Whoever wins this game wins the series.I feel real good about this one. Celtics will bring the intensity from the start with the crowd behind them - Bucks supporting cast will wilt under the pressure. Just have to shoot it halfway decent.

I guess there was much more I could ask for. I'm happy with a pivotal game five. Would be happy with a win, Smart, Good Terry and another monster game for Mr. Brown!
If Smart gets cleared by the doctors today, there's not a doubt in my mind that he'll play tonight. He was itching to play in the second half last game, I can't see him sitting on the bench tonight if he could be playing

Thought I read that his doc appointment was moved up to yesterday and he was cleared to play and is listed as questionable.
I called Ms. Cleo and she said Marcus will suit up for today's game. Only cost me $14.95 to get you this info feel free to leave me a TP. ;D

Because the Sixers are the new media darlings.

Edit: Seriously though, God rest her soul.
This Celtics/Bucks game is the most exciting series, why is it not being broadcast tonight?
Because the Sixers are the new media darlings.
I don't think that's it. More than likely it's because Philly and Miami are major markets, while Milwaukee is not. If we were playing Miami, then it would be Philly on NBATV.

Doesn't every series have at least one game on NBATV? It's just our turn I don't think it has anything to do with market size.
I have no issue if the game is on NBA TV. There is no doubt in my mind that the Celtics would be playing on national television every time, if they were healthy and had at least Kyrie Irving. However, I think being on NBA TV says more about the Greek Freak's lack of marketability as a supposed super star in this league.

Is that for locals only or everyone will get them on NBATV?
I know during the season NBATV usually takes the home broadcast, unless it’s that players only gimmick.
Hope we all get Mike and Tommy tonight, don’t recall ever getting them for a playoff game, or at least not in the last 12-15 seasons.

I'm assuming we get the home team broadcast which is what NBA TV does during regular season. Hope so anyway.

I'm with Miss Cleo right now and she's heard nothing about $14.95.
She is, however, on the phone with her bookie and is giving the 2.5 to the Deer tonight...they'll be needing more like 12.5 by my estimate.
Go C's!

smart to play tonight.

Thrilled that Smart gets this one to get some game play rather than have him playing his first game in an elimination game. Hope he provides a spark and Cs pull this one out
Darn NBATV. I pay for Nba League pass but NBATV is not included. Kind of a ripoff

What??? are you serious? How can that be?
If you have a decent internet connection, you can sign up for sling and add the sports package (which has NBATV) for $5 more a month. You could do that and then cancel after the playoffs.
I have been able to watch almost all the playoff games because sling has TNT, ESPN, and NBATV.
YES!! Not only is Smart coming back tonight, but I finished my last Final exam this morning!! Done for the semester and now have a break for some time!!Good for you Phantom, must feel great. I also finished up my last semester, 30 years ago next month. ;D
Let's go C's! Get the win and make this an even better day. (Also because I think winner of Game 5 wins the series... so yeah... MUST WIN)

I have Sling. I guess i’ll have to look into adding NBATV.
Still, NBATV should be included with my NBA League Pass....in my opinio
So glad Smart is back. This team has a chance against anyone if he plays well.It really is amazing with ALL THE PLAYERS out, I think we almost take it for granted that we should win. Smart, Theis, Irving all out. Am I missing anyone? :'(

Terry playing too fast
Scared of the Bucks' length. Everything is a jumpshot or a fadeaway.Afraid of what? Geez.
And another poor start on offense
I've become shocked anytime Middleton misses now.54% for the series.
Give it to Brown and get out of the way. He can score on anybody at anytime.

Good way to get Tatum going. C’s need him to score.Give it to Brown and get out of the way. He can score on anybody at anytime.

Finally, a post play for Tatum.
I've become shocked anytime Middleton misses now.
Is Brogdon that good, or does Tatum have a ways to go as a defender?
I've become shocked anytime Middleton misses now.54% for the series.
Think the best move is to make him put it on the floor and have to hit the mid range. A lot of shots are just stand still 3s

I am not sure why everyone thought bledsoe was a future star?Ha, ha. Thinking the same thing this series. He’s a pretender.
Dang, is Boston completely incapable of shooting well?

