Celtics (0-1) at Nets (1-0) Round 1 Game 2 5/25/21

[hpantazo]

For the 2nd half they need to:

- take care of the ball better and not give the Nets transition opportunities where Harris killed us in the 1st quarter
- show more energy and communication on defense
- give Tatum more P&R opportunities so he's not constantly having to go 1v1 iso vs Durant
- start hitting some open shots - we've gotten some decent looks but they haven't gone in
- SHOW SOME PRIDE

I'd settle for clothesline somebody instead of smiling while you get your butts kicked

Well Charles just said this will be a 4 game sweep so maybe there's a chance we do come back in this series

[Ogaju]

Charles just called sweep..he must be reading this board last week.

It was only a matter of time before we turned Joe Harris into Ray Allen.

For the 2nd half they need to:

- take care of the ball better and not give the Nets transition opportunities where Harris killed us in the 1st quarter (9 turnovers in a half you're not going to win vs a team like this)
- show more energy and communication on defense
- give Tatum more P&R opportunities so he's not constantly having to go 1v1 iso vs Durant
- start hitting some open shots - we've gotten some decent looks but they haven't gone in
- SHOW SOME PRIDE

Good break down

We need a McHale moment! TIMELORD can't do it all! well, he can but not by himself!

He got tired of picking the Celtics twice I guess

[slamtheking]

first half was an prime example of our inept offensive scheme.  too many guys that aren't hitting shots.

defense needs to tighten up a lot. 

I don't see them coming back to get this one but let's see who comes out with an attitude that getting blown out in this game is not an option

Maybe put in someone like Tacko to clothesline Durant and put him on his backside. Tacko would be ejected but it's not like we would be using him anyway

C's come to play with ZERO urgency 80% of the time.....you get stomped in the playoffs this way.....Ainge's fault 100% for allowing this to happen....Bad drafting, hiring a college coach who's afraid to yell at his players (Doc would make these ****s play harder)

I think this bad habit was formed early in the season. The team just quits playing and always has an excuse, be it injuries, covid, or whatever. No matter what those reasons are, it’s still not an excuse  for the five guys in the court to stop playing hard. The young guys should relish the opportunity to play and show that they belong in the NBA. I really hope big changes are in store in the off season. And if we get swept in embarrassing fashion, Brad should at least tender a courtesy resignation.

Smart and Langford 0-6

Pritchard and Nesmith 0-2

Smart and Langford 0-6

Pritchard and Nesmith 0-2

Tatum 2-10 that's the killer

[Ogaju]

Most of y’all can coach the Cs and not do any worse in this series...you know Brad threw in the towel when he challenged the ref’s call in the second quarter.

That's the spirit!

It sucks seeing a team able to totally gameplan for him without Brown around to help offset that.

or Kemba or Fournier do anything to draw attention from Tatum
