Game Notes
The Celtics return to Milwaukee once again with a 3-2 lead in the series and a chance to close out the series in 6 games.  They are coming into this game with confidence from a big win at home, but neither team has won on the road in this series.  The Bucks were a good home team in the regular season with a 25-16 record.  The Celtics were a better team on the road with a 28-13 record. 

Since 2002, 29 of the 30 teams in the NBA have won at least one first round series.  The only team not to win a series over that span is the Milwaukee Bucks.  It has been 17 years since they have made it to the second round.  That drought and the fact that they are down in the series 3-2 and facing elimination will make them the more desperate team.  I expect them to come out strong with a mission to take the series to a Game 7. 

John Henson is once again listed as doubtful.  Tyler Zeller has been starting for them at center with Thon Maker and Jabari Parker getting more minutes in Henson's absence.   They may decide to make a change after their loss in Game 5 or they may stick with the lineup that got them the two wins in Milwaukee in Games 3 and 4. 

Brad Stevens made a surprising change to his starting lineup in Game 5 that paid dividends.  He moved Semi Ojeleye to the starting lineup to defend against Giannis Antetokounmpo.  Semi held Giannis to his lowest point total of the series.  I expect Semi to get the start in this game as well unless Brad has another surprise up his sleeve. 

Marcus Smart was cleared to play in Game 5 and he made an immediate impact, especially on the defensive end.  He was a bit rusty from 6 weeks off and hopefully he can trim down the 5 turnovers he committed in his first game back.  Gordon Hayward, Daniel Theis and Kyrie Irving remain out for the Celtics. 

Key Matchups

Semi Ojeleye vs Giannis Antetokounmpo
Once again, as in the first 4 games the matchup with Antetokounmpo is key.  So far in the series, he is averaging 25.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 7.0 assists.  He is shooting 60.5% from the field and 37.5% on 3 pointers.   Semi held him to 16 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists in game 5 and hopefully can keep him off his game in this one as well. 

(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Tatum_Jayson_bos17.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Middleton_Khris_mil1617.jpg)
Jayson Tatum vs Khris Middleton
Middleton has come up big for the Bucks in all 4 games so far.  He is averaging 25 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists.   He is shooting 57% from the field and a ridiculous 60% from beyond the arc.   It goes without saying that the Celtics need to do a better job defending Middleton and if they do, they give themselves a better chance to win the game.

(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Rozier_Terry_bos17.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Bledsoe_Eric_phx17.jpg)
Terry Rozier vs Eric Bledsoe
This has been a testy matchup from the beginning.  Rozier has out-played Bledsoe in the first four games which has gotten into Bledsoe's head a bit, causing him to pick up a flagrant foul in game 5.  Rozier is averaging 16.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists while Bledsoe is averaging 12.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists.  Terry needs to once again come up big against Bledsoe for the Celtics to get a win.

Honorable Mention
Celtics Bench vs Bucks Bench
In the Celtics 3 wins, the Celtics reserves averaged 31.6 points to 26 points for the Bucks reserves.  In the Celtics 2 losses, their reserves averaged just 22.5 points to 39.5 points from the Bucks reserves. They played well at home and didn't show up on the road.   The Celtics are once again on the road and they will need their reserves to play much better in this game than they did in the first 2 games in Milwaukee if they want to win this game.  Having Marcus Smart back should help. 

Keys to the Game
Defense - The Celtics led the league in defensive rating for the entire regular season but in the first 4 games, that defense was nowhere to be found.   They allowed the Bucks to shoot 54% from the field and 44% from beyond the arc in those first 4 games.   We finally saw the Celtics defense we came to love in the regular season in Game 5 where the Celtics limited the Bucks to 36.8% from the field and 27.3% from beyond the arc.  Whether it was the return of Marcus Smart, or Semi Ojeleye starting, or some other adjustment that Brad made,  hopefully they keep it up in this game. 

Rebound - Next to defense, rebounding is a big key to winning.  So far, the Celtics have done a good job on the boards.  The Celtics are averaging 44.2 rebounds for the series, compared to 38.0 for the Bucks.   It takes effort to rebound and when the Celtics put out that extra effort to get rebounds, it usually translates to other areas of their game.   The Celtics must continue to crash the glass as a team and give even more effort on the boards.

