Some Nesmith minutes here. Let's see what he can do.

let Tatum play and take this as far as he can......

Even MJ didn’t start winning titles until he figured out how to make his teammates better.

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

Lol where's your source he's scared of his players?
Thin air lol?

Celtics fans are getting mad right now, but the bare basics of this equation is that that Brooklyn  Nets are a better team and obviously much deeper.

Right now we are basically trying to beat one of the deepest teams in the NBA with a bare bones roster assembled by Ainge.

We are not going to beat KD, KYrie, Deandre Jordan, Caris Levert, Joe Harris, Dinwiddie, and Jarret Allen by only adding Tristan Thompson and Jeff Teague with rookies. Lost Hayward and don't have Kemba.

This team is well coached, deep, and has the top end talent to succeed at a high level and they are doing that.

We have a well coached team without top end depth or top tier talent.

Scream at Brad because he's on the court, but you can only do so much with this roster

Alright, no big deal. Just drain like 6 threes in a row and we're back in this!

Tatum is a long ways away from MJ....

JB has been far and away the Cs best players in these first two games.

I agree! I’m saying even if he was that good going solo isn’t going to cut it.

And  KD has definitely come back stronger than I anticipated, but let's see how that holds up over the whole season.

How nice that KD hasn't missed a beat, while it took Gordon a whole year of playing again to get back to roughly where he was before.

You do realise KD had a whole year off right?

Right now Brown is the better overall player between the J's thus far in the first two games.

This celtics team just doesn't have the offensive firepower to keep up with this nets team.

It's great that Brooklyn's third, fourth, and fifth guys are outplaying Boston's best players.
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.'

Tatum's still missing that "take over" element honestly. We saw KD channel it in the 3rd. Tatum has a few good stretches here or there but then just disappears. Also, still no FTs by Tatum this season??

The guy I’ve been impressed by the most is Kyrie. He actually is playing within the flow of their offense.
