Tatum is a great player in regular season only
Where all my Bucs fans at!!! They still be around talkin “wait till we get Middleton back” even with him they would have still walked away with a L tonite. 😂😂😂😂
Brown>>Tatum
MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU FILTHY BUCKS.
Celtics defense was on point today!
Al Harford still plays nice .
I don't think the outcome would have been any different even if Middleton played, Boston is just DIFFERENT 💪💪💪!!
If im the celtics, the only team in the east i would be scared of atp is the nets
Everybody that's in a conversation for MVP Jayson Tatum beat them and scored over 30 to 50% or higher range
When the celtics are running the way they usually do, there is no better team in the league.
Bucks made a fundamental mistake – you can't allow Tatum and Jaylen to score 70 points among themselves in any ballgame and expect to come out with a win. Neutralizing Tatum would have been enough. Celtics is still weak inside, but a disguised zone masks that, and they are contesting entry passes inside and they are ready to run to punish caught passes. However, any pass that Brooks gets down low is gold (7 of 8). Bucks got impatient and didn't patiently exploit it more.
Tatum & Brown give me Michael & Scottie vibes! Great Duo!
It was nice of Tatum to give Giannis a poster on Christmas
Big baby Giannis can’t carry this team all by himself 🤦🏽♂️
But Giannis is somehow better than kd
Finally put the rest who the best in the east right now let’s go C’s 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Celtics are the team to beat this year #Championship
Congrats Celtics fans, be happy with your second round exit.
I was there
Soon finals,B,C
If Celtics stay healthy, they should get that ring. Their defense is impressive. Oh, and rare these days.
Happy to See Joe Ingles playing
midrange tatum is the better version that fits him…
Tatum better than Giannis! IDGAF
C’s🍀🍀🍀🍀
Cavs, Boston, Bucks, Nets, Sixers man
Hehe! After watching Ja Morant's interview in which he was asked who he expects to run through, It looks like he was right: Celtics are the boogie man in the east. 🤣🤣🤣
Great way to cap off my christmas 🍀
We beat y’all last Christmas 🎄 what a game that was yeah ok we lost this badly let’s get someone like Nicholas batum or Jae crowder tho fr
Bucks looking like ish lately collectively but this is good for them
Everything really thought Celtics were gonna fold against Bucks 🤣🤣🤣 Laughable y’all clowns for believing that, Plus I told y’all Tatum was gonna drop 40 and he did he also dunked on Giannis as a bonus!!
Jrue holiday such a gritter 😂
Merry Christmas everyone
Why is a female speaking??
Not an nba highlight video without seeing the same play twice that makes you question your sanity
I guess the Celtics own the Bucks🤷♂️
what the hell is fish grease and why is it hot?
Hooray, the Celtics are good again.
Yeaahh👌👌👌👌
Here comes the excuses on why the bucks lost to the nets and celtic "we didnt have Kris" stop it, you have the "best player"in the NBA right now. Kris wouldnt make that much of a difference
Celtics looked great, offense looks like back to what they've been doing in beginning of the season. Rob Williams coming from the bench is good adjustments from coach, opens up the court for JT and JB. Big win obtained #1 in standing, and Celtics is still trying to get things worked out to get ready for the playoffs.
I don't want any Middleton excuses. Nobody's fault he's hurt AGGGAAAIIINNN. I mean if he was playing then Milwaukee would have only lost by 5 or 6. Now I guaranteed that Milwaukee was going to lose this game whether Middleton was playing or not. Now I will guarantee you that Milwaukee will lose on February 14th whether Middleton plays or not. That game will be at 7:30 PM on TNT. And just so you all know I'm not a celtics fan I'm in Atlantic East fan. As a matter of fact I will be rooting for the nets on January 12th against the celtics. But I will be OK if the celtics win. That game will also be at 7:30 PM on TN T
