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

[radiohead]

If i were BKN I wouldn’t even allow Simmons to play game 4. A loss there could do more damage than good to his already fragile ego.

What the hell are these idiots doing??? Get the dam ball into Tatums hands. Instead Jaylen wants to dribble the air out of the ball and pass it to smart for a dumb force..

Idiots is right

I think that's a bit dramatic given we're up 3-0 in what lots of people were calling one of the "hardest to predict" first round match-ups ever.

If the guys up 3-0 are idiots, then I can only imagine what these people call the other team, lol.

frontrunners, colluders, overrated and many other things that just get bleeped out on this site

I have a feeling that KD would secretly want to join the Cs. Ouch…

Him and Tatum looked pretty close out there.

[Sophomore]

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but there will someday be a team that comes back from being down 3-0.

Definitely. 100% agree. But it won't be this Nets team. They don't have the horses to win 4 straight. Heck they are struggling just to keep going and compete out there & not quit.

Their defense just folded down the stretch. Absolutely folded.

[Roy H.]

We might have the coach and team that can win multiple titles.

Let’s just get one first. 

[Silas]

This was a fun game.

[SparzWizard]

Three and oh.

Man. Crazy. JT.

[mef730]

Hilarious that after all the talk about avoiding Brooklyn in the first round and how this will be a very difficult series for Boston, we're the only undefeated team in the East after three games.

The basketball gods rewarding Boston.

That.

[Neurotic Guy]

So great to pull out Game 3!  Didn't want any part of 2-1 going into Monday night.  Play loose with high energy on Monday and get a few extra days rest for all and a few more days recoup for Rob.  Though Rob did look ready.

Shout out to DW who wasn't great but played steady, grabbed 6 boards, had a heads-up superior pass to JT, and had a terrific finish in the first.

Also shout out to PP with the solid 10 in the first half.  AND to Grant Williams who is a player!!!!

[SHAQATTACK]

Steven A will go berserk,  his NY fan base click club may fire him.

Tatum is mature beyond his years. I’m sure the past 2 years of getting snubbed in All-NBA and his team underperforming in the playoffs has given him some perspective. He said as much in that podcast with Redick. His early career success made him think he was always gonna be there then boom, he wasn’t lol

Real-life experience has a way of slapping the entitled pride out of your mouth

[kraidstar]

Kyrie better bring a hay bale's worth of sage into Barclay's cause things are gonna get ugly in that organization

Yeah I wouldn't risk the youngest of the 3 stars they have on a desperation move. All I can possibly see them getting out of it maybe is a sense of how Ben Simmons fits with KD and Kyrie in a real game to help guide their offseason moves, but that would still be an extremely small sample size.

[Who]

I have a feeling that KD would secretly want to join the Cs. Ouch…

Hey, when OKC lost to GSW Durant went right out and joined them. I would not be surprised at all if he wanted to leave BKN for BOS.

That guy likes the easy way out.

[Silas]

62 points from the Jays tonight.
