Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series.

[Maslate]

Great start by the Bucks so far, end of 1st quarter, 28-26 is the score.
Though it's already a physical game but they were still able to achieve a high scoring game (so far).

Though on the road, Bucks are still competing well unlike in the West where the home teams dominate all the time. (except for the Memphis vs Warriors series).

[harizen]

The Boston Celtics are slowly gaining the lead. 47-38 Celtics as of I'm typing this.

Odds for the Milwaukee Bucks are now boosting to around @2.8 - @3. Handicap though still the same.

Damn, I was tempted. If I will observe more, I might didn't get that good odds. Better to decide right now and face the risk and consequences lol.

Bucks won 110-107, so the series is now on the Bucks favor 3-2.

Boston though has led almost the whole game but they have a melted in the last 3-4 minutes. And it looks like the Bucks are going to finished this series out at their home court the next game. It's going to be crazy at Fiserv and I'm expecting that Giannis will put another monster game, maybe another 40 point performance to advance.

Marcus Smart shouldn't have sit down after that Block from Holiday and he even let that one to be stolen too from him once again. They should have let Tatum get the ball since he was the one that keeping them the leading. They let the Bucks to get the best of them especially on defense and they are nailed in the 90+ zone tbh.

Bolton Celtics is so lazy to recover those lose balls and instead he just hit the ball to get it outside. For me those last rebound during the Giannis missed free throw could be the game changer if they get it. They are always beaten by Bucks when the end game is crucial close game fight. Giannis is unstoppable to get points on those last final minutes but he can't still manage to perfect his free throw though. Bucks is just lucky to have a very strong rebound capability.

The Al Horford follow up dunk was the momentum shifter they need and that's when they got the high morale considering this 35 years old was still doing those kind of stuffs at his age. I guess lazy is the right word to be honest, Williams was a great defender for Giannis but he can't contain it either, they should learn a lesson to who can stop Giannis now, they are in their homecourt the next time and it's different thing, Bucks will surely dominate them.

Yeah mate. I notice too how Marcus Smart messed up play by play that result to a lot of turnover during crucial times. No offense to him but he is the one destroying the effort of Al Horford and Jayson Tatum to carry Boston against on fire Bucks. They should improve there game during crucial times. There defense and offense is very weak during last minutes with tight score. Only Giannis is very good when time like this that's why Bucks always win when it comes to this kind of late game match.

That was a pretty amazing play against him that resulted in his being blocked and then having the ball thrown off of him.  Holiday showed that he's an elite defender down the stretch, also coming up with a steal to end the game.  That play where he blocked Smart though, dribbled, then threw it off of him out of bounds to get the ball back was in my opinion the best play of the game.  It's also likely the game could've gone the other way if that play turned out differently.  I don't think you can blame Smart for that though, just give Holiday his props for being an amazing defender.  Gotta give it to Al Horford though, he definitely has been playing his ass off the last two games.

That was actually a sure Celtic rebound If Smart did not interrupt as Brown would've the ball. IMO, It was all Marcus Smart who messed up big time down the stretch though the whole team is to blame for the loss.
It could've been Marcus Smart as they key to win that game as well, If he didn't forced that 2nd to the last possession blocked lay-up. He lacks of focused that he couldn't anticipate an open teammates when 2 or more players come to defend him. Just like what happened in their last possession, Tatum was all open the moment he received the inbound, but he didn't see that.

They could've own the game because Holiday and Portis keeps on missing their shots even a close lay-up, Horford and Tatum makes a tight defense but the game changed because of Marcus Smart's mistake when he lost his handle. He should have just give the ball to Horford or Tatum but he forced to attack the paint.

That was a crazy game, better luck next game.

Watched the final moments in Youtube and the Celtics could've win it if they didn't made any mistakes in the final minutes of the game.
They are leading 6 with 2 mins remaining and Bucks made a 11-2 run to end the game and steal one on the road again.

Those 2 final possessions of the Celtics are the reason they lost. The execution is poor. Or maybe we can say that Holiday is the reason why they won because of his insane block and insane steal against Smart in those final 2 possessions. Whatever it is, the Bucks got the win and they have a chance to seal the deal on their home.

