Brown and Claxton really messed up there by jumping

What wild last possession for the win. This is gonna be an amazing series.

For all the good he did, Kyrie with the matador defense basically cost them the game. Also, what was that last offensive possession? Nets deserved to lose that one.

Tatum's lock down defense on KD set up the game winner on the other end

That's where I thought to myself, next year with Ben Simmons the Nets will be in their final form. They really need a defensive anchor. It was shockingly bad defense on that possesion, the most important thing was to make the Nets bleed time, the worst thing was allowing a free layup.

Is Ben going to play the last 5 minutes of a playoff game though? Dude's getting fouled every possession unless his FT % improve significantly.

simmons could be useful for the nets, shame that he is soft charmin and this series could be over pretty soon.

The time awareness by Marcus Smart to not take the shot either before or after the pump fake was brilliant. Most people are going to take the panic shot there.

Nah bro he really didn’t.

I forgot Tatum was playing in the 4th quarter and then he made the game winning lay up.

Kyrie made the choice to not get vaccinated. We all know a healthy Nets team is a top 3 seed and doesn't play BOS in the 1st round. This is exactly what he deserves

Tatum deserves a DR Pepper.

Nets legitimately blew it. May have cost them the series.

Seems like a growing up moment for Tatum. He sonned KD today.

Great game, happy for Tatum.

As great as Kyrie was, he had tunnel vision on that last possession. He desperately wanted to take a shot there.

He completely botched the Nets' final possession tho by burning the shotclock trying to iso out of a double. Mind you he did this while having Kevin F'n Durant as an option

Kyrie is an all-time elite one-on-one offensive player, he's even a decent man defender, but his BBIQ is missing something when it comes to the team game

Noway is Durant going to have this poor of game ... I think Nets will win this in 6 games. Tonight was Kyrie night, but I'm expecting Durant to be allot better next game.

Bad defense by Brooklyn allows brown to score way too easily.

And this 2-7 is the best first round amtxhup in playoff history.

Nets and Celtics, if you started the season agains all healthy, are probably both 58 win teams. This is an ECF level first round game.
