Losing this intentionally so MIL plays PHI first round.

Chess, not checkers 

Exactly. Lose the battle and win the war when the bucks get bounced in round one.

It is weird actively playing a team that you want to beat you. Not only for playoff matchups, but it's best to keep MIL at 2/3, so they have a higher chance of being knocked out before we face them. Playing the Sixers, Bucks, and Knicks in our 3 rounds would kind-of be stupid. The 1st seed team shouldn't have to play the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best teams on their way to the Finals

Coming tomorrow from all the talking heads: the bucks are back

Perkins: "THE CELTICS ARE DOOMED"

Yep. Almost a certainty

That's bull and not Celtic Pride. The Bucks will get bounced when we hand them the sweep. And the Sixers too. This is disgusting.

[Silas]

Hard to beat a team that shoots 80% (8/10) from 3.

[Yuckabuck33]

Do y'all really think the Celtics want the Bucks to blow us out TWICE just to draw a better playoff catchup? That shows less confidence than my high school dating life.

Bucks are playing for their spot but we aren't really playing for anything...

[celts55]

Anyone know if the Maine Celtics are on TV?

[Yuckabuck33]

I'm not wasting my time on this farce. Night, guys.

Welp, glad I decided to go fishing instead of watching this nonsense.

[SCeltic34]

Soft defense.

Thanks. At least they’re playing hard

[radiohead]

One quarter and a half and the Bucks have zero fouls. And it’s not like the Celtics aren’t driving hard.

[Silas]

Only 2 fouls called so far...0 against the Bucks.

[SCeltic34]

Tatum can't buy a call.

Maybe it's a good thing.  Going to be more physical in the playoffs.  Can't just assume they're going to blow the whistle.  Although Tatum clearly got fouled on his dunk many plays back.
