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

[slamtheking]

it is hard to lose 2 at home against a team like this and win a series lets be frank people

we had to win all home games against them a few years back

now we have to win two in milwaukee

and 2 in a row against them which we have yet to do

[Csfan1984]

Smart with an epic collapse

It was the whole team except for Horford.

Tatum and Brown consistently came up empty down the stretch.

3 turnovers from Smart in like 2 mins

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

We're not relying on a rebound if JT doesn't do a chappel Kobe impression for a number of possessions.

He has a lot of growing up to do

Trying to attribute a three point loss to our leading scorer, and nothing else, is laughable.

he was trash three straight posessions FACT that killed us

Hats off to the Bucks. They played like a championship team down the stretch and we did not.

And the refs who kept them in the game whenever things got a little too tuff for them.

The Celtics lost this all on their own. They had plenty of chances to put this away and just tried to coast.

There is nothing about the refs that had anything to do with this loss.  I have to find my Ambien.

Mixed with a couple of stiff drinks

I feel the exact same way I did when the C's lost that Game 6 against LeBron. Just don't capitalize on the gift that was the Middleton injury. Our star isn't doing enough work to win this series.

i know    we absolutely blew this series if we lose it. beat ourselves 2 of theor 3 wins sickedning

Celtics still win this in 7. Book it.

I am highly, highly doubtful.

I will take a championship level focus and effort to even get to game 7.  I am so shocked that we just crapped the bed with 1 min to go, I can't imagine how mad the C's are.  It was a series changing defeat.

Did the same thing in game 3. We were leading in both games with under a minute to go and then just completely went off the rails. This series would be over right now if we weren't literally the worst clutch team in the league this season.

I am in shock.  what a letdown

oh man I need something after that.  maybe one of the most deflating losses ever.

GAVE THAT AWAY!

Thanks, Marcus!!!

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REFS!!!!

What about your mom?

She's not a huge Celtics fan, but she appreciates your concern.

Go Celtics!

[slamtheking]

20 second chance points.  inexcusable.  honestly thought it was more.

Yeah, I can see that. Almost like we're gonna get punished by the basketball gods for blowing such a huge gift in Middleton getting injured.

To be honest - I'm convinced that we play worse at home, especially under pressure. We've seemingly consistently all year played well on the road, and in the playoffs we seem like we've played much better down the stretch away rather than home. I truly think that we get too hyped up by the crowd and the pressure and let it get to us.
