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

I wonder how serious it is with Timelord. Because boy we need him even if just for limited minutes

Amazing. Brown literally fouls Smart like he thinks he’s a Buck on the game clinching play — and y’all are talking about Grant Williams.

Everyone has covered the bad play. Grant Williams playing 30 minutes is a key reason as to why the game was that close in the first place.

So a key reason the Cs lost tonight was… Grant Williams? Where exactly on the list of reasons for said loss does “Grant Williams” lie?

I would have thought it fairly obvious. Failed to score in 30 minutes of play, came up with costly turnovers, played fairly bad defence on Giannis (besides drawing one charge), gave up silly fouls, and got 2 rebounds in 30 minutes as the starting 4.

Him playing over Theis, who was huge, was a terrible decision.

On a positive note, the Cs are an excellent road team. Let’s see what they’re made of in game 6.

The BUCKS took it.

I'd go as far to say the C's let them take it

Yes they did in ways but the bucks played great d and were making 3s with a hand in their face?

We did everything right to lead most of the game and then went away from it.  We just had to continue what was working.  Instead, we revert to poor play, iso ball, walk the ball up.  Bucks played with urgency, and we didn't.

We got tentative. Gave the Bucks that little extra space and it led to them getting confidence.

AL played 41. That's not going to work. Why? Theis was playing well and he's fresh as a daisy.

Yeah, whatever happened to matching Al on Giannis? Don't understand why we went back to GWill tonight.

Granted, Giannis scored more on Al tonight than he has all series, but still had to be better than GWill.

17 offensive rebounds given up.  just inexcusable.  giving up 10 is horrible but if they corral those 7 other boards, C's win

The majority of teams average over 10 offensive rebounds a game. 17 is a terrible effort, but 10 is not reasonable to expect now that Lopez is healthy.

speaks volumes about the C's only getting 5 then and we typically don't give up 10

[RPGenerate]

If G Will either can't/won't compete on the boards, his minutes need to go into the single digits.

Its unfortunate...but i think its 2 guys on same team going for a rebound...but i gotta watch it 23 more times to make sure

This team has never learned how to step on their opponent’s throat when things are rolling. This is why you need to learn how to do that.

This stinks. I hope they watch tape of all the cute passes, whining at the refs, and lazy possessions. Then learn in game 6 how to blow a team out from start to finish.

But I got bad news. Game 7 would be on Sunday. Likely a matinee. That’s terrifying.

That fan on twitter must be embarrassed now after posting that tweet in the first half. Charles Barkley nailed his prediction. SIGH

Smart charged from outside and ran into Jaylen getting the ball which knocked it to Portis.

Yep, the disparity is the real killer. If we got to our average (10.6 regular season, 9.5 playoffs) we probably get 2-4 second chance points at LEAST

Dude was clearly in funk most of game, looked kinda shook.
