    What a crazy finish. Bucks pull off the late feet on the ropes, hook the tights heel finish today.

    I called them winning though. Didn’t say it’d be pretty.

        that was one of the worst officiated games i've ever seen. relax both sides. the stuff Giannis is able to get away with. Celtics really needed to steal that one with Tatum playing as bad as anyone has seen him, that certainly won't happen again. the fact they were in the game with Giannis going crazy is a good sign but there's no moral victories in the playoffs. How you allow the Jrue pushoff and not give Smart 3 FTs on that i'll never know but we move on.

          I was legitimately confused what some of the calls even were in this game. I don’t really understand anything that happened today but obviously happy to escape with a win.

            I was going insane. that 4th Quarter was too little too late for the Cs. this feels like this is going the distance.

              I’m honestly surprised we managed to win two games in this series but now I’m starting to think maybe we can actually win this thing. I still feel like Boston is the better team though.

                they absolutely can, it all comes down to Boston's offense. when they move the ball and run their stuff they will get good shots but you don't really trust them to do it consistently as we've seen. Bucks D is elite so that plays a role but Boston gets sped up and frustrated very easily. for MIL it's key for them to get Transition points because they are getting nothing in the halfcourt. they did more today but it's still not great but them getting in transition is huge.

                  With Middleton I'd favor the Bucks in the series, but without him it's the Celtics although I think that Bucks might be able to pull it out, but it's going to be really difficult to do so.

                    I trust in Giannis. I think Boston is the better overall team. But Giannis will keep them afloat. Jrue has become a great second option too.

                      This game was too much edge of your seat game.

                      The refs were terrible on both sides of the ball, ugh.

                      Yeah, you can say Jrue might have pushed off on Tatum, but I thought

                      seeing replay Jrue stepped on his shoe.

                      In the first quarter I think it was, you could say that Tatum pushed off

                      on Wes too when Bud went after the ref. Never seen Bud do that.

                      So, yeah, both sides were head scratchers.

                      And I agree it will go to the wire as well, but of course, I'm rooting, "Bucks in 6."

                      We only played well for one quarter and still eeked out a win, I'll take

                      winning ugly.

                        Tatum had 10 points and the nerve to think he could help his team by flopping. Hopefully he can bounce back and play better basketball.

                          jrue 100p pushed off(but i can see that one more 50-50 than the others). Tatum got away with a few but the thing his always get called because they are so blatant is the frustration. Smart not shooting 3 FTs or the Giannis obvious goaltend is what hurts. Also think Giannis yanking Grants arm or Wes dive on White should've been considered Flagrant 1 but whatever you gotta overcome that stuff.

                          I think Cs bounce back next game but you gotta find a way to get Tatum free. can't believe there were playing drop and he still couldn't find a way to punish them. I think the midrange j is wide open but i dunno if he's comfortable taking it. they just gotta be patient with the offense and limit transition but they get in their own head. This feels alot like the bubble TOR series they barely won in that it could be the opposite way this time. they are just making a lot of dumb mistakes.

                            I think I missed the Giannis yanking one. I don’t really see the argument for Wes diving for the loose ball. It’s kinda dangerous but it would be tough to call a flagrant on a guy diving for a loose ball. We’ve seen Smart do that same thing a ton too; it’s always been called a common foul as far as I know.

                            The goaltend was pretty obvious (though the first one earlier in the series was even more obvious lol). I think the “push off” and the non-shooting fouls were both ruled correctly and I’m not surprised the L2M report confirmed those. I can kinda get the argument on the non-shooting foul but the league has been mostly playing it safe on fouls as guys come around screens like that all year and I think Smart’s attempt at selling the call made it look even more unnatural.

                            The “push off” just wasn’t a push off. Tatum just tripped over Jrue’s foot. If that push is called an offensive foul these games would be struggling to get out of the 60s. Pretty much everybody is pushing harder than that on most possessions. The L2M report actually said it should have been a foul on Tatum, which might have improved Boston’s odds if they had called it.

                              Sixers defense turning on their offense at the end of the that quarter. But Joel Embiid has been a difference. Scored about 3 times on those high low entry passes to the post. Looks old lol. I love it. I love when you see the corner man lift putting that help defender in major conflict. In this case Maxey is getting waaaaaaaay too much space. Butler is fronting Embiid. That's game over. PXL_20220509_011617030.MP.jpg

                              Also Danny Green is engaged like a mother f*****.

                                Good first half so far. But Sixers have to be better on entry passes when Joel is being fronted by a smaller defender.
