Listen Later

The Celtics last night were scheduled to take on the defending NBA Champion Milwaukee Bucks for the 1st time this season. However the game was far from the spectacle every was hoping to see as major names from both teams were missing which left the anticipation for the game at a much more lower level. The Celtics were already with Jaylen Brown for 2 games and knew he wasn't gonna play in this game as he is expected to remain out a few more games. Yet despite Browns absence people seemed to feel the Celtics were playing better without him. Meanwhile the Bucks were coming into this game with Khris Middleton who had missed 6 straight and Brook Lopez who had missed 11 straight both expected to be out. Then 1 hour before tip off Giannis Antetokounmpo was ruled out as well meaning the Bucks would be without 3 of their starting 5 players. You would think the Celtics would have this game in hand and it would be rather easy knowing they still had Jayson Tatum to lead the way right? NOPE. The celtics would come away with the win but the Celtics would end up allowing the injury riddled Milwaukee Bucks team to forced them all the way into overtime before they finally said enough is enough and would put them away. The Celtics needed a monster performance from Dennish Schroder in order this win this game as Schroder scored 38 points on 16/27 shooting in 41 minutes while Tatum added 27 points, Smart had 19 and Timelord added 12. Schroder was honored with an M.V.P chant as he took free throws late in the OT for his performance as Schroder was the difference maker for the Celtics in this game but many feel the fact the Celtics even were in the position to lose this game ws a bad look on their part. So we will discuss this game and that very topic with our special guest Bobby Krivitsky (@BobbyKrivitsky on twitter) who will join us.
