I guess Tristan was right?

"We dont care about the regular season"

Lol

I thought he was crazy

He was great tonight also.... he was battling and fighting Len and Lopez all game. They were tired of MMA with him under the net

Man Payton is in the doghouse.

As he should be. Ish Smith was destroying him. Can't allow that in playoff games.
this was exactly what folks said before the draft. prtichard's biggest weakness in the nba will be against really quick guards.

i love pritchard, but he has real trouble on defense against really athletic guards.

He didn't even really play. How did he get Distroyed?

He got destroyed plenty in those 4 minutes. Ish looked like an all-star against him. If Stevens had gone back to him and allowed Ish to kill us again in the second half, this place would be going nuts with people calling for him to be fired.

Give Brad credit, he made the right call. I like Pritchard, but this was not the right matchup for him.

I think it was the right call too,since we won. I just didn't see him getting killed in his 5 minutes.

Gonna be interesting to see how Brooklyn responds to the pressure of the hype around them.

Clamp down on D and see if those punks choke

BTW....Nice defense from Romeo.

His defense is solid but he needs to be a threat on the other end.

The problem with Pritchard is some teams have found out his weakness; press him.

Watch next game. It's why he got yanked here too.

Under pressure, he struggles to create. Which is fair enough.

That's why Brad plays him off the ball so much. He can shoot but once Tatum went supernova we needed defense on the floor more than offense.

Tristan was a beast. Fearless,  physical, tough. THAT is the Thompson who used to drive us nuts on LeBroids teams.

Seemed like in the second half the Wizards were visibly shrinking back from him.

Two players with three 50+pt games this season. Tatum and Steph Curry. (Beal has two, including a 60-piece. Steph has the high mark this season with 62.)

Me either. Anything can happen in the playoffs!

That's why they play the games!

Love how everyone on Twitter and on the post-game show keep pointing out the fact that Brooklyn never had all three of their Big 3 in our games this year, yet fail to mention that we were missing significant pieces every game, too, including Kemba (x2), Timelord (x2), and Brown (x1), as well as missing other rotation players.

Its nice to see he still has some of that energy

Wish we saw it vs Heat.... but again celts probably treated that like a regular season game. Plus ref "soft" whistle

Sucks that Brown is not healthy. Also TL

It would be interesting to see a healthy Celts team vs Nets

No way a cakewalk like these tnt crew think