Be Aggressive - The Celtics have to be the team that wants the game more.  They have to be aggressive in going after loose balls and on defense and going to the basket and grabbing rebounds.   The Celtics were the more aggressive team in Games 1 and 2 but the Bucks were the more aggressive team in Games 3 and 4.  The Celtics were once again more aggressive in Game 5.  They have to keep that aggressive mindset on the road and not let the Bucks outplay them. 

Play Team Ball -  When the Celtics move the ball and find the open man,  they are tough to beat.  The Celtics had just 17 assists in Game 3 to 28 for the Bucks.  The Bucks are averaging 22.8 assists per game vs 21.0 assists for the Celtics.  The Celtics need to move the ball and trust each other and not lapse into hero ball. They have to play unselfish Celtics team basketball. 

Limit Turnovers - After turning the ball over 15 times to 20 for the Bucks in Game 1, and having 5 turnovers to 15 for the Bucks in Game 2,  the Celtics had 16 turnovers to 9 for the Bucks in Game 3. In Game 4, the Celtics had just 8 turnovers to 9 for the Bucks.  And, in Game 5, the Celtics had 17 turnovers to 11 for the Bucks.  Turnovers were one of the reasons for the game being much closer than it should have been.  The Celtics need to take better care of the ball if they want to win on the road. 

Play 48 Minutes -  In the two games in Milwaukee, especially in Game 4, the Celtics played well during stretches but they also had a time in the second quarter when they played very poorly on both ends of the court.   The Celtics can't afford to have a let down during games in the playoffs.  They must play hard and play smart from the opening tip until the final buzzer.   The Bucks will be quick to take advantage of any lapse in the Celtics' effort or play. 

X-Factors
Coaching - So far, through the first 5 games this series has been a chess match with each coach making adjustments between games.  Both have changed starters and have adjusted their rotations.  Brad inserted Semi Ojeleye in the starting lineup and it definitely gave the Celtics an advantage.   Brad needs to have the Celtics playing their hardest and continue to make adjustments to counter those made by the Bucks. 

On the Road - The Celtics were a good road team this season with a 23-18 record away from home.  The Bucks were also pretty good at home with a 25-16 home record.  In Games 3 and 4 in Milwaukee, the Celtics couldn't seem to get going on offense and definitely not on defense.  They need to stay focused on playing their game and not let the hostile environment distract them.  The Bucks' young players play much better at home and so the Celtics need to be ready for them with tougher defense. 
 
Marcus Smart - Smart made a surprise return to the court in Game 5 and immediately made a difference.  He dove on the floor for loose balls, blocked shots, got in the passing lanes, played tough defense and generally just did a little bit of everything.  The play where he was on the floor with 3 Bucks on top of him and he somehow got the ball to Al Horford for an easy layup was probably one of the most Marcus Smart plays I've ever seen.  He is always an X-Factor for the Celtics when he is on the court. 

Close Out Game -  Close out games are always the toughest to win.  The opponent is always fired up and very motivated to stay alive in the series.  The Bucks will be under the most pressure because they know if they lose, that's it for their playoff run.  Hopefully the Celtics are just as motivated to get a win and not relax because they know they have another chance at home in Game 7.  The Celtics need to give it their all to close out this game now because Philly is sitting at home waiting for one of these teams to advance.   

Officiating - Officiating is always an X-Factor.  Games 1, 2 and 3 were officiated fairly well without a lot of controversy.  However, Games 4 and 5 ended up with some very controversial calls and non calls down the stretch.  I know that refs are human and can't see everything,  but sometimes it seems like they are officiating with an agenda.  Hopefully they call this game evenly and let both teams play.

This is gonna be a fight. The key to me is if we can slow down Middleton, or if his percentages can finally come back to Earth on their own.

If we reduce them to a one-man show I don't think the Bledsoe/Parker/Brogdon group can get enough baskets to get them over the top.  Middleton scored a few times on Smart early last game but Marcus still defended him very well.  Having Smart and Semi zero in on Middleton and Giannis and the rest of our guys helping and recovering to their perimeter guys seems crucial.

