Milwaukee Bucks vs. Boston Celtics Game Two Preview: The One ... (Brew Hoop)

They'll be looking to come out and show Game One was an aberration.

Brown wants to play downhill, which he can’t do against Giannis, and he needs to be run through screens on or off-ball in order to do take advantage of being guarded by the Bucks superstar. That’ll probably even out some, but the Celts were a bottom five points per play team in transition all year, and bottom ten in terms of frequency, per Cleaning The Glass. There is room for improvement from their abysmal performance, and some regression due for Milwaukee, but enough to overcome whatever number of easy shots at the rim Giannis is likely to hit here? They had a decent chunk of open threes, but that’s also Milwaukee’s M.O. I don’t anticipate Bud to deviate his strategy, and if Boston wants to take more at the rim or from midrange, I think the Bucks would welcome Tatum and Brown trying to force it over Holiday, Matthews and Giannis. I’d expect the Celts to run more pick-and-roll, probably even higher on the floor so that Tatum can try to walk into deep triples. The interesting part of that is whether they’ll be able to find significantly better shots. Now, the Freak is on the other foot, and Celtics fans are hoping the team will fight back in Game Two while we’re banking on the Bucks carrying the same energy from tip. One of the most hilarious parts of the Milwaukee Bucks dumping the laundry basket upon the Boston Celtics’ head in Game One is how strange of a place it feels to be as a Bucks fan.
