Y’all wanna see a dead body?
Bucks were so bad Thanasis played enough minutes to get ejected
Furiously working on crafting the perfect “imagine if Khris Middleton was healthy” joke
I have regrettably been informed that although Middleton played tonight, this win still does not count bc (*checks notes*) the Bucks were tired
we’ll get em next time boys :/
close one
The Celtics are the perfect answer to the Bucks.
Horford and Grant Williams are two of the best Giannis defenders in the league, and if that wasn’t enough, they are sending aggressive double and triple teams when he gets anywhere near the paint. Hell, I saw 4 Celtics jerseys trying to stop him on an inbounds play at one point. Giannis takes the most annoying ass concession three pointers against Boston because they build so stiff a wall Trump would name Joe Mazzulla Secretary of Defense if re-elected.
I watched a possession in the 2nd where Giannis kicked it out to Crowder because they were near triple-teaming him in the corner. Crowder was wide open, hesitated because of the rotating defender, then passed it to Ingles who had weeks to shoot it, then hesitated for the pass to the corner that he couldn’t make because the defender cheated over slightly long enough for a defender to get to Ingles then stayed back on Holiday (?). That possession I felt embodied the entire second quarter. They could not hit water falling out of a boat all frame and it legit started getting in their heads to not brick yet another 3 (they were shooting a scorching 14% from deep at the time).
If the Bucks’ inability to hit literally anything wasn’t bad enough, the fact that Boston could. not. miss from deep only poured gasoline on the dumpster fire that was the Bucks today. The Bucks’ defense is still heavily predicated on daring the opponent from beating them from deep, and the Celtics responded by doing things from distance that would be illegal in at least 29 other states. The Bucks started taking panic shots at points in the second which further killed any offense they mustered up because the Celtics would just toss up yet another three like it was nothing while Milwaukee was struggling just to put together an offensive possession.
Robert Williams might have been the single most impactful player tonight and he had 7 points off the bench in a game where Tatum and Brown scored 30+. That dude outhustled every Buck on the floor and it felt like every 50-50 ball just found him after a while because dude was getting rebounds in all types of congestion. There were so many possessions when the Bucks did everything right defensively except secure the defensive rebound and it ended up in a Celtic’s hands for an easy bucket.
The Celtics put the Bucks in the league’s two worst feedback loops in a way no one else can. Defensively, they force Giannis into awkward shots in the paint by changing his shot angles and introducing a second or third body into the shot attempt, forcing him to pass out to shooters, who for some reason are *generationally* dogshit against the Celtics and only the Celtics, forcing Giannis to spam shots including terrible 3-pointers and the cycle repeats. Offensively, they become 15 Steph Currys against the Bucks, which makes getting to the paint ridiculously easy when they force them to sell out completely to stop 3s they ain’t gonna miss anyways.
That one guy who put Tatum over Giannis in that ESPN MVP poll is laughing his ass off right now 😂
Everybody that said it would have the feel of a ‘playoff game’, failed to mention that ‘game’ was Mavs Suns gm 7
Brutal game. Ouch.
Tatum with 40 points what a game for him
Um what the fuck was that
I fully blame this loss on the Bucks color scheme.
Idk if “defeat” is the right word to use here
DPOY Lopez got scorched tonight ngl
[Celtics fans watching this game](https://i.imgur.com/F0ln7QB.jpeg)
The cities of Milwaukee and Philadelphia have wronged Al Horford in some type of way
Hydrogen Bomb vs. Coughing Baby
Home court ain’t gonna matter if you’re gonna lose at home by a billion
Damn, close game all around, celtics really came in clutch at the end tho!
Remind me of Milwaukee losing by 40+ against Brooklyn in 2021. They are a weird team
I do not understand this team
That shit was like the all star game
Not looking forward to the next 24 hours on this sub

Celtics fans tonight
Watch us lose against Utah next lmao.
But for real though, Marcus Smart has made spectacular plays for the Jays, especially for JB and some people here thinks he needs to be benched
Thank god we’ll probably be playing the Bucks and Sixers in the playoffs and not the Magic or Wizards.
That was objectively rude by the Celtics.
It’s crazy how you can go from scoring 50 points to 6 points in a day lol
If I had a nickel every time the Bucks lost to a playoff team by 41 points, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, But it’s weird that it happens twice.
How the heck did Giannis put up 27 in shots in 25 minutes to end with 24 points
I knew this game was over when Horford was pulling from 30 feet
Celtics are weird. I’d favor them in a playoff series against the Bucks and Sixers. However, of those three teams I also feel like the Celtics are the most likely to get upset by a lower seed in the first round. They’ve been playing to the level of their competition all year for better or worse.
Why TNT was showing a Pornhub video?
Dragic clutch in preventing a 50 point loss.
Embiid: ducked
Jokic: ducked
Giannis: got humiliated at home
Fox is the true MVP
This is what we call a good ole fashioned ass kicking. I’m sure the Bucks will rebound from this but lawd the C’s looked good tonight. Reminded everyone why they were the favorites to win the East for a majority of the season.
You’re welcome for wearing them down Celts.
Talk that shit Celtics fans!
Celtics annihilated the Bucks in Milwaukee and trump gets indicted all in the same night. What a great night.
