GT: Nets @ Celtics, 11/8, 730pm EST

I have zero graphics or quotes for this game thread OP, just figured I would get the ball rolling.

I won't be shocked with a loss, even a blowout, but I'm encouraged with the competency of this team thus far. Golden State and Indy have proven that pacey, variance-y teams can give Boston a hard time, and that's our calling card right now.

Win or lose, GO BROOKLYN!

[Stone]

HOLY S*** The first three minutes have been insane!!!!

[Dangun]

Shiii Thomas locked in on D rn

[Dangun]

Shiii just realized this isn't my thread and it was made before the one I did

[Dangun]

Simmons with that Kareem sky hook

[El Hespiritu]

It happens...

I am in search of some Bandwagon to jump on.
Didin't think about Nets at first... I'm pretty reluctant to watch tanking games.

But since Jordi Fernandez is a homie, I like what he did with Canada and I'm liking what I'm seeing from your team this pre Season so far I thought I might give it a try.

[Dangun]

Man it's truly crazy how an nba player is shooked up to shoot a dam jumper

[El Hespiritu]

I had an idea about Ziaire when he played for MEM:

Lots of raw talent.
Not such a quick learner as his talent might wish.

Since he never actually played consistent minutes there, it was impossible to confirm.

Pre Season games are not the best way to judge a player, so remains still unconfirmed.
Yet guessable.

[NetsJets]

It’s crazy the amount of versatility this team has. We have the length to matchup with them.

[El Hespiritu]

Their Guards are creating more troubles to your paint than their actual Bigs do.

Not a critic.

They are best NBA team til proven otherwise and you obviously need to concede something one side or another.
A tax that must be payed.

As long they struggle to run fast breaks and open threes you should have some (slight) options.

[vincecarter4pres]

Playing the reigning champs pretty tough on their home floor, got to love it.

[NetsJets]

Sick move by Simmons

[NetsJets]

Ben messed that possession up once he made that pass

[NetsJets]

Thank goodness Hauser stinks

[NetsJets]

Nets have gone cold

[El Hespiritu]

So far so good.

I remember other coaches putting Simmons as theoretical (non) Shooting Forward or even some sparse possessions as legit Power Forward but mostly for defensive purpose... even in those cases, he went PG at offense.

I don't think he never played 5 consistently before.
And he does it even both ways now.

Cam needs some fair share of ball and Schrödinger's Dog is a legit PG.
Still the three of them mix just smoothly.


Of course you concede a loooooot in the paint but having Claxon ready to come off the bench to deal worst matchups...

...it could actually worth it.

[NetsJets]

Good help defense by DFS

[76ciology]

Cam should have lob that one

[Dangun]

Dam cam should've threw that alley to clax... was wide open for it

[76ciology]

Good kick out by cam. But weird that Shroeder has to eun 2 man game and force Jrue to switch to Cam rather than Cam just attacking Pritchard
