NBA Playoffs, Rnd 1: Nets (2) @ Celtics (1) – 7:00PM, Sun. 05-30-21

[Froob]

Can’t say we didn’t try. We are playing hard way behind with two mins to go.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Good run to make this score a little more respectable lol

[Feed Your Head]

Tatum is working his ass off on both ends. I hope the questions of him “wanting it enough” die a slow death.

[CelticsPride18]

Tatum and a bunch of g-leaguers dropping 130 on the Nets. Bucks will average 150 per game.

[Celts17Pride]

Anyone blaming Marcus Smart in this series should be embarrassed. Fighting like crazy. Averaging 19 ppg, 5 apg, over 50% shooting.

Celtics need more players like this not less

Its beyond stupid. He’s been awesome. We need offense, obviously hes going to shoot more.

It’s embarrassing

[zoyathedestroya]

Wish we had two more Tatums and five more Smarts

[Celtics_Champs]

Tatum might hit 40 and overshadow Kyrie.

I’m okay with this.

[Bleeding Green]

They were picking on him all game. His poor defense negates anything he offers in offense.

There are players out there who can check Harden or Durant?

No one can check Harden or Durant.

Not because they are all time great...the way the League is reffed, you aren't allowed to play any defense against these guys.

Same with LeBron.

Why don't other players do it, then? Why doesn't Semi Ojeleye do it for instance?

[moonie_mcgee]

We play so much better when Fournier is on the bench. His defense was indefensible

If he's resigned and starting next year a lot fans are gonna be pissed. Starting now, Ainge needs to man up, admit his mistakes, and fix them. I don't see it happening through UNLESS he goes for the big, all in moves around Tatum as he did in 2008 with Pierce.

[Ben-N1ce]

Playing hard can't make up this type of talent gap.

It’s embarrassing

He took 2 bad shots in a pre season game he needs to be traded.

[SmartWentCrazy]

Playing feisty defense and they are still going to hang 145 on us.

To be fair, we didn't really play feisty defense in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. We only picked it up in the 4th, with the insertion of Nesmith and Parker.

To be fair, you literally cannot defend KD. And Kyrie is near impossible when he’s in the zone. And James Harden is one of the best offensive players ever.

And were missing Jaylen, RWIII and have a 36M anchor at PG.

Wtf did you expect

He should have shot it more if anything, but he wanted to get other guys looks.

[Captain_Caveman]

Kyrie wants that 40.

[CelticsPride18]

This is some shameless stat padding by the Nets.

[Celts17Pride]

The refs “protect” Harden, Irving and Durant so much. Can’t play defense in the NBA anymore.

Thank you Adam Silver for turning the NBA into such a joke

[Hal14]

Proud asf of these guys right now man. This is a historically good offensive team and we never stopped competing.

yeah. it would have been so easy to pack it in and give up when we we were down 24 with 5 mins to go in the 3rd quarter.

But like you said, we kept on battling hard and have cut the lead to 15..

[bisme37]

I'm pissed Smart scored points wtf

[dkb9696]

Wish we had two more Tatums and five more Smarts

When Steve Blake 2.0 is all Celtics fan rave about, then something must be wrong. The team just sucks outside of Tatum/Brown.

[Feed Your Head]

Tatum got hacked there, refs want this game to end at this point.

I don’t blame them.
