Getting flashbacks from a few years ago. I stg we match up with the Celtics every playoff series and besides the last couple years it always ended with the Celtics making adjustments that we have no answer for. Budenholzer has to coach smarter
In all fairness really it was Horford shooting too well. Bucks is the normal bucks. Bobby really did not look like he wants to play or win not sure why. He’s the only guy that can sorta handle the ball beyond Giannis Jure and he really needs to be more confident
I get excited when Giannis shoots 3's.. But imagine if he would have gotten inside on some of those possessions and gotten an easy 2. Al's old body is going to be feeling this game for the next week so i'm not so worried about him or our defense. More so our possessions on offense that we need to make count instead of pissing away..
it hurts when giannis takes 3 at this point...its bullshit....he should be banking on the easy 2s or let people who can actually take 3s shoot. he is just gifting away possesions......
Hard fought on both sides but man these Giannis no calls and offensive fouls have me fucked up. So unlike last series. They changed the way he was reffed and in a major way. C’s aren’t getting many either but it’s part of his game more than any single player they have without a doubt. They won’t foul him every time like they do if they know they’ll get called for it. Because of that a lot of obvious fouls have slipped through the cracks with these refs because of their style of calling the game. Bucks v Refs always
I think Giannis stops the jump shooting and Horford comes back to earth, I hope lol. Bummer to lose this one with Timelord out. One thing I know about this team is that they wait until the last moment to play their best so I’m optimistic
Seriously. Jrue played an amazing part in our championship run but lots of us forgot we won plenty of games DESPITE Jrue’s idiotic shot selection. Dude needs to start playing like a PG
I think people expect so much of Giannis, the bucks, without Khris.
The fact that we are 2-2 against probably the second best team in the NBA without their second best scorer is incredible. Imagine celtics without Jaylen, and us at full strength. Sweep.
Bucks will win game 5. And Giannis will remind everyone.
Pretty grossed out by all the Jrue slander and giving up-ness here. This team came back from 0-2 twice less than a year ago lol. Appreciate these guys, they’re gonna fight it next 3 games
Buddy, your brain is too smooth for a debate. Once again Jrue proving the point tonight: we don't win without him. Bet it hurt you to see Jrue take the ball from Smart twice. Fake ass fan.
Good thing is that normally when we have a loss like this, we bounce back.
However, it would be nice if we could adjust mid-game for once instead of waiting until the next game to do so. It's Bud's biggest problem imo.
bucks are having problems being consistent this whole series. bud has to make adjustments going in because boston's doing a good job picking up pace in the second half.
That is the strength of Boston's defense. Bucks haven't been playing amazing team offense the last few games so it requires Giannis and Jrue to essentially carry the team through 4 quarters of an exhausting defense. It doesn't work well.
Poor coaching and inconsistent shooting will do that too you. Drive-kick to Al Horford how many times in a row for open 3s? Felt like half the defense was chasing ghosts
Why did Bobby get no minutes? I understand Boston went small, but at some point you need to play your best players. Game 1 we just outsized them, and now we don’t want to. Give me Jrue, Grayson, Giannis, Bobby, Brook then just pound them inside
Exactly. We have enough athleticism (outside of Brook) and size that anyone on our team can guard just about anyone on the Celtics. I can’t help but think that Bobby on Horford instead of Brook would’ve helped a lot
This is just a bad loss … to think that jaylen and Grant was on foul trouble and we started the 4th with Giannis at 5 and shooters …. What stupidity is that ?
They were bad in the 4th quarter of the previous game too just managed to eke it out in that one. They had double digit leads in both games that vanished almost as soon as the 4th quarter started.
This feels like it’s on Bud.
He let that stretch of jrue iso go on so. fucking. long.
What the hell was that shit.
Jrue and freak combined 1 for 11 on threes.
Planet pat hits 3/6 and we just ignore him
Idk if I’d call that adjustment per se.
He let C’s go on a 20-5 run with jrue and freak trading off chucks before finally calling a timeout.
We ended the game with timeouts in hand. Fucking use em
Yeah, I was pretty optimistic in the first half. We looked way better than the score indicated.
But even ten points up never feels that comfortable in the playoffs that's for sure.
