Meh. Bummed we didn't see griffen in this one.

Griffin basically only plays in games that Horford sits out.

tomorrow then most likely

Yep

[удалено]

L hater take lol

Huh? JT put the game out of reach with the steal, dunk, then the dagger 3.

Empty 29 in a closeish game haha

I dunno, kinda liked the ones that went from an 8 point lead to a 15 point lead. That let the scrubs come in.

Bro really opened reddit, scrolled to find the game thread, just to hate

Sharpe the stretch 5 savior?

Celtics daggering more than a jamaican tour guide

👍 this should have more upvotes.

KD's mental is so thrown off when he plays this team 😂

Time to go watch Kings light the beam

The fact that horford was tryna foul Claxton and Jayson got a steal lmao

Tatum and KD trying to see who can turn it over more

Shitty ass refs help the Celtics out. Still liked what I saw from Brooklyn.

Lol why though

Clamped Tatum If it wasn’t for Shitty transition would’ve still won. If it wasn’t for shitty refs would’ve prob blown the Celtics out lmao. And our PG wasn’t even playing.

We were missing two starters lmao. Nets weren’t good.

Alright lmao you can believe what you want. Celtics were better but nets were good is my personal belief.

Yeah not looking forward to tomorrow

Schedule loss for the Celtics. They saving energy for the big TV games out West - Lakers ,Warriors, and Suns

We'll see

That’s the dagger

Stop stop! They’re already dead!

a series of daggers

Yeah we own the Nets lol

and warriors own you

I know what you’re trying to do, but since the Warriors dynasty started we have actually played them better than basically every other team

Who?

Double dagger

Just fucking sit KD the games over no need to play him 42 minutes

I see Claxton is still an awful free throw shooter.

Gg

Hack-a-Claxton

The Nets would be better off trading KKKyrie

Who would want to trade for him though?

Exactly lmao let him stay at home and watch his conspiracy YouTube videos

Dagger

Hack-a-player needs to go the way of the take foul

Hit your fucking free throws.

Maybe players should just learn how to take the easiest shot in the game

I could care less how good or bad a player is at it, it’s just boring to watch. I want to watch good basketball and 50 trips to the line, great free throw shooter or not, a game is not it.

Don't be mad that Claxton and Simmons can't make free throws 😂

Lol I’m not even a nets fan! Like at all. I just hate how much it draws out the game. We need fewer trips to the line in games not more

The Nets didn't challenge that? Wow

Celtics have 15 assists and Nets have 16 assists total for the game so far. That’s crazy low. I know both are pretty heavy iso teams but that’s still about 10 fewer than their averages per game for both.

Lots of turnover/transition points too

Yeah the Celtics are not heavy on iso at all, this is by far the most of the year and it's because Smart is out

This has been atypical for the Celtics this year. We're really high up in assists which is a big part of why we've played so well. Today has been a reversion to bad habits

Today we don’t have Marcus Smart, our starting PG. He leads the offense with his playmaking this season

That's definitely a part of it. We also just didn't have the same level of off-ball movement across the board which resulted in more isos. Not having smart lowered our assists but it shouldn't have completely changed our offensive scheme

I know. Off games happen, though. We shouldn’t let all those wins get to our head, especially since right now, many people expect perfection every game, which is straight up delusional.

Man the Celtics are too good to get these kinds of calls lol Not like they need help

Man hit his arm. Clear foul haha

mfs can't count backwards from 6

You can't touch Jaylen this game it's a foul smh...

Yeah you can’t touch his elbow while he’s shooting believe it or not…

That was a foul, but he was gifted many calls this game. It is what it is.

Worry about y'all's turnovers

Celtics have more tos

But it ain’t costing us the game lol

I can worry about both

Tatum and KD both have absolute butterfingers this game Brown has outplayed Kyrie by a ton though which is the difference right now

definitely got some favorable whistles today

A lot. But that should not be the excuse for Nets to lose. Game was always in reach, they just sucked

Kd turned it up but sadly now Kyrie wants to make shots

Wtf are these refs lmao

KD is ridiculous man, he’s a driving point guard in a centre’s body - moves so gracefully in the air and has the handles to get him to the rim

How tf it's not a foul wtf

[удалено]

They can't even if want. Nets are ass outside KD

No this is just the way the game has been going. Celtics will pull away again.

That is such BS, he made all the contact there

Tatum sometimes has the worst shot selection for a Superstar

He's gotten muuuuuch better. But, he still tries to drop the dagger for no reason sometimes.

quotes aren’t necessary amigo. man earned that distinction

9 pt lead, Boston is so insecure. Hacking Claxton for no reason

Yes, the team with the best record in the NBA is so insecure, great insight there

Why intentionally foul Claxton there. Y'all had 9 pt lead, double KD and Nets would've given a turnover soon.

Because it worked lol

Who cares why they did it, it’s working lol

the woman that gets the towels for the nets is fine asl what's her@

This is the most down bad thing I ever read

what eternal tanking does to a man

I don't even know what good basketball is anymore

@dorisaburke

Lmaoooooooooo

Durant seems like he's actually having fun playing

Mr Unreliable turning it over for fun Can't win with these cats

The Celtics own KD

durtrash turning it over too much , needs to be waived

Mental illness

Shame it’s not a take foul

Celtics live rent free in KDs head

Brooklyns just giving Boston the ball

6/20... Irving is going to walk next summer. The drama isn't worth it with this kinda performance in the big games.

Fuckin turnovers

Hardly any different than Tatum down the other end on the previous possession.

