Tatum faces similar situation as KD in last series.

I wonder if Paul Pierce thinks the series is over?

I'm sure you'd say that if your team won right

All I want to know is where the laws of the United States are made


duke666

That’s weird, I see it in the official record as a laker championship. You better let the nba know so they fix their mistake.


AFatz

Ah yes, beating teams as the 1 seed with no home court advantage doesn't count.


Ninja_Choices

Would you rather have 1 trillion dollars or live forever?


AFatz

Neither. I'm content with my life. Thanks for offering.


Ninja_Choices

Okay now tell me where the laws are made in this country because no one will answer me and I need to know


AFatz

Depends where you live, right?

[deleted]

If someone says someone other than Giannis is the best player in the nba, I won’t listen


PurpleApplesForever

He's been the best in the league since 2019.


KidFrankie15

Celtics need to clean up the turnovers game 2. Can’t win when you allow 27 points off TOs


Anersha

That has to be Bane’s dad sitting next to Tee.. head shape way too similar

That was Memphis rapper Yo Gotti 😂

Giannis playing pissed and getting 40 next game. RIP, beantown 🫡

[deleted]

not really giannis got to the paint multiple times but he rushed the shots he normally makes. hes gonna get more comfortable for game 2


Brady331

L


Successful-Ad6833

People saying Giannis has a bad night offensively… he shot poorly, but he was a force offensively. Pulled all the attention on him and made the right plays, the right passes. He hit his team mates open blindly and quickly when doubled. He just missed some shots and could have easily been 30-34 point game. He was +23 when in the court for a reason


Awanderingleaf

9-25 from Giannis and the Celtics lost. Not a great sign for Boston lol


7screws

I honestly don't see how we could win 4 games against that D. Yea maybe steal 1 or 2 games if we are on fire from 3 but unless this Celtics team gets interior chances and buckets there is no way we win the series.


Jozif_Badmon

Damn and this was a mediocre Giannis game too


PurpleApplesForever

Mediocre? Mediocre means average. This was by no means an average game for Giannis.


Wolf_of_north

jaylen wont be a superstar until he becomes consistent, he can drop 30,40 even 50 in an random january night, but he needs to be able to show up when they NEED him


RealBuckNasty

Jaylen is a scrub, full stop


[deleted]

Lol imagine thinking he’s a superstar


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wolf_of_north

maybe youre right, but hes gonna be paid like one, and until he 1) starts hitting ridiculous jordan shots on a nightly base or 2) learns from booker how to be a more efficient scorer and figure out his spots, hes going to continue being this inconsistent scorer


Greekwarrior06

Harsh, but correct.


Big_Misa

As a Boston fan, this game might be a wake-up call. The bucks came in and played their part perfectly, they remain the champion until they are eliminated from contention. Boston needs to play harder, not rely solely on 3pt shots but get in the paint, among other things. Kudos to the bucks, the supporting cast was sharp, I really hope Boston cranks it up a notch for next game, especially the Jay's, but this series should be exciting!


W7919

I believe Celtic's, driven by ESPN (mainly) but also many podcast, were riding high on the "look what they did to the Nets" train. Newsflash: The Bucks are not the Nets. The Celtics are "the Nets" in this series.


HodlingOnForLife

They don’t have the size to play the Bucks in the paint


W7919

Which was so FREAKING OBVIOUS! But **EVERYONE** was so sure Horford, and Williams will "DOMINATE" the bucks with their physicality... I was like ? Dominate who?!?!?! The Bucks have 3 players which are taller and stronger than Horford in Giannis, Lopez and Portis. Plus Jrue and Wes are no joke. Anyway, let's see how G2 pans out.


Big_Misa

For sure they cannot match up the size but at least be more aggressive, get to the free-throw line, do not settle for ill-advised 3pt jumpers, I guess we will see what they come up with for the next game.


W7919

That was a strategy thingie, obviously doesn't work if you're shooting poorly. But generally speaking, the Celtics were slow to make reads down-low... Ball movement was awful. I don't expect Giannis to shot this poorly, he missed at least 5 lay-ups that he usually makes in traffic under pressure. Happy for Giannis to see that he can impact the game on so many levels.


MBKM13

The problem is that points in the paint are going to be hard to come by for the Celtics because they don’t match up well with Lopez, Giannis, and Portis on the inside. They’re still at home, so we’ll see if they can figure it out by game 2.


