i think this is the condition for the playoffs gamewhy are the JAYs still in there? 37 & 35 minutes seems like enough
Are you watching him get iso’d on defense as this shifts to a matchup game?i almost never do this but his +/- tonight is 0 and they are down 14
yes. i think he’s been fine.Are you watching him get iso’d on defense as this shifts to a matchup game?
he pulled emi think this is the condition for the playoffs game
Word.Celtics injuries: 0
Bucks injuries: 1
Win in my book.
Completely unserious game.Still no free throws for the Celtics.
The game that actually matters.Maine Celtics are up big anyway
Queta with 20 and 11 in little more than three quarters.Maine Celtics are up big anyway
Woj says he's going to get an MRI.Giannis has a left calf strain.
That is potentially death to the Bucks. Calf strains suck.
Didn’t look like an achilles imo.Calf injuries are not a good thing but better than what some are speculating on X.
Even when they win they lose lately.Woj says he's going to get an MRI.
Keep in mind he’s had achilles tendinitis issues on that same leg this season.Looked like a cramp initially to me, and then pulling against the cramp as he took a step. My guess is he's more or less fine inside of a week.
TNT showed him walking to the locker room and while it was a gingerly gait he was pushing off his injured leg. I’ve witnessed two Achilles injuries w teammates back in the day and neither was able to do anything remotely close to what Giannis did. Who knows though.Uh oh:

Dr. Hillel might be off in his assessment.
It did look like a calf to me, but maybe an achilles strain? Either way, a fully operational Giannis for the playoffs seems unlikely at this point, given all he’s been dealing with and this.TNT showed him walking to the locker room and while it was a gingerly gait he was pushing off his injured leg. I’ve witnessed two Achilles injuries w teammates back in the day and neither was able to do anything remotely close to what Giannis did. Who knows though.
We would have seen his calf contract if this was a cramp and the trainers treating it as a cramp which they did not do. He’d also have been in excruciating pain, much more than a strained calf or even maybe an Achilles until the contraction was rolled out.Looked like a cramp initially to me, and then pulling against the cramp as he took a step.

Yeah, maybe. It's just such a strange way to strain your calf. He was barely jogging.We would have seen his calf contract if this was a cramp and the trainers treating it as a cramp which they did not do.

Dude blocked an impending dunk, into the 5th row. He is *fun* at that level.Queta with 20 and 11 in little more than three quarters.
Doc gave a "I think he'll be fine" statement, with a half-grin, at the start of the 4th quarter. Is this a post-game presser update on that?Uh oh:

Yeah, from the pc.Doc gave a "I think he'll be fine" statement, with a half-grin, at the start of the 4th quarter. Is this a post-game presser update on that?
Doc figured out that it might give him another excuse for when things go south.Yeah, from the pc.
How it started:Yeah, from the pc.
Officials let a ton of contact go at both ends. It was bizarre. Not a great look, IMO.I didn't watch the game last night but saw the headline this morning talking about how the Celtics set a record with zero free throws taken. My immediate thought was...holy cow this had to be the most one-sided officiating game ever, what was going on? Then I saw that Milwaukee only took two free throws, and then my reaction was like...what the heck? How can a real NBA game happen where only TWO free throws total happened? If there was any attempt to play defense at all, and any attempt to try to get to the paint at all, there had to be a bunch of contact at some point in the game, and the refs just swallowed the whistle the whole game, for both teams. Boston was only called for 8 fouls total. Milwaukee just 4.
So I don't have any idea what was going on there. For those of you that watched, were the teams even TRYING? Did it look like an all-star game out there or did it look like real basketball? I see that Boston took 52 three pointers, which seems....a lot. But they also took 41 non-threes, so presumably quite a few in the paint at the rim. And not a single foul at all? If there was zero defense being played, how could Boston have only shot 39% from the floor?
Has to be the strangest game in memory.
it was wierd with so many no calls on legitiimate hacks--which is fine if we are going back to the 80s but someone is going to get hurt. Also I thought the Tilman pick up was good at first but not sure he adds much??What even just happened with the officials, though? What was the point of that? Like, clearly that was a concerted effort, and I don’t know why.
Stupid shit like this just makes the league looked rigged tbh. Not that either team was favored, but that clearly there was a pregame agenda in some capacity.
With the lack of shots of either coach doing much complaining, it almost looked like tacit agreement on both sides to just get it over with. The game was so fast the TNT crew was playing charades between games. Never seen anything like it.Officials let a ton of contact go at both ends. It was bizarre. Not a great look, IMO.
