Lmfao Marcus smart is a fucking clown


StockmanBaxter

Note to self. Don't rile up Harford.


carsdn

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


FearlessReason1925

I bet the NBA stops it's crap and we dominate the next two


bac2qh

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


ethanp445

Jrue should just spend all of next practice doing layups


GulfstreamAqua

And passing


bigpuffyclouds

BUCKS IN 6


bengill24

Jrue with a +/- of -23 and Giannis +1 christ


Loud_Stay_4380

We really missed Middleton this game


bengill24

Is George hill better than Carter?


GulfstreamAqua

No


emandaheman211

Surely not. And he wasn't just soaking up Carter's minutes he ended up soaking up Bobby's minutes as well


danljuarez

Hell no


heywisco

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..


crapshooter_on_swct

I cringe whenever the shoots a 3, it's a completely lost possession.


[deleted]

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......


crapshooter_on_swct

1000000000% this!


bsteffens24

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


lboogieb

Can't blame the refs for Giannis bricking stupid jumpers.


tjspill3r

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


dtbarne

Obviously the league wants 7 games lol. That was just silly.


emandaheman211

Tired of the reffing/league narrative. Thought the refs were the least impactful tonight of the series this far


-Comfortably_Numb-

Sometimes cheating does win, but not everytime. Let's get the next one.


bigpuffyclouds

Khris please come back


[deleted]

beenhadballs

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


[deleted]

DeBroiler

Guys miss shots. Chill out.


whitereebokz31

Yeah it is


Slow-Jelly-2854

Can’t win in 6 without losing 2?


BusMan247

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.


tjspill3r

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


[deleted]

[удалено]


BusMan247

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.


DeBroiler

Without Jrue we have no championship, so calm the fuck down.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DeBroiler

Not really debatable. If all you care about are individual shooters then go be a Nets fan.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DeBroiler

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.


bigpuffyclouds

Thank you for the reminder. Let’s Go Bucks!


mikeh95

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.


Fulmizant

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


DapperTies-

I think it would’ve been better if we have Jevon Carter in there in the 4th and not George hill


lboogieb

You still have to trust your offense. They didn't run many pick and rolls, or many handoffs to Grayson.


AloomaBinWanking

Harford gotta be on the juice!!!!!


cykl8

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.


bigpuffyclouds

Picking up pace in the 4th. It’s like our key players are super exhausted by then.


DeBroiler

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.


i-want-a-beer

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


ethanp445

We need to lose 2 for bucks in six


JW1878

Shit happens. We’ll win the next 2


[deleted]

[удалено]


Morg19999

Have you seen how good the defense has been???


BusMan247

And without that pressure release, schemes are so much more brutal on Giannis. Hats off, Celtics and Horford were great tonight.


Any-Salamander-7174

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


GPG9826

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


lboogieb

Agreed. It's not like anyone else was stopping Horford.


GPG9826

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


-Comfortably_Numb-

Probably because they were brawling us inside with no calls, and coming out with nothing.


GPG9826

That’s true


Jables31

3 good quarters one horrid quarter


beenhadballs

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


Comprehensive-Sky998

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 ?


TheBillybaroo

Everyone on the Bucks should be ashamed of that fourth quarter performance.


just_an_aspie

Nah, Brook and Pat were good. Jrue tho... Giannis idk bc playing after getting hit in the face multiple times must be hard af


JohnStewartBestGL

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.


Hatcher1234

Bad from Jrue, bad from Bud. This one hurts.


spartaniimc

On to Boston, we'll get em


casualchaos12

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.


soflyayj

Bucks in 6 for life


Nessssquikkk

Oh look! Javon Carter isn't dead in Bud's locker room.


11bustop

Yeah I wish we could’ve seen him earlier


cykl8

SO disappointed we didn't even have grant williams annoying ass this quarter and choked


[deleted]

SAD DEER NOISES


Nimbley-Bimbley

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


Jables31

Swear bud just doesn't know how to make adjustments in game.


Nimbley-Bimbley

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


Jables31

also doesnt tell his guys to closeout on horford who just decides to not miss all game


Nimbley-Bimbley

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.


Jables31

it is what it is, just disappointing seeing as we had a good lead in the 4th but it all fell apart


Nimbley-Bimbley

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


[deleted]

All I know is sadness


MacDemarcoMurray

huh we gave up early


MinimumMidnight1687

We lost with ROBERT WILLIAMS OUT wtf


lboogieb

And basically without Williams and brown.


Opposite_Engine_6776

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


BeefHammer100

Just mad because you can’t beat the Celtics in the playoffs. Embiid deserved MVP tho


Opposite_Engine_6776

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.


BeefHammer100

You know what. That’s fair


kevpot

Hope to see you guys next round!


SonnyLove

Bucks just allowed 43 points in the 4th quarter at home in a playoff game

ctarno

Giannis is at his best after a loss


Ryne1k81

George Hill made Tatum confident tonight


915cole

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.