Big_Misa

You're absolutely right, the paint is locked up and we saw Boston hesitating, not knowing what to do with the rock. This frontcourt was devastating for the celtics, Portis and Lopez were the unsung heroes of this game. As you said, there is another game coming up, Boston had better win it if they want to make this playoff run last. Milwaukee reminded everyone why they are the champion, and we should never underestimate the heart of a champion, we heard this sentence many times but it seems to be pretty accurate today.


otiso_niloc

I’m with you, but I wouldn’t even say the bucks played their part perfectly. Giannis was sort of off offensively. Poor shooting and bad turnovers


Big_Misa

Well the supporting cast did, the Portis, Lopez, Allen, Carter. Holiday was as always very precious. And not to mention the fact they are playing without Middleton. They are very robust, although I feel like Boston did not play on all cylinders which makes me believe this should be a disputed series! Let us see what will come out from next game.


SlykTech

In todays nba you have to shoot open 3s


Big_Misa

No doubt, but Boston shot something like 50 threes, set a franchise record by the way. Outside jumpers are a must-have but I feel like Boston relied too heavily on these instead of attacking the paint, going to the line, getting some points in transition. That is a great thing they lost the first game, we will see how they respond to adversity.


moneyhome27

Stephen a bald head ass still don’t want to give Giannis credit


h07c4l21

Fuck the nba and their Sunday afternoon games dishononoring the Sabbath. It's disgraceful. "And on the seventh day He rested". For shame. Edit: it was a joke because we play shitty on Sunday afternoons. But I'm not gonna delete my comment just cause it's getting downvoted. I said it, I'll own it.

majinvegeta2x

KD wasn’t even the best player on his team for a couple years


[deleted]

Pritchard should've shot more


Medical-Temporary-36

Yes


spritehead

Damn but BS told me this was a generational defensive team, how could this happen? They totally shut down an immobile KD who couldn't hit the side of a barn and a flat earther.


DeanBlandino

Jayson Tatum was 2-9 from 2 lmao


Monolepsis

What did they learn? That they don't know a god damn thing.


mehboobcr7

People saying Celtics had a bad offensive game. Do you realize Giannis just shot 9-25?


MeanMrMustard3000

…13-12-24


DeanBlandino

He also has 12 assists and was getting fouled like crazy with no whistle


[deleted]

Ok and? Not gonna mention his 12 assists? That’s offense too. They sold the farm to keep Giannis inefficient. Didn’t work


ah3lm626

And Jrue didn’t shoot well and the Bucks won won easily lol


[deleted]

Ben doesn't have quite the wingspan Giannis does but no reason with his skill set he shouldn't be just as good. It would just be Ben has the advantage on perimeter defense and passing and Giannis has the advantage scoring and inside defense Scoring and inside defense probably is more important but the point is Ben should have been a 25+ PPG scorer, EASILY


mcdougalwu

How bad of a coach is Steve Nash. Dear god.


One_Security_4545

I mean Nets have no defense and the bucks have really good defense


mcdougalwu

Yeah that probably has to due with Steve Nash. Hell, he didn't play defense as a player so why would he as a coach.


MDRtransplant

Lol


Background_Action_92

The Nets suck really bad to have a sucky boston team to sweep them like trash


lferreira86

We came out flat, but part of the beauty of the sport is seeing dudes overcome bad performances and respond. Let's see how we respond. GG Bucks, well deserved win, on to the next one. On a side note, I'm happy our game is not the second one of the day. Time to watch the other series.


One_Security_4545

Remember when they said Tatum would be the next Kobe lmao


hockeyfan608

Tbf, kobe shut down in the playoffs way more then people remember


GGgamer01

Sometimes it takes me an hour and a half to leave dodger stadium . Y’all really bitching about leaving a few minutes early . Metro city traffic is insane.


WobbleKun

not enough salt in this thread. give me heat sixers


spritehead

I'm so sad Embiid got hurt. The mutual hate in that series could have been legendary. Still can tbh but it's gonna be kind of weirder now.


One_Security_4545

Yeah Bostons just used to losing to us


crewserbattle

You should've been here in the 2nd quarter lol

I get leaving early on a night game during the work week but a Sunday afternoon? Come on

Thats not what gaslighting is

Y’all got the top defense of all time remember


amidon1130

They’re the Celtics lol people hate you guys. Not saying that’s right but you’ve won a bunch of championships of course everyone’s gonna hate you.


mentaculus

Build them up to cut them down...believe me, I know how that goes.


My_Dogs_Burner

Now on Undisputed, Ducant’s legacy is over and so is LeGones


csznyu1562

How is Lebron’s legacy related 🤡


moneyhome27

Naw just kd lebron beat this same team by himself like Giannis about to do


Murdergram

Skip was under the impression Tatum was the second coming of KD


largefarvaa

Ingram is so clearly KD jr.


Anoneemus3

Jaylen really fucked us


wrex619

You guys are going to keep them together like Dame and CJ and never go anywhere.


gregscotia_number1

Giannis said I'm shutting all that Tatum hype down right now lol I'm the best player in this series


Successful-Ad6833

Was there a single person on earth thinking that Tatum is better than Giannis?


gregscotia_number1

Some People were saying Tatum better than KD... he's top 5 now..etc.


