Game Notes
After two Celtics wins in Boston, the series now moves to Milwaukee.  In the regular season, the Celtics split the 2 games in Milwaukee, winning one and losing one.  The Celtics had a 28-13 record on the road this season while the Bucks were 25-16 at home.  The Bucks are 22-19 all time in the first round at home. 

Even though they won the first two games,  the Celtics are going to have to play much better in this game to get a win.  They allowed the Bucks to shoot 59.7% on Tuesday while Giannis Antetokounmpo shot 75% from the field.  The Celtics must play better defense if they want to get a win on the road. 

There are a few side stories developing in this series.  When asked about his matchup with Terry Rozier, Eric Bledsoe claimed that he didn't know who he was.  Terry is taking the high road, saying that he doesn't have a problem with Bledsoe,  but Bledsoe continues to insist that he doesn't know who Rozier is. 

Jabari Parker has made his discontent about his lack of playing time known, saying that the way to get playing time was to be on the coach's good side and that he didn't think he was.  Another side story is that Greg Monroe played for the Bucks for over 2 years and knows their tendencies and plays and can be a big help to the Celtics in planning their defenses for the game. 

Game 3 is a pivotal game in any series.  The historical probability of winning the series when a team is up 3 games to none is 100% (127-0).  On the other hand, the historical probability of winning the series when up 2 games to 1 drops to 81% (124-29). No team has come back from an 0-3 deficit in a best of 7 series while 11 teams have come back from a 1-3 deficit.   The Celtics are 35-0 all time in Game 3 when up 2-0.  The Bucks are 0-13 all time in Game 3 when going in 0-2. 

Marcus Smart got bad news that his mother has cancer and that has to weigh heavy on him and his teammates.  His mom told him to go back to the team and that seeing him play would make her smile.  He's at least a week away from being back on the court.   Along with Smart, Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, and Daniel Theis are all still out.   For the Bucks,  John Henson is listed as doubtful with a sore back.   

Key Matchups
(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Horford_Al_bos1617.jpg)  vs  (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Antetokounmpo_Giannis_mil1617.jpg)
Al Horford  vs Giannis Antetokounmpo
Once again, this will be the key matchup.  Antetokounmpo had 35 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals in Game 1. He followed that up with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists while shooting 75% from the field.   Al has been great for the Celtics as well.   He will need another big game on both ends of the court if they want to get a win in this one. 

(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Tatum_Jayson_bos17.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Middleton_Khris_mil1617.jpg)
Jayson Tatum vs Khris Middleton
 In Game 1, Middleton had 31 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.  He shot 60% from the field and 71% from beyond the arc. In game 2, Middleton finished with 25 points, shooting 71% from the field and 66% from beyond the arc.   It goes without saying that the Celtics need to do a better job defending Middleton in this game.  Tatum struggled on the offensive end in game 2, scoring just 4 points.  Hopefully he will find his touch again in this game. 

(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Rozier_Terry_bos17.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Bledsoe_Eric_phx17.jpg)
Terry Rozier vs Eric Bledsoe
  Rozier clearly outplayed Bledsoe in Games 1 and 2 and has gotten in his head prompting him to say he didn't know who Rozier was when asked about him.  Terry has refused to get into that and said he doesn't have anything against Bledsoe and is just working to help make the Celtics better.  Hopefully Terry can once again hold Bledsoe in check while continuing to play well on the offensive end. 

Honorable Mention
Celtics Bench vs Bucks Bench
With all of the injuries, the Celtics bench has been depleted but that doesn't mean they haven't been effective.  Shane Larkin, Greg Monroe and Marcus Morris have come up big for the Celtics off the bench.  Guerschon Yabusele also pitched in 10 points off the bench in Game 2.   The Celtics reserves scored 27 points to 23 points for the Bucks reserves in Game 1.   In Game 2, the Celtics reserves put up 41 off the bench while the Bucks reserves scored 25 points.  The Celtics reserves will need to continue to contribute if they want to get a win on the road. 

Keys to the Game
Defense - Defense is always a key to winning.  The old adage that Defense wins Championships is very true, especially as teams go into the playoffs.   Even though they have 2 wins so far in the series, the Celtics have let their defense slip.  They have allowed the Bucks to shoot 48.2% from the field  in the first game and 59.7% in the second game.  If the Celtics want to win on the road,  they are going to have to tighten up their defense, especially on Giannis and Middleton.   

Rebound - Next to defense, rebounding will be key for the Celtics.  The Celtics can't score if they don't have the ball.   It takes effort to rebound and when the Celtics put out that extra effort to get rebounds, it usually translates to other areas of their game.  The Celtics barely out-rebounded the Bucks in game 45-43 in Game 1.  Both teams had 38 rebounds in Game 2.  The Celtics must continue to crash the glass as a team and give even more effort on the boards in this game. 

