Gotta wonder how the nets would look with a real coach.

KD & Kyrie are dumping the ball to the role players way too much. They gotta start taking charge of the offense

pure hope on you part.

Nah, they're the better team and the Nets are looking gassed already. Ignore my financial advice if you want.

They are clearly NOT a better them, they are however better coached.

Why? They're up and other guys are getting involved in the offense. It will allow them to save energy for the fourth when they need to be clutch.

This feels like a game 5 in a 2-2 series. Very intense. Some of the other guys are having to contribute because of how heavily the main guys are being covered. Grant Williams, Theis, Bruce Brown, Drummond currently leading the game in +/-. Some of their early plays may affect the final result of this one

Cs going to need Jaylen Brown to show up at some point though

Always feared when teams start doubling or put nearly all their attention on Tatum. It’s what worked for Dallas, Miami, and so far for Brooklyn during the Celtics hot stretch in the second half of the season. You take away Tatum, Boston is in big trouble

he's 5-8 with 2-2 from 3
Does it matter he's Bruce Brown"?
is there a fixed optimal number of shots, like a chart X for star Y for role players? didn't know this was against the rules haha

Lol why are people asking Nash to coach or wondering if they had a real coach…Kyrie and KD basically said they didn’t need one.

Really good game. Feels like a ECF game and not 1st round.

I mean if they miss a call on one end of the floor they should go out of their way to intentionally miss another?

He's an easy scapegoat for a team with a lot of problems
