Order restored..........the real Warriors showed up last night for 48 minutes, not for 24 like Monday. Clippers will not even come close to winning another game in this series. The Giant is wide awake.....

Well, the Bucks won their first playoff series since 2001 when they were a game away from getting to lose to the Lakers in the Finals. Pretty nice sweep of Detroit after actually being behind in the 3rd quarter only to trounce the Pistons in the 4th.

Next up is Boston, who the Bucks lost to in 7 games last postseason. But the Bucks are much better this season, and the Celtics are a little less good than they were last season. Should be a good series, but this Bucks team is playing lights out right now.

I am a Brad Stevens fan, but I hope the Bucks take them. If that happens, Kyrie will through a fit, blame the coach(undeservedly so), and demand a trade. 😛

A heavy heart tonite at the news of the passing of John Havlicesk
Jarrin' John -- the guy was nothing but tops -- he could run all day
little piece of youth cut away with this sad news
RIP Hondo -- keep on running

I'm in shock right now is about all I can say. Give the Clippers some credit they are sure showing something to the world especially Lou Williams. Warriors had an off shooting night and they are vulnerable when that happens. But we are still up 3-2. I'll be glued to the tube tonight and I think Warriors will seal the deal. Sure don't need no game 7.

RIP JOHN HAVLICEK. That guy could run and run and run.........old enough here to remember him well as a kid in LA.......and watched him frustrate the Lakers way too many times.

John Havlicek. The game was better when he played. He was tireless out there. One of the greatest of all time. He was part of two different periods of Celtic championships. I think he won championships in 7 out of his first 8 years.
After Bird, Hondo is my second favorite basketball player of all time.
RIP

Kevin Durant goes off for 50.........pesky Clippers are gone. Loved the post game press conference with Patrick Beverly and Lou Williams of LA. " Is there anything you wish you could have done to stop Kevin Durant?" Beverly: "What do YOU think? Did YOU ever play basketball? I'm serious. He's Kevin Durant."
Oh My God that gave me a chuckle. What a stupid question!

In my opinion the NBA Finals start tomorrow, Golden State vs Houston.

That 1st half by KD was just short of unreal! Course if Sweet Lou could have hit a shot that would have helped.

That Rockets series should be epic. But I am very excited about the Celts and Bucks as well. Toronto and Philly should be a great series as well.

Not sure if I already stated, through my infinite wisdom and sports expertise, I knew in the first round it will be a Blazers/Bucks Finals!...........Peace. ........joe

I like Portland, not sure they can take GS or Houston though. And in the East, Milwaukee is going to have to show me a LOT more than they did today............Boston was dominant in every phase of the game. Bucks could really be in trouble based on today. If it was a 2 point loss, that's one thing............it was an embarrassment.

Celtics looked very good yesterday. I think this might be the team we thought they would be. Time will tell.
on another note, Hubie Brown is very good.

I'd chalk it up to the Bucks being soft in Game 1 after knocking around an 8 seed. Bucks looked great last night. I imagine the rest of the games will be closer than the first 2.

We'll see which Celtic team show's up tonight. They need something from Tatum and Haywood.
Go Celt's!

Bucks will bring it on the road. Irving disappeared in Game 2, that likely won't happen at home. Brogdon is out for Milwaukee but Middleton is turning it on. Should be a good game!

Disappointing loss for the Celtics last night. I thought for sure last night would be a win. No answer for Giannis though. Irving went 8 for 22 from the field. Not going to win that way. Need more from Haywood. Game four at home , it's now or never for this year's Celtics.

Bucks pulled ahead nicely down the stretch. Nice win on the road for them, hope they keep rolling.

How about the Blazers-Nugs 4OT game? Are they trying to remind us all that they are still playing?

hope someone beats the Celtics. Otherwise its possible Boston could hold all 4 championships at 1 time which would be quite impressive but not wanted!!!! Bruins have to have as good a chance as any in a crapshoot NHL playoffs.

Marcus Smart is available to play tonite -- envision a return to Mil 2-2, let's go Celts

The Bucks handled the Celtics easily last night. They still have to win that fourth game though.
Kyrie Irving, the Celtics best player, isn't as good as he thinks he is. Great players don't have three games in a row of terrible shooting like he has. A reporter asked him about his shooting, and he said he should be taking more shots. He don't get it. Not a team player.
I'm still holding out some hope.
Go Celts.

Hell yeah, Bucks are a game away from closing out the Celtics. Irving has been pretty terrible the past three games. Nice series by the Bucks thus far after that gut check of a Game 1.

Kyrie has been a joke. His post game presser last night was something to behold in its cluelessness. Over 50 years as a Celtics fan and I don't think I have ever been close to this frustrated with an individual player.

I mean I am almost embarrassed for him.

Like most teams we have no answer for Giannis & beyond him, they're more varied & deeper than we are, even w/out that Brogdon kid --
but Giannis makes defending Mil a Very unenviable task & yes, they're keying on Kyrie at the other end -- would like to see less settling up for 3's & more touches/getting it inside, but they're forcing us into that mode w/superb play

as was said There's One More To Play -- not impossible but Highly improbable against this super Bucks team -- let's go Celts

I am really interested to see what team in their right mind is going to give Kyrie Irving the big bucks after a piss-poor performance like that?? Man, he stunk up the gym. Superstars come up big when it matters............hey, everybody has a bad game now and then. But FOUR bad games in a row??

What bothered me even more about the Celtics was the end of tonight's game. There were 7 minutes left, Boston was down by 20. It was obvious that the Celtics had GIVEN UP. Their body language and lack of effort said it all. Really makes me frown on the pro game in general for guys to have that attitude considering the $$$$ they are making. AN NBA GAME IS NOT OVER WITH 7 MINUTES LEFT AND A 20 POINT LEAD. Not if you give a sh*t anyway. It sure looked like none of the Celtics did.

It also makes me wonder if Brad Stephens is the coach that he's been made out to be. He sure doesn't appear to me to be much of a motivator.

Then again, give Milwaukee some credit here too. Boston had NO answer for The Greek Freak.........he was just incredible. I sure wouldn't want to be on the MVP voting panel and have to decide between Harden and Antetekoupo.

The Bucks were the superior team. Kyrie Irving has played his last game as a Celtic, I hope. The Celtics are actually better without him, IMO. It's too bad, because he has talent, and he could have been a big deal around here. He's just a jerk, and a terrible teammate. Good luck to whoever signs him, you ain't winning anything.
I will root for the team that comes out of the East, unless it's the 76ers.

Great series for the Bucks, stoked they are moving on. The Celtics just didn't have it this season, never looked half as good as they did last year. Most of the season has been leading up to Raptors-Bucks conference finals, should be a much closer series.