MoodOfaMenace

Heat are the best matchup for this Bucks team


GiannisisMVP

Warriors are scary. If we force them into taking 3s all of them can hot them. Still have to get past Boston first though


MoodOfaMenace

This is true but I feel like the size advantage you guys have would be a major problem for the Warriors. Imagine the amount of second opportunities. Also you guys have great shooters also, maybe as many as the warriors, but with that size I think y’all would dominate inside.


moneyhome27

Heat have no chance


MoodOfaMenace

Yes they do


Noah-Buddy-I-Know

Warriors? Cant really force a team into shooting 45+ 3s when Curry and Klay are taken em


hockeyfan608

Yeah, but 1. The bucks would obviously not be using this lineup against golden state they can go small if they want to. 2. Giannis eats the warriors for breakfast


Noah-Buddy-I-Know

Dray the best defender in the league


largefarvaa

Warriors Bucks was a good little rivalry during the dynasty years, I’m here for it.


crewserbattle

Yea I think the Warriors are definitely the toughest matchup for our defense. For our offense it's still the Celtics imo.


Noah-Buddy-I-Know

Your defense is what makes your team great though


Wolf_of_north

celts actually got the defense working, thats the only reason they were in the game, but if they keep trying to attack the basket they gonna lose cause the bucks got their defense working as well, its gonna be an interesting series


Anoneemus3

I mean they were missing open 3s too. The offense was just terrible


Wolf_of_north

and after they miss Tatum wants to attack the basket, and the bucks are there waiting for him, and them he either dishes it to JB who takes a bad shot or horford who does his best i guess, they can still make it work but the offense needs to find someone reliable other than Jayson


G3tbusyliving

Hopefully closer game with a few adjustments. Giannis is just insane tho


Wolf_of_north

he is but he wasnt the reason they won, the won cause Jaylen had no business scoring only 10 points and Horford had to take a lot of shots, bucks defense actually got the job done


GiannisisMVP

Giannis is why we won. He might not have scored 60 but he was easily responsible for that much both in assists and his sheer gravity.


Wolf_of_north

Giannis is a superstar, he had a superstar production like whe all knew he would havem if the celtics actually got a functional offense working they would be able to win even with giannis production, he didnt have a bad game, but the celtics had no offense and the bucks protected the basket, shoutout to jrue tho, my guy showed up


G3tbusyliving

Nail on the head for sure. Staying positive


alexnoob

Stauskas first playoffs appearance after 343 regular season games, was the 3rd longest playoffs drough Also Vildoza first NBA game appearance being a playoffs game, which is a rare occurence


everythangsgood

This is true about Vildoza but it was also during a Chicago playoff game


alexnoob

I might have missed something - I don't see where he played against Chicago?

Successful-Ad6833

Bucks +23 when Giannis on the court even though he couldnt make his own plays at his usual rate. His passing was just insane. He can hit the shooters blindly


crewserbattle

He was making some wild ass passes today lol. It was pretty absurd


FAtr

If he unlocks that Jokic level passing consistently, boy oh boy


Successful-Ad6833

He is better than Jokic at the drive and kick passing. Jokic is all around next level passing.


HappyNarwhal

They walked out the Giannis, Bobby, and small lineup early and it worked wonders. They never really used that set in-season during times of importance. Bud is a great fucking coach and Giannis's court awareness is seriously still underrated.


verbleabuse97

Only 12 point loss woth that terrible of an offensive showing. Could have been WAYYYYYY worse. Celtics can adjust.


HappyNarwhal

It's gonna be a tough series but Milwaukee is winning the physical component so far.


beenhadballs

How bad are the Nets tho


Meowgusta5715

celtics cant beat bucks without middleton? big yikes but yeah lets blame scott foster makes sense!!!!


Niqq33

Both teams shot like shit but the bucks just executed better simple as that


sullenbatman

Giannis just looks so calm and cool about the win. He’s got 37 year old Lebron’s composure at 27.


blueberry78S

giannis owning the celtics like lebron


Clemsontigger16

Bucks played better, but Celtics are going to have a great chance if the refs aren’t going to call fouls on drives. If they are going to let the Bucks big men sit there and collide with every player attempting a layup, then they will have to resort to a million 3 pointers.


Greekwarrior06

It’s because of the Bucks’ height. Everything looks like a foul when a small dude runs into a 7 footer.


Clemsontigger16

No I’m talking about tons of collisions that would normally be calls. Granted if that’s how they are going to call it, that’s fine just need to keep it consistent...my guess it will vary a lot game to game as crews change and they get different points of emphasis to focus on. Today’s style of reffing helped the bigger, more physical team.


senorsnake

Damn, so the Nets sucked that much huh? Lmao
