by FLCeltsFan



This series is far from over. Momentum has been with both teams.

Bucks win game 1, have momentum, lose game 2.
Celtics win game 2, have momentum, lose game 3.
Bucks win game 3, have momentum, lose game 4,
Celtics win game 4, have momentum, lose game 5.
Bucks win game 5, have momentum.......

There will be consternation regarding the officiating

I expect Boston to come out super aggressive to start and if there shots aren't falling I could definitely see some reversion to Tatum and Brown hero ball. Conversely, if the Bucks get off to a nice start that may expedite Tatum and Brown going into that mode.

no idea what to expect. outside of the game where boston went white hot from three, this has been so tight. i hope they aren't mentally tough enough to come back from their collapse but im guessing they are.

We are going to win this game.  Book it.  No way they come back from that crash and burn from last game.  We got this.  

I gotta say it's pretty awesome these games have been scheduled every other day since Saturday. It's going to be great to see Horford doubled-over panting in the 2nd half.

Get in and stay in their jersey the entire game. Their shoulders start to slouch when they miss some shots and don't get calls.

We can still get this without Khris for game 6. We broke their spirits with how last game went. The way Udoka and those guys were talking after the game was very telling.

Prefer this series to not get back to Boston.

Wish the owners would concede a fan swap for this game. I hope Fiserv doesn't look like a neighborhood book club event.

They need to make it a minimum of 4 drinks before you enter Fiserv. Free shots whenever Giannis dunks on Horford.

Well crap, Silver has sent The Equalizer. Scott Foster, Eric Lewis and Ben Taylor. Foster did game 1 but there was nothing to equalize.

Scott Foster extender/equalizer stats aren't accurate fyi. Teams are like .500 in games Foster refs where a team is trailing. Someone on reddit did a breakdown.

I believe. Let’s bury these crying leprechauns.

How about 4 made threes from Giannis tonight.

No, that means like 20 attempts.

I'm fully anticipating a Giannis masterclass performance tonight.

I would love it if we could get a double digit lead in the third or fourth and watch the Celtics confidence melt, like Philly did last night. I don't think they're wired like that, though. I legit think this Celtics team is championship caliber.

this is the series that earns this iteration of the Boston Celtics a ring. They either beat us and believe, or they see what the next level looks like and next year they ascend. But they are very good.

Sadly, whenever Foster is crew chief the officiating can make the difference.

Yep I'll never forget that time Scott foster dribbled into a double team, spun around into a triple team, get the ball stolen by Scott foster, then Scott foster through an alley OOP to Scott foster who slammed it down in a series sealing play. Thank God for Scott foster lol

Is he even that bad of an official really? I've seen dispute over the whole "Foster always favors the team down in a series" stats and also from what I've seen he's not super favorable to foul merchants

I think he refs us favorable for that very last reason. We don’t really have grifters, unless you count the occasional Wes Matthews flop off a screen.   (MY NOTE:  And as long as you don't count that Giannis travels and/or charges on every offensive possession)

You don't get voted "worst referee" by players and coaches without valid reasons. One of the results of that survey was the perception that he helps road teams.  He called Bucks road game 1 win in this series fairly.

Hard not to feel good about tonight. Win one more and get middleton back against the heat. This is the toughest team the bucks will play and under the toughest circumstances. Get through this and a 2nd title is well within reach

I think the Celtics players have lost the respect of the refs with all the flopping and complaining.  Bucks are due for some home cooking & M. Smart is due for one of his epic bad shooting games  (MY NOTE:  Smart with 21 points on 8-16 and 5-9 from 3.  Those are Khris Middleton numbers)

I think Marcus comes out charged up and pi**ed off after the final minutes of game 5. That could work against him. I don’t love his game but have never questioned whether or not he’ll go all out with his back against the wall.

Idk but I am sure the league never wanted Milwaukee to be in this position and has multiple times stepped in to cancel trades and create schedules to try and keep them from getting here, but here we are. They hated that we won last year, they hated it didn't go 7 they hated the Miami sweep.

I believe for the Celtics to win, it would take either a monumental collapse of Bud's schemes/abject failure from those not named Giannis, or a historically epic performance from one of Bostons stars. In absence of those things, this is going to be a blowout. Boston hasn't seen a Game 6 iteration of Giannis in his current form. He's going to have a stellar night.

