Series Thread: 2) Boston Celtics vs 7) Brooklyn Nets

[WiggyRuss]

Cryrie- still not playoff relevant since leaving Cleveland.

 

[LogicMan]

Damn this team knows how to lock down their targets

Another great win.

Both teams making a lot of mistakes... giving up a lot of fouls.... but the Celtics wore down a tough Nets team tonight.

Nets had 65 at the half. They finished with 107. Against the Nets... that's fantastic.

Defense.

I was tied into Sixers but 4th quarter D must have been next level.

Kyrie said they didn't need a coach so well, there ya go

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Boston just simply wants this series much more than Brooklyn does....and it shows.
Do I think the Nets have a shot to make it interesting? Sure...but unless they win the next 2 at home...they're toast.

Nets are far from done. They haven’t had a home game yet this series. They’ve had leads in both games and got outplayed in the 4th Q. KD and Kyrie getting defended very well is a concern though.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He's such a fucking pussy.

So.....game 3 was just impossible after a year off but game 4....all in?

Right?

^ Yep.

This is why you win home court advantage in the regular season... such a big thing to play in front of your fans in a place like Boston.

(Thank God CV19 restrictions are largely over)

Series don't start until a road team wins a game.

If Boston takes one out of the next two I will go ahead and say this series is over. Boston's defense has been great so far in this series.

Up 3-1 or 3-0 you're picking Boston? Bold!

But correct on defense, that was their strength all year. Probably toughest realistic matchup for Nets

Nah, I am not picking Boston I have virtually saying BKN has no chance to comeback lol. Hot take. Right this is a tough matchup for BKN, Boston was right for not playing the seeding game like MIL. Now MIL is 1-1 with the coldest East team coming into the playoffs.

And that's minus Williams. If he comes back healthy they're going to be formidable.

 

[Sparhawk]

Simmons in Game 4!

Footage of game 4. Nets down 0-3 and Celtics employ the Hack a Ben ASAP starting in the second quarter.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

 

[thunderc]

So this series starts with 2 off days between games 1 and 2 as well as between games 2 and 3. Dumb.

 

[thunderc]

Robert Williams coming back in game 3, makes the Celtics defense even better
