Have read every post in this thread.

You would think the Celtics were down by 20 if you weren't watching the game and just reading this thread.

Rabid fans get very emotional. It's normal. Roll with it.

You know, if Kyrie was still on team we would be down by 21 after our first quarter!

Giannis really does use our team faces like his own punching bag and he might as well continue. That is what I would tell him, keep driving hard and keep using your hand to clear out on their faces.

Will take one down! One half and we can tie this up!!

One of the worst game threads I can remember

I think the spoiled brat behavior started years ago. It was evident for the first half of the season, then during the first couple games in the BKN series, now has intensified after Saturday's game. It's not just on this forum. I have seen grown men in pizza shops complain like my three year old. Embarrassing behavior.

Really? People still go to pizza shops?

Can they please get out in transition??

Stop walking the ball up to let the Bucks set their D. 

Play faster!!

More PP plaese!

Playing really good D on Giannis. 6-17 from the field. I will take it.

More? He was a foul machine out there and missed every shot!

Okay then, this upcoming 3rd quarter is season-on-the-line time for Tatum.  He MUST come out strong or else I see Bucks winning the series in 6.

[blink]

Matthews DID jump un-naturally into Brown

Yup...AND that was supposed to be something that was stressed not to be called a shooting foul.

and right before the contest on Matthews Jaylen was on the baseline digging the ball away from Giannis.  Jaylen just needs to not give up the baseline.  Giannis is so long, if he gets past you on the baseline it is a dunk.

When was that when Giannis had the back to back travels?

He travels every time, so sure? lol

Took one shot and had 2 rebs and three assists in 5 minutes.

That was a tough sequence.

Giannis almost gave up the ball 3 times down low -- really good D and then the call on the 3.  I thought it was a great effort defensively. 

C's have to hit open shots.   Tatum 1-6 from 3.  He's got to come up big.  Now. 

[CelticSooner]

The refs are worse in this game than the last one. I have no idea how the C's can win this series the way they officiating Giannis. It completely changes the way your whole defense works. I wasn't sure there could be worse outcome than LeBron but we have found it. It's impacting everything on the floor. Making guys passive half the time. smh

[tarheelsxxiii]

Just tuning in.  How was the first half?

This was the rarer double travel and while it's still not called on Giannis it is different than his usual traveling.