Would love Middleton on BostonReally want Brown to develop a mid-range game like him

His presence has totally transformed our team already!
The bench is like a whole new bench with him.
Agree, but I’m OK with it. He is being aggressive and prolly has some jitters coming back.Having smart as another true ball handler will be big
As long as he cuts back on the turnovers—he just had 3 in 4 minutes of play.
right, when smart is in rozier plays harder on defense. i am sooooo happy smart is back.
MUCH better start by the C's this time!
And I wouldn't mind someone just slamming Dirty Delly to the ground.
Good stuff from Smart so far. I wish he'd slow down a little though. That dive for the ball he had earlier was exactly how he messed up his hand in the first place no?

Yabu?
Should have saved smart and the emotional boost to the 4th Q
Larkin needs to come outSadly this is what happened with IT last year, pick and switch, shoot over little guy
They are getting abused with him on the floor
Larkin is a liability on defense. Really was hoping they would get the lead and keep it healthy.
Maker trying to be KG is hillarious...Watching Baynes toss him aside is awesome
How is that a foul? Maker tried to punch him
Middleton's shooting performance has been unreal in this series. He doesn't miss.I really like middletons game, he'd look good in a better shade of green
He's good, but he's not this good. This is insane.

Can we get Brown back in the game please.Neither Brown nor Tatum should be playing LeBron minutes, but I think they should be at 38+ every game.
He's better than a 6th man though. I always liked him but he's impressed me a lot this series. Stepping up his game when it counts. He could be a nice 3rd banana.Middleton's shooting performance has been unreal in this series. He doesn't miss.I really like middletons game, he'd look good in a better shade of green

Agree. Would be an awesome 6th man
I am really tired of the biased officiating in this series. Just one sided in the biggest moments

That foul when it should have been a jumpball is a ****ing embarrassment for the league
Even if you want to give the Bucks the advantage, you can do it by calling the jumpball between the 7 footer and 5'10" guy. No need to be that clearly biased

Where was the foul there? Just because Giannis throws himself at the ground doesn't mean you have to call a foul
All you guys showing your love fest for Middleton can save it until after the series :)

Giannis is a great player, but this series causing me to hate him because of the treatment from the refs.
terrible def by bledsoe on Brown's last 3 point shot.
keep that D up Drew Bledsoe.
the foul show continues-starsBucks get all the calls
First Brown, and then Tatum! Dyamic duo ready to rock tonight.They really need Tatum to find his shooting groove. Many other parts of his game are still lacking.
and fixed yet again.the foul show continues-starsBucksantetokounmpo get all the calls
FTFY

When did 'the stars get every call' really start? Jordan? Kobe? I seem to remember people fouling Shaq a LOT and getting away with it when he was with LA. It feels like Lebron was one of the first players to really get completely pref treatment from the refs.
Horford fired up

C's have really cranked up the D today. I love it!Smart effect
Man, props to Semi tonight. His job is to check a guy who he's not allowed to touch, but Giannis is allowed to freely run over him. He's doing his best.
Liking Semi on Giannis a lot.The only real rust was a couple of turnovers early. Other than that he's looked fine
Marcus -- no rust?
Playing scared on offense again. C’mon, beat these punks!
Jordan without a doubt, Lebron is only guy I've seen coddled the same by NBA (real problem not refs)Giannis is a great player, but this series causing me to hate him because of the treatment from the refs.

Milwaukee won't shoot like that in the second half. Celtics have gotten lucky in addition to good defense. Hopefully they don't do anything stupid.
Also, Monroe needs to keep on being DNP'd.
really strong first half. much better defensively. we made giannis work for everything that he got.
if we can maintain this intensity I feel we will wear down the bucks and come away with the victory.
marcus smart return has been felt. his intensity on the floor is infectious.

Totally worth it to make a run at 18, though

Good time out
Middleton just has ice in his veins...Has a pierce flavor to his offense. Not the defender Paul was though
That upfake is basically Brown's last hurdle on defense. He's already a great one-on-one defender, but he can lose his discipline at times.It was a lazy way to defend him. Feet glued to the floor after he came down from the upfake.
There is a lot of beef on beef in that Semi - Greek matchup.

