Yup.  Same thing happened in Milwaukee early in game three.

In Philly in front of Fultz!  Love it!

We didn't manage to win a road game against the Bucks. Let's see if this team can finally learn how to win on the road in the playoffs.

They had game 4 in Milwaukee. A couple bad calls went against us late that swung points in their favor.

Had we had Smart in the game, we win it and probably don’t even go back to Milwaukee again in game 6.
Not really true.  We had some bad calls go in our favor too.

Yeah, the NBA 2-minute report disagrees with you. The Bucks legitimately only won that game due to officiating errors down the stretch that they scored on.
The two clear ones were the hold that Tatum committed and the foul on brown.  There was also an offensive foul on Giannis that he missed and let to the breakaway.  So that didn’t really hurt us.

Did I miss anything?

The foul on Brown was a five point swing - two free throws that he didn't get to shoot and the fast break that led to a three on that very play. We were up two at that point, and that five point swing ultimately sealed the game.
Okay, what about the obvious, easy to call hold by Tatum?  We were behind as I recall so that play also swung the game.  So certainly not easy to sa6 we would have won, as you just can’t add up the points.

But you can with our disadvantaged plays. The foul by Tatum only led to a turnover. The foul by Middleton led to a turnover, two missed free throw opportunities, and a big three by Middleton on that fastbreak. So at the very least you can say we were certainly screwed out of 3 points by the bad no-call, as that shot couldn't have happened if it would've been called. And that's not considering the free throws that Brown would've had, too, let alone the other bad no-call that Giannis got away with on the charge.

Tatum is my favorite rookie ever.  First legit superstar prospect we’ve had since Bird and I wasn’t alive during Larry’s rookie year.

See Pierce, Paul.  Top 50 all time player. 26,000 career points.

Hyperbole much?
love Pierce. He was never a superstar.  Rookie Tatum has a higher ceiling than rookie piece had.

Yeah. Lets not go there.  Paul Pierce was a legit superstar.  If he was playing in this 3 point shooting era, he'd have averaged 30, easy.
Nope.  Love Pierce.  Wasn’t a superstar. I don’t label every allstar a superstar.  Pierce was something like the 12th-20th best player in the league during his prime.  Never even 1st team all-nba.  Didn’t have real success until KG (a superstar) lead us to a title.  Pierce didn’t even crack 50 wins until kg showed up.

Not knocking Pierce.  Tatum might not have that level of success, but he’s the best prospect we’ve had since Larry Bird.  Tatum has all the makings of a true all-nba 1st team level superstar if progresses as expected.  I’ve been comparing him to rookie Kevin Durant all season.

It really is amazing how Ben Simmons just won't shoot. There was a possession there where Morris completely lost him, and Simmons was wide open at the 3pnt line for five seconds and just didn't even think about shooting it.
Hes a terrible shooter.  At least he knows it I guess.

Rozier simply has to play better on the road.
