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

[msgkings322]

It’s fine when players jab back, don’t mind it all but why talk about it in postgame? Talk about the game. It’s pretty crazy that the fans bother him but he still plays lights out. Some players just thrive with shit talking. Lebron seems to as well

A lot of these guys need that edge/anger. MJ was famous for making shit up to be mad at the other team about to give himself extra motivation.

Aldridge and Griffin are no longer starters obviously but silly for them to get DNP's.

You were saying Aldridge should be playing last night....LOL.

Not sure why KD and Kyrie ran off Kenny Atkinson. He’s a much better coach than Nash.

Yep.

They both can't play. I would use Aldridge instead Edwards but using 5 pf/c in a your rotation is dumb. No room for blake

Edwards only got 4 minutes as it is. I would start Claxton against the Cs and I would bring Aldridge off the bench instead of Drummond. Both guys are liabilities in the defensive end. Drum is the better rebounder but LA gives you the semblance of some offense. Horford and Theis are maybe the worst matchup for a team like the Nets with their 5 position. That’s where Simmons would be big for them if they intend to use him as a small ball 5.

Yeah aldridge brings something different. Can post up and hit a mid range. Also he can play with claxton. Dont think you can play him with drummond

Aldridge is so much better than Drummond it's crazy. I saw Drummond in CLE and he is a nice piece for a team that needs scoring and you can live with inefficiency at times. Aldridge makes too much sense. If the Nets lose this series, you better believe KD will forcing Nash out.

He might pack Nash bags for him then Nash can go back to commentating soccer games

And yet, like GM LeBron, KD is why Nash is the coach.

Dre is very matchup dependent. It's just weird because he was able to D up smaller guys before. I don't know what the hell happened to that dude.

KD isn’t a good gm either

He picked deandre Jordan over Jarrett Allen

Yup.

Atkinson did a good job there

And yet got forced out for….this

 

[Wamu]

I wonder if Celtics fans will have anything to say to that anti-vaxxer/flat Earther in game two?

Kinds surprised the league hasn't said anything about Kyrie flipping the bird.

What is he? 28?

Lol

True.

Guys his size (and speed)... it's more a matter that the game has evolved past their skill set.

Kyrie is a beast. Shot 40% most of the year but 75% over his last 3 games. 75%

Who does that
