We have to play better

[Roy H.]

Refs, coaching…  I get the frustration, but our guys need to do better.

Tatum:  4-for-19
Marcus: 1-for-8
Williams:  2-for-9
Pritchard: 0-for-3

I'm done being agreeable.

I've linked a bunch in the other topic.

Yes, we played bad.

No, we should NOT have lost this because even a BAD playing Celtics team is BETTER than the Bucks by a wide margin.

Ref calls, if they'd been right, would've accounted for an EASY 12 point swing.

Wouldn't have mattered in this one. The REFS FIXED this one from the get go!

Yeah, I stupidly said that Giannis could not have a better game than game one and Tatum could not have a worse game than game one and then that’s exactly what happens in game three. I really cannot see how Giannis could do better and Tatum worse than game three, but who knows?

The refs stole this one even with Giannis having an all-time great performance and Tatum shooting like Derrick White. That gives me a lot of confidence. I’m fact, I’m very confident that the guys will tie this up coming home for game five. Then it’s best of three with two of three in Boston. I like those odds, even if Middleton makes it back for game seven.

THe Celtics would've won if the fix didn't go all the way to the end of the game. Smart was shooting. It's really hard to fight through all the calls and no calls. The refs really wanted this one. PLaying better wouln't of helped.

This team has their back against the wall again. Two series in and I’ve already lost faith in the offense. These games are tough especially when the C’s lose.

That’s silly.  We lost by one possession.

When it was clearly a three-point shooting foul on Smart and dozens of other missed and fixed calls.

I think today won't be the last game the Celtics are going to play atrocious in this series.

They played atrociously in Game 1. They played atrociously in the second half (or 3rd quarter) of Game 2 but somehow still won by 20+. They played atrociously in Game 3 but narrowly lost.

It's like it's in their blood that one of their star guys play bad each game and it's so consistent! Waiting for that perfect game performance from the C's...

[smicker16]

The most disappointing thing with Tatum in this game is that it was not only his shooting but truly every area of the game. His rebounding was way down and his defense was horrible and he got owned by Jrue on occasion and Giannis but that is somewhat expected. Even if he plays slightly better defense we probably win this game. Need that to change for the next game and I have hope that it will. I just am not sure Brown and Horford will play as well. And sadly don’t know if we can play the way we need for 3 out of 5. Ugh crushing to now be down for two straight days. Why do I care so much about sports!

[liam]

If the game wasn't fixed I think we win this one.

[gouki88]

We certainly do. So many guys shooting that badly is going to cripple an offence. It seems as if we're unable to generate open looks, and if we do get a rare one we clank it

So the series is over then? Pack your bags and leave?

[slamtheking]

what struck me this game was that Milwaukee came out with intense defense from the start just like they did in game 1 and it hampered the Celtic offense all game until the last quarter.  Ime/coaching staff needs to figure out how to beat that defense for easier buckets.  having a great ballhandler would help but we don't have that.  maybe figure out an outlet man or two up the sideline to move the ball quickly up the court to attack the basket quickly
