Well after that stretch of awful play we enter the 4th less than 10 down. Now we just need Brown and Tatum to go supernova and Kyrie and KD to cool down and we’ll be good!

After a good 1st half the wheels come off the Celtics train with a horrible 3rd quarter performance

Glad we drafted Nesmith at 14 to warm  the bench  ::)

It is crazy that he can’t see minutes... I mean why draft him in the lotto?

I wish team would have drafted a shooter.

We did.  Stupid brad doesn’t know how to use him but he’ll use a pg that is undersized and an undersized Pf ::).  Nesmith needs to play so he can get back into a groove

In other words, nothing's changed from last season.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

Durant showing he's still a the top player in this league.  he doesn't need the help of the refs this game.

fixed that for you. Imagine Harden on this nets team.
taking the ball out of Durant's hands would be good for the opposition. 

of course, the coddling Harden gets from the refs would just add to the ridiculous lopsided calling the Nets currently enjoy

New Summer league and mediocre defense likely keeps him on the bench. With Pritchard, you can see the hustle and a basic grasp of NBA schemes at least.

PG: Kyrie Irving/Patty Mills/Jalen Brunson
SG: OG Anunoby/Norman Powell/Matisse Thybulle

Blame Brad all you want, but Niesmith's defense isn't even remotely close to NBA ready. Guy played a zone in college and his foot speed is sub-optimal.

Obviously he can improve, but right now it must be obvious to Brad that his shooting isn't going to make up for his undeveloped defensive skillset currently

Imo it was a bad pick, but hey what do I know

I can think of two instances this game (end of the first half and his final drive in the 3rd) that could have easily resulted in FTs. Not sure what it’ll take for him to get star calls, I guess all NBA at 22 isn’t enough.

Imagine the Celtics' talent with a coach who demanded disciplined play and who was not afraid of his players.

I still believe that Tatum needs to get on a weight program... cannot finish through traffic.
