2022 Eastern Conference First Rd - #7 Nets at #3 Boston Gm 1

Kyrie Irving has been ignited.

[MrDollarBills]

That's what we want. Irving 1 on 1 on Theis.

[Hello Brooklyn]

LMAO I heard Brooklyn chants in TD Garden.

[cam24thomas]

Kyrie Irving making a mockery of Boston.

[MrDollarBills]

Why do we have Drummond defending Tatum? Put Kessler Edwards in

[cam24thomas]

Crikey KD, but we are so great we lead anyway.

[MrDollarBills]

We're winning with Durant playing terribly. If KD can get going, Boston will be in trouble.

Jayne Mansfield had an IQ of 160.

There we go KD. Keep curling

[Netaman]

We defintely have a better deeper roster then last years playoffs. and a more diverse one. Last year our only bigs were Blake and Claxton who hadnt played much. we had no rebounding. now we have Drummond. We have seth who is more then just a standstill shooter. We have dragic as a legit PG isntead of chiozza/james.

Issue is we dont have Ime/D'antoni. which is a big big difference. We also come in playing terrible basketball and with an abused KD minutes wise.

I dont want to hear "we won 5 in a row" that was vs. trash teams and we sucked in all those games despite the win.

This team/coachng staff needs to show me this is more then a .500 team. i dont believe it. I think Kyrie/KD will show up big but it wont matter.

We basically need to score 120 and hold opponents to 115. Kd/Kyrie will generate 85-95. where do the rest come from?

where do 25-35 points come from? is that seriously a concern?

13 points from Curry (averaged 15 this year both with phi/nets)
10 points from Drummond (averaged 12 as a net)
10 points from Brown (averaged 15 ppg in march/april)
4 points/2 dunks per game from Claxton (averaged 9 ppg this year)

those are pretty safe/conservative estimates and they easily clear the high end of your range.

some of those 37 points are included in the 95 that KD/Kyrie create. your getting 60-70 points from the duo plus another 10-18 assists. thats your 95 points.

half drummonds points, half currys threes. those are from KD/Kyrie offense creation. Brown creates alot of his own. beyond that, we need to find those points. We need closer to 20 from curry with him also generating some assits.

quick check in:
27 points for non-KD/Kyrie so far, with just 2 total assists from KD/Kyrie. 9 from Curry, 8 from Drummond, 4 dragic, 3 clax, 3 brown. and Mills not even on the board yet.

On the negative side i've never seen KD turn the ball over like this. Not worried about his scoring at all but they need to be real careful with his minutes. keep the offense flowing.

[cam24thomas]

Yessss and it counts.

[Netaman]

We're winning with Durant playing terribly. If KD can get going, Boston will be in trouble.

hard to envision a better start for Boston and they are down 3.

not sure how this game continues with fouls at this rate for either team, but boston can't keep up at this rate unless they get some crazy hot shooting.

[MrDollarBills]

Why was Drummond in with 3 fouls? Christ Nash

[cam24thomas]

Good chance to blow Boston away if Mills catches fire now.

[MrDollarBills]

Terrible call

[TheNetsFan]

KD and Kyrie have missed a handful of shots they normally hit in their sleep. I think the contact and aggressiveness has thrown them off a bit.

There's been a lot of fouls, and there could have been a lot more called. You would think at some point things would settle down.

[cam24thomas]

KD's legs are just too long, sometimes he doesn't compensate for that with enough caution.

[MrDollarBills]

It's insane how there was no call on that KD drive

[ArksNetsSince99]

Jesus KD has been terrible
