For those still wondering about SVG's tone/madman rants during the national broadcast last game, my sources say he's been hanging around the Celtics RGM quite a lot this season and it's clear we have infected him.



LoL this would make sense.... never seen anything like it ... the best record in the leauge and every time we've gone down in a game ... its the literal end of the world .

I think we’ve made a pretty concerted effort to let him get to where he thinks he wants to be and then bother him with length. That worked better than KP trying to body him up at least. Don’t think X has the length to make an impact there.

I get that but what I don't get is Tatum sucks, Brown sucks, Holiday sucks, Mazzulla sucks, Porzingis sucks etc. we need to trade them.

Like there is no such thing of a player having a tough stretch in a game.

Speaking of SVG, the Celtics gave up their least amount of open threes all series last night lol, and the Heat still outperformed their shot quality.

He needs the Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine treatment.

Hmm, same as Giannis' injury?

MILWAUKEE — Until 3:40 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday’s game against the Boston Celtics, things were going well for the Milwaukee Bucks. In the middle of a four-game losing streak, the Bucks were up 15 points on the NBA’s only 60-win team.

Then disaster struck.

Without making contact with another player, Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo crumpled to the floor and immediately grabbed the lower half of his left leg.

After sitting for a short period with teammates and a trainer surrounding him, Antetokounmpo put weight on the leg and then put an arm around the shoulders of teammates Brook Lopez and Thanasis Antetokounmpo. Eventually, Antetokounmpo walked back to the Bucks’ locker room under his own power.

The Bucks announced Tuesday night that Antetokounmpo strained his left soleus, which is a muscle in the calf. But Antetokounmpo managed to avoid damage to his left Achilles tendon — a best-case outcome — and his return will be based on treatment and how the strained calf’s rehab response, league sources told The Athletic’s Shams Charania on Wednesday morning.


The soleus is one of two muscles that make up the calf, so teams will often refer to soleus strains as the more general calf strain, but there are instances where teams have specified that a player suffered from a soleus strain. One of those instances occurred last season with Lillard, while he was a member of the Portland Trail Blazers.

“That s— hurt,” Lillard said in response to a question from The Athletic about how it felt when had the same injury in the first month of the 2022-23 season. “It hurt. … When I did it, usually I’m able to walk things off. I feel like I have a high pain tolerance and when I did it, I started to walk, it wasn’t just that it was that painful, it was that the muscle just can’t handle it.

Fortunately, we can make do without KP I think. We still have Horford right behind him, and Tillman and Kornet too. Not perfect, but we're much better prepared to weather this than Milwaukee was losing Giannis.

We got this. Get through the east and bring him back for the big finals matchup if we get there.

Hopefully KP's back for the ECF (if we keep advancing). Onus on the rest of the roster to TCOB in game 5 so Horford can rest and they can prep Kornet and Tillman for the next round. Don't rush KP. Rest of the starters + Al have to step up in his place. And by step up, not just jack up more shots that usually go to KP. Still need to play the right way.

Finish these guys off quickly. Go up by 30+ so the starters don’t have to play a single minute against these dirty scumbags in the 4th.
