Bucks (1-1) at Celtics (1-1) Round 2 Game 3 5/3/19

Any idea why Terry and no Hayward?

Rozier has been terrible yet again tonight.

I know the free throws and refs suck but we are soft as hell and putting up nothing but bricks. It’s not the refs fault Rozier and Kyrie and Gordon can’t put the [dang] ball in the basket. Funny how there was all this morning from Kyrie about the young guys and in this series when their backs are against the wall he’s a complete no show. Bad Gordon is back too this series is over.

[Ogaju]

Very passive defense from Tatum to let Bledsoe get to the rim so easily

I just wrote the same thing too.

that kind of def isn't going to get us back in the game.  if i was Brad I would sit ANYONE who played def like that in crunch time.  we can't have it.

Tatum should have been sitting a long time ago

[RockinRyA]

Next game hope smart gets to play. Limit.minutes for tatum and rozier and increase brown's

[Chief]

Maybe Marcus on Monday

[Phantom255x]

Don't see us coming back from a 2-1 deficit 

[Kuberski33]

This series is probably over if they can’t get any sort of production from the bench. That’s been the difference tonight.

The bench is only combined for 9 points. Sad.

2 Semi 3's, 1 Hayward 3 - that's it.

[CelticSooner]

Going to be really hard to win this series if the refs won't let the C's play defense. Just aren't a good enough offensive team to try win in the 100's.

[Atzar]

Giannis is doing Giannis things, but really the difference is in bench production IMO.  They've gotten big lifts from Connaughton and Hill.  We have 9 points on 13 shots combined. 

The starters are having to do literally all of the work, and that's a lot to ask. 

[droopdog7]

Man, the refs aren’t why we’re losing.  We CANNOT get any easy looks against them.  Obviously that will wear the team down over time.  It’s basicslly threes or nothing.

You really love to absolve everyone but the players of any and all blame

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Per him, Giannis and Milwaukee are getting a fair whistle, even when any non-blind person can see two different officiating standards out there, and the NBA coach's job is essentially minimal, especially in the game. It's nonsense, of course, per usual.

Come on.  It’s simple, they can get consistently better shots.  Over the course of a game, the cream rises to the top.  The refs are ONLY a story here.  Nowher else.

Hayward is not exactly lighting it up either. But we are better without Smart right?

[PhoSita]

Hey maybe spending the whole year developing bad habits instead of figuring out how to band together when things get tough was, like, a bad way to set the team up to win hard playoff games?

[Ogaju]

the bad thing is the fouls on Giannis  are WEAK fouls

[jpotter33]

Any idea why Terry and no Hayward?

Rozier has been terrible yet again tonight.

When is he not terrible?

The only positive that would come out of an early playoff exit is a quicker end to the Rozier era in Boston. So done with his below average BBIQ ass.

[slamtheking]

difference in the teams tonight is that the Bucks players have stepped up to the challenge.  The C's players, other than Brown and to some extent Morris, have not.  Kyrie, Al and Hayward have to score more and Tatum and Kyrie need to play D.  Rozier needs to find another occupation
