Only got to listen to most of the game, but Brunson with 26 on 26 shots with 5 TOs. Appears the move to Nesmith on him paid off?

Why can't our beloved Celtics play like these two teams...grit and grind it out. Instead, we get demolished or bent backwards at our home turf by visiting teams lol

It’s frustrating. I would settle for the Celtics just playing with a faster tempo

Brunson just tries to draw the foul instead of getting it to go in, and rightly doesn’t get rewarded for it. Good on the refs for not falling for it.

I'm trying to figure out what exactly he's done to get a whistle like prime Lebron.

He's done nothing. He just plays for NY. "NYESPN" and that market needs buzz

He's short, just another in a long line of small guards that grift for calls.

Good. If Cs can get past Cleveland I’d rather play the Pacers. Good series now.

At the very least, at least this series is going 5, but probably more likely 6 games. A sweep would have been annoying, would have given NY ample time to rest and scout. But who knows, maybe if IND wins Game 4, it's a legit series and anyone's

Hard to see the Nuggets win another game this season. Wolves are simply too physical. It'll wear out both Jokic and Murray in the 2nd half. I'm gonna say the Nuggets played a cupcake schedule last postseason who had injuries and (gentlemen) sweeping teams left and right to win the Finals.

I often wonder what it would be like to have KAT take over for Al.

I agree the wolves are absolutely ridiculously tough right now but to take anything away from last years nuggets is…weird. They were great, and their road to the finals was harder then our road has been and then they beat the team the Celtics lost to for a title.

People say that about every champion. You don't get extra points for beating tougher teams lol things look much easier when you show up to play every game.

This is some really questionable defense by Jokic.

Jokic literally isn’t even trying to contest guys at the rim at this point.

Minnesota putting in a Celtic like effort. Did they expect Denver just to roll over?
