Could only watch bits and pieces, but the fact that only lost by 1 away from home and the parts I watched KD was struggling with his shot, should give the Nets a bit of confidence.
I do like the Celts though. From that time after Kyrie left and Tatum and Brown were basically competing with each other on who was the man and both were playing some very selfish basketball. Now they play very good team ball and Smart is a huge reason for that.

Steph with a nicely efficient 34 points in 23 minutes
12 of 17 from the field.

This game was very much like ‘the old Warriors’. Was quite fun to watch in the background trying to work!
Splash bro’s + Pool(e) went 13 for 28 from 3. There’s no helping off or you will get scored on.

Dragic has come off the bench breathing fire.
This is a good game

went in to a meeting
who got hot for the Celtics in the 4th? And who stepped up on D?
-
interesting day
Celtics come from behind to hold serve
Bulls take one on the road off the Bucks on the back of 41 from DeRozan
Sixers get it done on the road. -
@mariner4life Bucks could be in trouble. Middleton has a sprained MCL.

I didn't watch, but I think it was more a case of the Nets bottling it (plus good D) than Boston getting hot.KD went 0-10 second half with 4 turnovers - yikes!

I just finished watching the game. Both teams played excellent defence. But the Celtics were very successful in putting Durant and Irving off their games with active hands and physical D, they were relentless. There was so much on the ball defence, and apart from a dream offensive quarter from Dragic the Nets didn't seem to have anyone really step up. By contrast the Celtics got valuable contributions from Williams, Horford, and Brown. Tatum didn't have a great shooting game until late, but he was very active with assists for much of the game.

Team defence from Celts was excellent. They have size and threw multiple bodies at him. They clipped him on screens, they had two defenders contesting his mid range, the switching was good.
Pritchard played very well for the Celts. In fact offensively they just made a run in the 4th and never looked back.
One thing that showed in this game was that the Nets really don’t know how to play together. They haven’t clicked. As a result KD and Kyrie need to play big, all the time. Now they are capable of that because they are damn good players, but it’s a lot of pressure.
-
@ACT-Crusader once the Cs shut down KD and Irving, the Nets offense freezes. They can't free the 2 stars up for shots and the supporting cast can't consistently get free for shots, or consistently make them when they do

Warriors win despite being away and Jokic being big
Dallas and Memphis win well away to take the lead in their series

Unfortunately Adams will be riding the pine due to his matchup with KAT.

Tough matchup for Stevie. There were definitely patches in todays game that they missed his rebounding and screen setting.
There’s an edge to this Memphis team which makes them so good to watch.

Steph the new best 6th man in the league! The small lineup of Klay, Curry, Poole, Wiggins and Green that has been used late in each half has done the business so far in this series.
Glove II, Porter Jnr and Looney providing good support play.

United Center tomorrow for the first Bulls home playoff game in a few years should be a fun atmosphere.
Or not. Bulls getting blown out in front of a dead crowd.

Ice Trey was cold as for 3 and a half quarters and then made a late run. Boggie hit some big shots in the 4th.
Hawks get one game back and keep the series alive.
