Yeah, testing the mettle of the team and coming out shining in 2 clutch games (remember we were supposed to be bad at those?) is super helpful, imo.
What doesn't kill you...

I forgot McLovin is a Celtics fan
I think Cousin Greg is a Nets fan but not sure
Afam wrote:Only way Kyrie redeems himself is by retiring with the Celtics. Can’t say you are going to re-sign with a team and then leave them afterwards and expect to be admired. He need to find a way to make amends and that’s by finding a way to come back to the Celtics and contribute in a positive way.

I’m impressed with the toughness of our guys, they weren’t spooked by the task of coming back because they know it’s a 48 minute game. A lot of playoff experience on this team, and it’s paying dividends. Hopefully PP and Williams are absorbing it and repeat those performances on the road.
It was an organizational fail to not throw that last game to Memphis (and the Grizz reserves played hard - we would have lost). We'll win this series but we're putting miles on everyone, especially our bigs. Not good.

Him and Richard Jefferson were like “Boston please stop booing Kyrie it’s only going to fuel him” foh with that soft ****, Celtics fans should continue booing the hell out of him and it came with arguably one of his worst playoff games of his career. This man ain’t what they try to think he is after 1 big game. He’s still very much inconsistent

I don’t think Jaylen was on Durant much (10ish possessions like game 1 I’d guess), but he was just a wrecking ball defensively, and forced at least 2 or 3 turnovers himself.
The switching defense has brought out the best version of Jaylen on that end.
I have to rewatch the game but I would say 75-80% Tatum, 20-25% Brown but I could be wrong
Nba.com will have the tracking data tomorrow morning, but regardless, the team did incredible on KD tonight. I thought in game 1 he missed a lot of shots he usually hits, but tonight? That was SMOTHERING defense.
