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

[angryguy77]

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.

Dude when he wastes multiple possessions, sits and complians to the refs, I could give a flying g crap how many pts he had. Those 3's were basically turnovers. His complaining led to another mke score this game.

Just 2 better possessions and we probably win.

[kraidstar]

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

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

Not necessarily. The league would love to have a game 7 Sunday

He needs to learn to value possessions more. It is amazing to me that even in year 5 of his career, he is still opting for the highlight dagger special, rather than running the play and getting a good shot.

Up 6 with less than 2 minutes left… for Giannis to hit a three and cough the lead up.

It shouldn’t have come down to that after building a decent lead. We started playing the clock instead of continuing to apply pressure.

This team has been resilient, hopefully they bunker down and rally around Smart to win the next one.

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

They have more size, but we don't do the fundamentals.  We don't box out!  No effort

I predicted C’s in 7 but I’m not seeing it. I had assumed it’d be 3-2 Boston but down 3-2 going on the road for Game 6? Big ugh…

[SparzWizard]

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.

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

That's LeBron. Any time you're up 3-2, and you gotta play LeBron. It's def tough. Once he forces Game 7, it's over...for the team that held a 3-2 lead.

We stopped running...

[mobilija]

Such dumb basketball. I cannot believe we lost that game. The terrible boxing out on a Giannis free throw is just mind boggling. Ime so stuck on that 1 big lineup and it ended up doing them in

BwaaaaHaaahaaaaaa!!!!

Oh man....thats a take! Guess you didn't watch the rest of the seasom?

Sorry, But yeah at that moment...shoulda put in rebounding

[jpotter33]

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

Well, let's also be frank - if not for some reffing incompetence in game three we already would've won two in Milwaukee. We beat them down the stretch in one and in the other lost on some reffing incompetence and the go-ahead basket being .2 seconds late. We can absolutely beat them again - as long as we don't play boneheaded basketball like tonight.

[Who]

we kill ourselves every time

if bucks had middleton theyt would most likely crucify us

we shoulda beat this team

at least make them earn it

we play dumb ball

This series does make you wonder ...

Boston have looked so much more talented than Milwaukee but Giannis is keeping them in this. With Middleton? Would this series already be over?

Just playing cute always leads to disaster.

I wish everyone played as hard as PP.

[CBS_Take a Report]

This game and loss makes me physically ill. I’m so disgusted I actually hate reading the discussion. I’m gonna make myself puke and go to bed and sleep until noon tomorrow with the shades drawn so it remains dark for a 12+ hour period of time.

[kraidstar]

Terrible,  Terrible  loss.
