I’m obviously hoping for a win but as we know, games 7 can be won on small details, and there’s a part of luck/critical stretches from some players.

Regardless of whether you’re feeling good about this one, what’s your biggest worries heading into this game ?

Mine for starters :
1) it’s an afternoon game and we usually play them bad (although I’m hoping the fact it’s a game 7 kind of nullifies this)
2) Bucks’ role players getting hot and hitting critical 3 point shots. Still suffering from PTSD from Dragic and Iguodala with Miami, Jeff Green and George Hill with Cleveland, etc.
3) Grant and Pritchard still hitting no shots

I’m hoping Giannis got his made threes and free throws out of his system last night.

#1 is Giannis obviously. As others have mentioned, I get Lebron vibes with him just like 2008 where he and Pierce just went at it, and now it's Tatum vs. Giannis. I'd like to think his FT shooting and 3-point shooting go down a bit (law of averages).

To me, it's the turnovers and shot selection. When the C's play clean, they're better period.

Giannis getting all the calls, and the Celtics going cold with their shooting.

Yeah, they hit a lot of 3s in Game 6 but is that sustainable? And if not, can they adjust.

Well I think it was said that it wasn't sustainable after the last time we did it in game 2 - 20 for 43 for 46.5%. Yesterday we were 17-43 for 39.5%.

Plain and simple.
Shots not falling.
If we make our open looks we win.

Since the Celtics continue to not attack Allen, Matthews, Cannaugtin , Portis and make it possible for the Vicks to win a 3 point contest it’s a total toss up. Dumb offense. Weak minded.

Rebounding,  Turnovers, Shooting, and limiting everyone around Giannis.

-If rebounds is over 10 in favor of Bucks it gets tough. As the C's D is better but giving up more chances negatives that edge.

-Too many turnovers hurts because Bucks do great in transition.

-Hitting good open shots can be upto 80% of the game

-Giannis is going for 40 limit everyone else.

Yes - I'm worried that Milwaukee can definitely "go off" from 3.  Defensively I do think it's the right move to try to stop Giannis 1:1 and try to put some pressure on their shooters.  But they'll get open looks and it could be that they catch fire in Game 7.   I don't like the idea of a 3-point contest at all.

Relying too much on 3point shots and iso/hero ball will kill us. Also, if the Bucks own the offensive glass, we lose. I think the refs will call some charging fouls on Giannis this game and he's not going to make all his free throws like in game 6. I think if Al and Smart have good all around games, we win. I think the Celtics grind out a tough win tomorrow.

1. The afternoon game.  We always seem to play bad.

2.  Karma.  This series should already be over.  2 of these games were there for the taking and we failed to do it bc of poor execution and missed opportunities.  The basketball gods don’t forget.

3.  We’re at home.  We’ve played our best games on the road and our duds have come at home.

My first worry would be getting off to a slow start. It's one thing when you start slow in an early game during the series (like a Game 1 or 2), but doing so in a win-or-go-home Game 7 could prove very costly against great teams. Can't afford that
