Bucks vs Celtics series thread

[CheezWizHed]

Has Nwora invented the mullet-fro?

[HarryDoyle]

Keys to win game 7: 

Sit Grayson Allen. 

Change your defensive philosophy.

Play Middleton if at all possible even if it’s limited minutes .

Pray Boston doesn’t shoot the lights out again. See point 2.

[nate82]

Without Middleton this team is just not that good offensively and it is basically just whatever Giannis can do.

Bucks in 7?

 

Honestly we're lucky to even be in the position where that's a possibility. Maybe we win Game 7 because Giannis is Giannis but Boston is so much better and deeper than we are. Khris would certainly help but they're still much deeper. 

Horst is an incredibly overrated GM, he was gifted Giannis and Middleton and he's never been able to do much to build around them. Bledsoe was a flop, Nikolai Mirotic gave us nothing.  He's surrounded our core with aging vets on their last legs, Ibaka could not have been more worthless of an acquisition and guys like Hill, Matthews, and Allen offer next to nothing. Even Lopez looks cooked. 

[HarryDoyle]

Yes, Boston is a better team, at least with Middleton out. It’s amazing this series is going seven. If Bud doesn’t make the necessary adjustments this series loss will be on him just as much as everyone else not named Giannis.

[CdrbrgMark]

What a horrible, pitiful game. Bucks looked like they never really wanted to win. Don't think they'll win in Boston. Celts are just too strong at both ends of the court.

[adambr2]

Not going into Game 7 with very high expectations. Maybe Boston has an off game and we move on. If so, great. If not, oh well. This series should have been lost by now anyway.

I know you're aware they've had almost no cap room for years.  Somehow he was able to get Holiday and they won a chip.

I'm not saying Holiday wasn't a major contributor, but the main components of our championship came from pieces that were put in place years before Horst was GM. He got them to stay? So I guess there's that.

[CdrbrgMark]

How much & how long for Bud's remaining  contract?

[GAME05]

I'd have been happier seeing Carter and Thanassis and Nwora on the floor. Boston could permanently double-team Giannis at this point and we might only score 50 for the game, with 40 of that still coming from Giannis. Milwaukee is such a mediocre team when they sit back and make Giannis do everything.

[SomewhereInTime]

So much for the Deer District, was fun while it lasted.

[CdrbrgMark]

I see Allen is starting again today. Bud, you're an idiot.

[CdrbrgMark]

Allen playing a lot in this game. He has made absolutely NO contribution so far.

[HarryDoyle]

How much do I hate Grayson Allen? Let me count the ways.

[adambr2]

Shooting our usual 20ish percent from downtown today I see. 

[CdrbrgMark]

Jrue playing defense, but that's about all. Lopez looking prettty good today.

[adambr2]

Giannis giving everything he has to keep this train moving but his supporting cast is just complete garbage.

[adambr2]

Wouldn't be the end of the 1st half if Giannis wasn't picking up a cheap foul. 

[CdrbrgMark]

Why,why,why is Allen playing? He has 1 point on a free throw.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Giannis sure has a knack for doing some awfully dumb, reckless stuff.

[Sir Illo]

Not saying he’s the key to a win or loss but if George Hill plays another minute for the Bucks, it will be one minute too many. Never will understand why Bud didn’t keep giving those minutes to Carter or at least give them back to Carter once it was clear (pretty quickly) that Hill has nothing to offer. Yet he keeps trotting him out there.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Allen stinks, but I don't blame Bud for sticking with him. They desperately need someone to provide a boost offensively and they don't really have the luxury of benching historically good shooters. 

 

3/19 is the story of the game so far. They just can't continue to shoot like this. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Goose is cooked 

[HarryDoyle]

It’s a miracle this series went seven games.
