Bucks (11-10) at Celtics (18-4) Game #23 12/6/24

[Phantom255x]

Maybe I'm overreacting but it feels like this year there have been many smaller guards that tend to torch us. Is that a sign of Jrue aging and/or a regression from our trio's defense (Jaylen-White-Holiday)? I worry about that in potential playoff series.

Lillard is already 6-11 with 15 points

[Who]

9th game for Doc, Middelton, Giannis & Lillard?

How is that even possible? Sheesh.

[jpotter33]

We've simply got to be better on the boards. Giving up way too many second chance points.

[jpotter33]

What a pass by Tatum and finish by Queta!

[Phantom255x]

Missing too many 3s

[Phantom255x]

Missing too many 3s

Yikes... we're 7-26 from 3

[angryguy77]

They have to start dropping right......right?

[Atzar]

Low-effort game.  Nobody really trying unless the ball is in their hands.  One of those 'wake me up when the fourth quarter starts' nights, I think.

Feels like their rebounding and defense takes the night off when KP isnt playing. They have to figure this out. Been this way all.season

Idk if it's the stream but is the Garden also silent tonight? Or is it ESPN masking it?

Either way, apparently tickets for this game were also pretty cheap going in, maybe not as many people are interested in this.

We've struggled against quick scoring guards for years now.  It's one of the biggest weaknesses of the switch-everything lineups we like to play - guys either too big or too quick for our interchangeable parts.

Yeah. It worries me because the East has a ton of them this season. They did last season too but some got hurt right before the postseason

[jpotter33]

I sometimes wonder if we realize that we can shoot anything other than threes, especially when cold 

[Phantom255x]

This feels like a game where we trail at halftime, most of the 3rd, but then the 3s start falling and we win late.

Without KP they lose the option of midrange  or post up game.
