For sure rather see him than Semi.

Need his energy and hope he makes shot. Semi or Williams minutes should be going to him.

Who do the Celtics have that they could send in just long enough to put Harden on his ass on one of those drives?

Again, playoffs are not for the weak

If we remember how to play defense again in the 2nd half we can be right back in it!

Feel bad for Tatum. They are trapping the hell out of him. Going to need 2 more guys other than Tatum to play above their heads in the 2nd half just to be within striking distance.

Smart is not the problem.

Maybe not, but his shot selection isn't helping.

He has too. No offense besides him and Tatum creating everything

While yeah, winning this game was always a long shot, it's a GT, people are gonna get caught up in the moment. And to be fair, rotations could be better, no reason to keep Smart off for so long, even with two fouls. Semi should also never see the floor over Nesmith unless it's garbage time.

Nets playing great defense on Tatum. KD and Harden, both long and big bodies respectively, are giving him trouble. Brad's gotta figure out how to get Tatum the switch on another smaller defender.

Hating on Smart for laying it out like this?

This forum suuuucks. Please go outside and pick up a ball sometime.

I think we may see some minutes for Mr. Kornet in the 2nd half, as Brad's gotta try something other than Grant down there trying to defend this crew.

He can only be so aggressive.. If we lose him to fouls forget about this game.

well harden is going by him off the dribble like fournier isn't even there. it would just be nice if he could stay with him a little better.

I've seen some stupid firepower in the NBA before but this has to be right at the top. You figure they add the right guys on this team next year and they will be nearly impossible to beat.

Tough that this is the talent we have to deal with the rest of Tatum's contract. Yikes.

Everyone hang in there, we're going to collect ourselves at halftime and win this thing.

Ill News · Post #696 » by **Ill News** » Mon May 31, 2021 12:06 am

The playoffs ending for the Celtics will be worth it if it means never having to see commercials of Wade's dumb game show ever again. I hope he becomes a terrible host lol
