It wasn’t clear how the Celtics and their fans expected the game to end, surprising even NBA analysts called into the intense game with the Bucks’ impressive comeback. Everyone took to the league’s unofficial social media site to share their thoughts on how the match was going, and tweeted with excitement – and then dismay – that the game collapsed in front of the Celtics.

Let’s take a look at some of the best reactions to Milwaukee’s Game 5 win on Twitter on Wednesday night.
Boston’s offense is a bit heavy. Most of them were good, except for:
– Tatum with Allen on it. This should be an unattainable attack.
– Brown fast one early in the hour.

Al Horford defensive stop on Giannis draws crowds here.Tweet embed Going…

They are coming after this deadline. It looks like Giannis is getting his usual relief now, too. It’s best to keep Theis minutes when Giannis is seated.

I hate the first three.

It looks like the Celtics have gone on shooting 50 percent of their properties so far.

Daniel Theiss’ Night of Redemption?
– Brian Robb (@BrianTRobb) May 11 2022
Celtics no rotation. Bucks no fast break points. A great sign for Boston.

They’ve already got a right target.

Marcus Smart took a shot into the quartet after stealing the Bucks’ possession from second to last.
He walked away for a bit before running backwards on the ground

TD Garden during the playoffs is unparalleled 🗣🗣🗣

Derek White’s appearance in the playoffs after all that was going on in his first 6 matches is a huge improvement.
– Yaya Dubin (@JADubin5) May 11 2022
You know the Celtics are in great shape when Derek White and Daniel Theiss combined a perfect 8-8 from the field for 18 points.

In a poor second quarter so far for the Bucks, they shot 27.8% from the field, lost all five seconds and had five turnovers. The attack stuck and Celtics D’ing up.
– Jeff Zillgitt (@JeffZillgitt) May 11 2022
Giannis wants his team in this game. Up to 19 points. No other player in the Bucks has more than nine, and that’s Holiday – who needed nine shots to get.
– Chris Mannix (@SIChrisMannix) 12 May 2022
The Celtics will probably go up 15 for now if Tatum doesn’t enforce those three.

Ime Udoka Let these guys have it on their way off the field.

I think it’s Grayson’s hunting season.
– Jay King (@ByJayKing) 12 May 2022
Watching Jaylen Brown now think about how much his game has changed over the years. He was a solid ball player coming in, and he seemed to shoot unnaturally from the rebound. Seeing him dribble and shoot as smoothly as he does is amazing. “FCHWPO” – Jaylen practices what he preaches.
– Kevin O’Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) 12 May 2022
No more ball handling for Grant. This is a mess.
– Keith Smith (KeithSmithNBA) 12 May 2022
Remember when people thought Jason and Jalen couldn’t get along

Boston continues to use and upgrade the watch as if it were above 10 instead of 2.

Smart was shouting at the judges when he felt out of the air when Giannis bounced on that Tatum bucket, the referee was just holding two fingers pointing at Simat and Giannis as they ran back. Then Smart does the big flip charge and gets the call lol
Jared WeissNBA 12 May 2022
You may not select Marcus Smart first on the field. But maybe the second.
– Jack McCallum (@McCallum12) 12 May 2022
It looks like Giannis is bleeding from his right eye
– Matt Eppers (@meppers_) 12 May 2022
distasteful. Entire.
– John Zannis (@John_Zannis) 12 May 2022
Helluva effort there from Bobby Portis – his 15th rebound and retraction before 11.4 seconds left gives #dollars 108-107 bullets.
– Jim Owczarski (@JimOwczarski) 12 May 2022
This series is amazing
– Hardwood bout (HPbasketball) 12 May 2022
The Celtics had the game on hand and put it off by slowing things down. Boston will regret dropping this.
– GregCassoli (@GregCassoli) 12 May 2022
The Celtics gave up on what got them there in the fourth quarter and allowed the Bucks to come back in again. An incredible return by the heroes to take the series to Milwaukee to try to close it down. https://t.co/kzG637aPsB
