At the end of the first half, I was thinking, “Nah, Celtics will let the Bucks back in it, like they usually do with teams by blowing a huge lead.” Proved me wrong, they clamped down hard on Milwaukee. I love to see it as a Celtics fan. I hope they can find a way to play like this more consistently.

Shutting up this notion that if Middleton was there last players against Boston… bla bla bla, he is a very inconsistent player and Jrue is Jrue, he’s good but not a game changer

So gianiss chose to throw up shots instead of letting his teammates get shots? Dru went from scoring 50 to only taking 8 shots

Boston has to be like the most bipolar team in the league. Seriously they play like a championship team against contenders and then play like first round exits against bad teams
