Yeah, pretty hilarious reading Celts fans thinking they got jobbed by the refs when they were actually massaging them back in the game with a 17-0 free throw disparity over the last 16 minutes.

Also cracks me up how proud they were that they bullied KD in round one, but now that Giannis is stealing their lunch money they cry because he plays too rough.

I cannot remember which ESPN talking head said it, but the Celtics' plan is to basically "Get in front of Giannis and flop."  It seemed like in game two, they were standing their ground more than flopping.  That kept him out of the paint a lot more and had a "subpar Giannis game" in game 2.

I think Horst is going to be fined with his comments about the officiating.

[HarryDoyle]

Allen is really bad at defense.

[adambr2]

I got money on Bobby > 11.5 tonight, so of course he is just throwing up brick after brick. 

[CdrbrgMark]

It slays me that there are so few, if any posts during these playoff games, Must not be many Bucks fans around here.

Bucks defense and offense pretty poor so far. Their shooting % must be WAY low.

What the heck was that delay of game call?

[adambr2]

They called him for a taunt, and it was a joke. 

[adambr2]

Allen is useless at anything that doesn't involve shooting. Gotta come up with that loose ball. 

[young guns]

I saw it, but I couldn't exactly figure what the announcers were trying to describe as the foul.

[adambr2]

Williams just berating the official and doesn't get T'ed up and Giannis gets one for a staredown. Got it.

[adambr2]

What the hell are we doing? Did we think we had this won in Q3?

[adambr2]

Jrue is almost singlehandedly blowing this game. 

[adambr2]

Jrue -16 and everyone else is positive or neutral. 

 

Brutal. 

[SeaBass]

It's incredible how the Bucks are so capable of bleeding away a 10 pt lead in 2 minutes. It feels like nobody can make a dang shot either.

Also I hate Al Horford, why couldn't he have stayed on the Sixers?

Allen's -10

[DuWayne Steurer]

Getting annihilated by Al Horford (again). 

[adambr2]

They thought they were going to coast when they went up double digits and the C's got in foul trouble and now they've got problems.

[adambr2]

Another brutal shot by Holiday

[adambr2]

Bucks completely embarrassed themselves in the last 12 minutes. 

[DuWayne Steurer]

53 shots for Giannis and Holiday to score 48 points.  That's atrocious.  Not having MIddleton hurts, obviuosly, but someone else needs to be a decent scoring option with Middleton out. 

[adambr2]

Celtics in 7 games is my gut feeling. Giannis is undoubtedly the best player in this series but the Celtics have the better overall starting unit and it is not close. 

[DuWayne Steurer]

Giannis and Holiday shot 18 - 53, the rest of the team shot 20 - 40.  

[adambr2]

I cannot overstate how terrible Jrue Holiday was tonight. He essentially put the Celtics on his shoulders in the 4th quarter tonight to even up this series. 

[nate82]

Need to keep Lopez off of Horford.  Lopez is just not fast enough to cover the paint and get back on Horford at the line.  

[young guns]

I'm ready for horford to retire.
