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

[Phantom255x]

If we brought the same effort we did in the Warriors game more often, we'd be beating these teams (even the red hot Nets) by double digits most nights. Alas, that's been our problem this year, frustratingly inconsistent. And it's not just one thing either, it's a lot of different things happening along the way.

Just a routine third quarter. Big lead blown to end up trailing. No effort and just lazy

[nickagneta]

Another horrible call after great defense by Baynes. How the heck is anyone supposed to play defense?

Nets dropped 38 on us in the 3rd

as soon as JB passed it out i KNEW rozier would ballhog and shoot

YEP I WAS RIGHT! 

You went out on a limb with that....

LOL 

[slamtheking]

even though the Nets missed that last shot, there's no excuse for them to come right down the court and get a shot at a wide open 3

[Atzar]

Either ball screens are impossible to defend, or the Celtics are just incapable of defending them.  I'm honestly not sure which at this point.  It seems like you can just run a shooter behind a pick until A) he eventually has an open shot or B) his defender has to foul to get back on him. 

Not my favorite development in modern NBA offenses.

At one point do we start Brown over Morris?

[celticinorlando]

38 point third quarter for the Nets. That is just inexcusable.

Going to the 4th without Kyrie

thankfully Jaylen's having a good night.  him and Al doing the bullwork tonight

I feel like JB’s been pretty solid lately. Needs to get the bell more.

This is why they can’t count themselves as an elite team. Elite teams don’t have these big swings between a good and a bad performance.
