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

We’ve played an amazing half but can’t seem to create separation. It means we need to play with the same level of effort, if not even more so, in the 2nd half to pull this out

Can't ask for more. We're lucky to even hold them down at this point. Just need to grind it out.

Impressed with Tatum's playmaking. With Brown out, he's going to have to learn to make those plays for others, as they're really going to load up on him when he penetrates.

Doris makes me wanna jump off a bridge.

Take Doris with you.

TP - I was trying to find the right words to follow that statement but you beat me to it

I like Parker’s game so far.

We just need to keep on chipping away at their trio of isolationists with resolute defence and continue to pound them inside - drives against their weaker defenders are great, but I'd love to see Smart post up Kyrie a bit more.

Holding Durant to 5-15 shooting is impressive. Whenever he shoots I expect it to go in

[SCeltic34]

Really solid half, up at half time with Kemba in foul trouble.  I'm impressed with our defensive effort so far.

Hurt.

Alright I'll put my one comment about Doris here (I'm trying to complain less);

Days like this make me miss Tommy so badly. Seeing Fournier battling for that ball - I can just hear Tommy scream "TOMMY POINT!!!"

That's it. That's my Doris comment.

True but they did start at 0-0...nothing extra needed. Play the same and they can win.

I was trying to think of something to type and make it sound like Doris. then i googled "how to type like it sounds like you have a harelip"....possibly my oddest google search ever.

Glad to help.

This is what I was hoping for! Great D, Nets under 50 in a half. Working and hustling as a team.

Lets keep this effort up.

Yup, wasn’t a really perfect game but hey I’ll take it! We just need to play with the same focus and effort and see where this goes.

Where was this C’s team all season?

Not being able to scheme against a very flawed team in a 7 game series.
