Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Sam Cassell were the headliners on that Bucks team that reached the NBA EC Finals against the Iverson-led Sixers in 2001
Mark Pope was also a member of that team and its “glue guy.” He started 45 games.

Doc Rivers went with AJ Green over Danilo Gallinari vs. the Suns. Against the Celtics, he decided to play Gallinari before Green.

#Bucks shot well, but #Celtics held them off the FT line (2 att.) and forced 5 turnovers. Great defensive pressure. A few of their own miscues prevented them from pushing closer to 40. Milwaukee’s half court execution has been solid. Question is always how long til the punch.. – 8:10 PM