Be Aggressive
- The Celtics have to be the more aggressive team from start to finish.  They have to be aggressive in going after loose balls and on defense and going to the basket and grabbing rebounds.  The more aggressive team usually gets the benefit of the calls.  They need to be the team that wants it more for all 48 minutes.  The Bucks' coach has mentioned several times that the Celtics play harder and want it more.  They need to continue that in this game. 

Move the Ball Carefully -  When the Celtics move the ball and find the open man,  they are tough to beat.  However, the Celtics must make careful passes as the Bucks are 2nd in steals with 8.8 per game and 2nd in points off turnovers with 18.3 per game. The Celtics did a good job of this in Game 1, turning the ball over 15 times to 20 turnovers for the Bucks. They did an even better job in Game 2 with 5 turnovers to 15 for the Bucks.  They need to continue to take care of the ball and play unselfishly. 

X-Factors
Coaching - So far, Brad has been able to push all the right buttons and use the right strategies to win Games 1 and 2.  The players have given him the credit for preparing them for the games and giving them the right plays at the right time to pull out the wins.  He has been careful to keep minutes down as much as possible and he has the team playing well together.  The Bucks have some discord going and haven't been able to match the Celtics' intensity so far.  Hopefully that continues. 

On the Road - The Celtics were a good road team this season with a 23-18 record away from home.  The Bucks were also pretty good at home with a 25-16 home record.  The Celtics need to stay focused on playing their game and not let the hostile environment distract them.  The Bucks' young players will likely play better at home and so the Celtics need to be ready for them with tougher defense. 

Officiating - So far, the officiating has been decent.  There have been bad calls and missed calls going both ways.  Of course, Giannis gets away with travels and offensive fouls but they have let Horford get away with a few things also.  Hopefully they will continue to let them play and call the games evenly.

It would be very obvious if they put Al or Jaylen in early foul trouble just as what they did to Oladipo against the Cavs.

This will be big if Henson is out. Not only does that mean more Tyler Zeller, allowing us to play Moose more and take advantage of him down low, but it also probably means more Giannis at Center lineups, which we have absolutely dominated this series thus far.

Henson and Brogdon have been the only two role players they've gotten anything out of.  If Henson's gone they get reaaaaal thin up front, and Horford keeps abusing Giannis when they play him at C.  I don't wish for injuries but this is would be a big plus for us.

Maker played really well when he started in the postseason, last year, iirc, but this new coach doesn't seem interested in playing him, for some odd reason. No idea as to why.

Because Maker isn't very good at basketball.

He's far more Jajuan Johnson than Kevin Garnett.

Because he's not any good. He can't shoot or rebound and I've heard Bucks fans complain about him making a lot of dumb mistakes.

I want to see Moose get a lot of usage. No high post stuff either. Go right after Zeller or Maker and force the Bucks to double.

Henson out tonight. This is big. I'm guessing they're starting Zeller, but not exactly sure yet.

I really like what Monroe is doing out there.  It reminds me of what Brook Lopez was doing to us last playoffs!  And it's not small ball, which everyone in the NBA plays.  Good old fashioned rim banging!

for as bad as we played, we should have been down more than we are.

we have to realize that Thon Maker has long arms, just accept it, and work around it.
We still need to get to the rim.  Collapse their def and look for a cutter off of the penetration.

The bucks aren't doing anything great so far.  The 1st quarter mess is completely on the C's.  We need to get aggressive and stop settling for jump shots.

I mean, does anyone really doubt that this second quarter insane officiating is a reaction to the numerous fouls they called on the Bucks in the early going? That's clear what happened. Thus, they simply changed their standard to even out the foul count, all while allowing Milwaukee to stay as physical as they have been from the beginning.

That's simply terrible officiating.

This is bad basketball.  Forget the refs.  Not taking care of the ball, not driving, not shooting well.  Not defending well, especially on the perimeter. 

If we feel like getting blown out, keep doing exactly what you're doing.

law of averages - might as well let the Bucks get all of their insane 3's out this game.  Let Giannis think he's a 3pt shooter. 

The only thing I am worried about moving forward is the length and quick rotations of the Bucks.  The are playing really aggressive.  But if the Celtics next game attack the rim (and Scott Foster isn't there) then that should help neutralize the Buck's D a bit.

Yeah, that was pretty inexcusable. Not sure what the hell he was doing. Literally hadn't been a timeout in the game, yet he waited two to three scoring possessions too long before calling a timeout.

He has a tendency to be bad at doing that, but good Lord in the first quarter with all of your timeouts still??

We will lose this one by 25..

