LETS GO BIG AL!

Just got home from work.  Gotta say I certainly didn't expect to tune into this score.

Ladies and gentlemen, Your Jekyll and Hyde Boston Celtics !!

yes, yes yes

Are they really this good when they focus and play with effort ?

Funny how Brook Lopez who looks like a superstar against other teams looks meh tonight.

But I'm sure next game he'll probably put up a 25/15 statline and hit 6 threes...

Well, credit to Joe - he's gone full steam ahead with the small starting lineup, and that's really exploited their big starting lineup.

The double big lineup just doesn't work against Milwaukee, as it allows Lopez to stay closer in the lane given less spacing. But with Al as the five, Lopez has to be out on the perimeter. It also makes Giannis either guard one of the Jays or the guards, which is not ideal for him.

That half was awesome 😎

[jpotter33]

My God, refs, have some respect for yourselves. That's the most blatant walk by Giannis I think I've ever seen to end the half, and crickets from you.

Games like this make me wonder if they really are coasting.

Like I 100% agree, they should play hard every night and can't be blowing games against Washington. And they still haven't won anything.

But you see when the team is engaged, hustling and playing defense too that they look unstoppable. Just like against a great Kings team on the road last week, now MIL tonight. Feels like they just want to get to the postseason and get to it healthy

great half.  need to keep pushing it when they come out of the half and get control of the defensive boards to ice this by the end of the 3rd.

Crowder and Ingles can't guard.

[GetLucky]

The C's can get whatever shot they want against the Bucks. Bud doesn't make adjustments, so this is a great message to send.

[SCeltic34]

This board is going to have a supreme meltdown if the C's blow another large lead.  I will definitely be part of that meltdown.

Oh if they blow this lead I am taking a few days off from this blog, Celtics media and probably from watching the C's as well

there's a valid point here but this is also a night when they aren't bricking 3's (for the most part).  they're still a live by the 3, die by the 3 team.

My favorite moment so far?
When Brogdon smoked Jrue on a drive in the 2nd quarter.