That assume he gets on the floor. I don't see it happening as things been going right now. Buck's quickness hurts us, which has led to our recent changes in line-ups.

LETS GO C'S!!! FINISH THEM!! ;D

Simply put, the C's can't afford to fall behind by 15+ at any point of this game if they really want to win. Credit to them for coming back late in Game 4 and giving themselves a chance, but I doubt it will happen again IF they do fall behind that much.

I hope Brad Stevens calls the timeout QUICKLY if MIL starts going on a run early. Can't let them dominate and gain a ton of momentum early as well. In both Games 3 and 4, the C's started off decent until MIL started creaming them late in the 1st and all through the 2nd quarters. Particularly late in the 1st quarter, CBS tends to call the timeout a little too late (with MIL getting an extra 5-6 points from 2-3 extra 'made' possessions) 

I have a feeling the C's do put out a complete effort tonight though. Hopefully it results in a win and sets us up with a date with Philly  8)

PS - Oh, and despite being a Middleton fan, can he PLEASE not shoot like Ray Allen again tonight??  :P

If we limit the effectiveness of Middleton then we win going away.  He's arguably been their best player this series.

He's been insane. Averaging 25/6/4 so far these playoffs on 57% shooting along with 2 steals/game (!!)

But Marcus Smart comes back, and Middleton shoots 42% from the field in Game 5 and has 23 points (9-21 shooting). Still good, but not as great as his first four games (fairly "average" for Middleton). Hopefully a similar trend follows in Game 6.

Agreed, Giannis will put up his numbers, but so long as we *contain* Middleton and Brogdon, we should be fine. (And we better be scoring as well. Can't afford LARGE stretches of scoreless basketball on the road again)

I think we have officially reached the point where Brad has figured everything out in terms of adjustments.  I love how we match up defensively with Semi in the starting lineup.  It's 100% on the players to execute tonight.

It would be nice to get off to a good start offensively so that Brad could consider using Monroe.  Monroe's lack of quickness on defense becomes more of an issue when we turn the ball over and fail to get good shots for 4-5 minute stretches.  I believe Monroe can contribute positively for 10-15 minutes if we keep Milwaukee in the half court sets.

My thoughts exactly. And the last thing Smart would do is jeopardize their chances of closing out a playoff series by even taking more than 12 FGA, (his average is 9.5) which I seriously doubt would even happen..

Smart is going to spend twice as more energy guarding Middleton.

Two adjustments I would make if I was MIL. First, just guard Horford one on one in post straight up. Dont foul, dont doube, just put hands up and defend. Hes not a good postplayer, hasn't been his entire career. Make him shoot his little hooks and fall aways. Doubling him just open up passing lanes. Second, play way off smart. Go under pick and rolls. Smart is a 29 percent 3pnt shooter without a splint. Play off him and all of a suddenly his play making ability is hindered and he cant shoot. This gums up celtics offense even more.

Key for the Celtics then would be if Jaylen/Jayson/Terry can create enough offense.

Keys to the game:
- Similar performance from Smart
- Limiting Middleton
- somebody else steps up on offense, either Tatum or Morris

Yeah this is going to be a tough game.  We need to play our best to get the win.  Assuming we get 15-20 from Brown, Al, Rozier, we really need some scoring production from Tatum, Morris, and Monroe if he plays.  It is always harder to score on the road.  If Smart can give us some points it is gravy.

This is kind of the same thing that happened last game.  Tatum needs to toughen up on both sides of the ball.  The refs let way more fouls go in the playoffs, gotta adjust accordingly.  Tatum is standing and watching too much instead of blocking out or going for rebounds.  Again like last game, unless we are getting points out of Tatum, he is a net negative right now.

Brown with only 3 shot attempts is absurd, he hasn't taken  a shot since midway through first quarter. They need to find a way to get him the ball in good spots. Our whole offense is everybody else going one on one and jacking up a lot of bad shots.

Jaylen and Tatum have to step up, especially Tatum who has been fairly atrocious on both sides of the ball thus far.

The Bucks D is good, but we could use a point guard that can run plays sometimes.

