Jayson Tatum sucked. That was unfortunate. Kemba played limited minutes. That was expected. Giannis was able to finish the game with more than six personal fouls. That was bull****. But despite all these happenings, the Celtics still competed with the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night in their first real game since March 10.
It pains me to start this article in this way, but I have no choice other than to lead with how terrible Jayson Tatum was on the basketball floor on Friday. It seems like “2-18,” the FG-FGA mark that Tatum had against the Bucks, is going to be a signature number in Boston sports fans’ memory. We know “28-3,” we know “18 and 1,” and now we know “2-18,” although it should be remembered as 1-17 because the Celtics’ first made shot was attributed to Tatum when two Bucks accidentally tipped the ball in their own basket while going for the rebound.
Tatum pretty much began where he left off in the scrimmages, only this time, he missed more shots because he played a normal amount of minutes given that Friday’s game meant something to the win-loss records of the teams competing. He continued to be out of rhythm offensively but to perhaps a worse extent than in the scrimmages. He looked like a ghost of himself, just going through the motions. For starters, Tatum vs. making left wing threes have been a one sided rivalry down in Orlando; I’m pretty sure he’s like 1-12 from that spot so far. On nearly all of his drives he seemed hesitant and off-balance, leading to an awkward release and a miss. At one point in the game he simply missed a point blank layup from a standstill position.
If you’ve ever played basketball, you’d understand how your offense impacts how you play defense. If you are making your shots and/or making good passes to your teammates, you have that pep in your step that makes you want to play great defense. However, Jayson wasn’t making anything, and so, consequently, his defense wasn’t as good as it should be. On one play he allowed Sterling Brown to get the rim for an and-one, just a lack of focus; and in crunch time he gambled and tried to steal the ball from Giannis which led to that controversial and-one on Smart. (More on Giannis and the officials later.) I believe that if Tatum had made at least a few shots, the act of seeing the ball go through the hoop for him would’ve given him enough of a confidence boost to get him to laser in on defense and at least play normal, measured defense at such a critical point in the game. Instead, he overcompensated for his lack of offense and tried to do too much, prove to his teammates that he could still be of use, and made the costly mistake.
I don’t know what exactly to blame his noticeable struggles on: The fact that he didn’t find a hoop during quarantine until late April, that he’s been playing perhaps too much golf, is away from his son Deuce, or some other reason. It also looks like he got leaner with his frame/shoulders becoming less broad since March, although that could just be me getting tripped out by the camera angle on these Disney courts. Whatever the case may be, Twitter teed off on Tatum:
As a huge Tatum fan, it sucks that he’s been so bad in Orlando and that everyone has had the justified right to slander him. Some of my friends are already claiming that Jaylen Brown, who, don’t get me wrong, I like a lot, is our best player. Some are saying that he’s not a top 15 player in the league. Although I disagree with both of those statements, at least at this point in time, Tatum has to turn his slump around soon or else more haters will creep out of the woods. I don’t know whether his truly fantastic trainer, Drew Hanlen, needs to get seriously involved here, but what I do know is that if he doesn’t return to even 90% of what he was in those 5-6 weeks before the shutdown, the Celtics upside is capped at a pre-conference finals exit. That February-March Tatum is the Tatum that gives the Celtics a legit threat to push the Bucks to a long series in the Eastern Conference Finals, but that Tatum was absolutely dead on Friday.
Aside from the Tatum thing, it felt like a classic Celtics game against the Bucks. Boston looked eager and focused from the tipoff and through the first couple of defensive possessions. The starters looked like they had this shared responsibility to stop Giannis and they were all buying into that. However, as is almost inevitable, Giannis got going and things snowballed. Before you could blink the C’s were down 17-2 with the Bucks looking unstoppable on both ends of the court. However, Boston rallied back, and, by the end of the first quarter, we already had that classic hungry and determined look from Jaylen Brown that signalled that it was a ballgame again. Boston continued to fight and took a brief lead on Milwaukee in the 3rd quarter, again, something that seems to happen every time between these two teams, only to eventually let the back-and-forth battle slip out of hand in the final minutes of the 4th.
