Americans?Is it just me or does Basketball fans have the most smug faces and celebrations than other sports?
Find it so funny that they can have such confident celebrations not knowing how it will end.
NBA 2021-2022
- Thread starter elmo
- Start date
Ah how could I miss the most obvious answer
Don't know why anyone would want the Bucks to advance, unless you particularly didn't like the Celtics. They're the defending champs, and honestly they don't play entertaining basketball at all. Just a bunch of 12ft dudes trying to physically bully their way through.
Bucks getting absolutely nothing from anyone outside the top 3
I love Celtics fans they get so emotional ..
Well there’s loads of reasons. They have one of the most likeable superstar in the history of the league. They are also short handed in this series . They are playing against a team that has one of the worst fan bases in sport
And absolutely nothing from three.
Absolutely ridiculous to call this a shooting foul. Big turning point.
Giannis has taken 10 shots and holiday has also taken 10 shots . This can’t work for the Bucks. Giannis has to take like 25 shots in the second half
Joke of a call to end the half. Poor Giannis
What about Giannis’ offensive foul at the start? Bucks getting their fair share.
In the absence of Middleton Bucks needed Holiday to step up and apart from the odd good quarter he has done nothing on offence. Just running into congested lanes
3 from 19. I guess they can have some optimism being just 5 points behind with that shooting.
Baffling call.
It wasn't a clear shooting foul, but it was a terrible foul as Giannis didn't have to reach in after he lost the ball. Just let Smart take a heave from inside his own half.
Is this game 7 just good ol’ EuroLeague Aris - Cibona, right?
I mean I really like Giannis too but not so much that I want to see the Bucks win back to back chips. As I said, unless you have a particular disdain for Boston (or their fans), the Bucks advancing would be so meh.
The winner of this series is the favorite to win the whole thing, surely.
Never a foul
Tatum is out here moving like he's Fabregas. So good.
These Celtics ain't missing anything right now....
Can’t see Bucks coming back here.
Unwatchable basketball on show. Just people smashing into each other and refs doing what they want.
Yeah, these last 15 minutes will take 2 hours at this pace.
Bucks are done. They lost it by not managing to win a game at home in which Giannis scored 46
16 points lead now. Are Celtics gonna give it away again?
I'm genuinely not sure why some of this stuff is being called.... but I guess the Celtics are still owed one for the robbery of 2010... but at the expense of Giannis ain't cool, but whatever.
But one teams shooting unreal in the 3rd so far, one isn't is the big point here.

Never count out the Bucks. Nothing is falling for them at the moment though.
You can’t win a playoffs game shooting 16% from three.
Been searching for a side to support for a long while and chose Celtics a while back after loving how Tatum plays. Didn't think I'd get so emotionally invested so quickly though.
Always enjoyed watching Giannis before, and now I'm fully hating on him

Oh wait, they called travelling in Giannis. He does like 10 per game but somehow avoids getting called for that.
Bucks sorely missing Middleton for moments like these. Can play a two man perimeter game or just handle the ball in the half court, get his own shot, or facilitate.
Bucks aren't done, but they'll need outside shooting and close down and defend better to feed their offensive transitions.

Not only they are shooting bad from 3pts, Celtics also managed to stop Giannis. Bucks are done.
I can't understand why the Bucks continue to throw it up from 3. Have the most dominant player in the league and continue to do the same shit.
Grant Williams is having his Jeff Green random lights out shooting performance. Credit to him for persisting and knocking them down in rhythm.
Giannis is getting physically matched by Boston and isn't as strong at the bucket as he usually is. Meanwhile, Cs are continuing to knock down from range. Fun game 7.

He can't do much either. Runs into the wall every time in this 2nd half.
Giannis is tired and is also being called for travel. Bucks are done.
Boston have been so, so impressive this post season.
Giannis has missed a lot of open layups today.
In a match up between Tatum and Giannis, Grant Williams has been the match winner.

Yeh in fairness, this half he's not had much success.
One of my mates is a Chelsea and a Bucks fan. What a tragic weekend for him
Celtics are seemingly quite happy to leave 3 of the Bucks that aren't Giannis and Jrue reasonably open every single time - it's quite staggering, really missing Middleton and well, a general lack of talent in the depth never helps.
Always be a great achievement that they won it with this team to be fair, Giannis is a fecking immense player, even if he's missed a few straight forward ones today.
