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

The shadow of Ken Mauer's head alone must weigh 50 pounds.

Big picture:

Danny Ainge signed Hayward and traded for Kyrie.  We knew we had a couple years to see how good Kyrie, Hayward, and Horford could be. 

Due to nobody's fault, Hayward got hurt.  That knocked him out as a major piece for basically a year and a half, and even now he's not 100%.


At the end of this two year stretch it's looking like this group just isn't good enough.


Not the end of the world.  Back to the drawing board.  Question now is -- can they make a big move to create a more dangerous core, or do they take a step back and be young for a while, wait for the next opportunity to add a guy who could be MVP caliber?

[Scottiej23]

Too little too late.

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

That would be me.

[blink]

why did they stop the play there?/???

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.

They were the much better team all year and it’s showing.  How hard is they to comprehend?

[SparzWizard]

That a was a stupid random whistle that helped the Bucks ****

Best analysis I've seen of the current situation.

I can’t believe Brook Lopez and Mirotic are locking up our guys on switches. We can’t do **** against them so pathetic.

This team doesn’t deserve to advance.

[BringToughnessBack]

Fans were pretty pathetic as well which is really bizarre.

[ozgod]

To hell with home court we didn’t need it anyway 

Let’s win game 4 and steal another one over there again

100% agree.

[Banner18now!]

Hayward going to kill their cap for years. Completely useless 

[LarBrd33]

It’s over.  Bring on the culling.

Give those guys credit, they're big and surprisingly agile.  And they have confidence because they know that Giannis is lying in wait as a help defender.

Yep. Crowd didn't sound loud or energetic tonight. Strange.
