Preseason Game 4: Boston Cetics vs Brooklyn Nets

Keith Van Horn · Post #1 » by **Keith Van Horn** » Thu Oct 18, 2012 8:45 pm

The Nets and Celtics are having a rematch tonight at 7:30 in Brooklyn. The game will be on TNT.... it's still unbelievable they're showing a Nets preseason game on national television.

The Nets are 3-0 to start their preseason (when was the last time this happened?) and the Celtics are 1-4 in the preseason so far. It was a great showing by the Nets reserves on Tuesday night, coming back and beating the Celtics in the 4th quarter after being down by 10 points with 4 minutes to go.

The biggest surprise of the preseason so far coming into tonight has to be Andray Blatche, who is averaging 17 and 7.3 in 23.3 mpg.

Brooklyn will be firing on all cylinders tonight with all regular starters ready to go, and there is even word that we may see Brooks in action tonight. Stackhouse will be out as will Watson.

OT: Would anyone like to see the Celtics do the same thing the Nets did on Tuesday, and sit their starters against the Nets starters?

I was thinking of going but guess what? The game is sold out to capacity. 18,000+ will be there.

Wiz fan back in here, I talked some smack and game talk with Nets the other day but after seeing the Nets/C's game this morning it looks like you guys may getta big steal with Blatche. He looked really good against BOS. I thought because he was playing us the other day he would play with a chip on his shoulder and that would be it but he really looks good.

As I said before Barclays Arena looks good, hope you guys have success unless the Wiz make the playoffs then its WAR!!!

Four possessions, three turnovers which lead to easy baskets. As bad a start you'll see.

Yup... Fire Avery, trade Lopez and Wallace.

Sorry... I'm still bitter about that stupid Yankees team.

I'm actually a serious Yankees fan and that display they put on during the ALCS was *In my SAS voice* AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!!!

Get Rid of A-Rod (Sick of this Diva) and Swisher and convince Granderson that the postseason is more important than the regular season.

Have to say, although the team is not playing well and looks to really be holding back, nobody seems selfish. And that is a good thing.

Shots are mostly good looks, but no one's taking care of the ball.

G wallace needs to seriously change his shooting mechanics.
