Nets (32-35) at Celtics (44-23) Seeding Game #4 8/5/20

[slamtheking]

looked like a couple of offensive fouls on consecutive trips by the Nets.

I'm really impressed with Romeo.  He's had an impact on this game in a lot of small ways and some very good defense.

[Atzar]

Have to think Romeo is out there earning more minutes right now.  He's making an impact.

[jpotter33]

Super impressed with Romeo. He looks confident and purposeful out there.

I know Semi guards some of the bigger guys, but why not split some of Semi and Wanamaker's minutes with Romeo?

Run them out of the gym....

I meant, run them out of the bubble.

[Ogaju]

C;s with huge advantage in free throws. FT's are way UP in the bubble, to be honest its really annoying.

looks like they are calling the games tighter to avoid injuries in the bubble.

Team has picked it up big time since Tatum's 3rd - lead by Romeo.

Yep, and even though it is benefiting us tonight it is annoying. Seems like every game is like this, too. Has to be some sort of directive by the NBA for some reason, though it doesn't make sense with their push for a shorter game.

Whats really annoying is the sheer number of fouls that are being called because of contact that is having no impact on the play. Its resulting in LONG stretches in the bonus. Nobody wants a free throw context the final 5 minutes of a quarter.

I'm liking how this lineup is playing, both offensively and defensively. Gordon is playing well as the main guy, and Romeo and R. Will are earning their minutes.

[keevsnick]

Romeo is +21. Still its hard to tell whether he's good or if its just because he's playing the nets back half of the roster. He's earned some minutes against the raptors tho.

[slamtheking]

what was that shot by Semi?   

[Kuberski33]

Most interesting story to me for next season is going to be the Nets. They have a tremendous work ethic. Wonder how the Durant/Kyrie dynamic is going to affect things?

[jpotter33]

I mean, refs, you do know this is not about you, right? Much of this contact that you're calling both ways is incidental. Just let them play!

[tstorey_97]

Wanamaker 114 of 122 from the line this season ....yikes

[Kuberski33]

They have no one who can guard Kanter. Keep feeding him.
