A40:
I understand Gobert's handles are dodgy. I pointed it out as well. I'm just saying that they have to find ways to incorporate him to the offense somehow. Otherwise it's no point playing him. I don't see why Gobert and Mitchell cannot have a PnR game running at all

Personally, the Jazz needs to get someone in their development program who can work with Gorbert on just his PnR action, both as an effective roller and also making him at least comfortable with the ball in his hands within 5ft of the rim.
If he can just be even 50% when he has the ball with his feet on the ground within 5ft and they solve the wing defense they might just be able to keep both of their 2 stars.

Marcus Smart will wound himself with all this floppin

FINALLY REFS! FINALLY!!!

Come on now, that was a goaltend

Horford has Giannis in jail

These Celtics players look beat up

Giannis with 4 fouls. This will be the only way the Celtics win this game.

Omo, the Celtics don jam length

Our 1-2 punch have to show up for us to stand any chance, they have been poor offensively. We have been very poor defending the 3 ball, missing important rotations and switches.

Allen and Lopez flopping around looking for fouls

Brown is having a night to forget

I hate our offense.. Horrible...

He's not been good all playoffs. Just got away with Kyrie and KD playing worse

wow. Milwaukee winning without Middleton. Interesting

Pritchard thinks he Kobe

The Bucks have just been more patient on offense. They are actually taking the time to set up their play sets.

The best player in the world doing best player in the world things

Jayson getting clamped as he did to KD. . The beauty of the NBA.

Assinn

Giannis showing there are levels to this. Told you niggas since 18/19

I hate when role players shoot their teams out of games

The Smart injury is not going away, or is it me that is reading too much on the way he is his moving

One thing I like about Coach Bud, as soon as the game looks to be out of reach he immediately yanks off Giannis. Not playing with any stupid injury in stupid minutes

A very disappointing performance. You got it out of your body, now focus and move on to game 2.
#Greenrunsdeep

The body language and bumps and bruises I saw the Celtics take. If I'm Bucks I'm coming out to steal Game 2 as well. Smart, Brown, Tatum all looked like they were facing more than they bargained for

Giannis is a beast sha....

@Roland17 and @A40.....Will 'hack the Shaq' rule work on Giannis?

IMHO...I don't think the Celtics can win this series without Smart...

You read my mind..

His FTs have improved but YES, in my opinion I thought Ime could have employed it, especially since we were playing at home and if he makes a good number, then you move away from it. It could have slowed the Bucks offense, disrupted their offensive rhythm and cut down the number of 3s they made in transition after defensive rebounds.

He made his first 4 though, so maybe that's why he canceled that tactic.

Naaaa. The "Hack a Shaq" was never employed by Ime. All his FTs were not "Hack a Shaq" fouls, they were fouls that occurred when he was trying to score. He made the first 4 but finished 6-11.

Good to see Z-Bo in the house..

I am not saying he employed it. I said maybe after he made his first 4 Ime decided that today might be one of those days Giannis makes a large percentage of his FTs. So he decided not to use it
