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

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

Yeah, no. It's our defence giving them easy looks. Bruce Brown is not some elder playoff superstar who coasts in the regular season.

You can call it whatever you want but this isn’t the same Nets team from the regular season that people were scoffing at

Well yeah, their stars are playing. Which, for the most part, they did not do during the regular season.

They didn’t.  The team as a whole also didn’t play with this level of defensive intensity

Jaylen was a no show for the most part in the first half. You're not beating these guys without him and Tatum playing well.

first half takeaways:
- credit to Nash for getting his team to come out swinging this game.  Will Smith Slap to Ime for not getting his team to play with a fire under their butts and getting outreached the entire first half.
- Good to see GWill hitting shots.  he's not doing much good on D though
- Theis -- still can't handle being the only big on the floor for rebounding. 
- C's not getting it done on D with holding the Nets role players in check.
- Jaylen looked like pure crap all half except for 2 drives.
- Tatum needs to make buckets
- officials suck.  how could they blow that blatant goaltend and have that turn into a Nets 3.  infuriating

We need him to have a big 2nd half.  The Nets are going to ready for us to try and get Tatum going, Jaylen needs to step up

SMH Jaylen

Yeah JB / JT gotta step up and hit some shots and loosen the def up a bit.  Those two hit a couple of 3s and the lane miraculously becomes easier to attack.
But I want to see both those guys up the intensity on def as well.  Get some turnovers, get some easy break away dunks, get the mojo right again.

POST UP CURRY!!!

[JSD]

Smh Tatum with that weak take

[jpotter33]

Come out with a WIDE OPEN bricked Brown three and a bad force by Tatum. Yeah, not how you want to come out.

And why are we still playing with Theis?

[coco]

Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.?  Are we going to let BB beat us?

[Phantom255x]

Already a bit of a rough start to the half...

[slamtheking]

sweet pass by Al

[slamtheking]

got to stop chucking 3's early in the shot clock

[Kuberski33]

Despite Curry's 3 the D has picked up. Good sign.
