Maybe I will come to regret saying it but this Bucks team just doesn’t scare me very much.

They don’t have a lot of two way players at this point. Giannis and Lopez? Middleton has dropped a level. Lillard couldn’t defend a traffic cone

It’s ridiculous that Brad was able to get a defensive minded big who can be the first big off the bench if needed for some second round trade fodder, in Tillman.

So the Cs are up 18 to start the fourth with JT and the reserves. Let’s see if they can bust this game open

Warms my heart seeing Pritchard drain a 3 in podcaster Pat Bev’s face

Bucks with 4 straight 3s started the 3rd with their hair on fire and narrowed the Celtics lead to 5 points. Then the Celtics proceeded to go on a 28-15 run. This Celtics team has few weaknesses and just wears other teams down.

Tatum got a tech there. Pretty sure he was fouled by Middleton. Looked like he got him across the arm.

Minus 7 in the first three minutes of the fourth with Dame resting. Kornet and Tillman together isn’t enough offense, so the Bucks can compact their defense.

Whistle swallowing making it a game. Pritchard was tackled on the previous possession too but he didn’t have the ball so no dice I guess.

And that -7 brings the Bucks to - - - - down by 12.

Tillman is a really tough fit on offense.
He won't be seeing much run during the playoffs except for matchup stuff imo. He just isn't used to what the Cs run in addition to his shooting woes. But he will be great for certain situations.

He has the TOs. Might as well use them to draw up an ATO. Might also want to get Lillard back into the game immediately.

Joe keeps going with a double big of Tillman with Al or Luke when Lopez is off the floor, like he did when Jokic went off. Not sure why.

I think their internal stuff shows that the rim protection against smaller players is effective. Just my WAG

TWolves do this too even without both main bigs

Tillman and Luke is nuts. That’s two non-shooters and forces Tillman to the corner (which takes away from his strengths and highlights his weakness).

id like to see Tillman out there as the lone big with 4 shooters more