They've got a lot of length, their D isn't actually good.  The Celts have run out of tricks at this point.  The Celts should be the worst offense in the playoffs with this roster.

Its talent, not effort.  I don’t see a single player out there that can get buckets reliably.  It’s a miracle the team has gotten this far frankly.  These kinds of runs are going to happen.

Very poor finish to be half after a strong start.

Offense doesn’t look great, a little hesitant. Think they need to run the offense through Al whenever he is on the court, especially with Maker in, keeping his length away from the basket.

Brown needs to step it up.

Careless turnovers and a few lazy lapses on defense. Clean that up after half and knock down open shots.

too many stupid/lazy passes against a team that lives off those opportunities for fast breaks.

no fire or sense of urgency with this team.  Tatum's been a real disappointment for games now.  Brown needs to be more of a focus on offense.  Neither Rozier or Smart are really running a cohesive offense at the point.  Even Al isn't having a good game. 

looking like a game 7 is in the cards unless Brad gets them playing with some desire to actually compete and win

Brogdon has just killed tatum over and over again this series.
ugggg

Well, he's certainly been horrible, but why Tatum is guarding him in the first place is beyond me. On the other hand, he wouldn't be any better on Middleton.

If Tatum isn't going to man up and deal with this physical game, he needs to sit on the bench and have Smart take his place.

why are we not finding Middleton every time down and forcing him to be a driver.  He has proven over 6 games that he will stick the 3 over and over again.  We need to make things harder on him.  Get in his face, don't worry about him driving to the lane, that is what we want at this point.

The real bottom line is we are shooting 38%.  We gotta get better looks, and start hitting shots if we want to win this one.  Taking the ball to the hoop and getting fts def helps.

Bucks have been playing downhill all game.  They are hitting 50% on all fgs.  Really tough to win on the road if you are shooting 38% and the home team is hitting 50%.

Al, Jason, Jaylen are the only guys hitting over 40%.  Lets focus our shots on those guys and give ourselves a chance.

Brad needs to go for the win right here.  Morris can sit the rest of the game as he has been totally useless. Go with the starters w/smart instead of Terry. Middleton is eating Terry for lunch when they switch. Switching with Smart out there won't hurt us nearly as much as when Terry is out there

Thanks a lot, Golden Boy Brad. Squandered that entire run with your ill-advised substitution pattern.  >:(

We tie up the game with a magnificent run with tons of momentum, and Brad decides to take out both Al and Brown at the same time. The Bucks subsequently go on a run and lead by 9 in the 2.5 minutes after the substitution.  ::)

Once MM and Smart came in it went downhill.  Our starters were killing it.  Rest is important, but not as important as continuing to play well in a closeout game.

Tragic way to end that quarter. Stevens sleeping on the bench with that lineup.

Just really sad to waste away all that hard work.

What is he supposed to do though, players have to rest at some point and we have no bench.

Don't squander a run by substituting out both Al and Brown at the same time would be a good start. They *literally* went on a run as soon as he made that substitution.

Jesus Christ, Brad, did you really just sit on your effing hands the entire last half of the 4th and let us continue to chuck threes?? WE HAD TWO FREAKING TIMEOUTS LEFT AND YOU DID NOTHING THAT ENTIRE TIME??

I'm sorry, but Brad COMPLETELY blew this game for us in the second half. If he wasn't over there sitting on his hands letting Morris, Rozier, and even Smart shoot us out of the game with dumb shots and terrible decision-making, he was making dumb substitutions right in the middle of our big run, essentially squandering it.

What a frustrating loss. As good of a coach as he is, he has some MAJOR weak areas during in-game decision-making that really hurt us.

Man, this is definitely a superstar league lol.

Would have loved to see Middleton try to do what he’s doing with Hayward on the court.

The stuff Giannis gets away with is pretty laughable. Between his steps and his shoulders, the guy really is unguardable.

Game 7 here we go.

Jesus Christ, Brad, did you really just sit on your effing hands the entire last half of the 4th and let us continue to chuck threes?? WE HAD TWO FREAKING TIMEOUTS LEFT AND YOU DID NOTHING THAT ENTIRE TIME??

