Nets (2-0) at Celtics (0-2) Round 1 Game 3 5/28/21

[RJ87]

I just want Tristan to get tons of respect after tonight's game. He played hard and he set the tone.

Endorse.

He’s taken some heat and maybe he deserved it in the reg season. But he gave the team some fire.

He for sure deserved it in the regular season but I thought when we went down 15 in the 1st quarter, he was the only guy playing with energy and swagger.

I hope Walker gets it together Sunday.

Watching him I always get these late career Pedro vibes for the Sox. It’s not the same, I know, but for his sake (and ours) I want him to have a few of those vintage games that prove his excellence. Hasn’t happened yet though. Maybe game 4.

I expect the Nets to double Tatum more next game

Some of the other guys will need to step up

Yeah, was surprised they didn’t do more of it.

We got 10 points from the bench tonight....

thats not their style ...  but they may not have a choice next game

Lucky for the Celts that neither Irving or Harris even had a semi decent game. And Uncle Jeff is out of the 1st round minimum

Durant and Harden had 80 points combined. Thats wild

Hopefully the good version of Kemba shows up on Sunday and we can make them pay for doubling if they do it.

He looked like Cavs Thompson...the guy that was a pain in the butt

But also a little luck that Nets are short handed. No Jordan

[hpantazo]

Big props to Tristan Thompson, he brought it tonight. That's the player I thought we were getting when we signed him.

Yeah he deserved it during the season, but just the same he deserves the 'hustle award' tonight.
He was a beast on the off glass, just going all out the whole time, even when having to guard Harden or KD.
Really loved the effort from TT.  Just do that every game and he will become a hero.  We don't need that many points, we just need the attitude and hustle and effort.

Had to step away and missed the 2nd half of the game, looks like they showed some pride and fight tonight.

Durant saying they have to play more physical with Tatum....SMH

[slamtheking]

interesting note.  5 guys off the bench for the C's tonight.  All drafted in the last 3 years by Danny and all played well.

Hahaha - so hard not to respond with "what? only 5? FIRE BRAD!"

Works with "Fire Danny" too, of course.

ie more fouling him and more cheap shots to the face.
man I am just really starting to despise KD

Durant saying they have to play more physical with Tatum....SMH

Kd also saying that it took a 50 burger from Tatum, 23 points and 5-8 from Smartacus and 41% overall from 3 to beat them. I guess he’s right but still

Thats fine. Could lead to more fouls then

otherwise, Jayson will need to not shy away

Tatum has bulked up nicely over the past few years.   Durant is the one that would get a bruisin.  Same with Irving

My Celtics year will be 100% made if we take these kegels to 7 games.
