Between Miami and Boston, there's been some great defense this afternoon so far. Very cool stuff.

Celtics are playing as well as they can and they are only up 3 points. They can't score.

Hot take alarm!

If the Nets average a turnover per minute they will lose the game!

Think that is 5 turnovers by Durant so far.

I think KD is playing in the wrong Steve system lol

Kerr's system made him look like a god!

Bad sign for the Celtics that they aren't up more after so many Nets turnovers.

Grant Williams is one of those 40+% 3pt shooters who I've never actually seen make a 3

KD playing like it’s Game 5,6,7 of the 2016 WCF

Refs taking control of this one early. Ticky tack fouls being called

It is still concerning for the Celtics that they can't score enough to take advantage of all turnovers they are forcing and the good defense.

Celtics fouling every single possession and calling it defense. LMAO.

Is this the strategy? Refs can't call everything right.

I hate when announcers do this based on a good play.

"Durant has become an excellent defensive player"

No.

Durant in his first year with Golden State was an excellent defensive player. Not great, but excellent. I'm not afraid to give him an incredible amount of praise for the work he put in at that end. But this year? With Brooklyn? To claim he's been a good defensive player would be tough to argue. He made one good defensive play. Hell maybe even great. It was a great block. But he's not an excellent defensive player at this point. Just stop.

Refs ruining this game with so many whistles

Who wins the series?
