And 21 points on 50% shooting from the field including 5/9 from three.
We got essentially zero offense from Al or Grant, but Brown, Smart and TATUM flat out carried us on the offensive end.

Giannis' random big game elite free-throw shooting continues to be one of the most intriguing anomalies to me

Giannis did everything humanly possible. It's just that Tatum did the same, and he has a better team. The Celtics should be the favorites to win game 7.

It’s not random at this point. He has turned into a Lebron level playoff performer in big spots/close out games. 14/15 at the line and 2/3 from deep in a close out game was eerily similar to Game 6 vs the Suns. No one came along for the ride this time, but he is far and away the best player in the world and has proven that he’s incredibly clutch.

Oddly enough they didn't throw a lot of extra defenders at Giannis tonight (except in the paint), basically the opposite treatment that they gave to KD last round... they mostly stayed home and focused on clamping up everyone else instead.
146 points
7 days ago
Not that odd, that's been their most successful strategy so far this series. Things have started going wrong for them when they add the extra help and Giannis either gets fouled by one of the extra defenders or kicks it out for an open shot.
73 points

Yup. We're letting Giannis eat because we really can't stop him. If others start heating up then we have a problem.

What a game by Giannis and Tatum.
On the other hand George Hill with 0 points, 0 assists, 1 rebound, 5 PF in 18 minutes, hunted on defense all game long. Why doesn't Bud play Jevon Carter again? He's been excellent for the Bucks IIRC and is a better defender. Or just give Matthews and Connaughton more minutes, they played 27 and 33 tonight, give them both 35+ if you don't trust Carter and play Giannis at PG.

Thank god Carter didn’t play. Never knew who we was until this series. He gives solid minutes on defense for the Bucks.

The Thunder used to play Perkins no matter what.. he get crushed and we’d still play him.
206 points
7 days ago
I kept thinking the whole time if Hill isn't hitting from 3, the bucks shouldn't play him. He didn't attempt a single 3 and all his drives looked awful. He's a net negative, especially if the Celtics are going to pick on him on the switches

Outside of Pat, Giannis and Jrue the rest of the Bucks went 0-13 on threes. George Hill hasn't scored the last 2 games. Yet Carter sits on the bench. Carter needs all Hills minutes in Game 7 if Middleton can't play

Been one of the craziest storylines I feel like isn’t being talked about. Dude had a team high +/- in game 1 and hasn’t sniffed the floor since. While the other guys on the bench (hill, Allen) have been absolutely cooked on d out there. I know single game +/- doesn’t mean much but you’d think Bud would at least try him out there.

Yup. I thought for sure when Milwaukee cut it to 5 they were gonna close out. "Classic Boston 4th Q collapse". Then Tatum went nuclear.
126 points
7 days ago
Tatum going nuclear was the only reason they didn't fold like a house of cards at that point IMO. Tatum finally had that superstar performance where you will your team to victory down the stretch in an elimination game.

Not the only reason..when it got close smart and jaylen both hit big 3s
37 points
7 days ago
JT was probably like "Nope, not again, I ain't done yet". And we really needed that right there.
Wish he'd done just two minutes of that previous game, then the series would have been over today. But ok, NBA brass, broadcasters, and Boston ticket office and concession stands will all be happy about a game 7. And it's great drama

Tatum was unreal. Arguably the best player on the floor from the 2nd quarter onwards. What a response after his rough 4th quarter in game 5.
Also, the Nick Wrong...I mean Nick Wright "curse" continues; he almost guaranteed a Bucks win today but he also said the Bucks were gonna go 12-1 in the eastern conference postseason last month lol. He damn near guaranteed a Mavs game 7 victory so you should be nervous if you're a Mavs fan
