You could argue that even before seeing the injury report that this could be viewed as a schedule loss. 3rd straight road game, 2nd half of a road back to back in Boston is difficult for any team to overcome.

Celtics coming in off 2 days rest(Kyrie was super fresh too) is the cherry on top.

The fact that we even kept it interesting till the 4th, is something to feel good about.

Nets fans suffer from low expectations. Why exactly should we feel good about getting blown out by the Celtics? Boston isn't exactly some world destroying team. We lost a game that we could have won - on to the next. If this roster is good enough to compete for a playoff spot, they're good enough to beat the Celtics.

Ehh, expectations should be grounded in some reality.

We are not a championship contender, we are a fringe playoff team in a weak EC. If we were an actual better team, I'd have different exceptions.

3 road games in a row, 3 games in 4 days and we had to play a rested Celtics team on the road, all while missing key players. That is a tough set of circumstances for ANY team, much less a young, growing Nets team.

We competed and that's all you can really ask for. We were clearly fatigued. We were playing crazy lineups by force. Faried and Graham alone were 2-12 from 3 ffs.

Let's see how we play them next Monday, before being overly critical.

The team is missing half of their rotation on the tail end of a back to back that involved travel from Chicago to Boston. That was a tall task last night. I don't think being realistic = low expectations. I mean we had Faried, Graham and Pinson playing.

When we've got Harris, Carroll, RHJ, Crabbe and hell even LeVert out there with the rest, I don't think anyone is going to sit here and not give us a chance to win versus them.

Wish we got this game this was the game I really wanted we all know why. We had a lot of injuries and back to back is tough. Hopefully we get the next ones. This dude Graham missed like all his 3s? He just kept chucking them up and some of those he was wide open.

Damn they asked Kenny about Rodi's performance and he didn't seem happy at all. He was basically like okay the offense was nice but we need him to rebound and defend. 1 rebound, no steals. He needs to get back to his original role. Maybe as critical as I've heard him be of a player. He's normally very positive or neutral on guys who are struggling.

Maybe Rodi was a little too happy in the locker room after a blowout. Kenny seemed upset.

Kenny is a smart guy. Egos need to be kept in check. You can't be happy about getting stats if the team suffers when you're on the floor.

Well I was just speculating about Rodi being happy. I've just never heard him be so pointed with his criticism. He usually spins it in a positive way.
