They need to pull Adams out of the paint and switch him on to Curry/Poole every play and punish them for having him on the floor. That’s the key to victory. Everyone assumed thats why Grizz weren’t playing him, but Warriors didn’t make them pay at all. Dude was camping in the paint just dominating.

Sucks that his career is possibly over due to Embiid choosing to fall down after every play

To be fair I don’t think its all Embiid just flopping. He said his doctors told him to fall if he is going to land awkward to protect his knees.
Currys medical team told him the same thing. If someone is near his landing zone to fall down instead so he isn’t putting all his weight on his ankles in case someone ends up under him. It’s why you see Curry fall down on a ton of 3s when people close out into his space.
I have a tendency to be overly pessimistic regarding my teams. You wouldn’t know it based on my optimism for these playoffs but I truly felt this Celtics team was the best in the league. I still kind of feel that way but I don’t feel good about tonight’s game. I can see Boston jumping out to an early lead but after the massive choke job (all credit to Milwaukee for giving them the opportunity to choke but that fourth quarter was vintage late 2021 Celtics), I fear that the first run Milwaukee makes, Celtics completely panic and totally turtle up on offense.
If we lose I’ll probably be super salty so in advance I’ll tip my cap to Meb, dk and anyone else and say it’s been a fun series.

I thought Boston was the 3rd or 4th best team coming into the playoffs, kind of a coinflip with GS.
Milwaukee is better, but when Middleton went down I expected Boston to win. Boston might be the second best team in the league this year, but go down in the second round because Giannis is the best player in the league.
They were the better team imo they just made too many mistakes. They have time as theyre mostly a young team with a new coach
Huh. Three-point shots are worth more than one-point shots.
Bud should really play Carter instead of Hill. Hill contributes nothing at this point.
Hey, just a reminder if any of you play in the NBA: if you take a blow to the head, be sure you don’t take a moment to collect yourself or you’ll get hit with a delay of game.

Yet another game where the Bucks’ supporting cast are useless and Jrue and Giannis have to do everything.
Bucks bench clowning on Horford for that travel, how dare they
Let them have that. They’re not useful for anything else.

Giannis would tire out sooner if he had to carry his own bags.
Wasn’t someone in here saying Tatum is actually 6’10"? I’m not sure about that.
It was based on this:

Which apparently was a joke/exaggeration and has become a Celtics fan meme along with Tatum being only 19.

Now Durant listed at 6’10" seems different to me. I could see myself getting convinced he’s 7’2"

Watching Boston blow this one is going to be hilarious.
Giannis is blindly flailing out seemingly trying to commit offensive fouls on numerous drives
