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

I'm just glad Ime made the proper adjustment midway through the 4th by getting Theis out of there.  Theis is getting caught in no man's land far too often.  He ended up + in the +/- but from my observations he really did not have a good night.

missed the game but have it taped.  popped onto ESPN because I couldn't wait to know the results and saw they were down 3 with under a minute to go.  can't believe the refresh of the boxscore showed game over and C's win by 1.  can't wait to see this later.  GO C'S!!!

The 2nd half is brilliant drama. Scores are levelled to start it. We get up by 12 to end the 3rd. Brooklyn goes on a huge run led by Kyrie, playing into the villain role. Then a buzzer-beater to win

[Neurotic Guy]

People were all over Jaylen early in this one.  He turned it around well.  Derrick White made some big mistakes -- I'm usually a defender of White... Still am, but the step out was indefensable.  I didn't like the no-take on the layup at all.  The rest of his game wasn't as bad as it sounds here.  Played some good D.   I'd like to see more Payton.

Al was terrific.  Marcus was terrific.  JT was terrific.

That was an incredible game wow crazy 4th quarter. ...

Very concerning lots of players taking elbows to the face not just in this series but others as well, refs gotta call these man.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

So great to negate an other-worldly 4th quarter by Kyrie.

Love that he was the guy Tatum burned on that last play. He just weakly grabbed out at JT, like a helpless little child

Fitting.  Reflects his true self.  Arrogant and selfish on the outside, but feeble on the inside.  We all saw that when he quit on our team against Milwaukee.

lets break their will this series payback

Both he and Grant were rough.

White made a lot of mistakes. But his versatility on the perimeter was key

[angryguy77]

Hopefully next game we get better reffing, ft shooting and don't miss so many givemes

[Silas]

Riveting game.

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Good to see you Lep, it's beer o'clock!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

good to be back. been awhile. it is past time to get past the ECF. we shoulda beaten the cavs last ECF we played them when we blew the series lead. then the covid year was nuts. it is past time we get to the final.

It's our time, lep. It's our time.

[Phantom255x]

Still ecstatic for the win but I have to say, White HAS to be better going forward in this series

Not asking for superstar performances but he nearly cost us the game with his bad 4th in particular

[nickagneta]

Yup. Throw the kisses JT



Jayson will win the MVP next year. You heard it here first

[Erik]

This was their best shot and they blew it. I counted 10 missed bunnies. Reiterating my prediction of Celtics in 5. I hope in their film review they realize that 1-2 of their plays + most transition opportunities are essentially unguardable.

The bad thing is that the Robert Williams loss is very apparent in this matchup as they can’t rely on that safety net and have to sag off Kyrie. If he can keep shooting at over 50% from 3 it will keep the games close like this.... but seriously if Kyrie is their best defender God help them.

Major props to Horford for a monster game today.  He secured the defensive rebound on the final play too.

Yeah, we missed free throws, layups, and some open jumpers we never miss.

Shaq is such a woefully bad analyst, hilariously so. I love seeing Kenny call him up.
