Nets (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) Round 1 Game 2 4/20/22

[RJ87]

For you believers in this thread - the team is losing to everyone but Durant/Kyrie HAHA - our players just regular season quality

What is your problem?

Don't engage the trolls, just report them.

[seancally]

Took a punch in the nose. See what the Jays are made of with a couple tough baskets down the stretch of the half.

Quit trolling. Get lost.

What is your problem?

You guys are quoting me first - I never had a go at you neither am I interested anyway. Not sure why you guys cannot face the facts of what is going on. Clearly we are playing horrific. Embrace it. Nets did better in game 1 too when we were the much better team and here when we are not good we are getting blown out of the building lol to not even Kyrie or Durant

[Phantom255x]

All we need is one good run and we're back in it. How we start the 3rd could determine this

[greg683x]

Nets will eventually revert to the mean. They have been shooting lights out for two straight games.

Or they’re a veteran team that’s turned it on in the playoffs

Being negative is understandable.  You're not the only one p---ed at this.

Picking a fight with people who are still optimistic is just garbage though.  Leave that crap at the door.

[Chief]

We took their best punch and are only down 10.

[BringToughnessBack]

All said and done...not bad to be only down by 10 at the half.

Agreed!

Amen to that end! Down by 10 seems like a win.

[radiohead]

Down 10 with the Js playing so bad is actually surprising. We can turn this around.

[ozgod]

The best thing we can say about that half is that it's over 

Nets shooting 60% overall and 55% from 3 but they're only leading by 10. Everytime they tried to pull away we were able to keep in touch.

I think them going in and out of a 2-3 zone messed us up...we started trying to go iso to break it. Tatum in particular fell into all his bad habits, even though he did have 5 assists. Just need to be patient, continue to move the ball on offense and close out better on defense...we didn't respect Bruce Brown and Dragic enough and they made us pay. Brooklyn shooting a lot from the midrange, especially Dragic...we need to protect against that better

All to play for in the 2nd half

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Huge 10-3 run there to keep it a game. Down 10, not ideal but they chipped back into it

i remember staying down 10 whole game of 2012 ECF game 6 when lebron went off. so frustrating no matter we did.

oh well we started down HUGE game 1 and 2 to wizards back during IT time here. and won those games and series LOLOL

[gouki88]

I think those two buckets will get JT going in the 2nd half. Only takes a couple.

[mef730]

We're lucky to be down 10.  Hope Ime has a hell of a speech up his sleeve for halftime.  I'm talking some Remember the Titans s***, get people ready to run through a wall.

Right now, Ime is googling "What did Bill Belichick say at halftime of the Atlanta Super Bowl?"

Nets will eventually revert to the mean. They have been shooting lights out for two straight games.

True. They're at 62 fg% and 55% 3pfg%. That's not sustainable, especially from their non-stars. And Brown and Dragic aren't going to combine for 30 in the second half.

We just have to actually hit our open shots on the other end. I still don't think they're defending us particularly well, they're just doing better crashing the glass and we're playing tight and missing shots.

[blink]

we need to stop giving G Dragic so much space to operate, that guy isn't going to beat your with quickness, but he is going to hit his old man mid range.  Don't give him space.
