Game Time: 1:00 PM EDT on Sunday May 1, 2022

Milwaukee Bucks 27, Boston Celtics 24 (End Q1)

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo played the entire first quarter for the #Bucks. He was the only player for either team to do so.
Milwaukee leads Boston 27-24 after one. – 1:39 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
This may be the worst quarter of basketball of Derrick White’s life. – 1:39 PM

David Morrow @_DavidMorrow
Pat Connaughton looks incredibly dorky defending the inbounder – 1:38 PM

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Brook Lopez is causing real problems at the rim. #Celtics #Bucks – 1:38 PM

Jay King @ByJayKing
Bucks picking up full court and really getting into the Celtics ball handlers. Have made Boston uncomfortable that way. – 1:37 PM

Tom Westerholm @Tom_NBA
You assume at some point the reality of Derrick White is going to match the theory of Derrick White, but not so far. – 1:37 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Tatum and Theis in after the timeout. Brown and Horford get their first rest.
9-man rotation for Boston so far. – 1:37 PM

Boston Celtics @celtics
HELLO JAYLEN BROWN pic.twitter.com/vbobcaSfNW – 1:37 PM

Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
This Jaylen Brown putback is crazy pic.twitter.com/BusOl8cIMn – 1:36 PM

Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop
It’s understandable how the Bucks lost sight of Jaylen Brown on that tip dunk.
He was hiding behind the 1974 championship banner before descending to make the play. – 1:36 PM

Boston Celtics @celtics
Al having NONE of it ❌ pic.twitter.com/WddMiW5BAs – 1:36 PM

Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Pat from DEEP!! 👌 pic.twitter.com/FZUEP1wk6P – 1:36 PM

Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
Derrick White really hurting the Celts again. Ongoing prob. Surprised Pritchard wasn’t the first guard off the bench for this one. – 1:35 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Pat Connaughton always plays well in the Boston homecoming games. Or it least it feels like he does. – 1:35 PM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The #Celtics had an 8-0 and have had a couple tip-slams off missed shots, but the #Bucks have stayed connected. Boston leads 24-22 with 1:47 to go in the first quarter. – 1:35 PM

Greg Dickerson @gregdickerson13
Get friggen Tatum back in..40 minutes! – 1:35 PM

John Karalis @John_Karalis
Jaylen Brown continues to find creative ways to dunk on Giannis Antetokounmpo – 1:34 PM

Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Boston defense is *nasty* – 1:34 PM

Jay King @ByJayKing
Wow, Jaylen Brown. Sheesh. Just skied over Giannis for that putback. – 1:34 PM

Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Jaylen over Giannis wooooww – 1:33 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Getting Pritchard in while Carter is out there, is a good move by Udoka. Gives him someone to guard without as much worry as other Bucks. – 1:33 PM

Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Bucks daring Grant Williams to shoot 3s has worked in the past. Probably won’t in this series. – 1:33 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Celtics need White to make those short ones in the paint. – 1:32 PM

Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Celtics have forced six Bucks turnovers in eight minutes. – 1:31 PM

Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach
Bucks now have 7 turnovers in 8 minutes and are shooting 38 percent from the field. Marcus Smart, unsurprisingly, has been at the center of it all. – 1:31 PM

Mark Murphy @Murf56
Celtics off to a 37.5% start, Bucks 41.7%. Setting the tone for a great defensive clash. – 1:29 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
White and Grant in for the Celtics. Ime Udoka sticking with his regular rotation of taking out Rob and Tatum first.
Tatum will come back in before the end of Q1 when Brown will sit.
The difference may be if Ime sticks with 8 and Rob comes back or if goes with 9 and plays Theis. – 1:29 PM

A. Sherrod Blakely @ASherrodblakely
He defends. He passes. And yes, @Marcus Smart can finish at the rim if you sleep on his movement off the ball. Boston leads Milwaukee 18-12. pic.twitter.com/pPT4d1Lq8O – 1:28 PM

Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
That Tatum defence on Jrue above the arc was incredible, didn’t give him an inch – 1:28 PM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The #Celtics have attempted four more shots than the #Bucks, who have five turnovers. Boston also has four points off three offensive rebounds. – 1:28 PM

Jay King @ByJayKing
Robert Williams with easily his best stint since coming back from knee surgery. Four points, five rebounds, a big presence at the rim, crushing on the offensive glass. Good sight for the Celtics. – 1:26 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Jrue Holiday just picked up his second personal foul with 5:01 left in the first quarter.
Both fouls came as he tried to take charges. First one, he was late. Second one looked like it could have been legit. – 1:26 PM

Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Giannis runs on dunkin’!! pic.twitter.com/mpPuyUckMo – 1:26 PM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Jrue Holiday now has two fouls seven minutes into the first quarter. #Celtics lead the #Bucks 16-12. – 1:25 PM

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Second foul on Jrue Holiday. #Celtics #Bucks – 1:25 PM

Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach
Robert Williams is back. – 1:25 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Robert Williams is springy, man. – 1:24 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
After five minutes, the Bucks and Celtics are tied at 10.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has two turnovers, but also hammered a dunk for the Bucks’ first bucket and also hit a mid-range jumper.
Both teams have settled in here. Lots of nervous energy/adrenaline from both sides to start. – 1:21 PM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Celtics have half of their points off four #Bucks turnovers in the opening five minutes of Game 1.
10-10 at the 6:56 mark. – 1:20 PM

