Though I picked the Celts to win in 6, game 4 is a must-win. No way in hell, they're going to be able to beat Milwaukee in three consecutive games. In fact, if the Celts don't win game 4, the series is likely over in game 5.It's been a must-win since Game 2, and they failed to capitalize. They got shellacked in Milwaukee, and took that beating back home with them.what p---ed me off is that the game was going back and forthThen Giannis put on a chokehold ... and in a blink of an eye , it became a 10 point leadHe dominated at the paint in both ends ... and bucks played D out the 3 pt lineWhere the F was the 2 point mid range shots that were available??Celtics followed a good game plan in game 1 by doing these things aboveBut in game 2 and 3 start to wilt and lose focusthis starts with the coaching staff

what also ticks me off is that , that dummy Tony Mazz was 100 percent rightlets see what the Celts can do , once its down 10-15. If the team can dig their way out of itand the team can't against a good team like the Bucks (and in many instances in the regular season)Not a sign of a true champion contender
68 free throws is a crap NBA game.

Danny Ainge that buffoon missed out on picking up Enes Kanter from the buyout market. 18/15 tonight, he would've been valuable in helping trap Giannis down low and provide some interior scoring on the other end.And make a legitimate case run to the NBA Finals.

This year, not so much. It's frustrating. I mean, nobody really left from last year and they got themselves the addition of Irving and Hayward. They lost the "it" mentality.

If the league is just going to lose any of its remaining credibility and stick to all of this extreme level of star favoritism with the officiating, then we need to add another marketable star to the team to give us more leverage with the officials.Unfortunately, at this point I'm not sure if Tatum alone (with all of the other fillers) is enough, and it may require Brown to get in on the mix, too, which is not ideal, as he's a good fit at the 2 in that potential lineup.Who could beat our Tatum + fillers offer though? Unless NY win the Zion sweepstakes? Surely LA can't beat our offer.I would take Zion over Tatum. I would take Doncic over Tatum. I’m sure there are probably other offers too.But given that the only team with a decent chance at getting Zion who would trade him for Davis is the Knicks, and that the Mavs arent trading Doncic, the point stands. With the Lakers diminished assets a Tatum plus stuff package is probably still the ebst the Pels will get.

Now the Celtics are going to be viewed as "whiners"/"sore losers" for blaming the officials tonight. Kyrie, Tatum...eh.Even though I know the officiating was horrible tonight, just looking at the FT disparity. But some of the loss has to do with bad execution and coaching, too.
An odd, and disappointing, disparity that I noticed while looking at the shot chart was the Celtics took 14 mid-range jumpers (Tatum going 5/6; the rest of team 2/8) vs. the Bucks 5 (2/5). That and the C's seemingly can't finish within 3-feet of the hoop.

Kyrie, Tatum...eh.Even though I know the officiating was horrible tonight, just looking at the FT disparity. But some of the loss has to do with bad execution and coaching, too.32 FTAs vs. 36 FTAs with the Celtics actually making more FTs (30 to 24). Complain about that and you'll sound like an idiotic sour loser. Maybe if the Celts aggressively tried to get to the basket throughout the game there'd have been a different result.

And you know what helped that FT disparity?GOING TO THR BASKET! What d’ya know. What a crock, I don’t understand why they settle and settle and settle.
