The bottom line, although Bucks won and lead to a 2-1 advantage, Game 3 is a close game. The Celtics will surely try to bounce back obviously now that they know that even though Giannis is making 40+ points, they are not that behind in the total score.

I think they should focus on limiting the points from Giannis because although the final score was close, Bucks dominated before the final quarter. if they want to win, they have to start strong, and Tatum should make his points as he usually do, he cannot be limited like what happen in game 3.

I wish it's easy for them, in the last 3 games, Giannis production has only improved.
It's still not too late for them, one last push for them and they have to win game 4 if they want to get back in the series.

Game 3 was very close, game could have went to OT but they were just too unlucky, maybe in game 4, they'll improve their offense and their defense as well. Giannis alone cannot carry the team consistently, so Celtics has to work as a team to beat Giannis.

BUCKS HERE GAME 4.

I like how Giannis Antetokounmpo adjusted in their Game 3 series. Just for a recap, even though he is contributing a good production in Game 1 loss and Game 2 win, he is struggling at his offensive phase. But this Game 3, even though his field goal percentage is not his usual, he still managed to produce 42 big points.

However, he attempted 6 3-point field goals in that game and he only made a single one in the rainbow area. He should avoid it if he doesn't feel it or maybe he is finding his stroke that's why he continues attempting to make a 3s even struggling.

The bottom line, although Bucks won and lead to a 2-1 advantage, Game 3 is a close game. The Celtics will surely try to bounce back obviously now that they know that even though Giannis is making 40+ points, they are not that behind in the total score.

Giannis had a big impact on the third game of the series last night. The Greek superstar scored 42 of 103 points of his team and it was a really unbelievable success by him. When it comes to Celtics, Tatum was able to score only 10 points and his shot percentage was very low too. But despite that, it was a big job by them to bring the game to this point. I still see Celtics as they can advance to next round.

I guess who ever wins this series , might end up winning everything right ?

Honestly , I don't know which one to choose but I would like to see Giannis moving forward and defend his title but I also want to see Celtics winning it all after so many years so it's very hard for me to pick a side here.

probably winning the east but I don't think we can underestimate the West as they are full of offensive teams. It could be warriors or Suns, but if Bucks will face the Warriors, they might have a problem as Warriors are shooting from everywhere unlike the Celtics who's stars have some off nights.

Anyway, it's still too early, let the series finish first, Celtics still has a chance to even the series.

As per the NBA futures, the West teams are still the favorite to win the NBA Championship.
The top favorite now is the Suns, follow by the Warriors, so any team that would win in the East as their ECF champion would still be listed as an underdog in the NBA Finals.

Two nights later, Bucks are going to play another home game against Celtics. They won the last game by a gap like two points only. Celtics were great again and their performance so far has been very promising for the rest of the series too. Giannis was there to be the savior of his team by playing insanely well. 42 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists. It was one of his best efforts for sure. Bucks will need him by their side during the whole series to be able to eliminate Celtics that's for sure.

Congratulations to those Milwaukee Bucks bettors. I haven't seen the game because it was around 3 AM in my place. But I can see the stats that Tatum was struggling very well with his offense. And despite that, the Celtics made it close and nearly won the game. This made me more confident that Boston can steal the 4th game in Milwaukee. Up to now, nothing is changing on Khris Middleton's injury status.

Suddenly it's a 1 point game now. now, it's hard to tell who will win, Celtics kinda got their rhythm and Bucks could lose this game. it's a close game and like what I expected, it's going to be an exciting one.
--
score now, 100-99, Celtics lead by 1 point,.. hmmm... Bucks ball, they should not waste this opportunity.
--
Bucks won, that scares the home team a bit, good thing the last shot by the Celtics came before the shot clock expires.

That was close and a wasted opportunity by the Celtics, they have 2 or 3 attempts from the rainbow that could have sealed the win for them but it didn't go through. I have a feeling that game 4 would be a close game again and Bucks might buckle on the defense of the Celtics. This series is becoming very interesting now even with the absence of Middleton, the Bucks have given the Celtics a good fight.

The third game of the series is continuing now in the second half. And there has been a great rivalry between them so far. And Giannis has performed awesome so far as he made a double-double already by 24 pts, 11 reb. Celtics don't seem like they are going to give up easily in their away game. Bucks will need to find a way to win this game in some way. I believe that they will do just that too. It will be a win by a very close gap for Bucks I think. And they will be 2-1 ahead in the series also. I'm just enjoying it a lot now.

A close game so far and the shooting percentage of the Celtics on the 3 point line is not as good as in game 2.
I like the chances of the Bucks here because Giannis is not struggling, he is aggressive and draws the foul, I just hope he won't miss a lot of FT.

Both teams are struggling in the 3 point area.

half time score is 50-46 in favor of the Celtics
here's the 3 point stats.
celtics 3 point percentage - 22%
Bucks 3 point percentage - 17%

Celtics has more FT attempts and more accurate.

They have to improve their defense so the Celtics will not only struggle making points in the paint but also on their outside shooting. Celtics shoot well in game 2 so they won, and Giannis wasn't himself in the 1st half and that was taken advantage by the Celtics.

Game 3, both teams have made their adjustment already, I hope Bucks would use their advantage.

It's hard to really put pressure on defense against Boston Celtics. What Milwaukee Bucks need to do is to improve their offense.

During Game 1 and 2, Giannis is shooting at the worst percentage on the field. He seems to contribute big in the eyes of most people as they just look at the POINTS but if only they will look at the stat sheet, Giannis is horrible at field goal percentage.

That's because of Celtics' Al Horford's defense of him.

Giannis needs to work his way to destroy Horford's defense.

Bucks doing single coverage on Giannis, he was not able to drive the ball on the rim because of the effective defense employed by the Celtics. But I'm sure Bucks will make an adjustment and they will try to make Giannis more effective and we will not anymore see the struggle of Giannis in game 2.

Giannis needs to be more efficient in his next games if they want to win.
Most of his shots are from the paint though he shot 9/25 in Game 1 and 11/27 in Game 2. That's low knowing where Giannis is shooting most of the time and it just shows that the defense of Celtics are very effective. Bucks need to make some adjustments in order for them to defend their home twice.

Horford's defense really is helping the Celtics and maybe lets add some credits to Grant Williams because he is also doing well in defending against Giannis. What the Bucks need to do is to not rely much on Giannis especially in offense and just let him do the rebounds but not to the point where they will not let him shot. Do what the Sixers did in Game 3 where they distributed the points and got the victory. Players such as Portis, Allen and Holiday can step up more to be more effective offensively.

I voted for Boston. I noticed that I just made the poll at a tie.

Now that it is confirmed that Khris Middleton is out in games 3 and 4, it will be very difficult for Giannis and his team to beat the Celtics even in Milwaukee. There is a big difference between Boston Celtics and that Chicago Bulls team. Boston can defend well and Marcus Smart might return in game 3. Giannis teammates better show their a-games offensively and defensively or they will lose these 2 homecourt games.

That's a challenge for them especially now that their playing in their homecourt, I have no doubt on Giannis's skills because he is still hard to stop even for Tatum and Smart alone but for the rest of them team they also need to step up and help Giannis achieve a dominant win on the following 2 games because if they can't then it's already over, Celtics will gain move to the Semis.

They won the game 1 by team efforts, it's not just Giannis but the whole Bucks Now that they are going to play in front of those fans who believing them, they need to work it out even without Middleton, else, Boston may snatch this home court advantage and beat them in these series.

Everyone needs to work on one goal, that's to win this game and protect the home court advantage that they have right now.

Bucks needs to adjust and make sure to also give tough defense for Boston.
