Bucks (1-3) at Celtics (3-1) 11/3 Game 5

Great finish to win.  And Pierce is the man in the end.

Nice Win!

In spite of the mess of the last several hours, Celtics overcame a determined MIL team.

I'll take it! Congrats to Paul once again, and nice plays from KG there to almost put MIL away by himself there at the end.

KG is looking fluid - almost 07-08, to me. He didn't shoot well, but made those key plays there towards the end.

And his driving Dunk? Nice!

Rondo - another great game, wow...and Ray!!

And Glen! Once again huge off the bench!

grinder....i can't take 77 more of these

C'mon, this is supposed to be fun.  And they've already proven the regular season doesn't mean a whole lot.

Fun game but wayyyy to stressful.

Thanks celts.

Congratulations PP and Rondo.

Way too stressful of a game.

I think we're going to be without KG on Friday. Bogut will probably miss their next game as well.

I'd prefer they just let it go, but with how they've handled things the past two years I think both will miss a game.

Very stressful in the 4th quarter but got relieved when KG threw that dunk down! Wow Congratulations to my favorite player of all time Paul Pierce!  20,000 points! Cant wait to watch them put your jersey in the Rafters!!!

C's won the tail end of a back2back. Those might be few and far between this season, enjoy it.

Awesome how PP scored his 20,000th point and closed out the game

On the flip side, Garnett looked clearly gassed towards the close of OT. Not a good sign.

Yes it was way to stressfl of a game, but it was fun at the same time.  Should have closed it out in regulation though.  Need to save legs as best as possible and close out games like that so they don't go to overtime.   We had plenty of chances to close out the game, didn't execute, and let the Bucks back in it everytime.

As for KG and Bogut I don't think either will be suspended for Friday.  Just my gut feeling and what I'm hoping.

I didn't really notice that.  At the end of regulation right after the double technicals he looked fresh and energetic though.

He played the last eight minutes of the fourth and the entire OT.

He looked very good in the fourth until the end. Though he did miss the rotation on the game tying lay up. But that was a mental error.

To many offensive boards by Boget. Garnett and BBd is a very poor rebounding unit. Erden would have made Boget work more at the end when BBD went out if Doc trusted him. Luckily they were not able to exploit it.

Yikes BBD only had 4 rebounds in 34 minutes?

The rest of the team picked up the slack somewhat with respectable totals for Rondo/Pierce/Ray/Jermaine.

Loved that tip-in by JO He's had a rough start but nice that he bobbed up when we needed him.

See-sawing game all night. Great to get the win.
