No Hostile Act and NO Foul ... Giannis gets away with another!
Tatum to Theis for the tie.

Tatum gambles for a steal off Giannis and misses ... giannis charges into Smart on the dunk and he s/b gone!
What will the refs think of now?

Smart is a VERY SMART player.

Clearly Marcus was moving under him

Hate to say it but that call by the refs was the game ...

Brown with the +1 ... and chance to cut it to 3.
Need a stop and a three within 40 secs ... Middleton to Giannis kills that.
Say good night Irene.

Bucks just bigger.
Not sure if the Bucks are better, but definitely they're bigger.

This would be a tough match up for us. A GREAT match up, and very fun. But, we still don't really have anyone to contain Giannis. He is the best player in the league right now. Enjoyed the game, but they are bigger at every position. The winner of this series will win the NBA, IMO.

Tatum should have stayed home with his son! He didn't even look like he wanted to play!

I don't think 30 teams in a bubble will work. And since there is no end in sight for the pandemic, I think this season, in the bubble, could be the only NBA season for a while.

Tatum should have stayed home with his son! He didn't even look like he wanted to play! Yeah, the lockdown had a bad effect on Tatum. He's not the same Tatum we saw just a few months ago. Hopefully he'll bounce back. But he only has 2 weeks to do so. Besides, it's the playoffs that matter, not the regular season.

I think the Celts will be fine against other teams.
It's the Bucks and Sixers that are the problem for the Celts.

Every starter except Tatum played well tonight. Smart was the best player on the floor, for the Celtics. Wanamakeralso had a very good game! I can't see playing Kanter over Time Lord, especially against the Bucks!

I just don't see how NBA teams can pay the players their current salaries if there are no fans.
No fans means no ticket sales.
We better enjoy this season in the bubble because maybe this will be the only NBA we'll see for a while.

Just watched the last five minutes of the game on DVR...have not read the game thread...first impression is I gotta say I pretty much dont like watching the NBA...I love my Celtics and they are contenders, but cheese and rice, are you kidding me...Giannis mugs Theis, they blow the whistle and overturn the call...LeQueen take two, bully ball prick propped up by the NBA as the next superstar stays in the game when he should have been fouled out...two minutes later he gets barely touched on a layup (yeah Giannis is a one trick pony) and gets the 'and one'...and yeah, I always say you cant let the refs decide the game, you have to win decisively, so Tatum deserves a lot of blame...what the heck was he, 2 for 20 or something?!?!?! Crap I can shoot better than that...with freaking Smart guarding me...

Haven't the Lakers already been crowned?

Smart calls it like he sees it and prepares to take a fine on the Giannis no-charge call by the refs (NBA) ... and it's only game1 of the restart. Marcus in form as usual ... LOL.
