Celtics (1-0) at Bucks (0-1) Round 2 Game 2 4/30/19

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

That was a pathetic display by the Celtics in the second, and not a great first half overall. Yeah, they're down only 4 on the road, but they led for most of the first half and could've had an even better lead, but they missed too many open looks. Meanwhile, the Bucks can't miss from 3, and the Cs don't look too interested in defending the 3 any better.

It’s a pick your poison thing with that...they’re determined to wall off the pAint from Giannis and he’s passing the ball to the perimeter quicker. They need to make an adjustment for the second half

I disagree the shots are not coming from Giannis' passes.

[gouki88]

I couldn't catch the first half - do people think we're winning this?

How we start the 3rd could determine this game.

If MIL starts off fast and play like they want it, then it'll be 1-1.

I get it. It just seems that teams frequently get hot like this against Boston, and rarely go cold.

Also they need to get the ball in Gordon’s hands more I think he’s handled it 6 times and taken 2 shots

[Greengang5]

Brown is playing well but out of his 3 made shots, 2 were putbacks off O rebounds. Out of those, he's 1-5, or rather 1-4 not counting that end of half heave. Then he has 5 fts, 3+2.

As someone said, he's playing scrappy. He's better this way. Opportunistic scorer. Trying to make him an offensive dynamo would probably hurt his performance and the team.

It's Irving and Hayward that need to step up as shotmakers.

Hayward didn't touch the ball nearly enough in that first half.  Need tun a lot more through him to get the ball moving.

aka keep Rozier off the floor.

We’re definitely in it. We’re 4 pts down and have combined 15 pts from Kyrie, JAylen and Gordon

[Ogaju]

Tatum and Kyrie need to show up in the second half. If they do Cs have a chance.

Yes

Totally! Hayward needs to be a focal point!

[jpotter33]

Atta boy, Kyrie! Way to come out aggressive!

[liam]

Kyrie taking the charge!!!