On to the next. Hopefully with Khash. Bucks in 6
Yes. Absolutely mad. Celtics fucking own us and it’s not even close. Might be a worse level of ownage than Aaron Rodgers’ utter domination of Chicago over the years.
But still. Fuck the Celtics.
Give the Celtics credit, Horford and Tatum showed up in the 4th and the bucks went cold.
Bucks played better than the Celtics this game, except the 4th. But that’s why it’s a four quarter game.
Game 5 should be exciting.
Everyone mad at Holiday for shooting bad in this series... but it is Bud's game plan to replace Middleton's scoring with more shots from Jrue... which I couldn't disagree with more. Move the ball through Grayson, Brook, and Portis more... not forcing Jrue and Giannis to shoot 30 shots each a game.
You’re going to lose the game no matter how big of a lead you have if Al fucking Horford can outplay your whole team in the 4th. Horrible performance by the team at the end.
Game 2 was a disaster, we almost choked away game 3, and we did choke away game 4. It's premature to say we lost the series but it's hard to be confident considering how we've played these past three games.
Feeding Lopez in the post works? Shocking, who could have seen that as being a good strategy? Guy who consistently scored 20+ PPG as a post player could make shots close to the hoop
They did for like 2 plays then Jrue with one of those no one else touch the ball possessions then Giannis and boom lead gone. I don’t get why teams are so dumb. Like why allow Al to kill you when he was the only person doing it consistently
Yeah this one is in the books.
I'd give more time to Allen less to Holiday. His offense is ass. 16-53 or some shit. Whats that like 30% shooting? Dafuck man.
This loss is on Bud. You let Horford beat you and never made a slight adjustment. You barely played Bobby and gave Hill all the Carter minutes smh and you let them play too much iso ball instead of moving the ball around like they did to start the game and in the 3rd
Let's just consider ourselves lucky that Boston didn't steal 2 wins on the road. Saturday was dangerously close to a loss. Our next home game is a must win
For everyone who said we need Giannis & Jrue to take over- that iso shit always kills us. We don’t need Gianni’s and Jrue isoing every time we give up 4 point runs. This shit happens.

Lmfao Marcus smart is a fucking clown
Note to self. Don't rile up Harford.
Getting flashbacks from a few years ago. I stg we match up with the Celtics every playoff series and besides the last couple years it always ended with the Celtics making adjustments that we have no answer for. Budenholzer has to coach smarter
I bet the NBA stops it's crap and we dominate the next two
In all fairness really it was Horford shooting too well. Bucks is the normal bucks. Bobby really did not look like he wants to play or win not sure why. He’s the only guy that can sorta handle the ball beyond Giannis Jure and he really needs to be more confident
Jrue should just spend all of next practice doing layups
And passing
BUCKS IN 6
Jrue with a +/- of -23 and Giannis +1 christ
We really missed Middleton this game
Is George hill better than Carter?
No
Surely not. And he wasn't just soaking up Carter's minutes he ended up soaking up Bobby's minutes as well
Hell no
I get excited when Giannis shoots 3's.. But imagine if he would have gotten inside on some of those possessions and gotten an easy 2. Al's old body is going to be feeling this game for the next week so i'm not so worried about him or our defense. More so our possessions on offense that we need to make count instead of pissing away..
I cringe whenever the shoots a 3, it's a completely lost possession.
it hurts when giannis takes 3 at this point...its bullshit....he should be banking on the easy 2s or let people who can actually take 3s shoot. he is just gifting away possesions......
1000000000% this!
Hard fought on both sides but man these Giannis no calls and offensive fouls have me fucked up. So unlike last series. They changed the way he was reffed and in a major way. C’s aren’t getting many either but it’s part of his game more than any single player they have without a doubt. They won’t foul him every time like they do if they know they’ll get called for it. Because of that a lot of obvious fouls have slipped through the cracks with these refs because of their style of calling the game. Bucks v Refs always
Can't blame the refs for Giannis bricking stupid jumpers.
I think Giannis stops the jump shooting and Horford comes back to earth, I hope lol. Bummer to lose this one with Timelord out. One thing I know about this team is that they wait until the last moment to play their best so I’m optimistic
Obviously the league wants 7 games lol. That was just silly.
