There are mismatches for both teams.
Bucks- On defense, who does Brook guard? If he takes Porzingis, who stands by the three point line, it negates why Lopez is in the game. And he can't guard anyone else on the floor.
Celtics- who guards Giannis- last time it was Jrue. How do the Bucks exploit that or does Jrue flop two or three times and get Giannis in foul trouble.
I want to see Doc earn his money.
It's Jrue not Smart now.. Jrue isn't a flopper. It's not who he is.
Hate to break it to you man but Jrue’s kinda turned into a flopper this year
Can I blame Boston for this?

Surprised the NBA didn't lean on the Bucks to play him given it's a primetime game and all.

The record for 3PAs in an NBA game, both teams, is 106. If Giannis is out, that could fall tonight.
The Celtics love jacking the trey
It's easy to go bombs away
Their record's misleading
But they've got the seeding
And the Bucks shoot it too, so OK
Watching games with three after three up and down the court reminds me of watching speed golf. It's fun to watch for a while, but eventually you feel like something isn't quite right.

He really needed this time off so I’m glad he’s getting it, but that sucks.

Not that it would have meant anything beyond a couple weeks worth of bragging rights, but what a buzzkill. Just stomp them when we see them at home next month, I guess.

Come to think of it, can any of us say we've ever seen them in the same room together? Wait, could Khris be...?

Giannis doesn't willingly sit out ever. It has to be bothering him quite a bit. He's likely out tomorrow night too. Hopefully back Sunday.

I mentioned previously how the key to the Celtics is their three point shooting. I just saw this on the Celtics board:
"When Celtics take less than 44% of their shots from 3: 14-9 (60.87%)
When Celtics take at least 44% of their shots from 3: 40-5 (88.89%)
No other team in the NBA takes 44%+ of their shots from 3 as season average ".
Guarding the three is the key to beating the Celtics. I hate the way the game has changed.

too many good shooters.
widen the court, move the 3 point line back. only way this changes.

No Giannis is like binging a fife to a gum fight.

Without Giannis, they're going to get destroyed.