How many times do the Bucks get to step out of bounds with no call
**** these refs.
Tatum got killed
Parker travelled
When will Celtics learn to hold the ball and stop these wild fast breaks...and who just got abused by Parker on that rebound?
Freak's screens look just like Al's illegal screen.
Brownnnnn!
Smart is going to be so huge for us. Allows us to go smaller much more often and not hemorrhage points when we go to the bench.
Going to mess around and let these stiffs steal the most important game in the series.
I've never seen a player blocked or stopped
At the rim more than Tatum. Get Jaylen in and give
Hummthe balk please.

The Bucks are straight up gambling with their defense. Doubling the ball and trusting that we can't find the free man. When we do, the shot is wide open.

Terry dives for the steal on the in-bound and somehow gets back to grab the rebound off Maker's 3 attempt. And hits 4 clutch FTs.
Maker hit Rozier in the head 3 times tonight. Just ridiculous.Thug Maker
This Milwaukee team is really unlikeable.

Work? That is a technical foul....do that again and it will cost you 10 TPs...lol
Thought the Cs escaped with that one.
I have no idea why the refs didnt review that shot. That was an abysmal blown call that late in the game. As a fan of basketball, it sucks to see refs blow calls at the most critical junctures (this game, last game too).
Let's close this out in MIL.
Bucks can't complain about the missed 24-second violation on Horford.
Refs missed Middleton fouling Brown in the closing minute of game 3, which swung everything.
Yeah. Wasn't even close.Thought the Cs escaped with that one.

You mean Al's buzzer shot? Did you see a replay that showed it was a blown call? I missed that. I was surprised they didn't review that -- possibly a big break for the C's.

Every championship team needs a Marcus Smart type player. We have the prototype it will be silly to let him go. More than Posey silly.

Tatum sitting in the 4th was a good decision. He was being abused by Parker, and his inability to box out is what cost us game 4 with that tip in from Giannis.

Yeah, part of it is being a rookie, and a big part of it imo is he's just not physically strong enough.

Smart's footwork on defense is remarkable.
If he can ever translate that to offense... watch out.

I don't wanna seem like I am down on Tatum. The intensity and physicality of the playoffs is a couple notches about anything in college, even playing deep into the dance. Tatum seems like he learns quick, I am sure he will be better in game 6.

I still respect the Bucks infinitely more than the 76ers. Or Warriors.
ok CBS post game over. middleton and smart and horford up next in that order

I don't think I had enough respect for the Bucks prior to this series. I didn't realize how well guys like Middleton, Brogdon would play.

I never though cakewalk, but I didn't see 7 games either....it might be 6, but it is going to be tough.
Big props to Semi Ojeleye. He stopped a favored NBA superstar tonight.
Biggest moment of his life and he came through strong and did what the team asked him to.
Amazing. I love it.

Bucks fans must look like fools chanting "Bucks in 6" that last regular season game against them.
Celtics in 6. PLEASE.

I wouldn't say he sucked all year. His shot has been iffy but he's played hard and defended well. He's a second round rookie and he's starting in the NBA playoffs. I'd say he exceeded expectations.

he didnt play hard, he defended okay. His motor was severely lacking throughout the season as is his offball D. But the last few games he played really well that one can think he will be a nice rotation player in the future.
I wish Tatum can play better as well, because of his terrible play tonight Brad had to play Rozier and Smart a lot of timea together tonight, and that means minutes for Larkin!
Interesting stat: Monroe never played, Baynes played 10 minutes, yet despite our lack of size we beat the Bucks 50-37 on the glass.

I watched when Baynes was biffing Maker around in the game 4 loss in the comeback. Absolutely awesome to watch.
And Baynes is a pretty good passer...so solid!

He took two charges that went the other way and he limited Giannis. He didn't "stop" Giannis but he was very effective and he played his ass off.

I remember Ojeleye defended LeBron or someone huge, and he was just an absolute unstoppable brickhouse when they tried to back into him.

like I said he was solid man to man all season. But offball D and motor are lacking apart from a few games. He has played welk this series though, eap the last 4 ganes, that's for sure.