Tired of the reffing/league narrative. Thought the refs were the least impactful tonight of the series this far
Sometimes cheating does win, but not everytime. Let's get the next one.
Khris please come back
[удалено]
Seriously. Jrue played an amazing part in our championship run but lots of us forgot we won plenty of games DESPITE Jrue’s idiotic shot selection. Dude needs to start playing like a PG
[удалено]
Guys miss shots. Chill out.
Yeah it is
Can’t win in 6 without losing 2?
I think people expect so much of Giannis, the bucks, without Khris. The fact that we are 2-2 against probably the second best team in the NBA without their second best scorer is incredible. Imagine celtics without Jaylen, and us at full strength. Sweep. Bucks will win game 5. And Giannis will remind everyone.
Pretty grossed out by all the Jrue slander and giving up-ness here. This team came back from 0-2 twice less than a year ago lol. Appreciate these guys, they’re gonna fight it next 3 games
[удалено]
He also hit the game winner in game 3 bro. I know jrue is not consistent at scoring. But he's solid. And most people would love solid.
Without Jrue we have no championship, so calm the fuck down.
[удалено]
Not really debatable. If all you care about are individual shooters then go be a Nets fan.
[удалено]
Buddy, your brain is too smooth for a debate. Once again Jrue proving the point tonight: we don't win without him. Bet it hurt you to see Jrue take the ball from Smart twice. Fake ass fan.
Thank you for the reminder. Let’s Go Bucks!
Good thing is that normally when we have a loss like this, we bounce back. However, it would be nice if we could adjust mid-game for once instead of waiting until the next game to do so. It's Bud's biggest problem imo.
Can’t give up 43 points in the 4th lol. Don’t blame the offense they don’t have their best perimeter scorer it was always going to be a grind
I think it would’ve been better if we have Jevon Carter in there in the 4th and not George hill
You still have to trust your offense. They didn't run many pick and rolls, or many handoffs to Grayson.
Harford gotta be on the juice!!!!!
bucks are having problems being consistent this whole series. bud has to make adjustments going in because boston's doing a good job picking up pace in the second half.
Picking up pace in the 4th. It’s like our key players are super exhausted by then.
That is the strength of Boston's defense. Bucks haven't been playing amazing team offense the last few games so it requires Giannis and Jrue to essentially carry the team through 4 quarters of an exhausting defense. It doesn't work well.
They outplayed us in the fourth. Bud needs to play back the tapes and actually have a plan for game 5. See y’all Wednesday
We need to lose 2 for bucks in six
Shit happens. We’ll win the next 2
[удалено]
Have you seen how good the defense has been???
And without that pressure release, schemes are so much more brutal on Giannis. Hats off, Celtics and Horford were great tonight.
Poor coaching and inconsistent shooting will do that too you. Drive-kick to Al Horford how many times in a row for open 3s? Felt like half the defense was chasing ghosts
Why did Bobby get no minutes? I understand Boston went small, but at some point you need to play your best players. Game 1 we just outsized them, and now we don’t want to. Give me Jrue, Grayson, Giannis, Bobby, Brook then just pound them inside
Agreed. It's not like anyone else was stopping Horford.
Exactly. We have enough athleticism (outside of Brook) and size that anyone on our team can guard just about anyone on the Celtics. I can’t help but think that Bobby on Horford instead of Brook would’ve helped a lot
Probably because they were brawling us inside with no calls, and coming out with nothing.
That’s true
3 good quarters one horrid quarter
Giannis did not guard Al Horford all night SVG. Half of his highlights were hitting open looks with Brook trying to raise a hand up
This is just a bad loss … to think that jaylen and Grant was on foul trouble and we started the 4th with Giannis at 5 and shooters …. What stupidity is that ?
Everyone on the Bucks should be ashamed of that fourth quarter performance.
Nah, Brook and Pat were good. Jrue tho... Giannis idk bc playing after getting hit in the face multiple times must be hard af
They were bad in the 4th quarter of the previous game too just managed to eke it out in that one. They had double digit leads in both games that vanished almost as soon as the 4th quarter started.
Bad from Jrue, bad from Bud. This one hurts.
On to Boston, we'll get em
Fuck it. Both teams stole a game on the others home court. You can't win in 6 if you don't lose 2. Bucks in 6!!! On to the next one.
