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

[Silas]

Looking forward to Rob joining the fun.

Tremendous 2nd half defensively. Great job by Grant & PP off the bench.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

93% of teams down 2-0 lose in the NBA playoffs.

The C's I think are something like 40-1 when up 2-0 in the series. Sadly the one blemish was just 4 years ago to the Cavaliers and Lebron (2018)

Who had Kyrie that year, us or Cleveland?

US but he was injured

30 points out of the bench… well done. 

Batman and PP!

So do the Nets dust off Ben Simmons for game 3? If so, we better get the brooms ready.

Ah, yes, you are correct. The Scary Terry year.

me too man, me too! 

[slamtheking]

everyone who hit the court tonight came up big at some point (except White). 

looking forward to taking game 3 -- we've played at a different level on the road this half of the year so really want to put the Nets in an 0-3 hole and make the rest of the league worry about playing us instead of the Nets

[Silas]

Defense wins games and definitely played big tonight.

Nah, they only bring him back if they had a chance of winning.

Have to think White is due for a good game at some point, right?  He's a better player than this.  He's not helping on offense and he's actually been a bit of a liability on defense as well.

what are the nets gonna do if the JAYS are hot all game?? 

[radiohead]

Tatum so impressive with his assist line.  10 assists on a night that the shot isn't falling.

Reminded me of Dirk out there. Dictating the game by drawing double teams and moving the ball to open shooters.

He did have that personal 7-0 blast that put us up 12. He had a poor shooting night but ended up having a pretty solid game!

And boy was he. 38% from the field and 26% from 3 in the ECF that year

I hope so. He's just had a rough couple of games. We know that Kyrie and Durant are going to have one game where they're both good together, so let's hope that he's got his game back by then.
