Bucks (3-3) at Celtics (3-3) Round 2 Game #7 5/15/22

[dang] those international superstar calls are accounting for a whopping... 1 more foul on the Celtics than on Milwaukee as of this writing.

Shame about the rigged refereeing, otherwise we might have won this game.

Bucks fans will complain big about the ref-ing in this game. Not that they are correct, but this is what fans do.

We're obviously guilty of this here, but I think our complaints are far more warranted.  I've had enough of the crap Giannis gets away with.

Celtics still win this in 7. Book it.

Smart guy!

Celtics will win #18, book it!

I BELIEVE!!!

Still can't believe the effort we came out with today. Wasn't perfect, but we were consistently the better team and had the Bucks on the ropes most of the game.

I have a prediction - I think you see another Game 2 like effort from us. We seemed to have turned a corner tonight, and Giannis looks tired. I think we win going away on the back of our homecourt. Just can't choke it away down the stretch when they make their inevitable run.

The X-factor will be the availability of Middleton and Timelord. I don't think we'll see Middleton back given there's really not even been talk that he's close, and that's a hard game to come back on, especially in enemy territory. I'm guessing they rely on the fact that they've won two in Boston and don't chance it.

Just Nostradamus'ing over here!

Smart played some really amazing defence on Giannis in the second half

Giannis with a knee to Smart's nuts. Foul on the nuts!

[Neurotic Guy]

Ouch

[RockinRyA]

Man our defensive averages for this postseason must be a lot higher than the league.

[SCeltic34]

Smart is mortal after all.  I'm pretty sure there's some steel there to cushion that blow though.

[slamtheking]

Don't let up by taking early 3's.  Bucks are still getting open shots

[tarheelsxxiii]

My only concern coming into the game was the tremendous pressure that Tatum was probably feeling.

This win should help tremendously moving forward, both in seasoning him for greatness AND letting him know that he's not alone. This team has his back.

[radiohead]

GWill has cooled off. What a game by him though. 18 three point attempts!

[Birdman]

Yessss we got it boys and girls!!!!

Fate is a cruel mistress. You can't test the basketball gods by tanking the last game because you're afraid of the Nets in the first round and expect to come back and win a game seven in Boston. Fools!
