Nets (27-23) at Celtics (30-19) Game #50 1/28/19

I feel the need to repeat myself:  I just don't understand how, as a defender, you're expected to defend against a ball screen in today's NBA.  You give up a three if you go under and you get called for a foul if you fight over.  There's no way to win.

need to put some more space between them and the Nets the next few minutes

Brown has been balling in January.

He's been balling since going to the bench. The last few weeks he has been playing some of his best ball since his playoff run.

[Walker Wiggle]

Where is Tatum in the 2nd half?

[slamtheking]

with all the bleeding tonight, going to need a transfusion setup in the locker room after the game

[nickagneta]

Smart, Hayward and Morris all with cuts tonight. Did Celtics only bring fists to a knife fight?

Yup.  I really dislike how soft the game has become too.  These are grown, enormously powerful professional athletes.  Let them get after it.

All because theyr'e trying to keep the game clean, and because they want to keep causal fans engaged with a league that favors offense and lots of points on the board.

So we are up 10 at half and sleep-walk through yet another 3d quarter in a middling game. Celts have been in position to gain ground this week with our East rivals on the road or, poor Indy, losing their superstar. This team has a head problem - simple as that.

Dang Kyrie. Dude definitely caused these guys to have that poor third quarter by sitting on the bench! #TradeKyrie

Uh, I didn't mention Irving's name. You guys have a real obsession with him.

Ah man, my bad. Just figured it was another shot at Kyrie from you, only tacitly this time. 

That's because you are so obsessed with him.................and apparently, me.

Nets are more roaches than anything else. Cannot kill them

Where is Tatum in the 2nd half?

Brown outplaying him and taking his minutes.

[blink]

tough night for Morris protecting the ball, Nets have stripped him a bunch.
but a great block there by MM
