What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
On Tatum getting undercut by Giannis with no call, Mazzulla said: “That’s ridiculous. You can’t miss that. You can’t miss that.” He added the officiating crew later admitted they missed them call. #Celtics #Bucks – 6:15 PM
Peter Vecsey @PeterVecsey1
Lillard dry heaved 7-8 trifectas. What else do you have to know about a game in which Giannis detonated for 43 points, his 50th 40-plus career effort? – 6:09 PM

Giannis made twice as many field goals (18) as Milwaukee’s four other starters combined (9).
The problems start there. Besides Dame sometimes, it sort of feels like it’s Giannis kicking ass with a bunch of other guys just sort of there. – 5:59 PM

Brown’s foul on Giannis is going to be reviewed for a flagrant. He had both arms out. It could be a Flagrant 1. #Celtics #Bucks – 5:34 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That foul by Jaylen Brown is under review to see if it should be upgraded. – 5:33 PM

That’s such a pretty pass by Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Had both corners full in transition. Looked to his left and then whipped a pass to AJ Green in the right corner with his left hand. – 4:18 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Giannis has 21 pts in 12 minutes. #Celtics can’t get stops and can’t match #Bucks offensively so far. – 4:14 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
#Celtics slow out of the gates, trail #Bucks 40-30 after 1Q. Tatum 6, Brown 5, Pritchard 5, Holiday 5; Antetokounmpo 19, Prince 9. – 4:09 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
After one quarter, the Bucks lead, 40-30.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has 19 points and four rebounds, while Taurean Prince added nine points (3-3 3pt) in the first quarter. – 4:08 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Wow. #Bucks digging deep. Rollins-Jackson-Green-Giannis-Portis. – 4:05 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Look at Giannis-Lillard breaking into a little 2 man game. – 3:58 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That’s an absurd finish by Giannis Antetokounmpo on the alley-oop from Damian Lillard. – 3:57 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
Reminder that Giannis is still the best player in the Eastern Conference – 3:54 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
With 5:56 left in the first quarter, the Bucks lead, 25-16.
Celtics have gotten themselves back in this one, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is off to a strong early start with 13 points and three rebounds in the first six minutes. – 3:53 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
And that’s about as good of a start as you can have to a game. The Bucks are 4-of-4 from 3 (two for Prince, one for Antetokounmpo, one for Lopez).
Bucks up, 16-2, with 9:38 left in the first quarter. – 3:45 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Giannis Antetokounmpo gets to the line on the first possession and the Bucks get their first two points on his free throws.
Away we go in Milwaukee… – 3:42 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
#Celtics settle at -5 w/ Brown back.
MIL was a bit of house of horrors for C’s last yr.
1/11 – #Bucks went up 75-38 at half before BOS benched starters (135-102). Was 5th game in 7 days.
4/9 – Porzingis/Horford out. East decided. Giannis goes down but MIL wins 104-91. – 3:05 PM

More on this storyline

Pickens joined Big 12 Sports Saturday on WISN 12 to detail what happened from his point of view, admitting that he subconsciously sighed while Antetokounmpo was speaking. “I’ve covered the Bucks a few times in New York,” Pickens said. “[Antetokounmpo is] one of the more thoughtful guys. I love interviewing him. I always love being in scrums with him because I always learn something, I always hear great thoughts. It was very weird. I don’t love being the story. Watching it all unfold on social media was kind of crazy as well.” -via New York Post / November 10, 2024
