I am expecting a rough/rusty first quarter.
...that's when the Nets will be most dangerous taking advantage of Cs week off and TL absence.
JB is known to have "hot" shooting starts.  This would be a good time to keep that up.

I'm also expecting a rough start. This might be the game where the Nets have the biggest advantage.

Huge series for Tatum and Brown. The Nets punked us last year, figuratively and literally. It will be a big step forward if the C's can pay back the favor this time. And it will be huge for the organization and our national reputation. Which sadly matters if you want fairly officiated games in this league.

I’ve been watching hype videos all morning long. Not sure I can wait another three hours!

This reminds me a lot of the Cavs ECF 3 years back. We're facing one truly great player with an underwhelming supporting cast.

We can get the shots we want. Just need to convert them this time around.

Am I the only one here hoping for a Simmons return in the series?
It will mess up their chemistry so much 😂

Can you imagine removing Bruce Brown from their lineup in favor of Simmons?  I see that as a net loss for the Nets 😂

As an impartial NBA Fan this series would be AMAZING

But as a Celtics fan, it will be the most stressful series I have experienced in a long time. ugh.

Stressful, yes. But potentially glorious

I’m nervous and I’m not even playing
