Or maybe they've thrown in the tell and just half arsing it out there?

It looks like the team is just going through the motions.

I hope not. They probably won't win this game because Nets, but they're only 1.5 games out of the last seed for the play in game. No reason to tank yet.

I wanna see a big half from Zion to make this interesting, show some fight on a big stage.

Im a huge Brad Stevens fan, but I am beginning to wonder if he is better cut out for college. This is the 2nd time in 3 seasons watching a Celtics team that looks like they cant stand playing with each other or theyve just completely have tuned out Stevens.

Stevens might just be perfect for college where it's less dealing with superstar egos and more an X's and O's game.

Quickness is somehow crazier than ever, he's bouncier than ever, his jumper his wetter than ever, his turnovers are as low as ever, assists are damn-near as high as ever. We are witnesses.

Kyrie it at his peak. He has never played this well.

The entire Nets team looked like masters of basketball in that half

The Hawks are missing their starting front line and Gallinari. It would be so sweet if the Hawks can pull this one out.

Oh hey look, it's Kevin Durant.

Durant is pretty good at basketball

Hawks are scoring. They need to tighten the defense up in the 2nd half. Okongwu with 11/2 and 2 blocks in the first half. Not bad for the rookies first start.

I'm not sure it matters what the defense is on Kyrie. He's either going to make it, or he's not.

I'm confused...didn't Durant miss 20+ games? How is this dude in mid-season form right now?

Durant currently at 100% TS. Sheesh!

no team is stopping the nets if they are fully healthy. Only thing to look out for is if they go 16-0 in the playoffs or not.

The offense flows so much better out there with KD instead of Harden and the net ratings support it.

Sharing the ball isn't a bad idea is it.

Nets gave him like two weeks ramp up time...

Durant and Kyrie look like they play in another professional league from the Pelicans

Ramp up or no ramp up. This is freakin impressive.

How is any team gonna beat the Nets 4/7 times. Harden isn't even in this game...

GSP · Post #58 » by **GSP** » Thu Apr 8, 2021 1:23 am

Kd is a cheat code.... these guys are gonna be a top 10 defense in the games with him and Claxton playing bigger minutes

even without Ingram this is a statement defensive performance. Havent seen Zion shut down like this this season

He isn't. There is no pressure on him to create and score so he can play within the flow of the game. One of the many benefits of playing in a stacked team
