Jay King: Ime Udoka said the Celtics need to do a better job setting up Jayson Tatum: “We didn’t set screens great for him in Game 3 like we did in Game 2.” Thought Tatum still passed up some looks he would normally take.

Ime Udoka maintains the officials got it wrong on the Smart foul call, but the real issue was the way the Celtics played in the third quarter. Especially staying tough against Giannis and his extreme physicality.
“Overall the refs have a rough job as far as that.” – 1:28 PM

Jayson Tatum is down in the stands holding his wrist and flexing his hand after Giannis knocked him out of the air going for the fast break block. He’s holding his left wrist as he walks back to the bench, but he hasn’t head to the locker room. – 4:20 PM

Wow, Tatum dunks on Giannis, who knocks him into the stanchion. Let’s see if they look at this. Tatum is holding his wrist. #Celtics #Bucks – 4:20 PM

Ime Udoka was not shy with showing his displeasure with Grant Williams in Game 3 after the Celtics forward got back late on defense while complaining to officials after a non-call masslive.com/celtics/2022/0… – 4:14 PM

Yo
I understand Bud being upset there 😆
He lost an impulsive challenge because Giannis trucked Grant Williams
Then he watched his man get trucked by Tatum, no call
That’s how the perception of make up calls happen 🗄️ – 4:14 PM

Not crazy about that challenge by Bud. The most you get out of it are 2 free throws for a 70% shooter, now you’ve lost your challenge.
Celtics shoot 32% (Tatum 1-5, Horford 1-4, Grant 0-4) and get outrebounded…yet only trail 22-19.
Bucks should be up by a lot more. – 4:14 PM

Second straight game Ime Udoka has swapped the Williamses out early in the first when Rob wasn’t executing the game plan defending Giannis. Celtics run a middle pick and pop for Grant right away, which we haven’t seen much of this year. – 3:48 PM

Great play to get a potential alley oop for Robert Williams (which Tatum didn’t see) but then nice 2nd attack by Jaylen to get the dump off to Rob anyway. Both C’s buckets at the rim – 3:43 PM

Jay King: Derrick White: “Obviously a tough game. A lot of stuff that we watched film on and learned from. I feel like we haven’t played our best over these last few games.” Said the Celtics need to tighten up their offense and not have empty, frantic possessions. -via Twitter @ByJayKing / May 8, 2022
