The Bucks played their entire team tonight and are down 40. And this is after coasting to a win last night. I don’t want to hear excuses for them. We played MIL missing half our team a few months ago and lost a close one in OT as well.

We can take them

[Silas]

How about the Cs defense tonight!!!!

Having missed the first half, it looks like a classic story of one team making its 3's and the other is missing them.  I haven't looked at the team stats recently but my understanding is that Milwaukee actually isn't a very good 3 point shooting team.  It's going to be interesting how that comes into play in the playoffs, particularly against the C's if we match up.  I still think Milwaukee beats all of the other teams in the East.

C's only have 3 turnovers.  That's huge against a team that is as big and physical as Milwaukee.

That is interesting. I looked up the stats to see if that is the case. It says Milwaukee is 4th in makes and attempts but only 11th in percentage from 3.

Great volume & pretty good accuracy.

Tatum is posessed..

Oh man, JT just sonned Ingles, and followed it up with another tough three!

[blink]

this is getting out of hand...lol

I actually think a lot of it is how other teams are built. Teams typically focus so much on Giannis and Lopez and Portis that guys are left open outside for open 3s.

When teams like the Celtics though have great defense, a good frontcourt and contest a lot of shots, the 3 point shooting isn’t as great

Would've loved to hear the Mike Gorman call of that. Pierce vs. Indiana vibes.

What will be the bucks excuse tonight? Tired? Middleton washed? Meaningless game?

[Yuckabuck33]

Tatum shooting 80% on 3 pointers.

[Phantom255x]

If JT can hit 3s like this in the postseason just give us Banner 18

Interesting, that's better than I remember.   I think I looked at it about a month ago and they were middle of the pack.  TP for checking

Flippin TNT in the Bahamas is showing The Longest Yard (in Spanish) instead of the Celtics.  (And not even the original.  It’s the one with Adam Sandler).  I haven’t turned on the TV since we got here but I was really looking to seeing how the Celts reacted to playing the cream of the East. 

Looks like they’re doing ok without me.

You gotta feel great about how this team matches up with the other contenders in the East.
