Nesmith having a good end of game shooting.  can only hope it carries over to game 5.

GWill with his best play all series --> ringing Durant's bell.  should have done that in the first half

I get it, the game is finished, but keeping GWill out there is frustrating. Isn't there anyone else less useless on the bench?

Why wasn't Nesmith playing this whole game?

I think Brad was waiting for Jaylen to heal up

The Brooklyn defence adjusted to essentially triple-teaming Tatum on the catch, and Brad left non-shooters like Langford out there when he was doing nothing on either end. I don't expect them to win, the talent disparity is too great, but I do expect the coach to actually show up

My six year old son would recommend double and triple-teaming Tatum.

What shooters do we have on this team that can be trusted?  I would have played Nesmith more, sure, but what difference would that make?

None of us expect the Celtics to prevail in this series.  Overmatched or not, we DO expect our head coach to make the solid decisions to make each game as competitive as possible.  He failed to do so this game, and has done so many times throughout recent seasons.

Well this gamethread clearly got wrecked after falling behind 25+

Fact is Brad should have developed these players during the season maybe Romeo may have learned how to run a 4 on 1 break.

The top 15 players decided the season .

Pretty much a two state league .

concussing Durant would be a big help.

Again, just doing something different! We know Semi and Romeo were bricking, so play Nesmith to try and hit threes and play Parker to crash the glass and pressure inside.

It's not like it would have made any certain significant difference, but he didn't really try. I just don't understand his mystifying faith in some but nonexistent trust in others.

Brad should've started him. Probably won't play him in game 5. Who knows. Play Pritchard and Nesmith and spread the floor for Tatum!