Who wants to watch Tatum get barbecued, just like his trash junk food endorsement

I hope our boys don't relax and they go out smelling blood tonight. Boston will definitely try to throw a punch in the 1st quarter like they did in game 2. We can't allow Jaylen or anybody else to get hot early, they're streaky guys.

Friday the 13th. Not a good day for four leaf clovers.  (MY NOTE:  It turns out four leaf clovers are an herbal remedy for triskaidekaphobia)

Hot take, I like Scott Foster.

Gotta punch em in the mouth early and sit on em. No hope allowed

I think there are a lot of teams that would get flustered after what happened last game…Celtics aren’t one of those teams. They are gonna come out hot…hope the guys can match that energy.

Celtics have won 5 games in a row when Lewis officiates. Foster doesn't like flopping I guess. So slight edge now Boston?

FYI the last three games Eric Lewis reffed for the Celtics was against the Hornets, Hawks, and Bulls…

it seems the teams with the smartest and competitive coach in this series of ours that advances wins the finals in my opinion!

Does ESPN know two teams are playing tonight? All I hear is Celtics talk

I have a bad/weird feeling about this game. Celtics aren't going down easily & no team has won 2 in a row. I hope I'm wrong.

But if we don’t win, at least we don’t have to pay Jim Harden $270 million through age 37!

Can we get the refs from the last game honestly that was the smoothest game

Scott Foster is out. We have a good record with him right?

Yes they switched to Ref that Celtics are 10-0 in playoffs with

Is this game rigged given that Scott Foster isn't here tonight?

Finally!!! Keep that whistle and I'm not worried AT ALL

why do I feel that the Celtics might hit every 3 pointer tonight

Yeah, I can already feel the L, it’s gonna be a celtics rains 3s on the bucks type of game ffs   (MY NOTE:  17-43 from 3, 39.5%)

Horford got Grayson's arm and no call.

Giannis is in finals mode, Celtics in shambles

That's a terrible call, in no way was Grant set

They knew they couldn’t give Giannis 3 calls in a row.

We’re gonna foul out the whole Celtics team at this point lol

Not calling travels on Brown?

Hey good news for Boston fans, there will be a huge FT discrepancy they can spend all summer pretending is evidence of bad refereeing   (MY NOTE:  In the end we took 23ftas vs 18 for them.  So, feel free pretending that's evidence of bad referreeing, or that the league hates Milwaukee and Giannis, which they don't)

Close out Giannis is in the building. He don’t miss ft’s

Find yourself a grandchild who will talk to you in the nursing home as much as Jayson Tatum talks to the refs.

ESPN GUY CALLING US FLOPPERS?! WHAT A JOKE

we just gotta take their punch. hang in there. they cant shoot like this all game right lol

they have before

they really callin the Bucks floppers lol

We’re just better. Good luck keeping up by making threes.

boston are heavily relying on their 3s with 9 of their 10 FGA being from there

all it took was for them to not drain every 3 and we're back in

Horford's special ability is being allowed to foul Giannis as much as he wants

Horford could get called for a foul on every possession. Just a master at below the arms pushing. Frustrating.

Oh look Tatum complaining while we drive down and score.

Bucks crowd is locked in

White looks like he was always a part of the blackbird reading group

Tatum was too busy pestering the refs and couldn't get back on the 3.

Smother Tatum and make Smart beat us

Marcus Smart just can't stay on his feet can he.

Smart back on the floor like the garbage he is.

Is there an over/under for the number of times Smart goes to the floor?

Not only is Marcus Smart shooting like prime Steph but he’s also flopping like usual

Of course Marcus Smart turns into Ray Allen

Horford finally getting exposed as someone who CAN'T guard Giannis

Marcus Smart killing is way worse than him flopping man

First horford now smart going to have the game of his life

Brook garbage, Hill garbage, Allen garbage

If George Hill suddenly got a really bad hangnail and couldn't play anymore, i wouldn't be mad, since apparently Bud can't figure out that he sucks and is going to keep playing him

24 out of 28 of their points are from threes. I’ll take being only down 2.

Leave them wide open from 3 praying progressional basketball players miss. Awesome strategy Bud.

I'd play the odds that Smart doesn't hit all those 3s as the game goes on. He's really kept Boston alive with those 3s.

Marcus Smart kind of carrying Boston

yall might not wanna hear this but smart is a good defender, he does flop sometimes but it's not his only trick like people made it out to be.

