Celtics (29-8) at Bucks (25-12) Game #38 1/11/24

[SparzWizard]

OT game last night and Bucks well rested and at home. Their offense will pulverize this tired defense.

Prediction: Bucks take this one so just rest the starters a bit.

I do not expect much from Boston tonight. They know who they are. This is a game the Bucks gotta have to feel better about themselves.

Bucks will play like it is the ECF with Giannis doing his fake tough mean mugging act.

I think the C’s will come out strong partly because it’s Milwaukee and also because this game will be important to Jrue in his return.

The Bucks will have a big rest advantage. C's on second night of a back to back traveling from Boston to Milwaukee after a high intensity OT game last night. Meanwhile Bucks last played Monday at home so they are well rested sleeping in their own beds last few days. That's about as big a rets advantage as you can get.

That said, Tatum/Brown are on fire and Milwaukee has NO perimeter defenders. All Boston has to do is get a Tatum/Brown switch onto Lillard and Beasley and they will get good offense.

So I kind of think its a high scoring game, with Boston looking tired on defense but Milwaukee unable to stop Boston's perimeter attack.

Honestly, it’s not even like a switch is always necessary. As good of a defender as Giannis is, he’s not really a perimeter defender and has no shot of staying in front of either of the Jays on the perimeter, as demonstrated last game. Same goes with Middleton after the injuries.

And it's a nationally televised game. Players more often than not show up for those.

With our guys less time to think about the bucks game is prob better.  I think we play well tonight.

Game Time!

[SCeltic34]

Talk about a carry by Giannis.

[jpotter33]

Lovely start. Ugh. But we're getting good shots. Brown should  abuse Lillard all night.

[jpotter33]

Weak call.

We're going to have to start making some of these open shots.

[Phantom255x]

Ugh, but still early

[blink]

that is what we CANT do.   got to stop Giannis from getting a big head of steam

[jpotter33]

KP!
