Nets (4-4) at Celtics (7-2) Game #10 11/8/24

[SCeltic34]

Our defense is just not acceptable.

[celticinorlando]

Lazy defense is leading to lazy offense.

[celticinorlando]

Cs get back in the game and immediately start shooting sorry ass 3s and let the nets build up another big lead.

[Atzar]

There we go JT.

[SCeltic34]

These turnovers are killing the Nets.  We're fortunate they're getting sloppy, with some good defensive anticipation by our players.

[jpotter33]

Our defense is just not acceptable.

Hasn?t been most of the year. Some of that is missing KP, but overall there has been a lack of attention and intensity on the defensive end.

[SCeltic34]

This is one of the most infuriating games I've watched in recent memory.   Feels like we should be getting blown out with our terrible shot selection and lack of resistance on defense.

[celticinorlando]

Again...get it tied or down one and they immediately go on a run to push the lead back up to 7-10 points.

Cs are just not playing hard at all

[Neurotic Guy]

Nets are impressive, answer every run.  I suppose you could read this as Cs letdown, but Nets are hitting their shots and playing solid D.   Cs cannot get the lead.

[celticinorlando]

Cs have to rebound better. We are too slow on both ends

[SCeltic34]

Absolutely unacceptable to not get that missed FT rebound.  BKN is just playing harder.

[celticinorlando]

And once again, get it tied to only give up the lead. The effort tonight is garbage on the boards

[jpotter33]

Absolutely inexcusable effort defensively and on the boards. We?re clearly just not playing as hard as they are. We?re an entitled team post-championship that doesn?t think it needs to play hard defense to win.

[celticinorlando]

Ge this unit off the floor

[celticinorlando]

11 for 40 from 3 tonight. Laughable. And those missed 3s lead to long run outs and fast breaks for Nets
