Still this type of reductive reasoning isn't useful.

Exactly.

If the 2nd half is EXACTLY like the 1st half except KD plays better, then sure Nets win.

That's just not ever how things go though. Every quarter, half, game, series, season takes on its own unique circumstances and all the variables are always moving.

Yeah I agree.

I think its stupid to look at one thing and make larger conclusions about it.

Curry guarding Horford and boxing him out for offensive rebound are not going to work well

It'll be a completely different crew for game 2.

That's the point, it shouldn't matter which crew is on. The calls throughout the league should be as uniform as possible and the fouls/non-fouls they are making right now is strange. They need to establish what should and should not be a charge, type of contact near the basket (big disparity on how guards and big men are officiated rn), and allowable/unallowable ticky tacky fouls that make sense with how the refs will be calling the game.

Boston just looks like the better team overall. Way more well rounded.

Udoka made adjustments. Nash didn't.

No surprise. Weve been doing this all season.

The Nets seen to be too undersized.

Yea Celtics are too stacked compared to the Nets. Nets don't look like a complete team, wayyy to small there

They are too small and ask Drummond to do too much. He can’t hold off two bigs

That should be the goal but humans are humans. You're never gonna have total uniformity between crews anymore than you'll have total shooting uniformity between players.

These are milisecond decisions

He's just a ridiculous playoff performer and isn't reliant on refball so his game isn't impacted if they call it tight or loose

Also doing it without food or water.

Insane.

Also without a sane mind. If only he also had a brain.

KD picked a really bad game to no show (so far). This game was winnable. Still is, but feels like Boston blows it open soon-ish.

5 games is all we'll need against these clowns :nod:
