I just don’t get not calling a timeout to set up the final shot. Everything just seemed rushed. Now Milwaukee calls a timeout to make sure everyone knows exactly what to do.
Not to mention they were so exhausted they could barely stand up.Great effort but I'm pretty mad at Joe. Stop making the same mistake over and over.

It's a lineup of backups. You can't play it out with no timeout there. Call the timeout and draw up a play for them.

#Celtics are likely gonna finish this game with two timeouts left. Should have used one there. #Bucks
"on joe" was a heat of the moment mistake. But still....Its not Mazzulla's fault that 4/5s of the Cs entire starting lineup is out during a road game at Milwaukee. A win here would be a gift. They didn't get it and nobody should be mad imo.
No.I agree but he should get crap for not using a timeout after the holiday 3. Do you not agree?
It's OK to criticize him when he does things like not call a TO for the final play when he has role players who can't create their own shot and are exhausted.Its not Mazzulla's fault that 4/5s of the Cs entire starting lineup is out during a road game at Milwaukee.

No doubt. Give your guys a chance after playing their guts out.Not to mention they were so exhausted they could barely stand up.
I agree, but not many C squads have 2 guards out there capable of being in closing lineups of a playoff teamIt’s a remarkably bad look to have your C squad out there and not even bother to try to draw something up.
Can’t let games slip away in the spring like this. The timeout thing will be a problem until either Joe or the team prove that it’s not.
They are doing nothing but learning shit end of game habits.
These kinds of posts are embarrassing. I know it's a game thread. You took the 2 seed to overtime missing 4 starters. Lol. Have some perspective.It’s a remarkably bad look to have your C squad out there and not even bother to try to draw something up.

That would have pushed the lead to eight, right?Dang White missed a dagger chance
im not angry or upset because this was a game they should have lost. But the way that it happened was disappointing.Not calling a TO there was inexcusable. So was Grant’s ball handling. Tough one to lose after the effort they put forth tonight
Yes. They needed to make one more shot and it didn't quite come in the final minute (airball 3, turnover)That would have pushed the lead to eight, right?
I can see why a coach would want to just play it out, but that unit he had out there is not used to playing heavy heavy minutes. A nice little break there would’ve been helpful.I can admit that. Can you admit not calling a timeout there was not just bad but ridiculous.
I'm not trying to excuse Grant. He had total brainlock. But given that Hauser had hit the big 3 at the end of the regulation, giving him the ball there might not have been a bad idea.That’s kind of a cop out for Grant. It wasn’t like he was jumped when he had the ball. He caught it, witg space, attempted a pump fake then tried to cross Giannis over
Ah yes... a championship winning lineup is the same thing as 5 tired backupsBudenholzer didn't think he needed one before Jrues shot.
Really.. is anyone arguing that?Its not Mazzulla's fault that 4/5s of the Cs entire starting lineup is out during a road game at Milwaukee. A win here would be a gift. They didn't get it and nobody should be mad imo.
But they had a different coach for the first 52:45.These kinds of posts are embarrassing. I know it's a game thread. You took the 2 seed to overtime missing 4 starters. Lol. Have some perspective.
It’s a general commentary. They’ve had the same shit happen with the starters playing.These kinds of posts are embarrassing. I know it's a game thread. You took the 2 seed to overtime missing 4 starters. Lol. Have some perspective.
I don’t think so. Will be more in the heads of their fans than the actual players. Many of these guys are champions and will be ready to go in the playoffs.Bucks almost got toasted by a team absent the best scoring duo and best defensive player in the league. That’ll be in the back of their heads the rest of the season.
And when they did have them on Christmas they got run out of the Garden. Not saying they won’t be a tough out but anyone pretending it’s a coin flip is full of shit.Bucks almost got toasted by a team absent the best scoring duo and best defensive player in the league. That’ll be in the back of their heads the rest of the season.
No. Nobody is arguing that. Mazzulla lost the game. Does that make anyone feel better?Really.. is anyone arguing that?
Frauds? Milwaukee just won their 11th straight and are 0.5 games back from us. How are they frauds?This team is the deepest in the league. If I were a Bucks fan, I’d be downright embarrassed by this. They’re frauds.
What is this junk? The fact that you feel the need to defend Joe every single time anyone brings up his TO usage is just strange IMO. And unless you bring some credentials to the table I'm not sure why you feel ok constantly telling other people what they're thinking is 'embarrassing' or that they don't know hoops etc. Unless you played pro or something I'm not sure why you feel the need to talk down to people.No. Nobody is arguing that. Mazzulla lost the game. Does that make anyone feel better?
No?
Its because you all know too much. One person doesn't win or lose games. Its virtually impossible.
And imo, more than a few people complaining about timeouts are embarrassing themselves because they are showing they don't understand hoops. Not @ you but let's be honest. Most people are complaining to complain about one of the best teams in the league.
