TBH, I'm... baffled upon this here pessimism. Like-- RAISE YOUR HAND if you think the Celts will knock us off.

So, our forum lead is evidently suggesting that tonight's game is foretelling some bad-shizzle to come?

Dude-- here's some basic facts & reality for you: NICE JOB by the Celts tonight (and forever), but they are NOT going to beat us, and in fact, they're providing us some critical bonus time for our big three (and others, like Clax) to get more familiar.

Really, dude-- STOP WORRYING.
(we'll be perfectly fine!)

I have said it all season. It is going to be extremely difficult to win a title with Steve Nash as a head coach.

This loss doesnt mean much. Boston has a 0.0% chance to beat us. but it just underscores how awful a coach Nash is and how he can and will cost us playoff games.

The celtics literally have 1 guy you have to worry about. he was red-hot. and Nash made 0 adjustments. He kept letting the celtics get Tatum switched on Kyrie/Harris and then go 1 on 1 with no help. Just pathetic.

If the team wins it all, it will be in spite of Nash. Letting Tatum consistently hunt Kyrie in the post without making in an game adjustment every one of us saw? Terrible.

Alize Johnson can be used for rebounding.
Shamet sucks, bench him.

Claxton showed his rookie inexperience tonight and Uncle Jeff’s absence was felt.

Its bad... I mean celtics are doormats so its not a huge deal this series. but the bucks or the west winner could push us 6 or 7 games to where nash losing a game for us could cost us a title.

Uh...this is a huge overreaction. We stomped Boston twice and they needed a 50 point game from Tatum plus officiating in their favor to beat us by 6.

I nearly broke a beer bottle in my hand I was so pissed. Nash was just sitting there watching our guys get picked apart. Hard double teams should have been coming at Tatum all damn night

Watching Forbes hit shots coming off the bench as a small guadd, yet the Nets play Shamet who is really as bad as Jeff Teague since he’s streaky af.

I had Nets in 5, with Boston winning game 3. So far it's going as I expected, but I'm concerned about game 4 atm.

It’s not about the Celtics. We all know the nets will beat them. It’s about the bucks. The nets need to be locked in every game. I agree with harden. I think that game was good for them. It’s a learning experience. But I also don’t like that Nash can’t make adjustments. Or refuses to. Idk which is worse. If we don’t adjust the way we played the bucks in the last two games we will lose to the bucks in the second round.