Rozier will come back to earth with a loud Thud.

Jaylen will be open again to be traded for whoever the fans awnt to come here.

This. Not sure why people think it's necessarily bifurcated. We can both be playing bad AND getting the shaft by the officials (Foster in particular).

And that's the problem - they feed into each other. The refs COMPLETELY changed their standard for what constitutes a foul on Milwaukee's defense after that initial first flurry of fouls called on them, and they're allowing them to continue to play as aggressively with all the contact without calling fouls now, which just feeds into our turnovers and poor shooting.

I wonder, just a bit, if all the love that Terry has been getting might have distracted him a bit.  Maybe same for Brown.  It is hard for young players to stay focused when you have some success.  Hopefully Brad can get the mindset turned around at half time a bit.  We don't want a huge blowout impacting our chances in game 4.  We need to show some fight and push back a lot in the 2nd half.

I am hoping that we can get one of two in Mil and go home up 3-1.  Maybe that is dreaming?  not sure.

I wonder, just a bit, if all the love that Terry has been getting might have distracted him a bit.  Maybe same for Brown.  It is hard for young players to stay focused when you have some success.  Hopefully Brad can get the mindset turned around at half time a bit.  We don't want a huge blowout impacting our chances in game 4.  We need to show some fight and push back a lot in the 2nd half.

I am hoping that we can get one of two in Mil and go home up 3-1.  Maybe that is dreaming?  not sure.

He ain't gonna get dat instagram booty if he keeps playing like ass, lol ;D.

i like to see her in a thong

Careless TOs and poor shooting %. We can't blame the refs on this one.

Refs are not completely to blame, but seems like every time we attack the basket and draw contact, they swallow their whistles. Bucks, it's just the opposite.

Look, I'm going to call this right now - the officiating standard is getting ready to change, just like the first half. The refs have now called 5 quicker fouls on Milwaukee in the first 4 minutes, so I bet they look at the numbers on the scoreboard and start swallowing the whistle for us from here on out. That's exactly what happened at the end of the first quarter.

I don't see how consistency is too much to ask. It's 48 minutes, why can't refs just act the same for all if it?

It's not fair to him, but Tatum is going to have to do better.

*And here he is.

Looking much better and more under control this half.

You still have to wonder what would've happened if Brad called that TO earlier in the first quarter during their first run. Something like that could've been enough to keep them from gaining all of this momentum and building up this lead, along with calming us down.

Relax, the refs huddled and got the call correct eventually.

Reason C's are down (by so much) is that Bledsoe has stepped up and is making shots and good passes.

It's frustrating. I think everyone would prefer less ref involvement than more, but simple consistency would suffice. Yet most of the time today's refs can't even manage to stay consistent on both sides of the ball for an entire quarter.

Clearly a foul on Baynes. I feel like those fouls should be non-shooting, though, as they clearly don't affect the shooting motion at all. Hell, the ball probably was already at the rim when the foul occurred.

C's down by 14 but CBS has had to leave the starters in the whole time (other than 1 brief time when Baynes went out) in the 3rd.  Starters have to feeling tired and the Bucks feeling good  using their 2nd unit guys letting the C's trimming the lead a bit.

100 percent agree but he's not getting the ball. The problem is Terry pounding  down on the shot clock and he never passes to Brown. He's the point guard and id be surprised if the ball has been passed to Brown from him more than once the entire game, it's weird.

We needed that Kyrie and Marcus Smart killer mentality to have a shot at winning this game coming back down from 20.

We wouldn't even be down 20 if we had Kyrie, Hayward, Smart, and Theis. We'd be talking about being up by 20 in Milwaukee.

Here's the thing I don't get - the Bucks have played this physical all game long, but the refs magically stopped calling them in the 2nd quarter and let them run up this big lead. And all that was meant for was to even out the foul count, even though it was justifiably  lopsided with how aggressive Milwaukee has been compared to us.

I hate it when bums like Bledsoe and Maker talk trash.

They are just adding fuel to the fire. I hope our kids take it to the heart and smash these chumps next game.

Stevens was much tighter with the rotations in G1. I would much prefer he go back to that. G2 was a rare case of Milwaukee turnovers and a rare superlative offensive night from the Celtics. Larkin, Semi, Monroe - all need to be on a tight leash.

Welp, classic game 3 by the road team of the series, especially a young, energetic, and athletic team. Just didn't have the energy to match it.

Come back on Sunday and put this up 3-1. Luckily, it's a noon matinee game, which generally seem to be a bit less energetic for the home team.

Its this July I think. Have to control myself from reading what happens next in the manga  ;D

I usually just read manga when I know its not gonna be animated anymore or they stopped animating them. Or just until the part where they show it in the anime.