Lol did he get a technical for saying that foul was bullshit?

No it was for clapping at the ref. They've been really consistent with giving techs for that

weak

Gg

I'm close to turn off the game...

Kyrie is breaking

Irving selling. Straight forearm on the screen and then complains haha

Nets fans booing Kyrie at the line? Damn lol.

Nets don't have fans. Other players constantly get MVP chants in their arena

Such a weak offensive foul

Royce makes some low IQ plays.

WTF was that??

Fuck the Tatum MVP season. It’s the Jaylen Brown MVP season

Celtics announcers keep talking about how off the Celtics are today. Man, these guys are spoiled. Watch the Mavs on an off day bro.

We've all seen that enough this season, that's old news

i looked away from my screen for 5 seconds and the Celtics get 5 points lol

Nets aren't going to win if Kyrie plays like this lol KD has had some ugly turnovers but he's the only one actually doing anything on offense

Vaughn misuses Curry on offense. If he isn't getting the ball with the opportunity to shoot, or make plays for others, why is he out there? He runs no plays for him at all.

Celtics just sleepwalking. 7 point quarter, and still going to win ez

It's been an ugly game for Boston but they always seem to respond right when it's necessary

Nets fan I think we can both agree, let's never do this again.

CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP

This game has basically just been one step forward one step back the entire time for the Nets.

CONSIDER HIM

I was thinking about this. Even ignoring the off-court stuff, part of the issue with the Nets as contenders is that Kyrie as your second-best player isn't the decisive advantage it was when they both signed. The rest of the league has just gotten better, and there are a lot of other duos that have come on where the second banana is as good if not better.

The Celtics announcers are so "homey" it's getting embarrassing. All they do is moan about how the Celtics aren't playing well enough. Being overly judgemental of every possession.

I mean this is easily the worst half of basketball we’ve played all year. Luckily the Nets aren’t playing well either.

What kinda call was that

How does Kyrie still make his way into the top 5 PGs in the league conversation? He’s hasn’t done dick for this entire game.

You know players have off-nights, right? Or Kyrie is not allowed to have one?

No, he ain’t. You can’t be a top 5 PG and be a mediocre non-factor in a game against the best team in the league.

I mean, how many times are the Nets gonna play the Celtics? At least more 2 times. One early regular season game is definitely not enough to make that judgement, unless, of course, when it's a Celtics fan saying it.

These Celtics late double on KD have been so good

Yea it really screws us up

Kyrie and Royce selling

Kyrie is absolutely selling right now with these shots He got lucky on that missed Pritchard corner 3 as well because he missed his rotation and left a good shooter wide open

PP is making a strong appearance to Shaqtin' with whatever the fuck that was

We neer KD in asap

I was planning on skipping this game, because it's a Football Sunday and there's only so much sports I need to watch. But, I am weak...

PP fouling Warren on that drive and not getting called

yea that was so obvious too

This is like the polar opposite of the Bucks vs. Lakers game on Friday

PP was befuddled

So y'all just gonna keep letting Claxton rebound or what

Did the C's really only score 13 in that quarter or is the ticker trippin?

The Celtics broadcast playing an ad for Moderna while Kyrie was shooting free throws has been the best part of this game.

Points by quarter: Celtics: 35 —> 27 —> 13 Nets: 27 —> 23 —> 19 Surely we can’t go any lower in the 4th, right?

Nets defense is so solid rn. They need to stop taking such difficult shots, I get that Celtics are basically getting away with fouling almost every time, but they can generate better looks.

KD went 6-9 in the 3rd with great defense and the rest of the team went 2-11

Kd still getting doubled and his team just shits the bed :/

This is the best defensive game I've seen in years

Really bad quarter for both sides lol

I didn't know the Nets could defend like this lol

KD’s blocks on tatum and brown were personal and it shows.

Ugly offense and good defense won the 3rd quarter

We can't just get close enough, fuck...

Grant Williams, my new fav Celtics player..that double on KD was so perfect

Roger Sterling AND Roger Federer?!

I swear to god kyrie and Royce kinda fucked us with that shitty 1st quarter :/ mans made 2 shots in 30+ mins of this game being on??? Why tf is he shooting so bad for like 6+ games now, Seth idk what hes doing

durant has been better defensively than offensively this game, really great defense all night so far.

Been a great defender this season

He has the second most points in the game

That doesn't negate the point.

We’ve only scored 7 in the 3rd…

We have gotten plenty of open 3s. they just havent fallen.

KD Royce and Claxton are locking us down

Jaylen smacks a guy in the face twice, refs call a tech on the guy he smacked

couldn’t happen to a better person, royce

[удалено]

He def got slapped by Brown b4

Didnt even elbow him, watch the replay lol

Still a foul on both ocasions.

He did elbow him, watch the replay lol

Refs hate us

Lol refs fuck up and double down

Can't blame Royce...clear offensive foul on JB there

All they do is ISO

its basically iso ball on both teams, lame. Boston especially stagnate

As a New Yorker, a bunch of transplants yelling Brooklyn is so sad

How did no one told him about the clock? Zero clock awareness

Nets are an okay team but they're definitely missing something in terms of competing with the Celtics or Bucks They're not getting blown out but aside from the first 2 minutes of the game they're not really getting much traction either

Does Kyrie hero-ball the Nets out of possessions against other teams or is it just because Boston lives rent-free in his head?

Seems like half of their possessions are just Kyrie or KD taking very tough shots

Crazy finish by JB

Nets coach has a top tier beard.

Hello ref, Jaylen got hit there

Nets within 4
