Boston Celtics: 3 honest reactions to Game 4 loss to Milwaukee Bucks
By Gio Rivera

Lets just go down the line with the box score from Gordon Hayward, Terry Rozier, and Marcus Smart.
Gordon Hayward (26:38)- 2 points, 1/5 FG, 0/2 3-PT FG, 3 rebounds, -11 (+/-)
A resemblance of the early season Gordon Hayward that we saw from October to December made an unfortunate appearance last night. Hayward was both tedious and inefficient which is just about the worst combination Brad Stevens could get from nearly 27 minutes of Hayward on the floor.
Aggression was not at all present and Hayward failed to connect on wide open shots.
Terry Rozier (10:27)- 2 points, 1/5 FG, 0/3 3-PT FG, 2 rebounds, -11 (+/-)
Last night’s performance is one Terry Rozier certainly won’t be showcasing on his resume as he makes his case for a starting point guard job in the league. Rozier was extremely inefficient on both ends of the floor, forcing plays that weren’t there and failing to get a hold of any sort of momentum throughout the night.
Marcus Smart (14:39)- 3 points, 1/7 FG, 1/7 3-PT FG, 1 rebound, 2 assists, -13 (+/-)
Granted, this was a return to in-game action and the playoff debut for Marcus Smart. However this was one of the ugliest performances offensively from the teams most elite defender. Smart looked completely lost, trying to force and overthink several plays leading to turnovers and poor shot selections.
