Nets (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Game #1 10/26/16

[Snakehead]

Totally uncharacteristic of us. Surely Smart's absence isn't that much of an effect.

Not the only excuse, but there have been a lot of games where it starts like this and Smart comes in and gets it back in line.  I think it really matters though.  If you ask me he is the best defensive player on this team.

Rozier really overdribbling.  Get into the offense.

Agree he is not a good dribbler.

[max215]

Al is so good.

[walker834]

Horford run away freight train  on the swing of the ball. How do you stop that?

[SHAQATTACK]

AB is not containing Lin

Yes he is. Loved that foul.  Don't give him an inch.

Yeah, it's a combination of that and early season issues. The second unit is definitely a direct result of that. Neither Brown nor Rozier were very good defensively on the perimeter at all during the preseason. Lots of missed rotations and miscommunication out there.

Lin has 5 points and 1 assist am I missing something?

I'm hoping its first game jitters for Rozier on both ends.  Aside from like one play he has looked pretty bad.

Too much wasted effort.

[walker834]

AB is such a great defender.  I must be watching a different game.

[Ogaju]

are the NETS better this year?

[jpotter33]

But I thought Horford wasn't a big upgrade for us defensively over Sully?
