Bucks (44-24) at Celtics (54-14) Game #69 3/20/24

Milwaukee is so unlikeable

[CelticSooner]

Giannis will play tomorrow, no doubt in my mind. I call gamesmanship by Doc.

Not a good feeling about this one after one quarter

[jpotter33]

Sitting Tatum so early while on a heater was dumb. We've looked pretty pedestrian and let them right back in it since he sat.

[Yuckabuck33]

We're going to have to find a way for Tillman to contribute on offense if he's going to get minutes.  The Bucks aren't guarding him.  Playing 4-on-5 is hard. 

Defense is terrific though.

And he needs to stop being so shocked when someone passes him the ball.

[SCeltic34]

The hell?  Hold for the last shot guys.

[CelticSooner]

C’s are falling into their trap. Bucks want this in the 110-120s.

[celticinorlando]

Please stop shooting 3s

14 threes is just playing into the bucks hands

Go inside

[jpotter33]

Lillard looking rough to start this game.

[jpotter33]

The hell?  Hold for the last shot guys.

Yeah, really dumb basketball. Gave them an opportunity to score. Lucked out that they didn't capitalize on that opportunity.

[celticinorlando]

Can’t let bums like Beverly, coughnaton beat you

[Atzar]

With Giannis out, this might be more of a Kornet game than a Tillman game.  Kornet is a useful offensive big with good timing on the roll and a very good feel for open space.  Meanwhile we're trying to hide Tillman in the corner where he's not effective and the Bucks just don't respect him at all.  They're planting the extra man at the basket and it's making it hard to get anything inside. 

[CelticSooner]

Bucks play much differently when Lillard is allowed to shoot as much as he wants. Very similar to the Kemba led C’s. Lillard/Giannis paring is so/so.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

peepee for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[jpotter33]

PP with some bully ball! He should excel offensively against this weak perimeter D.
