Boston Celtics at Brooklyn Nets Round 1 Game 1 5/22/21

We can’t slack off the defensive intensity for a second they have too much firepower

[liam]

Let’s goooo!!!!

WOOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Somebody]

We gotta realize that holding them to 16 points is not sustainable. Still, amazing effort though. Gotta weather the big run coming soon!

Our offence has looked dire - Tatumball and Smart trying to dribble circles around Brooklyn's guards instead of posting Kryknee up is really jamming our attack.

Good thing Nets defense is putrid. We got to capitalize on that

Yeah this Nets team is a very flawed squad - I wasn't joking when I said we could win this series if we were coached properly.

[Chief]

Jabari Parker. Let’s go!

CBS made a brilliant rotation decision

[BringToughnessBack]

Well this is awfully fun so far.

So far, it is pretty pretty good!

[tstorey_97]

So, we just didn't play Parker cuz we didn't want the Nets to prepare for him? Like a Belichick thing?

Nets Big 3 - 5 of 21 with no 3s.

[nickagneta]

I wonder if Nets fans on SBNation are jumping all over their Big 3 because they are going all iso, missing threes and have facial expressions like they just don't care which, of course, means they aren't trying hard enough.

[RPGenerate]

Fournier is actually doing pretty well on Har_en.

[jpotter33]

Oh man even Jabari knocking them down right now. This team has finally realized they’re an underdog.

Honestly, I think this is a major component of this. They've played like frontrunners all year long, justifiably or not. Now that they've essentially been count out for this series, they're playing lose and with lots of energy.

The Nets obviously looking pretty rusty, too, though that's also the gamble when you play that much iso ball (as we know as much as anyone).

[radiohead]

Jabari would be one of the better “comeback stories” if he could make a difference for the Cs in the playoffs.

Defense is more important in the playoffs every year.

I mean they should be going iso, it's just that we had a 6'8 pogo stick pull off a defensive masterclass in the paint for a quarter.

hope so.  hope it gets back to Kyrie so he feels like he needs to quit on them and move on to a new team

Parker
Pritchard
Nesmith
