They need to start Nesmith over Romeo, Nets literally ignore Romeo and use his man as a 2nd or 3rd defender to throw at Tatum on the drive. At least Nesmith is a real threat to knock down wide open threes.

We did it a little in the beginning of the game, but that snoozer lineup Brad sent out really really **** our swag and momentum

On a side note, Romeo making his free throws is nice, at least his shot isn't totally busted

grant has been one of our best defenders this game

I only saw a few bits here and there in the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter, but TT and GW and JP were plowed right through or around, over and over. The rest of the C's D was pretty tepid too--as if they didn't want to be seen too close to a player they knew they couldn't keep up with or stop.

Not sure why Nesmith didn’t get more minutes especially over Semi..

Celtics are gonna need everyone as a team to make their shots this second half to have a chance of taking this.

Was a 5pt game when the starters came back and the run kept going.

These guys are really **** good lol.. I imagine the starters will be relied upon heavily in the 2nd half..

Serotonin surge from spicy Pakistani food > almost as fun as that first quarter

Tell me about it. So embarrassing to read.

At this point I’m a need Stevens to suit up in the second half and run this offense.

Celtics need to hit their open shots. That's always been the issue with this team.

We scored 60. I think we hit enough. We just can't stop them..

I thought our defensive intensity dropped in that 2nd quarter. Pick it up again this half.

Celtics would need shooters first. *looks at Danny*

Ooof got a lil scary at the end of the half there need to win the third quarter. Keep it under ten going into the fourth and we have a chance.

Need an absolute perfection Tatum half.

The game shifted when Kyrie and Durant sat.. and Harden decided to go Rockets iso ball on us.

Fournier’s defense is brutal. Not sure how much of a positive he has on this squad other than being a reliable open three point shooter that is basically spoon fed

That wasn't a foul
