    encouraging loss tbh

    the celtics really aren’t scary unless they shoot 40%+ from 3 every game

    and the heat beat the cavs so hopefully giannis rests again tmrw

  2. BobbbyLight

    Boston has beaten us twice.

    The first time we almost came back while Giannis had maybe his worst game if the year.

    Tonight we dominated the 4th. With no Giannis. And if Beasley doesn’t commit one of the dumbest fouls I’ve ever seen, who knows.

    We murdered them at home.

    This team is beatable.

  3. Athalos124

    Celtics don’t scare me,I believe fully healthy we can take them in a series

  4. bruh2398

    Boutta be demon time in June let’s get it 😈

  5. dirtball_hl

    Maybe we should have pulled our starters at half /s

  6. adamsandlermander

    We were getting goofed and then turned the tables on them. Very solid game sans Giannis.

  8. Skeleboi846

    Good things:

    – Khris looking like Khris

    – Bucks defense locking in during the 4th

    – Bobby, despite some shots that wouldnt be there in transition if Giannis were playing, looks pretty solid against the core rotation of the C’s

  9. PackAttack817

    The literal definition of a “quality loss” Can’t wait to play them when we’re fully healthy

  10. TYBG1001

    I hate saying it but I guess that’s a moral victory

  12. deevotionpotion

    I missed the game. Got score updates up until the end of the 3rd. How’d it get so close? Bucks have a good 4th?

  13. Blackmalico32

    Two losses for a combined 6 points. Playoffs about to be interesting.

  14. ArrestTomNook

    This felt kind of like the Suns game except we were the Suns.

  15. flamingolover6969

    Something that I noticed was Docs adjustment to stop playing Brook. Brook has long been unplayable against the Celtics and the second we switched to that zone and played Portis for Brook the comeback was on.

    Great adjustment from Doc that makes me feel GREAT about the playoffs.

  16. bigbobo33

    Key takeaways:

    Keeping it close without Giannis is encouraging

    Doris is so terrible.

  17. nate6259

    As close as you can get to a moral victory. Never let our foot off the gas and gave em a good scare.

  18. xSmoothNoodle

    That Beasley foul was so bad. Was the Bucks best chance to win. Smh but it was encouraging to see the team play so well without Giannis. GGs

  19. DelanoJ

    I’ll take that over a blowout any day, they pulled it together but still too many little mistakes

  20. Timely_Airline_7168

    Is Khris still on limited minutes? Feels like the playing time can be higher in a close game against a strong team.

  22. Cayd9299

    The Dame everyone has been waiting for seems to have arrived and I don’t see much talk of it

  23. CAPONE-N-NOREAGA

    In my universe Bobby made that FT and Dame hit a game winner. Oh well

  24. 1antinomy

    If I’m Boston, I’d be terrified of this matchup

    We have 3 killers in crunch time & they have a bunch of dudes who don’t want the ball

  25. mikeh95

    First game they beat us by 3, second game we destroyed them (BuT iT wAs A bAcK tO bAcK!!!), and they only beat us by three with no Giannis.

    I feel good about our chances against them in the playoffs. Gotta get past the likes of Miami first though.

  26. CAPONE-N-NOREAGA

    Celtics on fraud watch. Massive choke potential. Bucks in 6.

  27. BaltimoreBadger23

    The offensive rebound and dunk by Prozingis was the killer. But glad to see them fight without the leader on the floor.

    @ Boston

  29. IcecoldIsaac2

    At what point do we start considering this late into the season that beasley might need to be moved out of the closing line-ups. Been bricking way too many open 3s this month and his game awareness was concerning tonight. Completely unnecessary foul that cost us the game.

  30. drj123

    Man we got everything but the win that game, I’m fucking hype. Dame was awesome second half. Khris ankle injury clearly not bothering him putting up his career average 20/5/5. Bobby showing that he actually can do his thing against the Celtics. Zone was killing the Celtics. This team more than any bud team has the ability to fight through adversity and not get rattled.

    And we have fucking Giannis. I’ve never been so excited after a loss

  31. CAPONE-N-NOREAGA

    Atleast we didn’t pussy out and play our bench after being down a bit. Celtics are fake af. Bucks in 6.

  32. JohnJayMaxwell

    First half Bucks fearful. Second half Celtics fearful. See you in playoffs. Fear the Deer

  33. UseAB1tchboy98

    Boston fans still complaining about refs after they shot 15 more free throws on some of the softest shit is hilarious

  34. One-Earth9294

    This is a great example of how good our team is but we need to play more defense in the anytime minutes and not the crunch time minutes exclusively.

    And they wrecked Brook mentally on the floor tonight we need Giannis out there to be his help man so badly.

    But this was a pretty good game.

  35. Plane_Dance5493

    Great to see Middleton in form so quick. More minutes towards Middleton and less for pat bev, pat C, and Beasley in my mind is a huge plus. I think each of those guys has a role vs certain teams

  36. drutastic57

    Doesn’t anyone trust Boston in the clutch? If the 3s aren’t falling they are beatable.

  37. TheAirIsOn

    Game had similar vibes to the first bucks game had in Boston this season:

    -Bucks run into a Celtics team that were hot from 3

    -Bucks getting blown out for 3 quarters of the game

    -bucks make a dramatic comeback in the 4th but ultimately lose due to a miss by dame in the clutch

    -someone hits a f you 3 pointer at the end of the game to make it a 3 point loss

  38. TechnicalSample4678

    I gotta say I’ve seen enough this year to know this Celtics teams balls shrink when it gets tight for them. Healthy I like our chances

  39. GlizzyGone21

    Let’s just have a huge shout out to Middletons defense, and the fact he played over 30 min
