Game 69: Bucks at Celtics - 3/20/24 - 6:30 - ESPN/OTA - Giannis, Jrue out

Win and we're back baby. Lose and the season is over, blow it up, Dame visiting friends in Chicago is why we lost.

In reality it's somewhere in between. Of course a win would be nice but the season doesn't hang in the balance. Boston is very good, especially at home.

Giannis is listed as questionable. He participated in the short practice this morning before the team traveled. Khris is expected to play. This is the first of a B2B, he probably sits Thursday against the Nets.

Jrue, Tatum and Hauser are also questionable. All 3 sat out Monday night (second of a B2B). I'll be surprised if Tatum and Jrue don't play.

Go Bucks

We got smashed in the corresponding game late last season, so whatever happens it'd be good to show up and give them a game.

No scheduling excuses - we need a good game here to show we belong.

If what I've read about Boston (I'm illliterate) is true, I cannot phantom the Bucks winning. None the less, gob Ucks.

This is a classic "coaching" game.

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.

It's an ESPN game. I swear we've saved our worst for them all season. Apart from, coincidentally, the last time we played the Celts.

Setting the over/under at 17.5 times they mention the last game was a Second Game of a back to back for Boston.

Unfortunately looks like no Giannis.

I'll be surprised if they can convince him to sit this one out.

He wouldn't be flying separately. If his hamstring is still bothering him he should sit out. If he sits out but plays Thursday I'll be irked.
