Next Up - Bucks @ Celtics, Round 2, Game 3 Friday 5/3/2019 8:00 PM

The Celtics tip off against the Buck tonight in game 3.

They got blown off the court in game 2. I think we win tonight. What do you think?

We had several guys that just could not make shots and most were makeable.

What stood out on game 2 was the fact that Eric Bledsoe was real aggressive on offense unlike game 1. Also Boston eventually experienced a breakdown in their defensive schemes. Not enough help on Giannis and no real effort to close out the perimeter shooters.

Once the flood gates swung open it turned into a free-for-all. It seemed every Buck turned into a great shooter. That is what happens when you stop defending at a high level.

There will be highs and lows during this series. As fans we should expect this to happen. The Bucks are not chopped liver. They are an excellent team but I think our team is better provided our guys do their jobs and do them well.

It's funny but if Boston continued to defend and made a few more shots here or there the Bucks would have struggled to win game 2.

Some home cooking and familiar bed sheets should do the trick.

Prayers go out to Danny Ainge for a speedy recovery. We could have lost him the other day just like we lost DJ.

Boston is still by far the most talented team left of the 8 remaining. We've discussed this many times before.

What happens with a team that has significantly more talent that those around them is they tend to slack off, become bored, go to sleep at the switch, etc. That was G2 and we've seen it all through this season.

I tell my daughter at college who is a music major and a very talented vocalist that she cannot fall asleep at the switch. There will ALWAYS be someone with way less talent than you who will work their ass off and beat you or outperform you or even take your scholarship away from you.

I'm not saying MIL is way less talented than we are, but they certainly aren't more talented by any stretch. Again, this is why DA brought in KI.

I'm not predicting a blowout but KI will not be a problem tonight. But he will need to bring everyone with him this time to make his life easier for sure. When we finally see this fully operational battle station for BOS, no one is going to believe it. But it's coming soon to a theater near you.

The Celtics need to hold serve tonight playing in front of their fans.

Malcolm Brogdon is out for game 3.

Kyrie, Jason, Gordon and Terry went a combined 9-43 or 21% from the field.

That is no going to happen tonight.

We need to hold serve three times...a tall order. I still believe we are going to have to win another time on their court to take their championship aspirations away from them. They are no joke.

But if we do hold our own, things start looking really good! Take Kyrie at his word.

Db it is one game at a time. The only relevant game is tonight. They need to focus on this game 100%.

Celtics need to take at least one at home, doesn't seem there's any debate there. But which one is more important? The first.

Tonight is especially critical IMO. Bucks win tonight, and Big Mo is on their side.

Celtics know that well. I expect we'll see an all-out effort from them tonight.

apparently we need to discuses this more !

On paper, the Cs may have to best talent, but they are currently playing without their heart and soul player.