I'm sorry, but Brad COMPLETELY blew this game for us in the second half. If he wasn't over there sitting on his hands letting Morris, Rozier, and even Smart shoot us out of the game with dumb shots and terrible decision-making, he was making dumb substitutions right in the middle of our big run, essentially squandering it.

What a frustrating loss. As good of a coach as he is, he has some MAJOR weak areas during in-game decision-making that really hurt us.

Its what the defense gave them. A lot of them were good shots that we just missed. We tried going to the rim, but with no fouls being called in Brown's drives we have no choice. Milwaukee is so long that its risky going for backdoor plays coz they just interrupt it. What couldve changed perhaps? Shoot better, or Al not being too pass happy in the 4th.

Our guys couldnt make a basket, plus too much morris 1 on 1. Tbf Milwaukee is the same, difference is Giannis has been able to score off of them.

We are feeling the effects of not having Kyrie. Danny also has to get us a shooter of the bench next season, someone that could be Eddie House 2.0

1) He squandered the run to tie it in the 3rd with dumb substitutions, getting us back to a 9 point deficit;

2) He essentially did nothing to hinder Morris (5-14) and Rozier (5-17) from shooting us out of the game in the second half when they clearly were bad shots and he had already warned the team about that type of offense after the first half;

3) We ended the game with two timeouts, yet he didn't do anything in the second half of the 4th but watch the team continuously jack up long threes, most of them being above the break.

The dude just struggles with in-game adjustments and substitutions. He regularly overvalues rest and kills our momentum by doing so, e.g. Al playing only 33 minutes in a close-out game and Brad taking him out after tying the game in the third, leading to the nine point deficit going into the fourth. That stuff is just inexcusable.

We have a coin flip game 7 to look forward to.  Crowd was a massive plus for the Bucks tonight.  I expect it to be even bigger for us on Saturday.  Rozier, Brown, and Tatum have never had to lead their team in a closeout game before.  It'll be the hardest thing any of them have done to this point in their careers.  Win or lose, it will be a learning experience.

Ok, people, let's calm down a little bit.

This team, without Kyrie and Hayward is going to have a hard time in the offensive end.

I give the Bucks some credit. They play hard. They have Giannis and Middleton (a very underrated guy). Brogdon is a very smart player. We were closing the game with Horford and two rookies, a sophomore and a third-year player.

I hope we win on Saturday (and I think we have a good chance), but if we don't I already saw what wanted to see: Jaylen and Jayson having big minutes in the playoff and handling them just fine.

We're going to be fine. Next year is gonna be awesome. Let's win on Saturday though :)

But yeah, easier to blame the coach than look at the open shots we missed and the tough shots Milwaukee made.  ::)

1) You keep saying this, but it simply isn't true. They made one bucket and were up 2 when Brown and Al went out. They subsequently went on an 11-4 run the rest of the quarter. But, sure, it was happening before they went out and clearly had nothing to do with that terrible substitution.

2) Uh, yes, you sit Rozier and Morris, specifically Morris who was worse, when they do that crap. We could've survived without them and probably would've been better off with them on the bench rather than them continuing to jack up terrible shots and losing us possessions.

And, no, you simply play your better players more minutes. It's inexcusable that Horford and Tatum only played 33 and 32 minutes in a winnable close-out game. That's terrible coaching with what he was having out there instead.

3) There weren't any timeouts - that's the entire point. We ended with two timeouts left, yet Brad just let them continue to jack up long threes to end the game. Simply sitting on your hands and only talking to your team at tv timeouts or when the other coach actually does his job and calls a timeout is not sufficient. Hell, at the very least it would've stifled their run, but naw.

But, yes, keep up with the Brad apologism, even when he shares a ton of the blame. Clearly he does no wrong.

This dude could come out, take a sledgehammer to Kyrie's knees, and some of you would still be making excuses for him. It's really baffling.

Go Cs.

Thank you for a reasonable take.  TP!.  You are right, it is hard closing out a series on the road.  Against a team whose 3 top shooters (Brogdon, Greek, Middleton) hit 25/38 from the field = 66% from the field.  It is just almost impossible to win when we shoot 38% and those main guys are hitting shots like that.  I thought our def in general was better in the 2nd half.  Guys were hustling, competing, but we just couldn't shoot.