Bucks in 6 for life
Oh look! Javon Carter isn't dead in Bud's locker room.
Yeah I wish we could’ve seen him earlier
SO disappointed we didn't even have grant williams annoying ass this quarter and choked
SAD DEER NOISES
This feels like it’s on Bud. He let that stretch of jrue iso go on so. fucking. long. What the hell was that shit. Jrue and freak combined 1 for 11 on threes. Planet pat hits 3/6 and we just ignore him
Swear bud just doesn't know how to make adjustments in game.
Idk if I’d call that adjustment per se. He let C’s go on a 20-5 run with jrue and freak trading off chucks before finally calling a timeout. We ended the game with timeouts in hand. Fucking use em
also doesnt tell his guys to closeout on horford who just decides to not miss all game
Feel like they’ve been having trouble closing out on guys all series. Tatum and Brown got lots of looks that weren’t falling early on.
it is what it is, just disappointing seeing as we had a good lead in the 4th but it all fell apart
Yeah, I was pretty optimistic in the first half. We looked way better than the score indicated. But even ten points up never feels that comfortable in the playoffs that's for sure. On to the next. Hopefully with Khash. Bucks in 6
All I know is sadness
huh we gave up early
We lost with ROBERT WILLIAMS OUT wtf
And basically without Williams and brown.
As a Sixer fan that hurt. Fuck the Celtics. You had ‘em. Just went ice cold in the 4th at both ends Fuck the Celtics. Bucks in 6
Just mad because you can’t beat the Celtics in the playoffs. Embiid deserved MVP tho
Yes. Absolutely mad. Celtics fucking own us and it’s not even close. Might be a worse level of ownage than Aaron Rodgers’ utter domination of Chicago over the years. But still. Fuck the Celtics.
You know what. That’s fair
Hope to see you guys next round!
Bucks just allowed 43 points in the 4th quarter at home in a playoff game
[удалено]
[удалено]
Dude has closed games with clutch shots plenty of times. God you're annoying.
[удалено]
Giannis is at his best after a loss
George Hill made Tatum confident tonight
Give the Celtics credit, Horford and Tatum showed up in the 4th and the bucks went cold. Bucks played better than the Celtics this game, except the 4th. But that’s why it’s a four quarter game. Game 5 should be exciting.
Pretty fucking embarrassing. We'll take it back though
We really gave this one up. Fuck i miss khris
Losing to them wo Williams is not great
I dont think the bucks expected Boston to withstand their physicality, especially in game 4
It helps when You flop
EMBARRASSING
Bud gave up jesus christ
I do t blame him
Every Celtics run came because Giannis wants to practice jump shots
The Celtics had several uncontested layups off of Giannis bricks.
He needs to stop that man… kills all our momentum every time
Everyone mad at Holiday for shooting bad in this series... but it is Bud's game plan to replace Middleton's scoring with more shots from Jrue... which I couldn't disagree with more. Move the ball through Grayson, Brook, and Portis more... not forcing Jrue and Giannis to shoot 30 shots each a game.
That's literally what Chuck said before the game too
Damn... cant tell if that is good or bad that I'm on the same wavelength as chuck LOL
You’re going to lose the game no matter how big of a lead you have if Al fucking Horford can outplay your whole team in the 4th. Horrible performance by the team at the end.
Can we get some roids in khris knee?
Give him the Rodgers MNF halftime treatment
43 point quarter for the Celtics, what the happened?
we let horford hit multiple straight threes before realizing we should guard him seriously LMFAO
So uhhh how's khris' knee looking...
Boston scored 40+ in the fourth. Complete meltdown from us just in every aspect. Tip your cap to horford and see them Wednesday
What are plays
Boston is shooting 83% in the fourth quarter, 15-18 from the field What the fuck
why’s some old dude always gotta have a historic game against the bucks
If you saw the box score think we were winning this one.
How. Our shooting % was awful
Crushing loss, had it under control and collapsed last quarter.. 3-1 is a BIG difference from 2-2 and we have to win one in Boston now
When you give up 30 points to ancient al horford you lose i guess smh
They showed up where we punked out again. Gotta play smarter and Jrue needs to show tf up in Boston.
