These next 2 series are gonna be ass after that. Is anyone besides their own fans even looking forward to Bucks VS Bulls or Suns VS Pelicans? Might be 2 sweeps

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

Eh I thought KD just didnt get some shots to fall in the first half. Second half they got much more physical with him though.

Wait- what did they do wrong… they kept passing up good shots to get better shots and it went from a 3 by smart to eventually a lay up by Tatum…. Yeah bad offense lol

It didn’t look good but take a second to appreciate they did exactly what you teach - get the best possible shot at the last possible moment -

So yeah aweful possession - lol gtfoh. That was AMAZING

Best one on one defense I’ve seen someone play KD by Jayson Tatum. This is what separates him from the other young players not named Doncic.

Only my dumbass Celtics would want the Nets. I can’t believe they picked this route with Tatum playing 45 minutes. Both teams are gonna be wiped out at this rate if they advance.

I’m fasting and my mouth is hella dry. I don’t like Kyrie but he and brown deserve insane amount of respect for how they are able to fast and play at this level

Let Celtics celebrate, but people should remember that was the worst KD in a long time. The chances of it happening again this series are pretty slim. I don’t see him being held in check that much in another game. He’s going to come out pissed off next game. A 25 point first half wouldn’t surprise me. I think Nets will take game 2 and this series will still go 7.

Horford's 20/15 was huge. Got the huge defensive board at the end.

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

KD sucked and Tatum was reading all of his moves

I’m looking forward to seeing Giannis

So much for Boston not being clutch.

They made the game winning plays tonight.

Even after Kyrie was unstoppable in the 4th.

Durant for me is still a top 5 player in the league (behind the big 3 of Giannis, Jokic, and Embiid).... but he falls out and Tatum enters the top 5 if the Celtics take this series.

Was also one of Jaylen's worst games. And Tatum only had 3 shot attempts in the 4th, including the game winner. Neither will happen again.

Not nearly as efficient when the deck isn’t stacked in his favour

Did you not see the defence being played on him? Tatum had him on lock.

The pushing, esp lower body, was really affecting KDs ability to get to his spots imo.

Gonna be interesting to see if theres an adjustment.

I'm so hungry sitting on my couch.

Imagine running up and down a basketball court at playoff intensity :lol:

Who wins the series?
