Wild game so far. I have a feeling at this point we could use a calm buffalo in the game.

I need a breather

Nets playing sloppy and lackadaisical. Without Simmons they’d need KD and Kyrie to combine to average 75 to win this series. That’s a tall task

If we hit a few shots this is already a blow out.

Durant will settle in. Tatum needs to get the monkey off his back.

The guys are playing a little tight on offense. Gotta calm down and make the shots they'te being given. But the defense has been great so far.

I'd put in White or PP. Need more spacing and movement.

Yeah, and us having to go small now with Grant isn't great.

I was liking the matchup with the two bigs as it seems we were consistently getting a small guard on Tatum or Brown in the post.

If Smart's pass was on target that would have been an easy layup for Brown, and before that when Tatum was down their they knew they had to instant double. We only got a foul out of it but run that situation 3 more times and you'll get a bucket from Tatum for one of them and a wide open 3 passing out of the double for the other.

Wish this team had some depth to not have things like 2 fouls on Theis change our entire approach.

Both teams are amazingly tight. Too hyped up. Need to settle down here soon.

Everyone breathe settle down you’re getting solid looks just get the jitters out.

Defense has been solid just need to chill on offense.

At some point then that's offense is going to get going. Celtics simply can't play this poor offensively.
