Kyrie did way too much 1 on 1 there. Was getting doubled.

 

[PnkPanther]

Wow. Nice finish

 

[DJ]

What a game....

 

[Shanemansj13]

LETS GO!

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Lolol at Brooklyn.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Wow. Kyrie trying to do too much there.

 

[Duckboy33]

Another bad finish for the Nets. Nash finds a way to lose games late consistently

 

[Shanemansj13]

KD lost that game for the Nets. Crazy last play but great awareness by Tatum

He isn't a very good coach.

Excited for this one

Turned out to be a classic! If Brooklyn gets past the Celtics and their defense to me they become the favorites to make it out of the East. Because they will have shown all the regular season drama is over and they are ready to go.

TATUM!!! YES!!!!!!

My thoughts:

• Great game. Great game.
• Boston definitie got the size/muscle advantage. They look like they can out-rebound the Nets and get some easier shots at times by virtue of that.
• Kyrie went off... he can be impossible to stop, at times.
• Foul-palooza. A lot of whistles... both ways. Gonna be a physical series.
• The C's are bodying KD... a lot... it worked, for one game anyways.
• Gonna be a tight series.

This is what NBA playoff basketball is all about. Thank you, basketball gods.

What a helluva game.

It's funny that Kyrie flipped off a fan. Just another example of why he's a jackass.

Drummond with a lusty -13 in 17 minutes of action.

This is not the series for him. Horford and Theis can take him away from the basket. This is why dude was great as a backup 5 but people fell out of love with him as a starting 5. Claxton is the much better big for them in this series.

Boston did just fine guarding him down the stretch.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Tatum is literally pushing Durant anytime Durant trying to set a screen. Refs are ignoring obvious fouls

This is what the Celtics have been doing with everybody this season. Apparently, it isn’t being officiated as if it’s illegal. If allowed it’s a great way to throw off the timing of pick n roll and pick n pop.

Clayton is going to get a good deal in the off-season. The kid can play.