It will change once we are back in Boston.  I like our chances.

This is pretty much the Washington series all over last year. I just don’t trust the guys the bucks have in that setting Saturday night

You have to be a killer to win a game seven roadie. I do not see any killers on that team...esp on the road. In Milwaukee is easy for them

Highly doubt the bucks are mentally strong enough or prepared for what they are about to walk into Saturday night.
I sadly think they'll hold up better than you think.  they didn't look mentally weak tonight in a must-win game 6

That was in Milwaukee. Doing it in Boston is a another level. Boston doesn’t lose game sevens at home

Orlando Magic beat the Boston Celtics in Game 7 at the Garden back in 2009. And that year was when KG was injured. Eerily similar series here.

This game never felt right again fron the start.

CBS sensed this from the start too with his quick time out

Bucks were swarming and crazy energy ,  to me looked like Celtics were gonna get run over any minute . 

The bucks back were against the wall .  They said as much and just kept coming at the Celtics like crazy with ball pressure .  The Celtics could not get in a rhythm ,  the Buck intensity was just crazy.
I felt,like 100 bucks players were on the floor .  and the Celtics were on the verge of being blownout any second .

Bucks played like it was do or die ,  the Celtics seemed to,be backing up or reeling from the Bucks intensity .

Never seemed to,me the Celtics could gain comtrol,of pace or could they fully match the endless,energy of the freak .

Their desperate energy was too much and it swallowed upd the Celtics .

it won't be easy for them but if Boston wins it won't be because Milwaukee plays intimidated by the setting.


I think the Celtics win by double digits.
will enjoy seeing that come to pass.

I am the most pessimistic Person on this board. But I feel good about game seven

Perhaps it was a bad draw for the Celtics getting the Milwaukee Bucks in the playoffs...having no answer for The Greek and Middleton lol.

Maybe the Wizards would have been the better choice, eh.

The bucks are better at home than Celtics on road.  Celtics been decent road team, but Bucks really like that home cooking for sure.

A playoffs series don't start until you win on the road.

The Celtics' playoffs haven't even started yet, and probably won't this year.
since neither team has won on the road, i am not sure what you are talking about here.

p.s. celtics in seven!!!!  ;D

I held hope until the end that we would win because we won the first quarter and so far, in this series, the team that won the first quarter always won the game but the streak came to an end. Too many missed shots and costly turnovers to turn the game around, which is a shame because we started well.

Guys like Bledsoe, Snell and Maker should play poorly on a decisive game 7 on the road but since it's a do or die game, you never know what could happen... it's risky. Still, despite the outcome, it will be a great learning experience for Jaylen and Tatum (who has looked bad for 2 games in a row).

Following that logic, and hopefully, for us, this series will end before it begins.  :D

We just can’t afford to have 3-4 minute gaps without a FG. Fortunately the celtics play waaayyyy differently at home than away, way more post ups of giannis, brogdon and drew bledsoe. That is the key for me. Run it throught the post!

I don't understand why nobody stood out on the Celts. My man Smart was non-existant. Horford was absent in the 4th. JB was absent in the 1st half. Morris couldn't hit anything. Rozier was more concerned about beating Drew Bledsoe. Too many bad offensive possessions with occasional bad shots that somehow went in (Tatum). Rebounding was bad. Hearing a caller on NBA radio saying Stevens is being outcoached. I mean there is NOTHING positive that came out of last night's game. Usually there is something you can take from a loss. There is NOTHING from last night that I can take. The Bucks have a lot they can take away: Snell, Parker, Maker and even Dellevedova didn't play that well and they still won going away. All I can hope for now is the Garden crowd to rock on Saturday and pull this win out for us. We can't lose to this Bucks team. They really are not good.

gaps in scoring is where Kyrie and Gordon were supposed to take care of.   

The rest of the team are too streaky on offense .    Sporadic scorers .  Last year AB was the worst , 15 points one quarter and then could not make a layup for the next three. 



scoring droughts without the star s is their achilles heal.
