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

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?

NO U DRIVE TO THE HOOP AND DRAW FOUL if not there kick out

Yeah, this one irks me.

I don't mind Morris getting the ball, but he stalled and let Middleton set himself up to defend. Make a quick move. Whatever it is, just make a quick one. Did not know why he had to hold the ball for a couple seconds to make a move.

Use to like gianiss but he is an Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. with all the antics.

By the way, Monroe didn't play a minute in the second half and I'm glad Brad seemed to realize that offensive rebounds only go so far when you can't guard anyone at all.

[nickagneta]

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.

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

I can deal with missed free throws. Boneheaded, idiotic giveaways of 2 points like that I can not forgive

We'd be talking about the 76ers RIGHT NOW if Kyrie, Hayward, Smart, and Theis were in uniforms.

Sorry ass Bucks trying to luck their way through the postseason.

Imagine if we had Kyrie and Hayward and the Bucks were missing Giannis and Middleton? I really hope we pull out this series. Milwaukee lost so they could play us. I really want them to regret that decision.

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.

Yeah, I did the same thing. I'll expect to see that one in the two-minute report.

The Giannis charge was another very questionable one.

[SparzWizard]

Just rush Smart back pleaseeee.

[SCeltic34]

Nota good play call.

In fairness, there isn't much you can run with 5 seconds on the clock. But I'd have liked to have this shot go to someone else instead. Heck, I'd have even preferred a three-pointer for the win.

It wasn't the worst play call in the world, but MM was off all game.  Brad is creative and could have gotten us a better look.  I would have lived with a 3 for the win too.

[CelticSooner]

Should have had that one but every game this team has is just another that will help them even more for the title run next season.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Well Brown is turning into super star before our eyes-21 years old

don't forget clutch shot by Tatum too

both turning into men before our eyes

positive experiences for next year

[kraidstar]

The defense was ATROCIOUS that last 10 minutes or so. The Bucks scored on almost every possession.

A lot of youthful mistakes on that end.

Loved the shotmaking by the young guys down the stretch though. This bodes well for the future.

[celticinorlando]

Better win game five. No ducking around

[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.

I think this is a bit over reacting. Surely Brad had something else drawn, but the Bucks defense made sure it wouldn't work.

I really don't think so. It sure looked like they ran a bunch of side actions that got everyone on the inbounding side of the court to give Morris plenty of room to work. That looked like the first option the entire way through.

agreed

i know we did not have much time but if rim was protected id take a midrange kickout jay. may have not had time for a long range kickout.

[KGs Knee]

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. 

No hindsight bias whatsoever, that's BS....You give the ball to your best players, period.

It's fools gold thinking a partially open Morris is a better option than a more tightly guarded Horford/Brown/Tatum.  I'd trust anyone of them more to make something happen, even tightly guarded, than Morris beating Middleton one-on-one from mid-range.
