Eastern Conference | Round 1 | (2) Boston Celtics vs. (7) Brooklyn Nets (BOSTON WINS 4-0)

[10DayContract]

Why is Durant dribbling?

[Tottery]

I'm so torn on this series. A part of me wants the Nets to win so Celtics fans have a meltdown, but the other part wants them to win so Harford can get a ring before he retires. Always respected dude.

[JoeyLightYears]

It's wild how little Durant/Irving have handled the ball to this point.

Yeah from the talk after the last game I was under the impression Irving was the most skilled scorer of all time

[Sedale Threatt]

Shocked Durant only has 4 turnovers. Feels like he's throwing the ball around like a preseason game.

[TheGOATRises007]

I'd blame Nash, but Durant/Irving didn't want a coach, so it's their doing.

They got to touch the ball a lot more. KD needs to take care of the ball way better. He's been a walking turnover thus far.

[KIRAG]

Bucks watching this game be like

Yep LOL

To be honest for me it's more about being in a different bracket than the Sixers.
At least when you lose a game to Celtics or BKN you lose because of basketball reasons, you have something to work on for the next game. When you lose to Sixers you lose to refs and free throws and there's **** all you can do about it except be angry. Extremely frustrating.

I have to agree with the bolded part.

[Ducklett]

KD looks horrible.

[DarkXaero]

KD atrocious again, once again been a liability for Nets.

[skones]

I feel like every time I look at the TV this series (haven't been able to watch closely either game), Durant is getting stripped and losing the ball.

Brooklyn needs to space better. Boston is showing high and Brooklyn shooters are above the break. Smart and Brown are helping by swiping at the ball from his backside and they barely have to move. Gotta get the ball out of KD's hands at the top of the arc and move him to the wing where he can punish with midrange js and postups.

[Bird4Three]

Al Horford has been unleashed…should’ve never poked the bear, BB.

[IG2]

This (Celtics) is probably the most active perimeter defense I've seen since 90's Bulls.

[GusFring]

Yeesh KD

[BIGJ1ER]

KD's handle has always been overrated, part of why you can't use him as a traditional heliocentric offensive engine. Not every team has the personnel to do it, but physical defence and forcing KD left is his Achilles heel.

[skones]

This is fun to see from Horford. Felt like he had unfinished business with the Cs.

[PrinceCliche]

Nets falling apart beautiful

do what Knick fans do, hate. keep going.

[SeniorWalker]

To "get him going" the Nets need to run some screens for KD, let him catch quickly and shoot. Him dribbling against a team with quick and smart defenders hasn't worked

[MrGoat]

Nets should try playing their old guys to try to offset Boston's old guy. Blake and LaMarcus have yet to see a minute in this series

[Calamity_Cometh]

Durant is just being stupid at this point.

[Prez]

Bro wtf is KD doing right now?

[cjx]

KD isn't taking care of the ball.

Meanwhile in an alternate timeline, the no. 1 seed Lakers consisting of Drummond, Kuzma, Ingram, D-lo, Lonzo and Caruso are playing the no. 8 seed Pelicans ...
