Net ratings after 4 games:
Looney +17.0
Rob +8.2
Wiggins +5.2
Curry +4.5
OPJ +4.5
Brown +4.3
GP2 +3.2
Green +1.1
Klay -1.5
Tatum -3.0
Smart -4.5
Horford -5.7
White -9.2
Poole -10.8
Grant -14.1

How is this series tied with numbers like that?

Looney and Timelord aren't playing that many minutes. If either of those guys could play 35mpg, then the series would be much more interesting. Warriors would be rebounding much better, but the Celtics would have much better rim protection.

That really shows the problem of the Nets here. There was so much talk about the Celtics shutting down the Nets on defense, but it was actually the terrible Nets defense that made this series so decisive. With an 116.3 ORTG you are always in a position to win a series.

I really want to see the Celtic's spam the Jaylen Brown high screen and roll next game. I think Celtics have been letting GS off the hook by not involving Brown more in the offense. I think he's been good at constantly getting fouls on guys and making shots in the midrange.

Celtic's have shown the weirdest dichotomy i've even seen in the finals. On one end they are allowing the opposing super star run wild and free, but then on the other they are doing nothing to eleviate the pressure from their own star player, and are just trying to plow through.

I think forcing GS to answer the Brown problem has finally arrived, and Ime and Tatum need to put ego aside for just 1 game. Smart and Horford need to go back to running the offense and running action for Brown and Tatum. Iso ball is not working right now

We really have to stop crowning people superstars early. Tatum is not a superstar. Him passing up that shot and passing it to Smart that led to him missing the 3 was the dagger. They didn’t need a 3 but kept taking 3s. Instead of passing, he should’ve went off the 3 point line and tried to get a foul.
