Welp. I guess the bad halves is very much still a thing.

I'm still stewing over the refs screwing Kemba on the 4 point play!

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.

Just give him some time, Kyrie will destroy all that eventually.

Bench is 2/10 for 6 points. Only positive plus minus guys are Brown/Smart so far tonight.  No sure why Stevens didn't check Brown in until 3 minutes in the second. He only player 15 minutes that half. Kemba was on fire, Robert Williams missed an easy at rim attempt on a nice oass by Jaylen which annoys me.

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.

I'm sure this was mentioned earlier, but those uniforms are awful. Does the franchise have a say in these silly "City" edition outfits or do we just have to wear what Nike says to wear - because Nike is the anti-tradition company.

Yeah, I can't figure out why I don't like them. Cool historical font, OK colour scheme, but they just don't work.

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.

For all the complaints there are a lot of those uniforms in the stands it seems. The fact that they're selling is all the NBA cares about.

Some days we looked really locked in on D and then other games we have stuff like this. Lately we've been letting too many team that we should smoke hang around...

Edwards needs to shoot those threes right off the catch and stop trying to drive into traffic. He looks so frustrated....

Want Kanter to be given more mins in the second half. He showed he can really help against the Kings. And Williams has been poor, so he should get in

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).