Now with the Celtics down 3-2 and Game 6 is at Bucks homecourt, they are in the brink of getting eliminated. The team who most of us are predicting to advance into the ECF might get eliminated.

Bucks gave them the dose of their own medicine. What happened in game 4 was exactly the same of what happened in game 5. Now that Bucks are leading already, I think they have a huge chance of winning the series, take note, Giannis is still unstoppable.

[Questat]

The Celtics is indeed interesting to watch each game because they have that capacity to dominate even the heavy teams in the league right now and make them struggle, even if they are defeated, they will surely bounce back in the next game and correct the mistakes they did to have a must win as they cannot afford to lose a straight 2 games.

Now that they are back in Boston, the Celtics now have a higher hand when it comes to advantages while the Bucks are still undermanned. Last game, Al Horford and Jayson Tatum exploded while stating that they are not easy to defeat despite being the underdog.

I completely agree.

However, I just think that the Bucks have way more experience and will likely outlast the Celtics when it comes to a 7-game series.

Yes, they have a lot of talent and will be scary for years to come etc. but I think that Giannis will just be too much for them to overcome despite all the advantages that they may have. Giannis is just on a different level.

Celtics needs someone to have a very good game in order for them to win, just like in game 4, Horford made a playoff career high, so the Celtics won. However, if they would struggle, it will be the Bucks who will win because Giannis showed consistency in every game and he can carry his team to a win.

I beg to differ, they don't need someone because their current line up is already lethal. They just need enough exposure to learn from their past mistakes. Al Horford made a statement last time that Giannis shouldn't have to do that, I'm sure Giannis regretted it because he was the reason why the Celtics center have gone berserk. The Bucks should be careful on how to do their game because the Celtics does really have a capacity to dominate other teams.

Al Horford was huge in game 4 but he was only limited in game 5 with 8 points, that's a big dropped of contribution compared to his last game's performance. once again, Ginnis showed his dominance, he scored 40 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, but the hero of this game was Holiday, he had some clutch offense and defense on the dying seconds of the game.

That is where the experience pays off the most when it comes to crucial last minute game, almost all of them missed their shots including the Bucks. They are handed with many chances but they repeatedly blow it off especially that part when Giannis missed his free throw and on the last minute, Marcus Smart forced his way despite seeing Brown vacant.

It was smart trying to be smart in that game, but he wasn't actually smart and it cost the Celtics one game, a game that they have to win in order for them to take the lead. Now, the advantage is back on the Bucks as they can finish the series on their home court and be back in the ECF once again.

[CLS63]

In the last minutes of the 5th game of the series, the Bucks managed to beat their rival Celtics, with a 14-point comeback. Holiday's defense was excellent, especially on the last ball of the match. Thus, the Bucks had the chance to end the series in their own court by taking a 3-2 lead. The Celtics were practically absent in the last quarter of the game. My title contender was the Celtics, but I'm not so sure if they can come back from here.

It was all his mistake in the crucial seconds of the game.

1st - he was blocked by Holiday
2nd - ball was stolen by Holiday.

That sequence made the Celtics loss the game, their effort are gone because they need to win 2 games to be the winner of the series, and it's tough because game 6 is on the Bucks home court.

Marcus should have realized already that he is been watched at all times because he will always get some ball even if he will pass it eventually, his mistakes was he was forcing to attack the paint even he knew that the chances that he cannot make it. Also, that time Al Horford and Jayson Tatum was open or rather vacant to receive a ball.

Yes, they might get eliminated on the next game on Milwaukee's ground.

[TravelMug]

This is going to be the biggest game for the Celtics, they could have the lead right now, if not for those crucial mistakes that allow the Bucks to get the win and be up 3-2.

As what Jaylen Brown said, "they gave it away".

So that defeat was frustrating for them, now they have to be in the road in a must win situation. It will really be on the shoulders of Jayson Tatum now.

Yup, two important possession in the last minute have been gone to waste because of Marcus Smart. Nobody knows what's going on in the locker room after they lost that important game, now they are in a dangerous position as the Bucks only needs one game to win in-order to advance in the Semis. That game was so tight and crazy but the Bucks made it.
