Comments from the Other Side - Bucks 4/3/26

  Another good game by the Celtics.  That graphic cracked me up.  Like I have said many times, Doc lost me when he said that teams don't need to work on defense in practice.  The Celtics won with him because of Thibs and KG.  He's failed everywhere he's gone since.  He constantly puts blame on everyone else except himself.  I love the respect they give Brad Stevens.  It's sad to see how few Bucks fans are commenting in the forums.   And, the on...
