I think it’s best to chant “bird brain” everytime kyrie touches the ball, instead of just booing him. That would really mess him up lol. or he would be pissed and go bezerk and drop 40 on us. :lol:

No way bro. Kemba is one of those knock off bootleg iron man's that they were trying to replicate in the middle east, would go like 18 inches off the ground and explode.

Going to be a tough game, I expect Harden to really set the table and then look for his scoring after he gets the rest of the team going. Tatum has really stepped his game up as he's worked his way back from COVID and taken on an even bigger role with Jaylen out. Tatum scores 70, Celtics win by 50 and Kyrie CryCrybaby Irving steps away from the team due to concerns about the virus with fans being back. Time for my morning coffee, go Celtics!

I am happy that we played hard and won the last game. But it is tough to imagine we win another one against Harden, Durant and Kyrie...there is just so much fire power...

Kemba has to hit his shots, its time he has a good game and gets hot from three, right?

And JT has to be the megastar again...

Honestly, need kemba to give us somethinnnnnng. Please god. Really if he could give us smarts numbers from last game that would help because I don’t see smart going for 20+ and shooting that well today. Our whole team is not gonna shoot that well again. We were killing it last game shooting wise.

Harden and Durant went for 80 points. It’s not like they had quiet games and they are gonna get theirs but we can’t let Blake and more importantly joe Harris kill us. If Harris gets 16+ it’s a loss. I expect kyrie to have a 30 pointer but we can’t let ALL 3 go off

This might be the last home game of the season, and I'm glad we get to see 17,000 fans in the stands. Scream yourselves hoarse, let those Nets know what a real arena sounds like, not the fake crowd noise they pump in to their lifeless crowd at Barclays.

I expect the Nets to swarm Tatum this game. They'll blitz him early and try to force him to give it up. Hopefully we respond with great ball movement and cutting to make his life somewhat easier. And for the love of god, I hope Kemba scores at least 20 points today. He HAS to.

Go Celtics! Don't let those 17k fans down.

Just came back from the future. Cs by 15. Grant Williams goes 4-6 from 3 pt range. Kyrie leaves the game at halftime to “attend to a family matter.”

I’m expecting the Nets to fold like a tent. Been saying it all year.

If they (most likely) get past us Milwaukee or Philly will both feast on this team, they have jack **** inside for defenders other than Durant and Nash is meh at best so far for adjustments. It takes a special level of douchebaggery to get me to root for either Mil or Phil but the combination of Kyrie, Durant, Beard, and especially a few on the realGM Nets board has reached that level for me.

Nets are a Tough Team.

But they Can be Beaten.
Obviously . . .

So if Kemba is out will Payton get a good game in on the series?

Or, will Brad go with minutes for Tremont for playmaking, pace, and maybe even his D on Kyrie?

I only expected us to win one game in this series but this is why. The Nets are just a mentally and physically soft team. Add Nash to that equation and they have tons of risks. I really can't see them beating a team like the Sixers, even Milwaukee will give them tons of trouble imo.

But **** my expectations. LETS GOOOOO

I expect NJ to lose to either Philly or Milwaukee. They can't even handle Tristan Thompson; wait until Embiid starts exploiting that huge hole in the Nets' middle. As for the Bucks, they probably can't handle Brook Lopez either, and they have no one to guard Giannis. Durant will try, but probably fail. Giannis will beat Durant down the floor repeatedly.

LOL, that assumes that the Nets will get by the Celtics.
