video of Jaylen getting fouled on that turnover.

The NBA announces the Bucks should have been called for a foul on Jaylen Brown’s drive in the final minute. Middleton hit his arm.

Of course. Thanks for nothing, NBA.

Refs read these reports. Maybe they'll give JB more cred next time.

It only was the play that swung the game. Incompetent nba officials.

Of course. Thanks for nothing, NBA.

Not only that, but it also determined that Giannis got away with a charge in the final two minutes. That’s literally two game-changing calls that the refs got wrong, the Middleton foul likely costing us a five point swing!

THIS IS WHY WE NEED COACH’S CHALLENGES. The refs literally - not figuratively, literally - lost this game for us due to their incompetence and might’ve affected the outcome of this entire series.

By the way, love the response that Brown gave on Twitter to this report. I mean, what’s the point of these reports if (a) it’s not improving the officiating (it clearly isn’t), and (b) teams are not allowed any recourse or ability to mediate this officiating incompetence?

Even more frustrating....  If we were home we get those calls.
Nba refs need to be impartial.

If you are still looking David Portnoy posted a video on his twitter. I find him irritating as hell, but he's right on this one.

If we were home, breathing on Giannis would be considered a foul.
