Christmas Day: Bucks@Celtics

[OurF'ingCity]

Those are gonna sting if they lose by 3 or fewer.

 

[ifmanis5]

You don't see 0/3 often but there it was.

 

[LesterFan]

Giannis sat the last 3 minutes of the quarter and Celtics let the lead go from 7 to 1.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Giannis sat the last 3 minutes of the quarter and Celtics let the lead go from 7 to 1.

Ergo, Giannis is totally overrated.

 

[Nator]

They got a little stagnant offensively at the end of that half. Let's hope they an increase the ball movement to start the 3rd.

 

[lars10]

Ergo, Giannis is totally overrated.

The Bucks do play better team ball with him off the floor IMO.

 

[SteveF]

They certainly take fewer airball pullup 3s with 14 seconds left on the shot clock when Giannis is out of the game.

Best player on the planet arguably, so you obviously live with it.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

How is that a shooting foul?

 

[bigq]

Al for three!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

alfred JAY horford

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The gaslighting continues on ABC.

 

[Spelunker]

I hate Lopez, but he's just.so damn effective.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Tatum: still good.

 

[ifmanis5]

Giannis 5/15, 0/3 and -16. Good job on him.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Jayson Tatum is the best practitioner of the game of basketball in the known universe.

 

[The Social Chair]

I hope one of Joe's assistants is explaining to him why the Bucks took a TO

 

[The Mort Report]

Giannis 5/15, 0/3 and -16. Good job on him.

And I think almost all those 5 makes are on mid step back 2's

 

[benhogan]

anytime the Cs get rolling Coach Bud gums it up with a TO

feels like we should be up by 20

 

[The Mort Report]

I hope one of Joe's assistants is explaining to him why the Bucks took a TO

I bet when the games really count he will have a quicker TO. I believe letting them play may hurt a bit now but will help when it matters

 

[Euclis20]

And I think almost all those 5 makes are on mid step back 2's

He had one driving dunk, but other than that it's all been on jumpers. 1-6 on FGs in the paint.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Damn JT

 

[benhogan]

And I think almost all those 5 makes are on mid step back 2's

yep challenged mid-rangers, totally live with those

any dunks?

 

[slamminsammya]

81% and misses 4 in a row

 

[JFK35]

If this team doesn’t win the title it’ll be a remarkable let down. When they play like they give a sh*t… they’re so good they toy with opponents. Milwaukee hasn’t led all game. Hell have they even tied the game?

I literally fear no one in the East

 

[bigq]

Tatum for three!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

En Fuego

 

[JFK35]

LOL. Milwaukee has played damn well and can barely hold on to make it a game

 

[bigq]

WHIT3!!

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Let’s go nuclear Tatum.

 

[serotonin]

Fuck I love Derrick White.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Tatum is in kill mode rn with Jaylen going cold

 

[benhogan]

when Tatum is hitting 3s at 40% in the 2nd half of the season he'll be putting up 50 pieces

 

[The Mort Report]

Damn I can't believe it took them this long to talk about Giannis' brother. Surprised not followed with a shot of him on the bench

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Iffy call but I’ll take it

 

[benhogan]

Doris is going Joe Nameth on Giannis

 

[bigq]

Smart dime.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Doris is going Joe Nameth on Giannis

It’s embarrassing. She used to be outstanding and has become a lazy star-suck up

 

[benhogan]

Dereck White making Derek White plays

 

[chilidawg]

Playing with great energy and pace. That fast break Smart to Tatum was great basketball from Smart.

 

[The Mort Report]

It’s embarrassing. She used to be outstanding and has become a lazy star-suck up

To be fair, she's lauding Tatum even more

edit: Letterkenny is back tomorrow!

 

[ifmanis5]

Basketball Ted Cruz's dunk broke the site.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

To be fair, she's lauding Tatum even more

I don’t hear that at all, actually. Listening to her you’d think the game and stat lines were reversed. But the larger point—she is now a star-focused narrator rather than what she used to be—Is true either way

 

[benhogan]

yikes

 

[TripleOT]

I hope everyone is having a great Christmas day. Despite the lame announcing, this has been an awesome game so far

 

[mikeot]

Lob Williams is back, baby!

 

[The Mort Report]

I don’t hear that at all, actually. Listening to her you’d think the game and stat lines were reversed. But the larger point—she is now a star-focused narrator rather than what she used to be—Is true either way

Agreed on the larger point. I think it's honestly what they want from their headliners. The group of us here are not their target audience, that's for sure

 

[TripleOT]

After the first three quarters Giannis was a -22. Tatum was a +13

if the Celtics want to get past the Bucks the next half decade, they would be wise to resign Grant Williams, who does a great job against the Bucks and Giannis

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Granite getting so paid

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Bucks have had really balanced scoring. But they haven’t had Tatum.

 

[benhogan]

move the ball Jaylen
