  1. Jrue and Porzingis looked real dominant tonight.😂😂😂 The Celtics are already starting to see what the Bucks saw about Jrue with his decision-making and at times not always great shooting. They will find out more about that in the playoffs. As for Porzingis, the modern day Sam Bowie, the Celtics will find out if this man can make it 40 games before he gets hurt. 😂

  2. The bucks did great in the second half because they started pressure the ball while playing drop

  3. The Bucks did ok. They just need to figure out a few things. Moreover, Celtics shot almost 60% 3-pointer in the first 3 quarters. They ended with 40.5%. 40.5% does not happen every night. Their season average is always 35-36%. Giannis missed about 8 simple layups, which happens only once in a blue moon. In conclusion, the gap between them is not huge, the way the media is portraying it.

    Dame needs to first change his mid-table team mentality. A Championship team starts playing from the first second the game starts. Dame has been using 1st and 2nd Quarter as warm-ups and this is forcing Giannis to take over in some games. That's why some people are saying Giannis is hogging the ball. Why won't he? He has a Champion mindset, he starts blocking shots from the first second. He starts being aggressive from the beginning. Like tonight, Dame missed about 8 3-point shooting in the first half and he still refused to attack the rim. He didn't start attacking the rim until late 3rd Quarter and 4th Quarter. I believe Milwaukee didn't sign him to only play 4th Quarter.

  4. Two things stand out.

    1. Firing Mike Budenholzer was a bad decision. (Thats because Jimmy Haslam is a freaking clown) I know he had his flaws but with Griffin, it's like the Bucks have reverted back to the Jason Kidd years with how they've played against legit teams not named Philly.

    2. Boston literally has the answers to the test before it's even taken. Why? Look at their coaching staff. Chad Forcier, Charles Lee, and Ben Sullivan were all Bucks assistants during their championship year. They're now with the Celtics. And it's a big reason why they have success in defending Giannis. (Jrue Holiday as well) That and they have the Unicorn who is 7'3.

  5. Honestly looked like the Celtics got bored playing the bucks in the 4th quarter . You could sort of see it in their body language. They were pretty much whooping the bucks from the tip-off

  6. "this game is going to very different in january"….LMAO they been saying this for the last 5 years…."middleton is going to come back" they been saying that for years too….BLOWOUT….BLOWOUT…BLOWOUT. celtics own the bucks like brady owns those overrated flashy boys rodgers and mahomes.

  7. They can’t get over the hump (Celtics) in the playoffs. We’re not seeing anything new

  8. lol they quick to speak up on Gianni’s and the bucks but jokic bad games goes unnoticed💀

  9. I honestly wasn't all that impressed by the Celtics. Bucks missed a ton of good looks and open shots and C's role players were lights out.

  10. You guy are absolutely unbearable when talking about Milwaukee. I go into these segments knowing the hate will be there, and still yall find a way to suprise me with how biased you are. Really sad considering we have 2 generational super stars balling out and you choose to just ignore it because they play for Milwaukee WI

  11. I know these people have the right to sit and make their opinions known but not mentioning the momentum loss towards the end of the game is a biased take. No matter what happens the Celtics are not going to be champions, definitely contenders maybe even conference champions but Tatum or Brown or nobody will get them there, unless it's somebody else. All that matters to me is ring or no ring Damian lillard's legacy as the best Point Guard of this era will be stamped in gold with the bucks and they will be dominant for next 5 years at the least. Celtics and the Lakers have too much pressure to let their players and organisations enjoy the game and not always try live up to their expectations. Kareem, magic, bird, worthy, mcchale, kobe, Shaq, garnett, are one of a piece for a reason and putting all that pressure on Tatum will break him rather than make him great. Won't even mention the ludicrous amount of money these people make whether they win or lose regular, playoffs or in finals.

  12. Currently, Dame doesn’t fit well with the Bucks. Dame is a ball dominant two guard playing point guard who doesn’t bring solid defense to the table. The Bucks should have kept D. Holiday. That was a battle tested championship team…they had some injuries that caused them to not go further last year. Why break up a good thing?

  13. The Bucks are maybe the third best team in East but the Heat may have something to say about that. Bucks fans are sadly delusional. Ya’ll be lucky to get out of round 1.

  14. They talk as if the Bucks were blown out by the C's, chill out people it was a 3 point loss

  15. Key losses for the bucks on defense were jrue & Jevon Carter …full court pressure ..they have non of that right now

  16. Kendrick Perkins just talking. Man talking about giannis in his social media like that’s stopping him from playing basketball it takes 2 seconds to post and he’s been doing that when he was winning now they are having struggles it’s an issue. The media just be trying to find narratives

  17. The Celtics are not that good they live by the 3 they die by the 3 if they hit 3s people said wow they are great and when their not people say they shoot to many 3s. Last year against Miami it show

  18. The bucks will bounce back. They always do. If they lost by 3 points when they are still figuring out themselves. They will be better in January when they have the home court against The Almighty Celtics

  19. He's so right about Giannis. Turning selfish is the wrong kind of hero mode. And perimeter defense for the Bucks seems like an unsolvable problem. Crowder was missed.

  20. He's so right about Giannis. Turning selfish is the wrong kind of hero mode. Starts with Giannis going off ball and letting Dame run the offense full time. Dame needs to control the ball and Giannis' game would be greatly benefitted by it. You can't go around the wall when you have the ball and they collapse on you. Off ball, Giannis can roam and find better spots where he can shoot gaps and be a distraction and have easier chances to yam on it people. Dame then gets into his natural flow quicker and the true magic of having the dual threat of him and Giannis becomes fully realized.
