They could have rested their main dudes last night and play them in a far more important game against a team trying to catch them in the standings. But other than that, no.

I get the psychological edge of beating a potential ECF opponent and the tiebreaker, but you gotta take the easy wins when you can IMO

Especially since Indiana got up to beat us in Milwaukee not long ago, the Bucks felt they had to humble them going all out. Indiana fought hard for a team that should be in lottery mode

I get that line of thought but humbling a shit squad isn't going to be the difference between a title and not. Playing game 7 in Boston instead of Milwaukee could. I still expect the Bucks to get the first seed but this loss keeps it open.

Like the sixers haven’t lost to shitty teams this season? The games that matter are against the “contenders”. We all know sixers aren’t for real

Yeah, but what I'm saying is you guys are loud when the Celtics win and quiet as fuck when they're losing :rolleyes:

Its mostly a net neutral. Celtics lost to Wizards and Bucks beat Pacers to make it 1-1 a piece

The only scenario it matters is if we tie records

Celtics need to win out basically since the Bucks have a few easy games

When we lost to the Magic 3x, blew FTs with the backups facing Cleveland and blew 27 pts to a garbage Nets team they had beaten 11 in a row with KD and Kyrie...it's "struggling, team sucks"...so motivated in those I bet

When we dickslap the Bucks, "they're tired and the Celtics are motivated"

Ya'll the best :lol:

Bro celtics are just 17-12 since January 22nd and just got absolutely dicked down by the Wizards a few days ago.

I dont think beating a team who is on the second leg of a b2b is the biggest flex.

Giannis why you not get over 30.5 pts -_-

Celts, Over & Brown did their part :mad:

As soon as the fan duel sponsor said “I think Giannis could go for 40 tonight” it was clear he was not gonna play well lmao

Build the wall and force him to settle for jumpers.

He isn't going to shoot over defenders consistently. He can't shoot threes for shit either. If he can't bully his way to the rim, he's not all that impactful.
