Bucks (2-2) at Celtics (2-2) Round 2 Game #5 5/11/22

[liam]

Don't blame White, Theis, or Payton for this loss.  They all had good games.

They didn't play enough. Ime just runs his starters... More coaching please!

[SCeltic34]

Did the Bucks even miss a 3 in the 4th?  They just shot the lights out.  The C's reverted back to their early season habits and played terrible offensively.

[CelticSooner]

Brown was hot then they went away from him and Tatum no showed the 4th again.

i was screaming at IME (at my tv really) to put some height in when Giannis was shooting those last fts
he misses the 2nd, we are up 1 with the ball if we get the rebound.  Bucks had length in, ball pops right to them game over.

that basically iced it there

rebounding with dumb play killed us

[jpotter33]

Tatum is the main culprit tonight. This game is probably not even close if he doesn't single-handedly shoot us out of the game in the second quarter. GWill and Smart lots of mistakes, too, and we didn't see the same Al tonight.

Just so, so disappointing. What a choked opportunity. Literally could've just cost us another banner, as I don't think any other team remaining is close to Milwaukee.

[SparzWizard]

I missed most of the 4th quarter. We were up 14 at one point. I come back around 30secs left in the game and it is down to 2.

I am amazed that we lost that game. Milwaukee looked demoralized. Like they had run out of ideas and had no idea how to stop BOS offense. MIL were scoring but they couldn't get stops. They had no way to create an overall advantage against BOS who simply deeper and more talented.

Yet ... huh ...

Amazed? These are the same Celtics all year long. Nothing new. Always with dumb turnovers, dumb passes, dumb bricking 3's, and letting the opposing team grab OFF rebounds! It was going to happen sooner or later with how sloppy they've been playing to grind out each win this series. This one bit them bad

[slamtheking]

Tatum killed us boys. Idc about the pts. He wasted a ton of possessions.ime let jb sit way too long as well

I’d say rebounding killed them. They got out muscled.

rebounding was brutal tonight.  Ime needed to load that lane with rebounders during Giannis' FTs in case of a miss to prevent just what happened

[Dchuck]

Literally played like we did in December.

ISO.  Don't move the ball.  Walk the ball up.  No pace.  Lazy

Un FREAKIN real

Got utterly destroyed on the boards. 

Dang this was a tough loss.  Everything that could go wrong when you are up 6 with 90 seconds left, went wrong. Not bad luck, bad play.   They were ONE STOP AWAY.  And got the miss. 

And the missed board on the FT.  Unbelievable.

[blink]

Theis went 5-for-5 and was +7 in 11 minutes.  And yet, he sat while we got dominated inside.

he should have been in there for the Giannis FT's big mistake by Ime. Gotta get size in there to get the miss.

Brown was hot then they went away from him and Tatum no showed the 4th again.

They benched him (not unfairly) and he wasn't the same. It's how Brown is.

We gave them momentum by slowing up the ball. Not enough courage and heart to keep attacking. Anybody can beat anybody is you dog it and give them confidence

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Smart with an epic collapse

It was the whole team except for Horford.

Tatum and Brown consistently came up empty down the stretch.

tatum were pure retarded with three isos in a row

pass drive draw

Tatum scored our last 2 points with from the FT line.

chamges nothing i said. rewind game before that

[liam]

Theis went 5-for-5 and was +7 in 11 minutes.  And yet, he sat while we got dominated inside.

PP too. 10 minutes...

[Who]

Well we got one crazy 4th Q comeback and now MIL got one. Balanced out.
