It will take – still – a little more for the Celtics to stop the terrible Bucks machine, and this observation also applies to the entire NBA. Kemba Walker was on fire, Marcus Smart wanted to eat suede and we’re not talking about chocolate… but these Bucks are terrifying and you will have to get up early to go get them this season.
43 games, 37 wins. In Wisconsin? 22 basketball evenings and 20 fireworks. The results of the Bucks 2019-20 speak for them and we again had an explanation of their terrible domination last night. Regular is regular Of course, but that in no way detracts from the game and the confidence displayed by General Budenholzer’s troops, and the Celtics saw it once again tonight.
First bad news for the Celtics? The absence of Jaylen Brown because of a recalcitrant finger, it is definitely fashion. The second ? The absence of Gordon Hayward’s address, which quickly becomes problematic when a sniper is already missing and when a third (Tatum) is not having a big night either. 2/14 of the parking lot for the Gordon / Jayson duo and that night So it’s Kemba Walker who, as a good road captain, had no other choice but to take everyone on his little shoulders. to try to validate an extremely rare feat: winning it at the Fiserv Forum. And very clearly, Kembaba will not have much to be ashamed of when it comes time to switch to the land of dreams. 40 points for the former franchise player of the Hornets, 24 in the second quarter to wake up the Celtics in agony from the start of the match, because first and foremost we must tell you that the score … is misleading.
Wow, 128-123, that must have been a big game. Hello Team Boxscore, but not really actually.
Because if Jayson Tatum will lay the foundations of a huge braquo by putting the C’s back together with four small points in the last minute, never, oh never, Boston will have deserved to win this match, if not by the merit of not not have left the room before the end. The score is misleading, yes, because very quickly the Bucks will take the lead and count up to… 24 points ahead in the first half, then unrolling their basketball and letting the Celtics kindly believe in who knows what. And if Kemba Walker had warmed up before halftime on the Boston side, it’s a whole collective that will once again have everyone agree in Milwaukee. Giannis Antetokounmpo of course (32/17/7/2 but always this new reflex of taking himself for Stephen Curry) but also a Khris Middleton who also begins to campaign for the All-Star Game, a Brook Lopez who gradually finds little his skills 3 and block after a disgusting start to the season, but also these gentlemen George Hill, Ilyasova, Korver and especially DiVincenzo coming off the bench, Coach Bud’s bench mob putting the Celtics’ head underwater when the incumbents had pushed them to the fleet. On arrival, the victory will therefore be much easier than the score suggests and if Boston saw a great missed opportunity to recover second place in the East, the Bucks confirmed for their part with this fifth victory in a row their hand put on the right side of the Stazounis and on the whole NBA.
A tight score but a match that was not, and two teams that continue to gauge each other for a possible meeting next May. At the moment T the Bucks seem a few notches above, it is an understatement to say it, and Brad Stevens will have to very quickly put in double-screen. On the one hand, managing the regular, on the other, finding solutions, finding solutions to overcome these Bucks which are increasingly scary.
