Boston Celtics at Brooklyn Nets Round 1 Game 1 5/22/21

[PhoSita]

The Celts are so much better with Rob on the floor.

Rob can't realistically be expected to play more than like 50-60 games and 18-20 mpg. 

It would be a huge help if Danny could find a way to trade Thompson and get back another athletic rim runner / lob finisher to share center minutes with Rob.

Agree Phosita this  needs to happen.

There are always cheap bigs in free agency and there are some solid bigs in the draft which are in our draft range.

They showed effort for 36 mins on defense. They however didn't do a good job getting the whole team going offensively. Then Tatum lost his touch in the 4th and disappeared. The refs made a few calls that didn't allow the team to get aggressive on defense. The Nets did play better on both sides so surprised C's stayed close. TL and Tatum best two guys but neither played their best. It really looks like a sweep.

Yup.....he needs another guy his age , not a worn out veteran with bad knees and back to substitute in for him.

Rob has nice IQ an team play,  good passing skill ..that part is difficult to find .....he just was not gifted with the Bron or Duncan perfect body for longevity.

Timelord looked like a defensive superstar out there, I think he played his best

TL IS a beast, o just don’t believe he will ever become a durable player. TT is a fine back up but there is no depth when TL needs time off.
IMO JB would have made this a competitive series, but lack of bench would still get us in the end.
DA and BS have a job this summer:
Sign EF, acquire 1 more impact vet (knock down schooler), figure out how turn Jabari into a small ball big or acquire a solid 4/5.