Man let Theis catapult a shot up from 3 who cares

Why does this sh**ter Theis never miss

F*** Jaylen for hockey checking Giannis in the face

Williams blatantly hip checking Giannis in the face. It seriously should've been a flagrant 2

Celtics aren't going to hit 53% 59% of their three point attempts all night long, will they?  WILL THEY??

are they gonna miss a three at some point?

Literally 30 of their 38 points have come from 3. Bud i think it's time to guard the f***ing 3.

I'll tip my hat to the Celtics if they continue to shoot 59% from 3.

Not sure I would have believed White vs Allen would be the difference in this series but d**n

Jrue is so stupid

Could the fans attempt to make some noise? I think yawning would be louder than this crowd.   (MY NOTE:  Wait until Game 7.  Then you'll hear some NOISE!!!)

Lol. I love the game threads. We’re going to win this game, you guys.

Spoiler alert. Bucks will be up 3 to start the 4th.

Yeah, no. Not tonight. If we’re winning this game, it’s because the Celtics got lazy again and blew another one.

Get Grayson out the f***ing game

There it is. Tatum takes a shot, falls down and looks for the whistle.

Grayson needs to never see the court again this series

Outside of Giannis this team looks like dog sh** again

Yea we stink see y’all game 7

When is tatum’s b**cha** gonna get T’d up for complaining after every d**n call??

Why TF is the crowd always so quiet on broadcasts from Fiserv? You could barely hear the announcers in the Boston game.

Imagine basing your whole game plan on flopping strategies Celtics are f***ing clowns   (MY NOTE:  Imagine basing your whole game plan on daring professional basketball players to shoot and hit 3s)

What are these calls Derrick White gets?

I hate charges it’s not real defense sorry

All those offense rebounds and jump balls and we don’t score

We could still win. We could still win game 7. But I couldn't be more disappointed in our guys. Just pathetic.

Grant Williams literally started crying to the refs before his feet touched the ground after that 3...

The only thing worse than the Bucks 3 game this series is Boston's paint game.

Is it me or does Tatum look gassed?

Guys like White are hitting hero shots and we can’t even make wide open threes.

Bucks you are aware you have to go back to boston if you lose.

On the bright side, the second half cant be worse than this right?

White, such a bum yet makes everything he throws in the general direction of the basket

There’s no way the NBA would want this to end tonight guys, this was a scheduled loss and bucks take game 7

Why does George hill play he f***s up defensive rotations, he brings nothing to the offense except bricks

Because he's buds friend from their San Antonio days  It's f***ing disgusting and is costing us games


Zero, and I mean zero, offensive sets/plays. This whole "play free" crap is beyond frustrating sometimes. I truly despise Bud at times

Fans at the game need to start booing Allen for motivation lol

That would require them to make noise. Anit happening.

Kinda pathetic Bud is getting out coached by a first year head coach.

These Refs went in knowing that they had to do everything in their power to force a game 7.

I didn’t know Refs made us shoot 35% from the field

Tatum complaining while his push-off is allowed multiple times in a possession is just a terrible look.

Have to give credit to the Celtics perimeter d tonight. Bucks are getting absolutely no open looks from deep

Our home crowd will always be a problem. All the cheerful fans are outside and it's a big problem

Can’t watch the game cuz I’m at work, but Bucks in Six! Hope someone’s helping Giannis

Man do I have some bad news for you

Crowd is flat as he**. Feels like a regular season game

Bucks are doing absolutely nothing to fire the crowd up.

Home court advantage can go **** itself

See you in Boston. It's over.

I don’t know if Grayson Allen is the ugliest good looking person I’ve ever seen or the best looking ugly person I’ve ever seen… but he’s one of them.

Tatum can’t f***ing miss

Okay, now I'm starting to feel the doom & gloom. We are completely lifeless out there

We playing like we want a game 7 in Boston

Allen’s abilities shrunk after the Jaylen Brown crossover

When Boston shoots well, they shoot WELL.

That's **** ridiculous. Tatum can't drive without pulling some ****, whether a pushoff or grab or whatever.

Who’s this ref who’s in love withTatum? Sheesh

I guess we’re cool with going to Boston where they’ll have the crowd advantage with all the momentum

The Celtics are moving the ball well and abusing our defense. We’re chucking up contested shots. Only one of these is a winning formula.

All they do is practice flopping and 3 pointers.

