That call is SO annoying.

Harden leaning all up on Nesmith, who holds his ground, and a foul.

Celtics need more players like this not less

Its beyond stupid. He’s been awesome. We need offense, obviously hes going to shoot more.

They were picking on him all game. His poor defense negates anything he offers in offense.

There are players out there who can check Harden or Durant?

No but we have guys that can make them a little less comfortable. Fournier is an absolute turnstile.

If there was a team like the Bucks and Philly would be paying them big bucks! :lol:

When Durant is on fire like that you just have to live with it!

No one can check Harden or Durant.

Not because they are all time great...the way the League is reffed, you aren't allowed to play any defense against these guys.

Same with LeBron.

Jabari is the KD stopper

At least we finally started hedging on screens when he was involved. Besides, not like it matters who's guarding their Big 3 in this series, they're getting theirs more times than not.

Ya'll need to relax a bit on Fourni. Dude is our version of Joe Harris, but better at nearly everything besides shooting. Some of ya'll were expecting him to be Jaylen Brown or Gordon Hayward.. Got to lower them expectations.

Check out his playoff stats for his career.

To be fair, we didn't really play feisty defense in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. We only picked it up in the 4th, with the insertion of Nesmith and Parker.

People whining about the Nets playing their starters, they need these minutes together, winning this round isn’t their end goal.

Post #1158 » by **Bleeding Green** » Mon May 31, 2021 1:24 am

Celtics are just soft. They just let Kyrie get a tip-in offensive rebound. Where is the fight, Marcus? Zzzzzzzz.

Brad Stevens needs to improve next year or go back to college basketball