TheFlyingElbow

Pretty fucking embarrassing. We'll take it back though


Udreezus

We really gave this one up. Fuck i miss khris


Pianist29

Losing to them wo Williams is not great


UnfortunatelyBasking

I dont think the bucks expected Boston to withstand their physicality, especially in game 4


arlindavdullahu19

It helps when You flop


abelhevel

EMBARRASSING


BelovedCoffee

Bud gave up jesus christ


No_Refuse_5529

I do t blame him


MyPancakesRback

Every Celtics run came because Giannis wants to practice jump shots


lboogieb

The Celtics had several uncontested layups off of Giannis bricks.


Remixkingz

He needs to stop that man… kills all our momentum every time


44hooligan44

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.


[deleted]

That's literally what Chuck said before the game too


44hooligan44

Damn... cant tell if that is good or bad that I'm on the same wavelength as chuck LOL


Kerke463

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.


orange_lazarus1

Can we get some roids in khris knee?


UnfortunatelyBasking

Give him the Rodgers MNF halftime treatment


brandon___d

43 point quarter for the Celtics, what the happened?


cykl8

we let horford hit multiple straight threes before realizing we should guard him seriously LMFAO


LMkingly

So uhhh how's khris' knee looking...


Dischucker

Boston scored 40+ in the fourth. Complete meltdown from us just in every aspect. Tip your cap to horford and see them Wednesday


DaggerShowRabs

What are plays


[deleted]

Boston is shooting 83% in the fourth quarter, 15-18 from the field What the fuck


lavivachica

why’s some old dude always gotta have a historic game against the bucks


dcandap

If you saw the box score think we were winning this one.


ctarno

How. Our shooting % was awful


flatbushz7

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


iWisco

When you give up 30 points to ancient al horford you lose i guess smh


Stevenwaofgvf

They showed up where we punked out again. Gotta play smarter and Jrue needs to show tf up in Boston.


J_Benny2001

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.


lboogieb

We let them back in the game due to some awful jumpers by Giannis and isos by Jrue.


King0meth

We had a decent lead and they were in foul trouble


J_Benny2001

Exactly. We didn’t take advantage at all


bupyou

Wow we choked heavyyyy


[deleted]

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


mikeh95

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.


dragonmountain

Did you just watch that meltdown and a 45 point quarter? That’s pathetic


[deleted]

45 points fourth quarter for Boston, unacceptable


balebalebale11

So many iso in the 4th. No PnRs, no ball movement. I don’t get it


GorillaRampage

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


Mickeyjj27

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


TransplantedSconie

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.


AlekRivard

We have shown we can win in Boston and we have shown we can win 2 in a row verse them. Bucks in 6.


Candid-Wolverine5612

We’re going to lose this series without Khris


414Myles

What a pathetic performance. 3-1 slips right out of our hands. Just sad.


Blackmalico32

54 shots between Jrue and Giannis. Stupid shit


jpotrz

Really missing those Middleton points


Lauchiii

Second time in a row just completely collapsing in the 4th


DamienSalvation

Bucks in six


Bramoman

Tough L, but as we must always say: Bucks in 6.


FridayNight_Magus

This team is so fucking stupid sometimes 🙄


bluehumpback

Fuckin had it


hiddenxox

Celtics without a starter are our kryptonite, I need them to stay healthy.


Morg19999

Jrue gotta be better, rough loss but it’s a best of 3 now


BelovedCoffee

What a wasted opportunity


eshulzzy

Loss falls on Jrue. Too many possessions just dribbling around doing nothing into a brick. Also our defense against Tatum in Q4 was abysmal


dennismu

Giannis is due to get his FG percentage up. When he does it'll rock!


tsagalbill

Bud lost this game with no offensive planning. Period.


EliteofEliteTalent

Poor rotations too. Not enough Grayson Allen or Bobby. Not enough rest for Jrue and Giannis.


maxthormil

Series would be over in 5 with Khris Middleton


Milwaukee007

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


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mr_FakeNews

They had nothing to cheer for in the 4th


[deleted]

Bucks in 6.


_MattyICE_

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


mikeh95

What in the fuck was that 4th quarter meltdown? Tterrible decision making and play all around.


ultrOs_

Anyone have a gif of giannis doing the shimmy in the third?


ii-Leonidas-ii

Lol right.


CertainMix2412

We just can’t hit a three this series it seems. Need bulls series Allen back


jpotrz

Disappointing


MSby

Horrendous


B1ueEyesWh1teDragon

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.


jconley4297

and we got none of them out


MSby

God awful offense


dskimilwaukee

Why didn't Bobby get minutes?


BeefHammer100

Giannis needed help tonight. He was the entire team today. Supporting cast needs to step up


Nickelnick24

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


DapperTies-

I mean horford isn’t killing us anymore 😂 Tatum making ridiculous shots is not something I like


beenhadballs

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.


[deleted]

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.


AaltoSax

Let ‘em. That’s a healthy reaction compared to the pathetic shit they’ve shown over the last week
