NBA Playoffs Preview Guide Bucks vs. Celtics: three-pointers will ... (CelticsBlog)

The Bucks have two-time MVP and Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Celtics' calling card since their turnaround has been their defense. Both forces clash for ...

In the playoffs, the Bulls played right into that trap; Chicago made just 28.3% of their 36.8 threes against the Bucks in their gentleman’s sweep. In November, the Celtics beat an Antetokounmpo-less Bucks team on the back of Dennis Schroeder’s 38 points. That jumped up slightly to 11.2 against the Bulls in the playoffs. During the regular season, Antetokounmpo lead the Bucks in passes that resulted in three-pointers attempted at 10.0 per game. But even against the revolving door of defenders that Ime Udoka can throw at Antetokounmpo, he’s going to get his. To call Giannis the engine of the Bucks’ offense is an understatement. They’ll try a similar tactic against Antetokounmpo and the Bucks in Round 2. In effect, their top-5 offense has turned NBA contests into carnival games to see who can make the most 3’s. While Brooklyn did shoot 45.6% from the mid-range (3.4% better than league average), the Celtics effectively took away their shots in the restricted area and limited their three-point attempts from above the break. Both forces clash for Game 1 on Sunday (1 pm, ABC), but by the end of the conference semifinals, it may be the more unpredictable nature of three-point shooting that determines the series. To start off, we're looking at the Nets following a surprising sweep at the hands of the Celtics: pic.twitter.com/sxCBLXZlOD April 28, 2022 Over the course of the regular season, it may not be as noticeable.

Replacing Khris Middleton: Exploring best options for Bucks in ... (Sporting News)

With Khris Middleton sidelined indefinitely, the Bucks will need Grayson Allen and others to step up against the Celtics.

TBD TBD Game 1 The times are still to be determined for this series. Bucks will open at the TD Garden in Boston for Games 1 and 2. During that series, Middleton shot a stellar 62.7 percent from the field and 64.8 percent from 3. "Even when Khris went down, from Game 3, 4, 5, you saw it was a team effort. Against the Bulls, the Bucks shot 47.2 percent from the field and 38.0 percent from 3 as a team. They neutralized Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in the first round, and Antetokounmpo is now their next challenge. Holiday and Mathews are excellent defenders and are capable of slowing down either Tatum or Brown. Matthews is also coming off a strong defensive effort against DeMar DeRozan in the first round, and he will need to duplicate that performance throughout the second round. "Other guys have gotten opportunities and played well, and our defense has tightened up and we've leaned hard on that these three games. Boston, however, is a totally different team than the Bulls.

Even with one of the worst shooting performances of his career, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo still found a way to dominate the Boston ...

There was no minutes restriction on Williams on Sunday after he returned to the lineup in a limited role over the final two games of the series against the Brooklyn Nets. He played 22 minutes for the C's, recording three blocks and grabbing eight rebounds on 3 of 6 shooting from the field. Antetokounmpo connected on just 9 of 25 shots from the field -- the third-lowest percentage of his postseason career for games in which he attempted at least 20 shots -- but also pulled down 13 rebounds and dished out 12 assists, earning the second playoff triple-double of his career. Of course, Giannis found other ways to affect the game for the Bucks, a large reason why they scored a 101-89 victory on Sunday to steal homecourt advantage from the Celtics.

Celtics vs. Warriors vs. Mavs vs. Celtics vs. Warriors vs. Mavs vs. - 76ers vs. - 76ers vs. As a team, the Celtics shot only 33.3 percent from the field. Being down 0-1 to the reigning NBA champions isn’t an ideal position to be in, but the Celtics have enough in their bag to get a win in Game 2. In games they were favored in by 4 points or more so far this season, the Celtics went 24-25-2 against the spread. The Bucks will limit second chances on their end and limit foul shots but Boston's offense was just a bit more consistent over the year.
