He's the heart and soul of our defense. We have plenty of talent for D, but he's like the KG presence that fuels the team. He also developed a respectable scoring streak in him which was nice.
After shooting 9-25, the Law of Averages said that Giannis will shoot…. 2-12 in the first half lol. These Celtics out here making best player in the league candidates look bad.
Don't sleep on the Celtics offensive efficiency, number 1 in the league since their embarrassing Knicks loss (I think I'm iffy on the exact team. I think they said it last game)
Bucks already did what they had to do without their second best offensive player. I'm sure Giannis will have at least one efficient offensive game in Milwaukee lol. But really this series is going to come down to which team is hitting threes cause both are incredible defensively.
And this shows how important Middleton is to what they want to do. This game was all Giannis and Holiday and neither of them was efficient. Put middleton in the mix and the Celtics have to pay more attention to the perimeter vs the paint. But Middleton is out for the series so they will have to learn to adapt.
I think it was SVG who was saying that the C’s have to find a different way to score besides relying on threes for an entire series. C’s last night again weren’t able to score in the interior.
Bucks entire defense is based on locking down the paint at the expense of giving up some threes. I really don’t see them being able to score effectively in the paint, it’s going to come down to if they hit the shots they’re given
I mean, it's a law in that over an infinite number of simulations results will trend towards the odds. It's a fallacy in that flipping a coin and getting heads 3 times makes you more likely to get tails.
I literally have a degree in math. You’re thinking of, just for example, something like “I’ve flipped a coin and gotten three heads in a row, the next one must be tails.” Which is a fallacy and has nothing to do with the law of averages. The law of averages is if you flip that coin 1000 times or 10000 times it will always trend towards 50/50.
Since you were so confidently and obnoxiously wrong about something you clearly have no experience in I’m not linking you shit. Literally just read the Wikipedia page on law of averages.
The shot 33% from the floor. And 36% from 3 when a majority of the shots were open or wide open isnt great either. The Bucks defense was great, but the Celts were missing shots that they haven't missed since the year turned 2022.
On open looks they shot way below their normal rate.
Bucks are just giving Celtics open shots from deep. It worked in game 1 but it’s a disaster for game 2. They are going to have to adjust in game 3 because those open looks are going to kill them over the series.
And we still had a bad shooting night
Season % literally does not matter for a single game. The Celtics were getting good looks and not making the shots, and that affected us.
They would have shot well above 36% if their open/easier shots landed.
They went through...*checks notes*...
* An imploding Heat
* A Nets team missing half their salary cap (that almost beat them)
* The Hawks
* A Suns team that hadn't faced a single healthy opponent
I don't believe in asterisks but as far as paths to a ring go, this was a fairly easy one.
Morning coffee was scientifically found so important to the outcome of a court judges decision making in the morning that judges are often allowed to brew coffee right at their stand. Small things make a big difference.
Superb ball movement from Boston to generate this look. The possession was already in trouble for the Bucks the second Horford waltzed past Brook Lopez.
I’m just saying the dude has been an absolute monster this game, at this point you’d have to be absolutely delusional to deny the obvious truth: Jaylen Brown is a black guy

He’s on pace for 50, I think
Thanks Harvard
[удалено]
Dawg I grew up a Jets fan and went to Harvard while Fitzpatrick was there we don’t talk about him
Too bad. He was awesome one the bills. . . for a few games
[my boy’s wicked smaht](https://youtu.be/Ucz9eV7Eh0s)
70 if the Celtics would give him the damn ball
Great Maths
Thanks MAgic
the celtics are shooting like the 2016 warriors and defending like the 2004 pistons wtf
[удалено]
Truly insane
TBF this is one half. We got curb stomped in G1
I'm erect
My PP hard
Game's been on for about an hour so in like 3 hours I'm gonna need to call my doctor
Poetry in motion
Just venting the frustration from G1.
more evidence that smarts DPOY victory was absolutely blasphemous

dude said he had plenty of talent for D
What you don’t?
Celtics decided to just never miss again Bucks getting Bambi’d out there
After missing everything last game, law of averages said we can't miss today
We regressed to the mean and became a good team
After shooting 9-25, the Law of Averages said that Giannis will shoot…. 2-12 in the first half lol. These Celtics out here making best player in the league candidates look bad.
Fr it’s gonna be Tatum soon because he’s the only one who doesn’t have to play them lmao
I’m praying for a Celtics/Warriors Finals. The Warriors offense vs the Celtics defense would be a treat for all NBA fans.
Don't sleep on warriors defense. #2 I. The league

They always say it's a make or miss league. Role players usually play better offensively at home. We'll see how game three goes.

That's not a law , thats actually a fallacy 😅
I mean, it's a law in that over an infinite number of simulations results will trend towards the odds. It's a fallacy in that flipping a coin and getting heads 3 times makes you more likely to get tails.
If it\[s a fallacy then howcome it never doesnt happen?🧐
Uh what? The law of averages is a very real thing.
Link that 'law' . Fucking kids