They’re hitting like 30 footers now

Giannis’ 4 fouls compared to the contact he takes on these shots is embarrassing to the NBA

They're not giving Giannis any calls and they're trying to foul him out.

Celtics coach with the most useless facemask use of all time

I swear they give jaylen brown the softest calls in the 3rd quarter.   Grant Williams could do what Bobby just did and wouldn’t get called for it.


Scott Foster isn’t there but his spirit sure is

The “Wall” is just referees swallowing the whistle on Giannis getting fouled lol

A Celtic laying on the ground how shocking

Finally they call the push off he does every play on Tatum

Tatum really throws out his left arm into everyone who guards him wtf is that

This sh** is legit rigged

It's 8 on 5, as we knew it would be tonight. This is a predetermined result.

I hate how much refs cheat for Tatum... he was not fouled by Matthews and he traveled

That dumba** Marcus Smart lucky bounce 3 is the reason why it went up from 8 to 11 when we could’ve cut it to 6 or 5

I never thought I’d say it but I rather have Jeff Teague than George Hill

Derrick White & Jaylen Brown always get the softest whistle.

Why does Derrick white get a better whistle than GA and jrue hahaha make it make sense

Boston is not going to implode again, especially if Bud continues being a dumb a** and willingly playing liabilities like Hill/Allen. This is over.

PSA - If you secure the rebound, don’t hand it to the other team.

Bro I swear grant has like 15 fouls

Pritchard trying to “take a charge” from Giannis was hilarious y’all

Refs really thinking that they need to balance their block and charge calls. Nobody can stop giannis except horford sometimes.

Celtics have outsourced us every quarter…We need to really outplay them this quarter.

Boston has never seen a 4th quarter lead they didn't want to blow

Giannis deciding to go at Horford is insane at this point

As much as Al Horford annoys me I respect his game/defense

Do you think Boston fans are confused as to why the home team is down in the 4th and yet the fans aren’t evacuating the stadium?

Tatum is just killing us

To be fair, those were some awful shots by Tatum. He misses those and blows the game, and be gets all the blame.

Hill please foul out

I hate George Hill. Dude needs to be thrown in the river.

Tatum just unreal tonight. Wow.

Tatum is forreal. Can't even hate.

Figures that the Celtics can make these prayer shots one after another.

That's a dagger. Hopefully Tatum cools off by Sunday.

Good thing we put Hill on Tatum to let him get in rhythm all game long

Would be much closer right now if Bud wasn’t infatuated with Hill

They are so much better than us that it feels amazing whenever they have less than a double digit lead.

Going to lose cuz of Tatum best game of his life same with horford when he had 30

Marcus Smart took away all legitimacy from the DPOY award

Put the real DPOY on Tatum

Honestly, this Tatum performance serves them right. Can't just decide to play some real basketball in the 4th quarter and pull it out of your a**. Where has the intensity been all game?

Tatum is annoying

Yeah make this super inefficient player called Tatum look like a superstar by NEVER EVER having Giannis or Jrue guarding him. Let's build the legacy of this guy single handedly.

Jayson Tatum is everything bad with basketball. A whining b**ch who has a good game once every 5 games

Idk I’m not a tinfoil dude but tatum is lucky he got drafted to the Boston Celtics at the right time. He’s straight up shredding us tonight

These lucky pieces of sh** make everything.

Jrue is pulling a Harden here .. no shot attempts in the 4th … amazing

Jrue is trash in the PnR. Just holds it every time way too long.

I don’t even know what you do lol Tatum is having his best playoff game ever, sh** is just impressive

I’ll take a monumental collapse by the Celtics for 500, bob

Never seen a team hit 3s like this, ever.

Celtics have a few bums making everything every game and no one but giannis can do anything on offense for the bucks. That's the reason this series isn't over

Al Horford has actually 1 personal foul.   LMAO, this is the worst stat of this game. How can the man who is literally fouling on every single possession have 1 personal foul, ONE, JUST ONE, in 40mins of that?   I don't even care about losing. How can he have ONE D**N FOUL?

Would love to see some hard fouls coming here but we ain't got it in us

How embarrassingly transparent that we were never supposed to win this game.

These refs, man.

Celtics won’t get this hot again from 3 this is just unreal   (MY NOTE:  39.5% is good, but it's not Holy Crap! good)

White is like a foul magnet. He does have a pity me face

Game is over. Just wish the refs would stop falling for Celtic flops

I frankly wouldn't be surprised if Hill somehow got -5 points.