Mark Murphy @Murf56
Grayson Allen checks in and crowd immediately gets on him. They haven’t experienced Grayson Allen enough to boo, have they? – 1:20 PM

Boston Celtics @celtics
We look to come out and match the Bucks’ level of focus and intensity for Game 1 pic.twitter.com/SrW4geDzfF – 1:19 PM

A. Sherrod Blakely @ASherrodblakely
While it’s wise for the Celtics to respect Giannis and what he can do defensively at the rim, at some point they need to look to finish at the rim and not just drive and kick. – 1:19 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
First sub is Grayson Allen. He came on for Jrue Holiday. – 1:19 PM

Boston Celtics @celtics
Rob on the cleanup 💥 pic.twitter.com/vP002RKyht – 1:18 PM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Grayson Allen is today’s sixth man for the #Bucks. Game tied at 10. – 1:18 PM

Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Going from facing the Nets to the Bucks defense is like hiking Sedona then booking a flight to the Himalayas. – 1:18 PM

Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop
Bucks win the opening tip. Ball goes to @Giannis Antetokounmpo in backcourt.
Crowd starts to boo, then realizes, hey, you can’t hate Giannis. Hooting ceases. You can dislike what he does to your team, but you’ve got to respect the dude. – 1:18 PM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Celtics up on the #Bucks 10-8 in the early going. Giannis Antetokounmpo has three turnovers, Jrue Holiday has six points. – 1:17 PM

Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Giannis starting off strong!! pic.twitter.com/Ta9PUXzV2O – 1:16 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Celtics can’t pass up perfectly good shots (that Smart floater) to try and find perfect shots. Just take the good ones.
Perfect is the enemy of good. – 1:16 PM

Boston Celtics @celtics
Al getting things started 👌🏽 pic.twitter.com/yRnwJQYBgv – 1:15 PM

Mark Murphy @Murf56
Celtics trying to crack Bucks’ drop-down D early – 2-3 from three. – 1:13 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Rob Williams is in his roamer role guarding Wesley Matthews. – 1:12 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Matthews on Tatum to start.
DHO into a Williams roll, which opens up Horford for a 3. – 1:12 PM

Jay King @ByJayKing
Giannis guarding Jaylen Brown. Jrue Holiday on Smart. Different matchups than I would have expected. – 1:12 PM

John Karalis @John_Karalis
Robert Williams indeed starting out on Wesley Matthews as a roamer.. Al Horford picked up Giannis to open the game – 1:12 PM

Mark Murphy @Murf56
Horford forces a Giannis turnover on the first possession. – 1:11 PM

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Giannis immediately draws a double and makes a turnover. #Celtics #Bucks – 1:11 PM

Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Horford opens up on Giannis and a Celtics double team immediately forces a turnover. – 1:11 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Horford on Antetokounmpo on the Bucks first offensive possession.
Antetokounmpo turns it over. – 1:11 PM

A. Sherrod Blakely @ASherrodblakely
Celtics ready to get this thing going. pic.twitter.com/exfXYNBcLJ – 1:11 PM

Ben Rohrbach @brohrbach
Horford on Giannis to start. Gets a stop. – 1:11 PM

As we officially get underway with the second round here in Boston, here are my predictions:
Heat in 5
Celtics in 6
Mavs in 6
Warriors in 6 – 1:10 PM

It remains awesome that TD Garden is Deuce Tatum’s personal playground. – 1:10 PM

Mark Murphy @Murf56
Rob Williams returns to the starting lineup with no restrictions. – 1:07 PM

Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
of course celtics fans boo giannis even though he’s like the most loveable athlete in the sport – 1:06 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I’m guessing we see the Bucks start out like this matchup-wise:
Holiday – Tatum
Matthews – Brown
Giannis – Smart
Portis – Horford
Lopez – Rob
That will allow Giannis to roam some, while Lopez can stay in the paint. – 1:06 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
I would’ve picked Celtics in seven if Khris Middleton was healthy. Without him, I went Celtics in five. – 1:06 PM

Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
It’s time for Bucks Basketball!! pic.twitter.com/qEPGeTCyBg – 1:05 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
The green hair is admirable on Marcus Smart’s part but this maybe isn’t the series to do that? Milwaukee also wears green. – 1:04 PM

Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach
Kyrie showing up on the Jumbotron during a Round 1 highlight reel generated louder boos than the Bucks did when they walked onto the court. – 1:03 PM

Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
Curious to see how effective Jrue Holiday can be offensively going up against Marcus Smart and Derrick White. If Holiday can hold his own and Brook Lopez can win the centre matchup, Bucks should be right there. We know Giannis is gonna be insanely good.
GrayConn 1 needed, too. – 12:59 PM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
And yes, Bobby Portis will open this series with the goggles/specs/bifocals (h/t @olskool888) – 12:57 PM

Marc Spears was on the FAN the other day and said the Raptors had a chance to trade up and draft Nikola Jokic but opted not to because they had Gasol and Ibaka.

My favorite Round 2 bet: a series parlay w/ the Celtics (-200) and Suns (-295) which is +100 right now on @FDSportsbook.
Giannis is the bet-busting X-factor obviously. Here’s how me, Mahoney + KOC broke down The Freak’s considerable ceiling in Round 2.

In my deep-dive BOS-MIL series preview for @celticsblog (link below!), I said I think a sneaky key to this series for the Celtics is Payton Pritchard.
He’s Boston’s best pullup shooter, non-Tatum division. That shot is often there. He needs to make it.
