Nice play by Monroe there

Beginning of the comeback!

We need halftime to regroup and at least play better in the 2nd half so we can take some positives out of this game. We can't allow them to blow us out by 30 or they will have tons of momentum on Sunday

Terry and Morris are absolute no-shows tonight.

Where the hell is Al?! He's only played 13 minutes...

Stevens gave up when he let them go on a 15-0 run in the first quarter before calling a timeout

This is bad basketball.  Forget the refs.  Not taking care of the ball, not driving, not shooting well.  Not defending well, especially on the perimeter. 

If we feel like getting blown out, keep doing exactly what you're doing.

This big lineup forcing Bucks I to long 2s and contested 3s I like it. Just falling now for the Bucks

I'm 100% convinced that Middleton is playing this game on Rookie with all the offensive/shooting sliders at 100

[droopdog7]

Can we stop whining about the refs please.  We’re getting our rear ends kicked and have like, 15 turnovers and a shooting like 10% from three.  Refs are not causing those stats.

Give Jaylen ball and get out of the way. So annoying seeing Rozier dribble the ball down and then chuck a contested shot.

[Spilling Green Dye]

law of averages - might as well let the Bucks get all of their insane 3's out this game.  Let Giannis think he's a 3pt shooter. 

The only thing I am worried about moving forward is the length and quick rotations of the Bucks.  The are playing really aggressive.  But if the Celtics next game attack the rim (and Scott Foster isn't there) then that should help neutralize the Buck's D a bit.

I'll settle for stopping the bleeding

We need to win at least one quarter

Yeah, that was pretty inexcusable. Not sure what the hell he was doing. Literally hadn't been a timeout in the game, yet he waited two to three scoring possessions too long before calling a timeout.

He has a tendency to be bad at doing that, but good Lord in the first quarter with all of your timeouts still??

[blink]

We have had bigger comebacks...not over til its over...

but we need to stop playing scared.  Make strong cuts, set tough screens, if the refs make bad calls, outta our hands.

Exactly. TP.

see my post above. not same team

really? 

[mr. dee]

Everything is hitting for the Bucks. Opposite for us. It happens. Game is not yet over, but they gotta play with intensity for the next half. Reduce turnovers and move the ball.

They're not causing it, but they're not helping. We would be getting killed with the refs calling a fair game, but instead the refs are adding to it by Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ting all over the game

we have NOT had bigger comebacks with this squad currently. you are forgetting 3 others who are hurt NOT counting GH

So the one with the OKC didn't count?

were we missing kyrie, smart, theis that game?

So the Celtics just shouldn't try because you don't think they can come back?
weak.

What a disappointing showing by the Celtics
