Nets (2-1) at Celtics (1-2) Round 1 Game 4 5/30/21

[SCeltic34]

Nets have two MVPs and another All-NBAer.

We’re missing three starters.

And yet people fault coaching?

Personally I've been willing to give Brad some benefit of the doubt - we're clearly outmatched this entire series.  But the lineup he rolled out to start the 2nd was beyond braindead.  Just terrible decision making.

This game is taking forever. NBA free throw capital of the world! It's the playoffs!!!!

Yes.

The fact that we're not expected to win doesn't mean he can't still perform awfully. He put a G-League level lineup out there that allowed them to go on their run that has been the difference-maker in the game, and he's been downright awful in his defensive approach to the switches. When the first year coach in Nash surpasses your ability to deal with the switches by getting his team to not allow the switches on the mismatches - something that we're apparently incapable of doing - that's a pretty clear indication that Brad is failing in that regard.

The game was lost with that lineup. Grant, Semi, Fournier, Pritchard and I think Nesmith or Lanford (can't remember). Inexcusable

[Phantom255x]

No Jaylen. No Kemba. No Timelord. Ugh.

[coco]

Our defense is so pathetic

[jpotter33]

Ah, I see the Magic 8 Ball has decided that Nesmith can actually play some in the second half.

[Chief]

Small ball=no rim protection

If you have to blame one person for this season it starts with Ainge. His lack of foresight put this roster together. Roster needs to be shaken up, trying to rely on your drafting department doesn’t cut it. Need guys that have been there done that in the playoffs.

[Phantom255x]

At least Game 3 was fun

A gentleman's sweep?

This......and stop drafting injury prone players.

I really like that minute when Pritchard was pushing the ball until Brad slow him down by screaming a bunch of crap at him. RUN!!!!~!~!
