If the Nets pull this off I might really have to consider whether the earth might be flat.

Dragic making some interesting choices.

Yeah on both of those plays he probably should have just dribbled out to reset. On the first play he could have tried to go up and get a foul call, the second he should never have forced the shot.

He's been great, tbf.

[SilasCoade 2622]

Claxton's been great too.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

kyrie robbed of top 75 status, what a magnificent baller. 

KD not having a good game, 8-21 so far and 5 TO. Gets easily beat off the dribble by the Celtics excellent perimeter players.  KD needs to step up with 30-40 in this series. 

What is the status of Blake G and LMA? Too old to play? Injured? 

The most important NBA playoff injury is F Robert Williams with his explosive inside plays, blocks and dunks.

Lulz

[SilasCoade 2622]

Tatum having twice as many FTs as KD is ridiculous to anyone actually watching how this game has been played.

should play those 2 in Q1 to see if they are clicking. If not, bench the rest of the game, if clicking they could really help the cause. 

[Zeus 6848]

Theis? More like Cries

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Kyrie fasting during Ramadan, no food or water since sunrise. 

every game this series will be 1 possession.  Best Rd1 series of all time IMO.

Nash needs to make them run offense not iso ball

Lol these officials are a joke, as per usual.

Yeah KD hasn't been good but Boston has gotten away with a whole lot on him.

Blake is trash. He brings nothing. LMA not a good matchup for the Celtics and might still be dealing with the injury.

He could have given one of them some minutes in the 3Q when they were getting torched on the boards against Horford and Theis.

Hot damn KI…cold blooded

[Reynolds Woodcock 5085]

Kyrie is a weirdo no doubt, but big props for showing up to a place that hates your guts and behaves as aggy as a Celtics fans behave, and just ripping their fucking hearts out

yeah but is he even a good rebounder? He's not a big effort dude.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8975]

Holy shit!! What a finish

[crony 377]

Fuuuuuck

[Js1 87174]

Wowza 

[ztejas 44223]

Great game but the hand checking all game was such bullshit.

Or not.....

[SilasCoade 2622]

If the refs are going to let them play KD this way the whole series the Nets have no chance.

The refs decide every game it's such a silly sport

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

KD 9-24, 23 points and 6 TOs.  He needs to really step up, despite whatever D is on him. He's also a big defensive liability. 

Kyrie can't play superhuman every game; probably need Curry and Patty Mills to hit some big shots and play Blake/LMA Nash!

KD is more to blame today

[aggie08 21792]

Day 2 of the playoffs, and we already have "every game is fixed" and "KD is a defensive liability" hot takes. That's gotta be some kind of record.

No he isn't. 

Durant was bad. Bruce Brown was really bad. Claxton is painful from the line. I think if anything I like the Nets a bit more than I did going in though. They have a big experience edge and almost won a game Boston should have closed fairly easy. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8975]

lol ggs Chicago

Dude they have KD and Kyrie. Not even close to over.

Oh wait...

[ztejas 44223]

So I didn't watch any of this game. What issues was Milwaukee running into? 10/38 from 3 and 21 turnovers tell me CHI was playing some nice perimeter D. 

Good ol playoff DeMar going 6/25.

I like Kyrie I just wish he believed in fewer insane conspiracy ideas.

Also - after thinking about the game more - it's funny how a healthy and engaged Ben Simmons solves basically all of the Nets issues from today. Not sure he'll be worth a shit if/when he plays this series but they could be something else next season with him and Harris back.

Clippers might’ve made their game with Phoenix at least interesting

[Zeus 6848]

Damn you can just KO a guy with your shoulder no biggie lol

[ztejas 44223]

CP with 19 in the 4th. God damn.

Here's the clip because I missed it.

I mean... wtf dude. Take your medicine and don't fuck up the rest of the playoffs for everyone else.

Lol Shaq talking about being a consummate professional on TNT. 

Give me a fucking break dude...

Refs even reviewed it and said no biggie

What a joke

 

[ztejas 44223]

Essential listening if you're fired up about the Nets/Celts series. 

(They're both clearly in their cups btw)

Also funny - they talk mess about Mike Breen's call of the Tatum game winner. Mike Breen had a terrible call of Durant's shot in the 2017 Finals. Like all time wtf bad considering the weight of the moment.

Really? Common foul? That's a straight flagrant 2 in my book.