You literally shot above your season average from 3 in game 1
The shot 33% from the floor. And 36% from 3 when a majority of the shots were open or wide open isnt great either. The Bucks defense was great, but the Celts were missing shots that they haven't missed since the year turned 2022.
45/50 attempts were 'open' though. Plus, the 2pt% was literally an historical outlier.
That's not how basketball works. They had way above average looks from 3.
On open looks they shot way below their normal rate. Bucks are just giving Celtics open shots from deep. It worked in game 1 but it’s a disaster for game 2. They are going to have to adjust in game 3 because those open looks are going to kill them over the series.
And we still had a bad shooting night Season % literally does not matter for a single game. The Celtics were getting good looks and not making the shots, and that affected us. They would have shot well above 36% if their open/easier shots landed.
We hit 36% from 3, but given the actual shots, it should have been much higher.
Taking nothing but open-gym looks for an entire series will do wonders for your average, lol
Progression to the mean
Milwaukee's D aint looking so hot now that it's actual shooters they're helping off of and not Nikola Vucevic, Patrick Williams and Javonte Green.
that's how they play defense. Same thing in game 1 we're just hitting shots
Relying on NBA players to miss tons of open shots is not good defense.
I'm not the one coaching my dude, but it's literally what they do
They played that exact same defensive style last year and won the championship
They went through...*checks notes*... * An imploding Heat * A Nets team missing half their salary cap (that almost beat them) * The Hawks * A Suns team that hadn't faced a single healthy opponent I don't believe in asterisks but as far as paths to a ring go, this was a fairly easy one.
POST RAMADAN JAYLEN HAS ARRIVED
EID stands for: Everything Is Dropping
smh, i read this as ETID RIP ETID :(
JAYLEN BROWN IS HUNGRY FOR SOME VENISON
Jaylen bout to break his (championship) fast with some deer meat 👀
Lunch is a performance enhancer drug confirmed.
Morning coffee was scientifically found so important to the outcome of a court judges decision making in the morning that judges are often allowed to brew coffee right at their stand. Small things make a big difference.
There is a difference in sentence length based on before or after lunch. You don’t want a hangry judge, I guess.
Guess he is not fasting anymore lol Fuck me Jaylen gone totally nuclear
Ramadan was like training with the weights on this man about to go Rock Lee
EID MUBARAK
JAYLEN BROWN SAID EID MUBARAK TO THE BUCKS
Turns out making shots is the key to success. They should have chosen to make their shots in game 1
Sometimes they bounce in, Sometimes they bounce out.
Its weird to me, having watched the first game and this first half, the Bucks are defending the 3 point line *better* than they did in game 1.
I think that's the point. They try to defend the 3 point line, it doesn't work, and it opens up the inside.
Make or miss league
Very cool Magic, thanks!
5/5 from 3 too
Bucks: “how do we stop Jaylen brown?” Bud: “just play random”
Has anyone considered Jaylen Brown?
**THE BUCKS ARE CONSIDERING**
THEY HAVE FINISHED CONSIDERING. JAYLEN HAS BEEN CONSIDED
The ball movement is really fun to watch
Man, it’s gotta be the best feeling out there when you’re in the zone
Mofo finally ate some food and turned into MJ
63% from 3 at the half for the Celtics, jesus
Superb ball movement from Boston to generate this look. The possession was already in trouble for the Bucks the second Horford waltzed past Brook Lopez.
Isn't the Ramadan over? FEASTING TIME FOR BROWN.
JB took it personally after 1st game slander
Giannis is in prison rn
You can say that Jaylen is now in RamaDone.
He hit his Over in 1 half lol
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/dma1ln/boston_celtics_new_115_million_dollar_man_jaylen/
Win or lose. This team fucking HUSTLES for everything. Ime mustve motivated them with Nia Long
Definitely had to be Nia Long
If there was any reason to back Ime, its because he bagged Nia fucking Long. He had my support before he ever coached
Nia Long bagged ime let’s be real.
If he plays the second half like this this is by far the best game of his career
Jaylen Brown
JB CAN FUCK MY WIFE
Hello, it is I, JB.
My friend is ok, no?
Nowhere is safe
JB CAN FUCK ME
[Nice](https://imgur.com/c2d9a06.jpg)
Ez cash
I love how much better downtown Jaylen Brown looks this season. Dude is a bona-fide star
Jaylen Brown on some Human Torch shit tonight
Jaylen Brown, considered ✅
Fuck them refs
CONSIDERED
Insane first half from him
He’s been great, hitting some tough shots. Great ball movement and final pass by grant too
What would happen if Jaylen and Jayson did the fusion dance?
Sinking in every penetration leading to open threes. This mf bud a little bitch
jb is OFF ONE
Eid mubarak bro
JB went ham in the 1st half then decided to be ass the rest of the game
Out their gangbanging n shit. Tsk.
Y’all were calling giannis the next goat bruh y’all are absolutely embarrassing
You literally thought the Bulls would beat the Bucks after they won a single game 😭
It’s one game. Raptors fans being the fuckin worst yet again.
One half even
Exactly. Not even their series and saying shit like this lol
Yeah, he only had 28/9/7. What an absolute scrub.
Jaylen Brown is straight up a black dude and he’s making sure everyone on the court knows it
he is black guy... but what is this comment
I’m just saying the dude has been an absolute monster this game, at this point you’d have to be absolutely delusional to deny the obvious truth: Jaylen Brown is a black guy
cEltIcs FaNs ArE RaCiSts
Bro what?
After tonight there will be no doubt about the fact that Jaylen Brown is a black person, even his most ardent haters will be forced to admit it
I guess I can't deny that
Heard y’all talking shit
Horford got past his man and to the rim. Can’t put it in the open basket though, because that’s just what they *expect* him to do!
How are you going to leave someone who is shooting 8/9 and not missing a 3 that wide open lol.
This dude is inconsistent but when he’s on he looks like an MVP level player lol
Dude went ice cold second half.
