Celtics (2-0) at Nets (0-2) Round 1 Game 3 4/23/22

[BringToughnessBack]

Great finish to quarter and recovery from early Nets lead. We look great and Tatum is feeling it!

Loved the Smart move that got Kyrie in air and then the wide open 3.

Wow, I am really loving this team.

I'll take this all day. Up 5 on the road against a desperate team. Expected the Nets to come out and be on fire but it was more of a whimper.

Lets goooooooooooo

Aside from some offensive rebounds to start, not much resistance

[Atzar]

KD 12 minutes, Kyrie 11 minutes. Looks like they'll be playing very heavy minutes tonight but hopefully they tire out a bit in the 2nd half?

I think that bothers KD especially.  It's hard for a guy like that to have a wrestling match with these Celtics defenders for 40+ minutes.  Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford, Grant.  All five of those guys are strong and very physical with him. 

[Silas]

Missing shots but only 2 turnovers.  The shots will fall.

[Neurotic Guy]

We need White to be the X factor tonight.

For the first time since shortly after the trade I have the thought that I'd rather have Richardson coming in off the bench.  White has not looked good in games 1 and 2.  Really hope he is that x factor tonight.

We lose G1 if it's Richardson instead of White. His 3 steals and 4 assists were enormous, and his push in transition to set up the game-winner was enormous.

He accrued the stats (just about all) in the 1st half.  But I won't argue, I like White better than Richardson.  Mostly can't get his step out of bounds out of my head.  Looks more comfortable tonight and great finish on that break.

Their starting 5 each have 1 foul already.

I'm shakin' a little and whilst part of that is the caffeine on an empty stomach, I'm also just super hella insanely happy to see Rob playing again


We look so good with him on the court man :'|

Timelord looked a bit out of sync, which is understandable.  I'd like to see him + Smart on the floor at the same time.  Good synergy between them

Amen to that!

[Silas]

Rob looking like Rob.

OT: If you're a Dunkin' fanatic, they released two new flavor swirls for the season (Cake Batter, Butter Pecan)! There's also a bunch of other new seasonal items too (Mango Refresher, etc.) 

[Neurotic Guy]

Wanted that oop.  Be nice to get Rob one before he sits.

[jpotter33]

Here come the refs tightening things up arbitrarily again.

Timelord looking good in his return

I know some of these fouls are NOT on White and he's getting screwed. But so far he's had a really disappointing series
