Nets (32-32) at Celtics (38-27) Game #66 3/6/22

Nets playing well, but C’s should win this one if they get back to moving the ball around and keep up the good defense.

What good defense - we just gave up 60 points in the half ?

JT 3pt shooting is garbage right now.  If I am the opposing team, I’ll let him shoot that all day.

Hopefully our trend of coming out in the third ramping up the defensive intensity continues.

We're playing good D, and they're just hitting some tough shots over us. We up the defensive intensity like the past few games, and we should take solid control over this game.

[RJ87]

Brown's shot selection many times is suspect. Bobbles the ball but is determined to shoot anyways, leading to that awful iso shot.

He can be a black hole at times. There's always a few possessions each game where he catches the ball and you can tell he has no intention of passing it again.

ABC?  TD Garden?

My ABC signal cut out. Back now...

THX

He's 4-8 today...

Exactly. I'm happy with our offense but that defense doesn't cut it. I was hoping we'd do a better job shutting down this Nets team.

So the defense hasn’t been great this half. Not terrible because Nets are making some tough shots but also not good. C’s getting outworked by Dragic and Drummond and they’re missing rotations.

JB’s putting in effort but he’s not looking healthy. Lack of burst maybe? He’s getting shut down on his drives fairly easily. Meanwhile White’s intensity needs to go up.

Really weird take. I hope Nash is listening to you!

He sure had a good look at that 3 at the end of the half - they even ran a little play to get it too.

So 4 misses? Atrocious

good summary - right on target.

I hope Ime doesn't force-feed Brown minutes. The guy is not near 100% on that ankle.

On the flip side, you can also sometimes tell when he’s thinking “pass”. He’s already forced one lob pass early in the game, which clearly wasn’t there. JB’s generally more mechanical than he is a good on-the-fly decision maker. Thank goodness his skill level is off the charts

Half time show all about the Nets.  Please give us a break.
