Eastern Conference | Round 1 | (2) Boston Celtics vs. (7) Brooklyn Nets

[greekbuck34]

KD with the worst half of his career. The game is tied anyway.

[mj234eva]

Patty Mills should have launched the 3.

[picc]

Of course, Patty sucks all 2nd half of reg season but shows up in the playoffs.

[Takingbaconback]

NBA needs to get all the refs together before the second game of series and get on the same page. Appears somewhat consistent, but the fouls that they are calling and aren't calling don't make sense.

[TheLand13]

What an insane pass from Irving, legit froze Smart there.

[mademan]

That great C's defense got 60 put on them with KD doing little, lol. Nets just gotta extend the series until they can get simmons and stop playing these gimmick all guard+C lineups with a 6'4 guy playing PF.

[JujitsuFlip]

Knoted up at 61 at half, wouldn't expect anything less.

[DonaldSanders]

Bad sign for the Celtics that this is a tie, they should have been able to lead based on how the 1st half went.

Mark Jackson's "give me the ball and get out of my way" commentary shows why he was such a terrible offensive coach. The warriors were always mediocre offensively under his backwards way of thinking.

100%. We went from iso-ball to the Kerr Motion offense and it translated to a chip.

[Lunartic]

Boston defense is all time level. Its all so crisp. The rotations, the contests, the communication, the organization. Love seeing defense played at this level.

The Nets are shooting 50/40 and we have an ungodly amount of fouls getting called on both teams, that's all time level defense?

Yes. Tough shots going in doesn't mean great defense wasn't played.

54% from the field now, really tremendous defense.

I suppose that also means the nets are playing all time defense too considering the Celtics have a lower FG% and they're tied?

[jfs1000d]

Way too many fouls from Boston. Boston lucky that nets turned it over. And, I think all of Boston 100 fouls were legit fouls.

Physical is good D.

25 fouls
Nets shot 54%

Tie game .

Meh. Brown and Durant haven’t really got going. This weird is awesome.

Lol that offensive rebound doesn't fall in smarts hands if claxton didn't randomly fall down . Bad luck.

Kyrie is smooth af

[Hello Brooklyn]

So now your original claim (which was top 10) has changed to top 15? Good to know. Although I'm sure if I did some actual research, I could probably refute your claim they were number 8 over the last 15 games (but nah, I got playoff basketball to watch).

And my point is that he's not an EXCELLENT defender. If you want to argue good, then fine, but even that's a tough argument to make.

Youre wrong as usual. But no surprise here.

I wonder what other good defensive players are in the Nets starting lineup lol. Kyrie? Seth Curry? Must all be Bruce Brown right.

*slow clap*

Good job, in a multitude of debates between us, you've finally been able to back up your claims with something that's actually correct.

Now all you gotta do is do that with your claims that Irving wasn't bad defensively in the 2016 finals, that Kyle Lowry isn't an elite defensive player, that Joe Harris is just as valuable as Jarrett Allen (and those are just off the top of my head) and you'll almost be at that point where you'll be allowed to be taken seriously as a poster again.

Clearly proven wrong so bringing up irrelevent things that you were also wrong about

[CelticSooner]

Nets should feel good. C’s need to slow this down some. Nets have no problems trying to win a track meet.

[SFour]

this has 7 game series written all over it

[PrinceCliche]

Terrible first half for the Nets, all the Nets have to do is take care of the ball and Boston is toast.

[Saciid11]

Kyrie is balling ....

[Ice Trae]

Zach Zarba blew his whistle more than Durant has dribbled

[bstein14]

Great half of playoff basketball. Looks like this might be the best round 1 series this year.

[knicksNOTslick]

The Celtics passing up the layup for the missed 3 towards the end of 2nd half allowed that run for the Nets.
