The Bucks Just Made a Statement

[@khashmoney6985]

I would rather have the Bucks make all of their mistakes now than later

[@ilikecheeze5110]

Fr we not even half way thru the season, they have time to make mistakes and figure out they flaws.

[@Jackson54321]

If the bucks continue to make strides and play physical and aggressive defense like they did Thursday, I could see them being right there with Boston. But if they trickle back to their bad defensive habits, and dame is still inconsistent, that proves that this was certainly a fluke game for the Celtics, and the bucks may have just caught them at the right time.

[@TheeKing7]

The feeling is mutual

[@andrewabraham5109]

Man, what a dominant performance by Milwaukee especially defensively which was probably their best defensive game.

[@Ironfangzu]

Suuure, a statement win, right? Not so much. The Bucks showed that they can beat the Celtic's 2nd team and also their 3rd stringers too. The Celtics had an actual statement game the previous night, the best team (by record) in the East beating the Timberwolves, the best team in the West, in a closely contested game that wasn't settled until overtime. The Celtics preserved their perfect home court record at 18-0. Tatum scored 45 and Brown added 35, for 80 points combined. For their next game against the Bucks, the Celtics played their starters token minutes and pulled them all by the 2nd Qtr. Giannis and company beat the stuffings out of guys named LeMarr Stevens, JD Davidson, and Oshae Brisset. Look at the game stats and the minutes played by each Celtics player. The Bucks are a good team, obviously. But they did not make any statement on this night. They got a W that the Celtics handed to them because they decided to rest their starters.

Wins a win.. Same thing happened last year when bucks were the top seed and got blown out by the Cs in a bucks back to back..

Celtics were coming from a tough win v the TW but were just nowhere near what it needed to be the bucks tonight..even if Celtics were fresh they would've probably lost this one..Bucks are that good when they're on.. This also spoke to the squishy spine of the Cs..their was no fight in them to the point Joe surrendered.. That has meaning in the playoffs

[@Jackson54321]

Celtics played so bad they set a record for most points down at halftime in the shot clock era…Celtics are 15-1 when they make 38% or higher from 3 and 14-8 when they don’t. League average is about 36% so I’d say when those shots are falling it’s very difficult for teams to win, but they weren’t, and the bucks physically were better and more rested, so Celtics couldn’t attack the post either. Edit: unless this does affect the players the next however many games taking them out at halftime is a weak move, but that’s not gonna happen in the playoffs if they happen to be down that much. Plus what did the bench guys do? Ended up out scoring the bucks bench + starters by 5 in the 2nd half, and shot 8/13 from 3.

[@airborne_seal]

I don’t think it’s good enough to blame the Celtics poor night on being tired since, while it might have played some factor, every team in the league has faced back-to-backs where they have managed to win. In fact, Bostons bench unit actually went toe to toe with Milwaukees starters in the 3rd, suggesting that they might have had a better shot in this game if they involved the bench sooner. Still, you can’t disregard the Bucks offense in this game. They put on an absolute masterclass and I imagine taking down a bitter rival in such a big way would give the entire team a much needed morale boost, given how they’ve struggled as of late. This will be an interesting playoff series when we get to it, especially once Dame has his personal life sorted and he and Giannis get more chemistry… scary times

[@elizaschaeffer34]

Frankly they knew what their schedule was. They knew they were facing a tired twolves team who just completed their own first game of the back to back. Yet the wolves took the lazy celtics to overtime. Then the Celtics decided to come to Milwaukee and let the slumping bucks walk all over them. They assumed that the bucks would continue to slump. They knew their schedule and they could've been prepared, and if they had adequate depth, they could've reduced their starters minutes in both games. but not so. Celtics will likely find out what everyone else already knows: a couple losses can start to add up. You can't act like being the first seed is guaranteed less than halfway through an 82 game season lol
