Stan Van Gundy talks Bucks–Celtics, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jayson Tatum with MichaelVPina ahead of Game 6
You then won Game 6. Dwight Howard had a crazy 20-20 game and then you blow Boston out in Game 7. What do you remember about going down 3-2 in that situation knowing you lost a winnable game against the defending champs. They were wounded. They didn't have KG. You guys didn't have Jameer Nelson. And you look at Milwaukee right now, Milwaukee doesn't have Khris Middleton. They're the defending champs. There's a parallel there.
SI: After Game 5, Ime Udoka said that offensive rebounds were the game. Milwaukee grabbed 17, Boston grabbed five. Bobby Portis had seven himself and then, of course, the game winner.
I think Grant Williams in particular, when he's been matched up individually on Giannis, has surprised me just a little. I always thought he was a good defender. Now I'm wondering if he's the best defender in the league. Both coaches have made tweaks and adjustments as time has gone on, but nothing real drastic. Ime basically went out in the fourth quarter and played the same lineup, that smaller lineup that got him the win in Game 4.
I always felt this way about LeBron when he was in his prime, too. With the great players you can't take everything away, and so we always felt against LeBron, if he's going to make four or five threes, well, then we're in a lot of trouble. But we're not going to be able to take that away. We've gotta try to limit him getting in the paint. And that's what Boston's tried to do to Giannis. I think it's smart defense.