Highschool DxD is fun, fanservice aside. Naruto and the spinoffs are popular, but I didnt really get into that. Gintama is another highly rated series that I didnt really enjoy.

Major is a pretty good anime, I'd say its on my top five. Its about baseball, and you somehow get the feeling of this Celtics team from watching that.

I knew this was coming MIL is too good to get swept.   I have always thought it was going to be 5 or 6 game series.

We shot poorly (40%), we defended poorly ( they shot 57%), did not take care of the ball (16 TO's), in short we played a bad game. 

The Bucks were hot shot 57% from the field and 48.5% from the three.  That is hot, not only that but they bodied us up physically and set the tone early in the game.

It will be fun to see if our young guys bounce back from this one.   We need Scary Terry, we need Bad News Brown, we need Terrifying Tatum and Menancing Morris to show up and not lay eggs like they did last night.   Young teams sometimes let their foot off a dying teams throat.  Bouncing back from it would show good growth.

Looking at the box score it's no surprise that we lost the game. This team is dependant on guys like Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier putting up high scoring numbers in order to win games, as we don't have a consistent high scoring profile on this team due to Kyrie's injury. Last year you could also tell how quickly we would fall apart (offensively that is) when Isaiah Thomas was out due to injury.

The body language looked bad from the first 5 possessions .  The Celtics were playing with 1/4 the emotion of Bucks .  There was no Marcus Smart to insert into the game to bring the eye of the tiger back to the team to fight .  But, i watched the Raptors do the exact same thing .  I figured both teams would loose .

Home court matters in the NBA. Cs looked shook from the get go. Maybe part inexperience, part overconfidence. Either way, it was a clunker from start to finish. There was a point there where I thought they may be able to turn it once they got it down to 14 but they couldn't get consistent stops. Overall disappointing effort but it's been a while since they had a clunker like this. I would think their compete level on Sunday will likely be much higher.

Home court matters in the NBA.

It sure does.  It seems to matter less for the best players, they play well wherever.  It is the second tier players that will make a few more shots, play a little better overall, at home.  Case in point, Greek Freak and Middleton played well at both venues but most of the other players on both teams flipped and played either better or worse.

The problem for the Celtics is that our whole team is second tier right now.  I am not sure this Celtics team can win a road game against Milwaukee.  We'll see.  This team has surprised me all year.

Also young players.

Pretty cool how our guys are getting starter minutes against a very motivated Bucks playoff crowd, though. Crappy outcome but great experience.

At least we're not the only team to get blown out today, plus the Cavs lost.

Gonna go and spend my weekend watching anime and reading manga. If anyone wants recommendations, just hit me up.

I still feel better next game. This is the game I am most worried about. I know Brad will make adjustments, and hopefully the Cavs role players will lose a bit of their adrenaline.
Haha what anime are you watching rn?

Watching Major 2nd atm. Ive ran out of good anime series to watch so only choice is new episodes.
Nice.

Reading Berserk for the first time in ages - really feeling my inner Guts after this L
Haha I'm watching really weird stuff rn like Highschool DxD. Also no Boku no hero/Darling in the Franxx?
Waiting patiently for the next season of Attack on Titan.

Its this July I think. Have to control myself from reading what happens next in the manga  ;D

I usually just read manga when I know its not gonna be animated anymore or they stopped animating them. Or just until the part where they show it in the anime.

Highschool DxD is fun, fanservice aside. Naruto and the spinoffs are popular, but I didnt really get into that. Gintama is another highly rated series that I didnt really enjoy.

Major is a pretty good anime, I'd say its on my top five. Its about baseball, and you somehow get the feeling of this Celtics team from watching that.
Any of you guys read LNs and VNs?

LNs yes. VNs when I was younger. My Japanese is still rough so I have to wait for translations.
Haha I'm Chinese so I know a bit of Kanji, but it's insanely lacking so I need translations as well. I feel bad that I read OG FSN when I was a child though lol

We are all Chinese, hey how did a game thread turn into film review?
Well not all. I'm a 53 year old white guy. Fell in love with Attack on Titan when watching it with my son on Netflix. Since then I have watched a couple other anime and really like them.

Sometimes a good old fashioned butt whooping is what a young team needs. I can imagine that we are going to come out guns a blazing on Sunday and have a nail biter. Nothing judges the character of a team better then getting destroyed in every phase of the game. Expecting a better game and result tomorrow.

They played great today in the fourth after looking really "on the road" for most of the game.  They continue to surprise me.  I did not see that fourth quarter coming (and half of third I guess).  Should be 2 or 3 more really good games.  This is great experience for Brown, Tatum, Rozier.  Either team is going to have to really work and maybe have some luck to win this series.  Home court is still really big.
