It's pretty crazy.

7/9, 7/11, 6/14

20/34 combined. 59 of 73 pts lol.. Foh. Got to be a little bit more physical on these guys but Jesus..

so the Nets having a better team mean we should just accept piss poor rotations.

Semi says Hello..

Lmao ...we have no players ...

then Play Smart and Tatum till they drop.. defending REALLY STUPID BRAD STEVENS is beyond (Choose a word I would get banned for)

Plus Nesmith > Semi and Parker would be a start..at least he would bring energy and shot potential

Less Grant Williams. He does nothing.

I mean that's exactly what we want him to be, the best and rarest commodity in the game, a true young intelligent superstar to build a franchise around

If we aren't the ones to capitalise after raising him from a pup then its on us

Yep, 7 FTs? Dude averages 4 a game.

Celtics have taken 6 more FT’s than the Nets. Refs aren’t the issue tonight, talent discrepancy is.

Ainge is the issue. Too many failed draft picks getting minutes and too many awful contracts being handed out.

Unloading Walker has to be a top priority in the off-season.

They are playing hard but the talent discrepancy is too much. Would have been a 6 or 7 games series with a healthy team.

Unloading Walker and bench. That's it for me. We need a bench that will produce on regular basis.

Harden and Kyrie are getting to the paint at will. And it doesn’t help they are 2 of the best finishers in the game.

Nets playing tough defense on Tatum. He’s getting rattled. Good plan by Nash. I mean, give me an open shot by Langford and Semi all day every day.

Get it to 6-7 by the 4th and it’s a WWWWWWWW

Only adjustment the Celtics can make is to fire Ainge during half time.

Would probably give the team a morale boost (except Semi).

Defensively, Grant was very good.

The adjustment is try to not switch Fournier and Thompson onto Harden so easily.. And hope they miss some **** shots.

This is not Brad's fault even with that rotation in the 2nd. Cannot even really blame Ainge. Missing 3 starters is hard to overcome. Nets have 3 dudes that can ball.

i dont like that we dont foul enough. i'm talking laying wood! give them something to think about when driving!!!

Maybe. Wings have destroyed them all year and with no Timelord to even make then think twice about the paint they have no chance besides hoping they miss.

Unless there is an absolutely demoralizing explosion of offense I cannot see us winning this particular ballgame. Gotta be better in CrookLyn.

Grant did ok but those Semi minutes were inexcusable! :nonono:
