Bucks (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round 1 Game 1 4/15/18

[RJ87]

Guys just need to play smart. Protect the basketball, move the ball and attack the paint when there's a seam, and give consistent effort.

I will say this. Brad Stevens vs. Joe Prunty is a huge mismatch in this series in favor of us.

Even if Bucks win today or this series, I still they just look so inconsistent and at times really disorganized. With a healthy team I think we honestly sweep them even with the Greek Freak on their side.

i miss smart so bas, i hope we stici long enough for him to return. Just a classic game where he would make a huge difference, especially as a starter

Need to stop playing lazy offense taking long jump shots that lead to Milwaukee run outs

[hpantazo]

Morris 2 for 9 from the field, and Monroe no shots in the 1st half. Those two guys are our offense in the 2nd unit. That''s what has to change.

[RJ87]

Al Horford has to take more the 3 shots. That's just completely unacceptable. I know, I know... #intangibles... But we need to be more aggressive.

[footey]

We just need to hit a couple of 3s to get control. Stop them in transition.

Looking forward to a strong second half.

Morris settles so much on the jump shot.

Yeah I agree.

He's valuable to this team with his intangibles but considering our team is decimated and we're missing our two best scorers, I'd at least expect Horford to put up 18-22 points.

I'm not expecting Anthony Davis numbers but Horford has to be more aggressive on the scoring end of things too.

I like the Celtics chances, only down 3!

He's Antoine Walker 2.0

Charles Barkley is an idiot...he says Tatum and Brown miss Hayward. Can you miss what you never had or what you had for five minutes out of a 7 month season?

That may not be exactly right but those guys would definitely be better if Hayward and Kyrie were playing.  They’re not ready to be stars.

It was patently stupid to argue that all of a sudden Brown and Tatum miss the production they had from Hayward. They never had that opportunity. This is more about Kyrie and Smart..to throw in Hayward without mentioning Smart was patently stupid, and just a crude attempt to justify the take he has had since five minutes into the season that Boston is a bad team. It's a shame he gets paid all that money to be an idiot

They can't match up with our bigs in the post.  Morris, Horford, Baynes, and Monroe are just bigger and stronger than all of their bigs.  We have to feed the post, play inside out and bang, bang, bang.  Hurt them.  Make Parker and Giannis absorb contact on the defensive end.  Wear them down.....

To a lesser extent, Jaylen can do the same thing to Middleton all series long.  We're stronger, use it.

We gotta do a better job getting him the ball too.

First team to limit turnovers will win this game.

Cs were also 2-11 from 3 that quarter. Only down 3. Water has to find it's level at some point right???

Stay aggressive, limit turnovers, clean the glass.

Big quarter coming up. Need Rozier to step up.
