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

I feel like this type of play is the reason we will look to move Jaylen Brown for an all star BIG. It’s not Kemba or Marcus. They both fit with Tatum’s game. It’s Brown who has big time value who can net us a legit BIG that fits with Williams, with Tristan in rotation as well.

I do love the Fournier, Pritchard, Parker, & Nesmith additions this year. All fit us well. Now let’s go find that Big (through the draft or on Minnesota’s squad).

A lot of bigs in draft..JB is untouchable.

Nobody is untouchable. We have Tatum. Give him the ball, not Jaylen. Let’s get a couple pieces that fit better and take us to the next level. Preferably a Big so I don’t have to watch Grant Williams (I love that Parker is getting his minutes).

I think the craziness and lack of Celtic winning this year might all be worth it if they could upset Brooklyn in this first round.

All the reactions from the national media would be like heavenly music playing in my ears.

I would be pretty okay with getting swept in the second round if we could somehow beat Brooklyn

I'll accept bowing out to the Bucks if it means watching Crynee and Har_en lose in the first round.

Ask Danny.

It's only 1 half but the Nets aren't as scary as they seem on paper - much like our Celtics team when Kyrie was on it.  Of course if they get hot and start knocking down their 3's the script will reverse quickly, but I just don't see much cohesion on offense, and their defense has always been suspect.

Celtics 9-17 from 3
Nets 1-12 from 3

That has. Lot to do with it. They’ve been bricking their 3s and we’ve made over half of ours. This team gets energized when they are making shots and when they start missing the opposite happens. We have to maintain the defensive intensity even if we start missing because shooting 50+%from 3 is hard to maintain over the course of a game unless they are all open shots

Yeah we aren’t going to shoot 50% from three many games in this series.  We need to find other ways to score.  It looks like Blake G can’t do much rim protecting, so attacking the basket will be key.

My fear is that Kemba's foul trouble could come back to bite us. We'll need him big time in the 2nd half to help JT.

Don't force bad shots, Tatum. That's a bad shot.

[SCeltic34]

Dude that is not a foul.

[tenn_smoothie]

Tatum falling into the trap of trying to be Durant.

[LilRip]

Weak call!!!

[esel1000]

Good block

[jpotter33]

Such ridiculous crap from the refs. That's a no-call, bobble by Durant. Clearly not a foul.

[Ogaju]

Too many fouls