Obviously a big storyline down the stretch was the officiating, specifically, two plays that each saved Giannis from fouling out. The first blasphemous officiating crime came with the Celtics on offense in what I believe was a tie game with under two minutes to play. In the play, that is shown below, Giannis punches Daniel Theis in the groin area, an act that would probably get him arrested if he did such a thing in a normal societal setting. In any case, you be the judge here. Should this have been called a foul on Giannis?
The answer, undoubtedly, is yes. But even after review, the play was simply deemed “Celtics ball.” Tough.
Then, of course, moments after that Tatum gamble on Giannis, Smart stepped up, and, with his feet just outside of the restricted arc, planted himself right before Giannis ran into him for what was called a charge. Boom! Celtics ball! Giannis is now fouled out! Let’s go! It’s still a tie game, we can win! But no, no, no. The Bucks challenged the call and the refs, wrongly, overturned it. Unbelievable. Instead of Giannis fouling out and turning it over to the Celtics with the chance to take the lead, Giannis was awarded the and-one and remained in the game.
The third main story was the health and minutes restriction of Kemba Walker. Kemba physically looked good. He was able to do his thing where he races off the screen right to the three-point line to pull-up. He hustled to contest three-point shots from Milwaukee multiple times. He sacrificed his body to take a charge, that wasn’t called, on, ahem, you guessed it, Giannis. He scored 16 points in just 19 minutes and added on a pair of assists, one of which was a nice wrap around bounce pass to Theis. Hopefully Kemba can continue to get ramped up prior to the playoffs.
The three sure-fire rotational guys who I deemed were net positives in the scrimmages, Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward, and Marcus Smart, all continued their good play on Friday. Hayward was just solid overall, putting up 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists on 6-14 from the field. For the most part, he let the game come to him. He made some key unselfish passes. Jaylen put up 22 (on just 6-15 shooting) but got the the free throw line a lot and competed at a high level. Unfortunately, he picked up his 5th foul early in the 3rd quarter and had to sit on the bench for some time. And Marcus Smart was just doing Marcus Smart things. 23 points on just 11 shot attempts plus great defense. The dude always brings it. Additionally, Daniel Theis contributed nicely with 13 points and 12 rebounds, and, more importantly, was pretty much the C’s only option against the Bucks’ large Lopez brothers. Theis’ value to this team cannot be overlooked.
In other news, Brad Wanamaker actually wasn’t that bad, scoring 14 points on 5-9 shooting with six rebounds. Kanter wasn’t much of a factor, scoring two points on two field goal attempts. Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams combined for zero points and zero field goal attempts in 19 combined minutes, although Semi tried his best to slow down Giannis while he was guarding him.
Look, the Bucks are by far the best defensive team this season. Take a look at the chart:
| Defensive Metric | NBA Leader | 2nd Best Mark |
| defensive rating | Bucks (102.3) | Raptors (105.5) |
| opponent effective FG% | Bucks (49.2%) | Clippers (50.5%) |
| defensive rebound percentage | Bucks (79.3%) | Heat (76.9%) |
So, given how dominant defensively the Bucks are, it was nice to see the Celtics put up 112 points especially with Tatum being atrocious and Kemba only playing 19 minutes. Boston didn’t back down from all their size and length. However, the Celtics had just 18 assists on their 36 made field goals (not including the Tatum field goal that went in via the Bucks). For reference, the Bucks assisted on 25 of their 39 made field goals.
So, what’s the bottom line? I loved how the Celtics competed against the Bucks. It was a great reminder that it’s a super fun team to root for. Bucks fans may point to Bledsoe and Connaughton not being active and Middleton’s uncharacteristicly poor shooting performance against the Celtics, but I would argue that Tatum effectively going 1-17 is as impactful as those three Milwaukee excuses combined. Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers has a trap game vibe to it, but with so many Celtics playing well, and Tatum having dropped 36 against Portland in February, Sunday’s game represents a good opportunity to put more things together.

