Celtics shooting finally fell back to earth and the Bucks started using Giannis as a screener more. But a 25 point hole is likely too much to make up against this defense unless you can force turnovers and the Celtics remain cold in the 4th – 8:57 PM

I’m not sure if the Celtics just thought coming out for the second half was enough, but they’ve got to get back to actually running offense. And pushing pace would help too.

Three fouls on Derrick White. No other Celtic has more than one.
Two fouls on Brook Lopez. No other Buck has more than one. No fouls on Giannis Antetokounmpo. I expect him to be very aggressive in the second half. – 8:13 PM

The Bucks scored 47 points either in transition or on second chances in Game 1. They have three in the first half tonight. Turns out it helps when you make every shot and grab every rebound. – 8:13 PM

Prediction sure to go wrong (so don’t bet on it!):
Derrick White has his best game as a Celtic. Payton Pritchard scores a bunch and Boston evens the series.
If the Celtics are who we think they are, they should be able to salvage a split at home, especially w/o Middleton going. – 6:34 PM

More Payton Pritchard minutes probably isn’t a bad thing, especially if the Celtics can keep him out of mismatches on defense.
He should shoot better than in Game 1 and that would be huge for Boston’s offense. – 5:21 PM

In theory, this is a big part of why Boston traded for Derrick White. Because of how he plays, Marcus Smart is always going to be dealing with some form of injury. This one just hits at a particularly bad time. But, again, this is why you have White: to pick up that slack. – 5:11 PM

Something to keep an eye on with Marcus Smart out:

@JaredWeissNBA
Ime Udoka wanted his team to not force so many 3s because the Bucks are a load up and rotate defense, so they will be able to find those looks when they keep working the possession. Said they needed to not play in a crowd as much against this defense and take the extra dribble. – 1:13 PM

Ime Udoka on the Celtics offense: “At times it felt like guys were trying to do it on their own attacking their shot-blockers, when we know this is a heavy rotation team.”
Udoka also said the Bucks did a good job loading up on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown and forcing them left. – 1:11 PM

After the parade, Giannis Antetokounmpo wanted me to remind folks he can pass. He roasted me in January for comparing his passes to Jokic.
Sunday’s Game 1 should remove all doubts. Antetokounmpo can pass.
