Celtics (2-1) at Bucks (1-2) Game #4 4/22/18

So we aren't in OT because we rolled a ball right to Dellevedova for him to pick up and score 2 right before half.

That p!sses me off.

Worst play call ever. I was expecting a 3 pt attempt for the win but a play with that difficulty fir a tie?  Horrible. Wish we made those early free throws now huh?

[RockinRyA]

Stayed up for this crap!

Can't wait for Smart to come back and cut minutes of Rozier and Larkin.

[Beat LA]

Reba's not the worst Colonel Sanders of all time by any means. or is she?

She's just weird, imo, whereas the rest are both strange and awful, lol.

Rather have gone for the 3 then that Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. possession

Disappointing that they chose to go to Morris on the most important possession of the game.  Not getting the ball in the hands of Horford, Brown, or Tatum is a mistake, plain and simple.

I don't think he was the first option, though.

Surely Brad wanted to get that to anyone else, but the Bucks made sure that it couldn't get there. Morris had the entire right side to himself. With no timeouts left, you're left with no choice.

[Atzar]

Lots of hindsight bias in here right now.

We got Morris in a one-on-one situation where he had a size advantage.  He got a clean look and missed it.  It happens.

You can complain about Brown not getting the shot, Tatum not getting the shot, whatever, but nobody is crying if he hits that.

I’d like to see the replay on the Jaylen steal.  Would be very surprised if it was all ball.

So I just looked at the replay and Jaylen was CLEARLY fouled.

[PhoSita]

Winnable game.  Bucks are clearly an inferior team.  Celts are just missing too many of their most important pieces.

What frustrates me is knowing that a significant portion of the media will talk about this series as though the Celts weren't missing a bunch of guys.  They'll talk about how great Giannis is and they'll talk about the Celts offense just not being that good.

But bottom line I think it's clear this would be a 5 game series if the Celts weren't missing 4 of their best 8-9 players.

[slamtheking]

really?  with the way Brown and Tatum have been shooting (and Al), they go with ice-cold Morris?

What are you talking about? They were guarded.  Every Brad play has options.  I guarantee you that was not option 1.  Geez, this board....

That was a decent look.

exchange Brown or Tatum for where Morris was on the floor for that play or set better screens to get them open.  Morris may not have been option 1 but they should have worked harder to get the ball to someone who had a hotter hand than Morris

Or we missed so many free throws in the first half.

[blink]

I have to give huge props to the C's today.  They were getting out hustled, out muscled, just totally getting abused.  In that 2nd half, we found our toughness, played pretty great D, and Jaylen and Jason were both clutch over and over again.  I know we lost, but what an effort by the C's....Go get them in game 5, and then get another chance at Mil.

[jpotter33]

So much for having an elite ATO coach. What a dumb, dumb final play decision.

This team is so frustrating right now. Poor decision-making by both the players and the coaching lost us this game down the stretch.

Fantastic comeback attempt

Its all good

like the kid told lebron in boston


GOOD JOB  GOOD EFFORT after we beat teh heat in game 4 i think in boston

we win game 5 in miami but lose in 7

maybe we win this in 7 now after our good comeback effort

[Yoki_IsTheName]

That is the most stupid possession in the Brad stevens era.

Why not go with JB. Or just draw the same play with Al.

Because they were guarded, heavily.

With no timeouts, you have no options at that point but to make a pass.
