if u watch both games u can see it... the move most used by giannis is that spin around of the defender, in the first game boston did a great job not allowing giannis to spin, horford did a great job on that, making giannis not comfortable and force him to think, resulting in misses or eurostep into a crowd... if u watch last game he was able to spin a bunch of times making him feel like a fish in the ocean making 15-22 fgs... the coaching staff needs to address that!
This isn't our only problem in this series but is something we can improve, do not overhelp everytime (trust your teammates), and  we need to star hitting more jumpers especially the open shots like we are suppose to if we want to win another game this year, i cannot accept Connaughton and G.Hill being more effective than hayward and smart etc...
Close to impossible to win this series but we are not done yet

I believe that The Defense in this game was the problem not The Offense. The Celtics should be able to win a game where they score over 100 points. Our Offense was not great but The Defense which is supposed to be good gave up 113 and an avalanche of layups and open shots. We held the Bucks to 90 points in game one and after that the Bucks have been scoring at will. 123 in game two and 123 in game 3. 113 in game 4. If we hold the Bucks under 100 in the games 2-4 we would've swept. They have to get back to a defense first approach.

Giannis is going to get his...but when you have pat connaughton, george hill and guys like that scoring at will...then you are going to lose.

Bucks had Middleton and Giannis on the bench for the entire 3rd and they took the game away...with average to good NBA players. It was telling.

The Bucks have a better roster from 1-12 flush with guys who can shoot. The have shot makers. Boston does not. We have Smart, Rozier and Hayward. Those guys struggle to get buckets.
