What a bad last possession to end the half.

Have Pritchard come down and penetrate and pass to Tatum.

Pritchard was penetrating at will.

[HankYee]

Smart 1-9 from 3 ......

You mean have Pritchard play smart basketball?

no idea how we're within single digits after that half.  I'll take it.  better be some serious halftime adjustments to stop the Nets layup parade and to get this team untracked on offense

i agree. but what bothers me most is that the offense schemes worked in that the celtics had open 3 point shots. they just missed soooooooooo many of them. 

[Mahk E Mahk]

I honestly don’t know how we’re still in this.  As poorly as we shot, and as well as BRK did, we should be down by 20.

the nets are coasting and not really playing hard. they’ll only flip the switch if they must. unfortunately, the c’s aren’t putting up much of a fight and have the body language of a dead man walking.

Thats too simple for Brad

Have Tatum take a difficult turnaround J

[SCeltic34]

I can't believe that Smart took nine 3s.

You'd hope our head coach would instill discipline into our less offensively gifted players.  But nope.  Never has and never will.

[liam]

Smart 1-9 from 3 ......

Pritchard 1-2 with 4 assists.


Maybe he should get more time and have the ball in his hands more!!!!!

Sleeping beauty( AKA Brad) needs to wake up!!!

Nets FG 48.8% 3PT 7 for 15

Benches
Celtics 33 minutes 17 points
Nets  34 minutes 10 points

Let's hit a couple of threes for old times sake...huh? The Celtic's starters are 4 for 21 from three. Hey, they're still in this thing.

[Tr1boy]

Smart 1-9 from 3 ......

Killer

[Phantom255x]

Still in it, but how we start the 3rd probably determines how the 2nd half will go. Hard to think it won't be BKN coming out and just running the C's out of the building (and season)

[Tr1boy]

Is there any way to combine Langford/Nesmith? 

[Ogaju]

Nets don’t have anything to worry about..NBA has assured them series is not going back to Boston.

[kraidstar]

Honestly...the NBA manages its product tightly..the fact that not one nba partner has mentioned the Kyrie logo incident even when a hall of farmer like KG mouthed his displeasure is very telling....if they can control the narrative like that..do you really think they want this NETS team in TD Garden again in this series?

I told you guys the third game of the season that they were anointed by the league and that you could pencil them in for the finals.

The league has dreamed about a dominant NY team for decades,  and you can bet they won't let this opportunity pass them by. They will suppress any narratives that undermine this goal, and their refs will pick the Nets up when they stumble.
