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

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.

agree we shoulda won this 4-1 based on what happened thus far

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

JT's iso first half is a big reason the Bucks were still in it at halftime.  his play this series has been seriously lacking.

Not really true at all, besides game 3 (where he was not alone). Asides from G3, he's averaged 29/7/6 on 43% from the field. The efficiency has been lacking, but we cannot win without him carrying the load on offence. That's just the way it is with the quarter-to-quarter inconsistency of those who surround him.

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.

PP34 and KG would not let this happen. These young kids are too weak and mentally soft. Sloppy.

[kraidstar]

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

We need Rob

[blink]

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.

well if that is the case, we are screwed either way, lol

Agreed.

28-12 close by the Bucks

[Rosco917]

17 offensive rebounds, 20 second chance points for Bucks

The Celtics got totally punked on the offensive boards all night. The bucks were simply tougher out there. Timelord is always freaking hurt

[RPGenerate]

Getting killed on the boards was reason 1, 2, and 3 for this loss. If this game doesn't tell you how much we need a healthy Rob back, I don't know what will.

[Csfan1984]

I put it on Marcus. He is the PG and he blew too many positions down the stretch.

We still need bench play.

We are screwed if Scott Foster is the ref for Game 6 lol

Walking it up....

that 2012 ECF was crushing. refs screwed us game 1 when rondo was great

heat go up 2-0 then we take 2 at home and win in miami and go up 3-2

then lebron kills us game 6. we tried game 7 but fell apart in the 4th.

most figured it was over agfter lebron willed them to a V game 6

No one’s bothered by #JKJB stealing the Giannis rebound from Smart?

Everyone’s blaming Marcus — but when he gets that board, the game is over.
