Thank God for Naz Reid. His quick decision-making and cool head will be needed.

Reading the play by play at work.
A lot of turn overs for one quarter.

This is playoff atmosphere. To win this game the team is going to have to be on point. Very few mental mistakes, no room for bad decisions, or sloppy play. This is what separates the truly great teams from the decent ones.

The Celtics are playing at a level the Nuggets were last post-season. You can't be looking like an amateur against at team like that. If we win this game, it will be because we were mentally solid and kept it together at a high level.

This should be a game that kat gets 20 minutes and Naz gets 30+

KAT gets the most bs calls called against him on a regular basis. I know his antics are why but it's still absurd.

He hooked him, just a dumb play. It's year 8, you can't think you never commit a foul every time

Damn, offense going stone cold now. Tatum and Brown are on absolute fire mode right now. They are on everything and attacking without remorse.

Turnovers are killing us Tatum with 3 layups/dunks in less than 45 seconds

This is a game Ant will need to use that summer conditioning and play 40+ mins.

I think we still have too much discomfort in our offense to win this one. The Celtics look very honed in and purposeful on both ends. We still have a ton of awkwardness on offense. A lot of that revolves around Towns and his uncomfortableness that he is still searching for in this system but its not just him either. We are just really awkward of offense in general, we haven't figured that out. Naz has helped a ton because he doesn't need any help, he just goes and goes fast. The players that need more structure to work with are really struggling to get consistently good offense off. Celtics are not having that problem, they know where their bread is buttered.

You don't lead the league in fouls by just getting a ton of bs calls. It is KAT's fault most of the time. He has never learned.

This is a wonderful early game though. Really shows our warts and strengths and lets us see what serious competition is going to be like. No other game this year has been this intense. I love it for our team and the experience is invaluable.

Jaden always ends up shooting a fade away when he attacks the basket. Every single time

This Celtics team is extremely talented. If Porzingis can stay healthy, they are clearly the favorites in the East and maybe to win the whole thing.

I am traveling on business and ESPN cast is 1qt behind. Seems like JMcD still not 100%. Not playing well. We desperately need another scorer.
