Celtics went 1-1 in Milwaukee and claimed home court. We’ll take that all day, they won’t shoot like that in Boston. And now, the Bucks need to win in Boston or they’re toast.
More like the Celtics need to win both games in Boston or they're toast. It's one thing to lose by 1 or 2 points to the Bucks in Milwaukee, and another thing to lose by 30 points to the Bucks in Milwaukee.
They need to treat Game 3 as if they are down 0-2. That's how bad it is right now. Still haven't proven that they can fight through adversities yet this season as in they get routed and drop consecutive games. So far they've only beaten an Oladipo-less Pacers team, and a Bucks team who was asleep in Game 1.
Let's see what they're made out of in the postseason in Game 3 of the East Semis. Are they still the same regular season team we've seen all year long, or are they a completely different team.
a loss is a loss.
Team had a terrible game, not just a player or 2, but most of the key players.
And Boston won game 1 by 22 points, so losing game 2 by 21 points is not so bad.
Over 2 games, on the road, Boston has outscored the bucks by 1 point, and that is with the buck shooting super good, and many many celtics players sucking hard, and on the losing end of a 24-2 run.
I will take that any day of the week.
Bucks are in trouble still. Celtics will take game 3 and 4 and possibly close series in game 5.
