UGLY, UGLY GAME>>>

On a night to honor Hondo and after what Ainge has gone through, to come out this flat especially in the 2nd half was pathetic.

At the defining moment of the season they reverted back to the crappy play that plagued them for a lot of the season - with a little help from Kenny Mauer & co.  This team as currently constituted isn't good enough.

Man, Cs just rolled over. Zero fight.

Its not fight.  They’re trying to win too and the bucks are pretty [dang] good.

Bucks are very good, no doubt.... the refs should be neutral though.

I feel embarrassed by how bad the Celts have been the last two games.


Rationally, this makes sense to me.  The Bucks are a much better team and are a horrible matchup for the Celtics.


But irrational fan me believed the Celts could find ways to win more games in this series, especially after how they looked in game 1.


I'm sad.  Oh well. I'm remembering how much I detested this team over the balance of this season.  The off-season will bring changes.

Yeah, this team was just not fun to barrack for. Rozier, Tatum & Morris would routinely combine to give me a literal headache.

At least 2, perhaps all 3 will be gone this off-season

[Ogaju]

TATUM is garbage.

[droopdog7]

Too little too late.

Milwaukee simply plays harder more consistently than Boston does.  The Celtics seem to be able to reach a higher gear than the Bucks can, but Boston far too often plays soft (physically and mentally).

[jpotter33]

Just saw a crazy stat. If you discount garbage time, the Bucks have shot 77% of the TOTAL free throws of the series.

About what we should have expected given they shoot a lot and we shoot a little.

You really are ridiculous. I understand trying to be objective, but you really have wool over your eyes if you think they haven't got a favorable call all series, especially Giannis. Kyrie has been taking it inside plenty, yet he has nowhere near the calls of Giannis.

Tatum needs to be better at finishing at the rim thru contact

[gouki88]

I can't believe I even have to ask this (screw the NBA)... but, do we know who the refs are for tonight?

We have Mauer, Fitzgerald (ugh) and Tony Brown

Mauer is very fair.  Don't like Fitzgerald. Not sure about Tony's rep.

Do they have reputation for calling it close or letting them play? If they let us play physical with GA (like game 1), we will be in great shape. If not (like game 2), we will have problems.

In the few games I've seen Fitzgerald he's always called really soft nonsense. Hopefully Mauer keeps him in line

Turns out they all emulated that loser Fitzgerald!

[blink]

keep fighting C's!!!!!

[SparzWizard]

This team has been like this all season long. When faced with adversities they can't seem to overcome it.

[Kuberski33]

Too little too late.

Who said they'd make a late run and lose by 5 earlier? 

[ozgod]

We’ve shot 16 fts vs 3 for them this qtr

[johnnygreen]

Lol and more refs padding the foul stats when the game is out of hand. 

People who don't see what's going on here are oblivious.

It's embarrassing how obvious it is.
