Celtics win by 10

I'm gonna bet they can't shoot three's at this rate for the entire game, especially if we defend the line.

Nets shooting was ridiculous in that 2nd quarter.

I haven't been able to wathc many games this year(this might be th 4th) but Timelord does not look to be the answer at C. Celtics  need to find better options. Theiss is nice but slightly under sized. Kanter is meh.

Timelord is giving the C's good minutes almost every game. He seldom is picked to be the scoring option but he normally delivers. He also is the best D-rebounding bigman of the team. He really doesnt look like he is much behind Kanter or Theis.

Celtics have to come out and take this game in the second half!

That unit to start off the second quarter was hot garbage defensively and couldn't score. Stevens is still playing with rotations and at times comes up with some terrible combos to start off 2nd and 4th quarters. I hope once Gordon is back those rotations get a whole lot better.

Its not really surprising the defense would be awful. You are taking out the C's two best defenders (Smart/Brown) and putting in maybe the worst (Kanter) as well as a guy who can just be shot over (Edwards).

Absolutely on point.

Gotta say at one point I thought I was going to go crazy. For two straight possessions, Stevens had a 5 man unit of Walker, Tatum, Edwards, Grant Williams and Theis out there and he had Walker and Tatum sitting in corners acting as decoys so Edwards, Williams and Theis could create a shot out top of the circle.

I mean, really Brad? Tatum and Walker as decoys when the 3 guys running the offense to create a shot were a struggling Edwards, Grant "I can't hit a shot" Williams and Theis?

I don't get it!

Brooklyn (apart from being on fire from 3 right now), are a really good basketball team. Great balance and shooting.

That's absurd. They're far from a really good basketball team. They're a mediocre basketball team that will be on the bubble to make the playoffs.

Maybe my scale needs calibrating, but I'm just saying that they have really good solid two-way pieces (Prince, Allen, Dinwiddie), elite shooting (Harris, Prince, Kyrie), a good coach.

[Chief]

Go big...Kanter and Williams...and abuse these dudes

[Neurotic Guy]

Kemba is great

im over the doris burke experience.

[ETNCeltics]

Sigh. Stop helping and leaving your man alone in the corner. They've made almost everyone of those.

They have a good team. They play hard and can shoot.

Me too!

Theis has his hands full with Allen

[gouki88]

Wow. Had no idea Smart had been so good at keeping the ball

[ETNCeltics]

Were it not for Kemba, we'd have already been blown off the court. D has got to wake up.
