C's lucked out on a last second buzzer beater when KD was having probably his worst playoff game ever. Backdoor sweep most likely, but ill give them another game as the Nets try to integrate Simmons in game 4

KD, just shoot the ball and stop dribbling it.

Ime has the big task of getting the Celtics dominate on the boards again. We can win this that way, and if the 3s start to fall. But credit to the Nets who are playing well

If the Celtics would play the whole game the way they play in the last minute of each quarter, they wouldn't be down double digits.

I’ll take only being down 10. That was as bad as we could play aside from a few spurts

Cs did well to cut the lead down to 10. It was danger zone down 17 at one point. Their end of Q details have been great this series.

Quiet as its kept, KD dribbles the ball high by default, so if you have quick hands you can strip him on his drives. I've seen this going back to his early career actually

I mean if they miss a call on one end of the floor they should go out of their way to intentionally miss another?


Maybe don’t miss the obvious call in the first place.

10-point deficit that feels like a 20-point one. Nets should be up by more, especially with Dragic going nuts.

But I said before the game that BKN was gonna win and I’ve seen nothing to change my mind. Playoffs are where stars are supposed to shine and Boston’s stars don’t do enough.

That late push by Boston was huge, they really needed that. Gonna be an intense series.

Imagine if LeBron was having the kind of game Kyrie is. Well we don't have to imagine, because he did in the Finals over 10 years ago and haters have been using that against him since. This is the difference between a first option and a second option. Maybe we can stop this nonsense of Kyrie being the greatest scorer in NBA history or whatever the thread was last game.

Who saw this reemergence from Horford coming? He looks like his prime self.

Dragic too.

It helps that Nets are awful at closing out quarters.
