Nets (1-0) at Celtics (0-1) Preseason Game #2 12/18/20

Theis the **** potato is out there to play again. We need the good version of Theis.

He's probably exhausted after being mugged all night without being able to do anything about it.

This is where Thompson will be good

[Ogaju]

funny thing about fans that always rah for their team (rah rahs) is that they acet anything and then abuse the fans that actually want the team to be better and play better.

[Tr1boy]

Not sure how Theis hasn't whacked one of the officials yet. His safety is compromised by their inadequacy - make them feel the same way I say

He needs to stop complaining. Like everytime. Just ignore the officials

Now for the steady dose of Carsen Edwards and Waters to run through the second half.... this team does not have what it takes to compete for a championship. I will no tbe surprised if Tatum starts agitating for a trade in a couple of years if things do not change.

Was this your opinion coming into the game. Or is it substantially revised after watching 24 minutes of essentially meaningless pre-season basketball?

I keep an open mind before the game. I like to see the Cs win every game. I am quick to express my disappointment when I see bad habits that plague the team year after year. Why would they even allow Kyrie to burn Sage on their court?  That is disrespectful.

It's common in Native American culture. Just because you're unfamiliar with it, doesn't mean it's disrespectful.

What is disrespectful is how the Nets are making us look like a G-league team tonight.

It is common to come into someone else's house to burn sage?

The burning of sage on someone else's court is an affront because sage is burnt for spiritual reasons sometimes to drive out evil spirits. Is Kyrie trying to cleanse the TD Garden of evil spirits?

Taking about what’s his name just gives him what he wants. I ignore the crazy guy on the subway and you should too.

Yeah, he should just punch himself in the face and cut out the middle man....

Javonte Green, not an NBA caliber player.

Seriously, what is the deal with him starting? I understand wanting to keep Teague in his future role as leading the bench, but it is painfully clear that we need more playmaking in the starting unit while Kemba is out. Brad has to make that switch. Hell, I'd prefer potentially even GWill or Semi in there instead of Green.

Tristan Thompson:  I just signed with the Boston Cavs

Go Celtics!

There’s a balance there.  Some fans are constantly positive, some are constantly negative.  Neither are right, but the first group is probably more fun to be around.

It's not a house. It's an arena.

It's more reflective of spiritual growth and healing. Driving out evil spirits is a product of Americanized horror movies.

Female ref is straight up garbageeee.

[jpotter33]

Right back to passive, soft play.

The Nets are coming off a long rest and the Celtics were just playing in the eastern conference finals.

Perk made a good point about Smart...he’s always trying to make high risk home run plays when sometimes you just have to hit singles and play the right way. It’s probably because he hits a lot of home runs that he’s willing to whiff on many more.
