    Well now.  4th quarter Bucks forgot how to play...

    GS is not playing their usual Splash Brothers style of ball.  It looked like when they went big(Memphis) they could kill the Warriors.  Didn't see that coming.

    Celtics have outscored the Bucks collectively 122-94 in the 4th Q this series (and that includes game 1 when Bucks outscored them, its 103-71 over the past 3 games).
    You can wear Milwaukee down over the course of the game, it shows up in the 4th. The Celtics are the more athletic team overall. Aside from Giannis, Milwaukee's rotation is not particularly athletic. That's why you see Celtics getting to the rim with much more frequency in 4th quarter, Bucks are tired, and their defense falls off significantly late in games.

    Coach needs to change something.  You can't do everything right for 3 quarters then fall off a cliff consistently in the 4th...

    Celtics did not play like this last year but every year they disappoint me so I still hold out for the Bucks to win.

    Phoenix looks lost.  Great adjustment by Kid and the Mavs.
    The Heat have such a deep team they shouldn't be losing to Philly.
    Warriors are going to roll on the Grizz now.
    Boston can't figure out the Bucks so they are done too.
    you are correct on one out of four…maybe two of four.
    How are the Jazz doing?
    they suck, tempo, but that’s got nothing to do with anything. I still say you’re off on at least two of your takes.

    I'm throwing shade, My Lakers are a dumpster fire currently...

    Celtics may prove me wrong here, never trusted them before but now they feel like playing as a team?

    A bit surprised Jamie from Progressive has basically not seen the floor all series for The Heat.


    good one.

    Heat showed up to play.

    Whatever Jason Kid did to prepare the Mavs in games 3&4 he needs to remind the team of that again because they played sloppy ball.

    Boston collapsed at the end.  Great defense by the Bucks that last minute or so.

    Somebody call up GS and let them know that they can turn it up whenever they are ready now.  Talk about a team not needing their star player?  Without Ja they were even better, go figure.

    Huge plays by Jrue Holiday at the end of that game.
    Tough one to lose.

    Him and Portis had big time plays.

    Smart was on the wrong end both times too...

    Yeah Smart had a miserable end to that game.
    And the play where he had his shot blocked and the ball thrown off him was drawn up for Tatum.
    Maybe let the superstar take that shot Marcus.

    For my crystal ball to be right there are a few teams that need to stop flipflopping...

    Phoenix and Mavs are taking turns trying to find the basket...
    Heat made it right.  Doc Rivers will be gone and I hate to think it's his fault but I don't think he is a good fit.
    Warriors are not rolling like they should.  Grizz were better WITHOUT Ja...
    Do the Bucks want it more?

    Right cause they got blown out by 2 points Saturday after a brutal wrong call on the foul that should have given Smart 3 FTs (how is a guy who's left his feet in a jump shot motion not awarded a shooting foul there?) instead of 2 that could have sent it to OT and Horford's tip in came a half second after the buzzer. Yep they certainly can't figure them out. They never stood a chance in that game.
    They aren't making it past the bucks, stop it.
    I guess I'll stop now.

    They just didn't have the legs to keep up with the younger more athletic Celtics.
    Middleton being out was a killer, forcing them to rely on dinosaurs like Wes Matthews and George Hill who should probably both retire.

    You get props for this one.
    Currently getting "blowed "out by almost 40 late 3rd at home in game 7. Crazy.

    I was 3 for 4 in my predictions.  The Boston game had me dumbfounded.  Middleton was surely missed.  You can't win a game with a 2 pointer and the other team is draining 3's.

    Reminded me of when the cavs played against GS and weren't trying for 3's.  That score gets run up real quick.