I believe that avoiding highly processed foods is a first step for you to lose weight. They could taste very good, but prepared foods have got very little nutritional value, making you take more only to have enough vigor to get through the day. If you’re constantly consuming these foods, converting to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will help you to have more power while eating less. Good blog post.

Thanks for your intriguing article. One other problem is that mesothelioma is generally due to the inhalation of materials from mesothelioma, which is a extremely dangerous material. It is commonly found among employees in the construction industry who may have long experience of asbestos. It is caused by living in asbestos protected buildings for a long time of time, Genetics plays an important role, and some individuals are more vulnerable on the risk compared to others.
I’ve learned a few important things through your post. I will also like to mention that there can be situation in which you will have a loan and don’t need a co-signer such as a Fed Student Aid Loan. When you are getting a loan through a traditional banker then you need to be prepared to have a co-signer ready to make it easier for you. The lenders will probably base any decision on a few aspects but the most important will be your credit rating. There are some loan merchants that will also look at your work history and choose based on that but in almost all cases it will hinge on your scores.
It’s my belief that mesothelioma can be the most deadly cancer. It’s got unusual qualities. The more I actually look at it a lot more I am convinced it does not act like a true solid human cancer. In case mesothelioma can be a rogue virus-like infection, so there is the chance of developing a vaccine as well as offering vaccination to asbestos subjected people who are really at high risk regarding developing long term asbestos associated malignancies. Thanks for giving your ideas about this important ailment.

I learned more interesting things on this weight reduction issue. A single issue is that good nutrition is very vital any time dieting. An enormous reduction in fast foods, sugary meals, fried foods, sugary foods, beef, and bright flour products could possibly be necessary. Keeping wastes unwanted organisms, and wastes may prevent targets for shedding fat. While certain drugs in the short term solve the matter, the terrible side effects are usually not worth it, and they also never supply more than a temporary solution. This is a known incontrovertible fact that 95 of diet plans fail. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this website.

I additionally believe that mesothelioma cancer is a extraordinary form of cancer that is commonly found in these previously subjected to asbestos. Cancerous cells form from the mesothelium, which is a protective lining that covers many of the body’s internal organs. These cells normally form while in the lining on the lungs, stomach, or the sac that encircles the heart. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

Thanks for the guidelines you have discussed here. Yet another thing I would like to talk about is that computer memory demands generally increase along with other innovations in the know-how. For instance, any time new generations of processor chips are made in the market, there is usually a corresponding increase in the size demands of all computer memory and also hard drive space. This is because the software operated simply by these processors will inevitably boost in power to leverage the new technologies.

Thanks for the helpful posting. It is also my belief that mesothelioma cancer has an particularly long latency period, which means that the signs of the disease might not emerge right until 30 to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos. Pleural mesothelioma, that is certainly the most common variety and influences the area about the lungs, could potentially cause shortness of breath, torso pains, and a persistent cough, which may lead to coughing up maintain.
An attention-grabbing dialogue is value comment. I feel that you should write more on this matter, it may not be a taboo topic but typically people are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

I believe that a foreclosures can have a significant effect on the client’s life. Foreclosures can have a Seven to several years negative affect on a debtor’s credit report. A new borrower who has applied for a home loan or just about any loans even, knows that the worse credit rating is actually, the more tricky it is to have a decent financial loan. In addition, it could affect the borrower’s ability to find a decent place to lease or hire, if that gets to be the alternative homes solution. Great blog post.

Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem with your site in internet explorer, would test this? IE still is the market leader and a huge portion of people will miss your magnificent writing due to this problem.
Thanks for the tips you have shared here. Furthermore, I believe there are several factors that will keep your insurance premium lower. One is, to bear in mind buying cars and trucks that are inside good set of car insurance companies. Cars that are expensive tend to be at risk of being snatched. Aside from that insurance is also in line with the value of your truck, so the more costly it is, then the higher the actual premium you spend.
In my opinion that a foreclosure can have a significant effect on the debtor’s life. Home foreclosures can have a 7 to a decade negative impact on a borrower’s credit report. A borrower that has applied for a mortgage or just about any loans as an example, knows that your worse credit rating is actually, the more tough it is to have a decent mortgage. In addition, it may possibly affect any borrower’s capacity to find a decent place to lease or hire, if that results in being the alternative real estate solution. Great blog post.