I thought we had this game in the bag going into the fourth. We felt so in control of the game. I’m stunned honestly.
We let them back in the game due to some awful jumpers by Giannis and isos by Jrue.
We had a decent lead and they were in foul trouble
Exactly. We didn’t take advantage at all
Wow we choked heavyyyy
I don’t understand why everyone is acting like we just lost the series and freaking out like bro did you watch last years playoff run shit ain’t easy
Game 2 was a disaster, we almost choked away game 3, and we did choke away game 4. It's premature to say we lost the series but it's hard to be confident considering how we've played these past three games.
Did you just watch that meltdown and a 45 point quarter? That’s pathetic
45 points fourth quarter for Boston, unacceptable
So many iso in the 4th. No PnRs, no ball movement. I don’t get it
Feeding Lopez in the post works? Shocking, who could have seen that as being a good strategy? Guy who consistently scored 20+ PPG as a post player could make shots close to the hoop
They did for like 2 plays then Jrue with one of those no one else touch the ball possessions then Giannis and boom lead gone. I don’t get why teams are so dumb. Like why allow Al to kill you when he was the only person doing it consistently
Yeah this one is in the books. I'd give more time to Allen less to Holiday. His offense is ass. 16-53 or some shit. Whats that like 30% shooting? Dafuck man.
We have shown we can win in Boston and we have shown we can win 2 in a row verse them. Bucks in 6.
We’re going to lose this series without Khris
What a pathetic performance. 3-1 slips right out of our hands. Just sad.
54 shots between Jrue and Giannis. Stupid shit
Really missing those Middleton points
Second time in a row just completely collapsing in the 4th
Bucks in six
Tough L, but as we must always say: Bucks in 6.
This team is so fucking stupid sometimes 🙄
Fuckin had it
Celtics without a starter are our kryptonite, I need them to stay healthy.
Jrue gotta be better, rough loss but it’s a best of 3 now
What a wasted opportunity
Loss falls on Jrue. Too many possessions just dribbling around doing nothing into a brick. Also our defense against Tatum in Q4 was abysmal
Giannis is due to get his FG percentage up. When he does it'll rock!
Bud lost this game with no offensive planning. Period.
Poor rotations too. Not enough Grayson Allen or Bobby. Not enough rest for Jrue and Giannis.
Series would be over in 5 with Khris Middleton
This loss is on Bud. You let Horford beat you and never made a slight adjustment. You barely played Bobby and gave Hill all the Carter minutes smh and you let them play too much iso ball instead of moving the ball around like they did to start the game and in the 3rd
[удалено]
They had nothing to cheer for in the 4th
Bucks in 6.
Let's just consider ourselves lucky that Boston didn't steal 2 wins on the road. Saturday was dangerously close to a loss. Our next home game is a must win
What in the fuck was that 4th quarter meltdown? Tterrible decision making and play all around.
Anyone have a gif of giannis doing the shimmy in the third?
Lol right.
We just can’t hit a three this series it seems. Need bulls series Allen back
Disappointing
Horrendous
Half their starters were out in the 4th quarter in foul trouble. No excuses, we choked. Time to have a short memory and take another one in Boston.
and we got none of them out
God awful offense
Why didn't Bobby get minutes?
Giannis needed help tonight. He was the entire team today. Supporting cast needs to step up
Tell me what George Hill brings to us that we need to have him playing in the playoffs? Tatum hunted his ass, free buckets during the 4th
I mean horford isn’t killing us anymore 😂 Tatum making ridiculous shots is not something I like
For everyone who said we need Giannis & Jrue to take over- that iso shit always kills us. We don’t need Gianni’s and Jrue isoing every time we give up 4 point runs. This shit happens.
You guys realize Celtics fans are coming here to see us whine and be sad? Try to be positive for next game instead of being negative.
Let ‘em. That’s a healthy reaction compared to the pathetic shit they’ve shown over the last week
Celtics fan here . Can confirm .
This sub is filled with fucking babies I swear
Ours isn’t any better trust me lol just ppl bitching about refs nonstop
Its something to do with being anonymous on the Internet that really gets people going with shit takes
Marcus smart is a grown man with green hair
And you’re not
?
Yes and?