Did Bud bet money against the Bucks lol ?

Refs on Boston's side this game. They got away with so many travels this game

I hate this game. I hate Tatum

Fire Mike Budenholzer, he is just another Doc Rivers that carried by superstar to a championship.  He is the most overrated coach right now in the league!

lets tell george hill game 7 is on Monday

Pls fire Bud

This might be the series. Hard to imagine the bucks can win game 7 in boston.

Aside from this game, Tatum is just a glorified Carmelo Anthony  (MY NOTE:  Tatum plays defense.  Melo never did)

I’m so glad george hill was in to guard Tatum and let him get hot and then continue to be a liability in every aspect of the game

I forgot .. Hill brings his Veteran experience and defensive acumen … that’s what Bud said before game 2

just to be clear, i have the right to wish tatum breaks his leg. it’s not like a have a power to make my wishes be true.

Tatum ain't getting 46 again. We'll be alright

Can’t beat a hot shooting team and the refs

This is classic rigged NBA going to game 7 and nobody can tell me otherwise

George Hill was in on it the entire time apparently

Boston earned it, wire to wire. But can we talk about how stupid it is that you only get one challenge even if you win it? You should be able to keep challenging as long as you’re f***ing right.   (MY NOTE:  Not a bad idea, makes sense, but the NBA and the networks are afraid the game would get slowed down too much because of all those reviews)

The discrepancy in whistle between Giannis and Tatum driving is f***ing absurd.

Entire Boston forum after the last loss: Durrrr it’s over, durrr can’t win anymore, what a terrible season, we always choke durrrr. Had to win this one, no chance How on earth could you have that mentality given the Bucks trend of not taking care of business when it’s handed to them? How did you not think you were going to win this one?


They would call every "charge" on giannas but never call charges on the Celtics?

Stop blaming the f***ing refs when Boston makes 17 threes and We made what, 6?  Sh** pi**es me off. They got outplayed and Tatum caught fire. Onto game 7.


Gotta give Tatum his just due. He was on fire. However, Bud could have played a defender that would face guard Tatum, like Carter.

I’m not liking our chances on Sunday at all

George has been plenty impactful. He's gotten Tatum in rhythm multiple times, and made it so we play 4v5 on offense.  The man is having a tremendous impact


Everyone but Giannis and Pat should walk home

If george hill plays more than 2 minutes in game 7 we are going to lose

He won't because Middleton will hopefully be absorbing his minutes

Everybody but Giannis should be f***ing ashamed of themselves

Tatum was more to blame for our loss than any of the Bucks.

Say all you want about Tatum but the Celts won with Horford scoring 2 points….so yeah, we are in trouble.  Giannis needs to guard Tatum all the time.

Kris has to play game 7. Get him a wheelchair if he has to, still better than George

GUYS, GUYS. Chill. This is all premeditated. The Bucks wanted to bring the Celtics-killer KMidd in game 7 and drop 50.

Khris will play, and this Boston team will crumble

Tatum did really well on Jrue. Completely clamped him.

Just want to tip my hat to Boston. Celts came out and hit their shots with great D. No bullsh**, they flat out won this game

To be fair, a Bucks Celtics game 7 is going to be awesome.


Bob


.

I gotta say it's pretty awesome these games have been scheduled every other day since Saturday. It's going to be great to see Horford doubled-over panting in the 2nd half.

[u]Remove the name Horford, insert the name Giannis and you’ll be spot on.[u]

Who wants to watch Tatum get barbecued, just like his trash junk food endorsement

Jayson’s Trash = Cash.$$$$$ U ain’t know?

Brook garbage, Hill garbage, Allen garbage

If George Hill suddenly got a really bad hangnail and couldn't play anymore, i wouldn't be mad, since apparently Bud can't figure out that he sucks and is going to keep playing him

I don’t know if Grayson Allen is the ugliest good looking person I’ve ever seen or the best looking ugly person I’ve ever seen… but he’s one of them

Looks like a GD teenage Serial Killer

I never thought I’d say it but I rather have Jeff Teague than George Hill

Careful what you wish for. Jeff’s still fogging up a mirror somewhere

Hill please foul out

lets tell george hill game 7 is on Monday

HILARIOUS! Last time I witnessed this kind of hate was when one named Tristan Thompson wore Kelly Green

Everyone but Giannis and Pat should walk home
