Celtics (1-0) at Bucks (0-1) Round 2 Game 2 4/30/19

Bucks at least answered PP's question about ..... 'where do the Bucks go from here'?

Tatum SERIOUSLY needs benched. Not only is he a complete no-show tonight, but his defensive effort has been putrid. Mirotic completely outworked him on those offensive boards, with him not even jumping half of the time.

Honestly, I'd start Hayward over Tatum moving forward, especially if Smart comes back in the next two games. He's simply not helping out there and is actively hurting with his p--- poor defense. He's been such a disappointment this year.

How many timeouts did Stevens call during the 28-2 run ?

Technically there were two.  I guess the third would have been the magic pill.

That's ludicrous, you call more than that on an embarrassing run like 28-2. When has 28-2 ever even happened in the playoffs ?
Not even the famous 1986 Celts third quarter vs Hawks.

Says who?  At what point do you blame the players for playing like garbage?

Yabu on the break.  may be the highpoint of the game for the C's

As soon as I see their coach lighting them up.

I hate Chris Webber even more after this game. I didn't think it was possible.

KYRIE showed bad leadership tonight. When your shots are not falling you have to facilitate.

I actually do think he needs to adjust his approach against the Bucks.  He’s a bit too willing to play 1-on-5.  This isn’t the first game he’s had like this against the Bucks.  He allows himself to get swallowed, to the point where there aren’t even any passing lanes.  The result is a turnover or one of these fading moonshots that not even he can hit reliably.

He’ll work on it.

I would definitely start Hayward over Tatum, especially with Morris starting. Morris played well, but he and Tatum are both poor passers, as is Brown

Can't wait to see Tatum outta here for Davis lol

Boycott Paul Pierce

Marv and Webber are idiots.  Webber gets Williams mixed up with Semi and Marv thinks Williams was a second round pick

Yup.  Fan solution to everything is to yell at the players. Ha ha.

I mean, this is as bad as we have looked all year, and we're clearly out of whack and sync right now; yet Brad is over there literally just straight-faced, hoarding his timeouts like it's going to matter later in the fourth. God, so frustrating.

Between the p--- poor shot selection all night by Kyrie, Rozier, and Tatum and the lack of effective in-game management from the coaching staff, this team can be really, really dumb at times. It's embarrassing.

Time outs not the magic elixir.  He already called one anyway.  At some point the players have to produce.

Yeah, you always say that, but it's simply not true. They ended on a 24-4 run, with us having more turnovers than I can even remember during that run. You seriously think a timeout wouldn't have benefited us to get us an easy bucket for an ATO play?? And besides, what the hell are you saving them for anyways in a blowout game??

He called a time out?!? How many more you want?

MORE THAN ONE! He has four timeouts left in a freaking thirty point blowout. What else is he going to use them for?? You realize that he can call more than one timeout in a quarter, right??

Well technically he had two timeouts.  Didn’t do squat.

I mean, then you keep calling them. It's not that difficult. To not call them means that they just continue reeling in their futility. Keeping those timeouts for late in the game means jack squat if you have no chance of coming back anyways.

Im sorry but that’s ridiculous.  Players simply have to play better.  Zero to do with the coach.

I mean, by your perception of what a coach's responsibilities are, I'm not even sure that they need a coach. 

Seriously, what it is that you think that NBA coaches do, because clearly you don't think that in-game management is part of their job description?
