Yup.
Celtics are inside the Buck’s heads, and anyone that says otherwise are lying to themselves.
Getting blown out twice by their starters, and having (arguably) the most embarrassing win of the season against their hospital lineup shows you everything you need to know.
While I appreciate the coping mechanisms of “being on a B2B” or “taking them lightly”, those excuses aren’t going to win anyone any games.
Bucks *better* hope for a miracle so they don’t have to play Boston in the playoffs. What else should they do? Flush the film on something that’s happened 3 of the last 4 times they’ve played? That’s not scheme at that point, that’s just mental and physical domination on all levels.
Edit: Also, adding this late but someone please tell me who have the Bucks beaten this season? Denver without Jokic? Philly 6 months ago? Boston’s D Team? Phoenix without KD? They beat Sacramento twice, and they swept the Knicks, so good for them I guess. What game(s) does Milwaukee have to cling to where they can say “This is who we are/can be.”?
Well glad that’s over, thank God this wasn’t a playoff game.
Throw whatever caveats you want on it, there’s no way you can’t be at least a little concerned by this. On top of that it’s never good to give a team a mental edge in a potential dog fight series.
That being said, it’s still one regular season game, if you’re writing us off at this point you might as well just tune out til next year. Never forget, we’re the best team in the NBA.
The Celtics have to be holding a black magic ritual before every Bucks game. It’s legitimately insane how they shoot this consistent at such a high pace, while we simply forget how to play basketball.
Good news is that if Thanasis gets suspended it won’t affect his minutes too much
Welp, that was quite deflating.
Better be a major wake up call for the boys or this gonna go a lot like last year
What an ass spanking and absolute embarrassment of a loss boys. Absolute sour taste in my mouth , but we will fucking bounce backk. FEAR THE FUCKING DEAR BOYSSS
Still have hope for the playoffs, but a prime opportunity for a signature win turned into a game where everything went wrong.
Nothing positive to say.
Bucks need to figure it out man. They’ve lost to the Celtics healthy twice and barely beat their bench.
Boston is the biggest obstacle in the way of the Bucks winning another title with this core, and they have not instilled much confidence in us fans that they can beat them in a series.
I just hope this game lights a fire under them because a loss like this to a contender at this point of the year is flat out unacceptable and embarrassing
​
BE BETTER BUCKS
Not gonna win many games letting the opponent shoot 50% from 3 and shooting 20% better than you while also having more assists, rebounds and steals than you do.
If anything maybe this helps us devise different defensive strategies for Tatum and Brown, but a lot of their shots were already what I would consider fairly well contested. They are just good at basketball.
Hope Mids is ok and we get back to cooking shortly.
We HAVE to win on Sunday against the Sixers. Or else, it’s time to have a conversation.
Anyone who tries to make excuses for this are fooling themselves.
The offense stayed in Indiana and defensively we just never seemed to match their intensity. Shitty embarrassing worrisome performance but not the end of the world either.
Tonight was a massive opportunity to get right against the Celtics and essentially lock up the 1 seed at home. Even a “respectable” loss would’ve been fine.
Instead the entire team just doesn’t show up and gets utterly embarrassed. Terrible Fucking look tonight. And now you know if they face off in the playoffs the bucks will be in their heads…
Did some amazon cope shopping so all good. On to the next one
Yeah not a fun game to watch everything went south so fast. Hopefully we still keep holding on to that one seed rest of the season.
Yeah. That sucked. I hope the boys learn from this failure.
I didn’t watch the game but why did the Celtics win by such a large margin? Was it just the back to back games leading to fatigue or?
Dragic was our 4th leading scorer and played 7 minutes. lol.
Was hoping for a better game on my birthday but oh well, on to the next one
Yikes. That is all I have to say.
Hopefully this kicks their asses into gear. All I can say, really. Rather get beat now than in the playoffs. Nothing positive to really say, though.
Celtics look like shit vs so many teams, but they have free real estate over Philly and bucks, which might end up being the only thing to even matter in the East
[me after this game](https://youtu.be/c5ioFAGyx1M)
Hoping someone smarter can help me figure out this Bucks team. This is a deep, talented team. We know their ceiling.
But man do we get absolutely spanked at times. I can’t remember the last time we beat a playoff team by 40 like this.
Honestly this one makes me nervous for the playoffs. A respectable loss would’ve been one thing, but getting destroyed at home a few weeks before playoffs is pretty deflating.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum we got stomped ! Playoffs gonna be a dog fight
Very ugly, would have been a statement win, but chill on the doom and gloom and “fraud” talk. We are the best team in the league. I’ll take Giannis, Khris, Jrue and Brook over any teams top 4. We have a top offensive, top defensive and crazy depth. They said we couldn’t beat KD in 7 at his house and we did. Giannis was out for the ECF and Brook drops 33. We were down 2-0 in the finals and won 4 straight. It’s Bucks in 6 baby and always will be. There’s a reason playoffs are a series, not just one game.
