Nets (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round1 Game1 4/17/22

Irving is such a fraud - watching his presser. He is so in love with himself and his imaginary world.

I think he quite genuinely has a narcissistic personality disorder.

nets are way better than a 7th seed to me with all that talent.

but injuries are hurting them right? what major players are out for them? simmons? aldridge? would those two make all the difference?

and us? timelord?

Pretty sure Aldridge is healthy. He's just cooked

yeah he been around a long time. i watched him play in college back in 2006. yeah that is a long time in league. makes sense.

OMG what a finish. I had to pause it for about a half hour and then when I cam back to watch it wasn't looking goo. Kyrie is such a punk. I am SOOOOOO happy right now. Great win!

he has issues no doubt. he is cussing up a storm on post game interview on NBA channel

We were lucky to win this one--but good to see some luck for a change.

Man I hate Dragic---dude kills us all the time--but sits out the Finals vs LA a couple years ago--ugh.

Our bench guys gotta hit some shots-and NOT step out of bounds in crucial situations.

There's a lot of people saying the C's were probably lucky because Durant didn't look like Durant today, which is true. But I also don't think Kyrie and Dragic are going to play like that ALL series long either. Dragic was underratedly huge for them with 15 points, his shots kept them in the game in the 2nd and 3rd when they fell behind by double digits.

And yeah, besides KD and Kyrie I don't see their role players making a huge difference. Maybe 1 game this series they help them and win, but even today outside of Dragic the rest of the guys were meh.

Nets basically need BOTH KD + Kyrie to go off to win this series. They nearly won today thanks to Kyrie going scorched earth in the 2nd half

Agreed. That was close to their best shot. The Nets were incredibly lucky to get that type of a performance from Kyrie. He'll give you one now and then but has some real clunkers in between. Nets aren't winning when he has those clunkers.

This was a win they needed. A wasted and hugely hurtful lost opportunity. Kyrie only has so many of those in him.

Dragic might. He always turns into Superman when he plays us.

He also flipped off people in the crowd multiple times, and mock-imitated crying expressions.

I'd say they are more like a 4th/5th seed as they are right now with a healthy KD and Kyrie. A strong mid-seed playoff team who are a tough out but not a title threat.

A healthy Simmons would elevate them to title contender status but they will not have that until next season.

[Who]

I hate to be that guy, but I despise the fact that the Celtics are forced to wear their third jersey on their home court because Nike tells them to and Brooklyn somehow get to wear their home jersey.

I hate that too. 3rd jerseys should only be for regular season unless the team chooses to to use it in the playoffs + away teams should never wear their home jersey on other team's home courts.

let it go. it may not be our classic white but after the green the black is the next best jersey.

SMARTACUS speaking now at podium!

So it is, in fact, Nike calling the shot on which uniforms we wear ?

If so, just makes me despise that company even more. We need to be out there in our traditional home whites - long recognized as one of the most iconic jerseys in all of sports. Those "city edition" things should be banned. Always about the dollar.

Hahaha a picture that says a thousand words.
