Get them over the limit immediately and sustain no offense..bad.that block by KD was huge on Al.would have been up 8 I think.

Miami on the road is an easier series, in my opinion. Toronto we'd finish in 4-5.

Agreed. Brown cannot take any games off and so far he's taking this game off.

We're probably gonna go into a 2nd Thread.

Not hating, but need Jaylen to be much better when Tatum sits.

It's embarrassing they're playing Macklemore in the arena. smdh

My favorite part so far is refs allowing physical play against Durant. That helps in tiring him out and keeping him out of rhythm.

I like what I see from the Celtics so far. Gotta look up and hit the open man when you're in transition, you have the athleticism and speed advantage. Brown also has to stop playing down to the guy guarding him. He's the superior player, can't be timid.

It's interesting both teams have a ton of fouls called.

Neither team has much depth on the bench. Not sure who that favors.

The offense is brutal. I guess we will need Tatum to save us again...

5 Celtic players have more shots than Tatum, who has 1. Nash and opposing coaches always do this to us. Get it out of Tatum's hands. We need to be better with ball movement.

1 pass on each posession is not cutting it.

9-0 run.


Yeah if we can't figure out how to unlock Tatum we are done.

How does KD get the touch foul there and Tatum doesn’t?
