E come be like say time come dey slower than usual

Don't worry the Nets cannot win, they are playing dumb basketball. Everytime they even try a modicum of ball movement they get good looks, but 1 or 2 plays later they are back with their useless iso ball. That is why they are having double digits TOs

Kyrie still dey fast?

BykeLaByke:
Kyrie still dey fast?

So is Jaylen Brown

I can’t! I swear I can’t…

What the hell!!!!

LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOO CELTICS!!!!!!

CELTICS PRIDE!!!!
GREENRUNSDEEP!!!!!!

I DON MAD FINISH… HOLD ME!!!!!!!!

I DON MAD FINISH… HOLD ME!!!!!!!!

Sweep loading

This series is over! Bring the brooms!!

Roland17:
I DON MAD FINISH… HOLD ME!!!!!!!!

The Celtics really smothered the existence out of the Nets

Meanwhile, who ever thought Jason Tatum would be far better than KD in a series? After this series I don't ever want to hear that "KD is the best player in the league" bullsh*it Skip and Stephen A regularly spill out.

Roland17:


So is Jaylen Brown

Yet only Kyrie dey fall for ground.

How did Steve Nash get this coaching job?

Connection abi wetin?

Man's obviously in over his head.

A40:
Our Akwa Ibom brother really doing well.

You worry too much about the Nets. They play too poor defensively to be a threat. I actually see Boston as a dark horse. And looking at the East Boston can still finish as high as 2nd seed.

Everything 40stradamus predicted is coming to pass e be like. Anyway let's see how the Bucks cope without Middleton. I no too trust those Bucks

benji93:
I believe the pressure has gotten to him, and well the defense is crazy.

They ripped his heart out and destroyed his sense of belief.

Khanben:


20k people shouting at you baba is pressure ohh. You put 99.99% of the human populatio in that situation and they will crumble

And yet some people deal with it easily. I can tell a guy like Powell doesn't work on his free throws. he's even a role player with nothing to lose so why was he visibly shaking

Same here, I'm thinking the bulls will tie the series

Man, Kevin Durant.

Reminds me of that year at OKc he faced the Grizzles, He was bailed out in that series by Reggie Jackson and Westbrick.

How much does this has to do with coaching though?
I think a lot.

benji93:
Well according to some those folks back then couldn't have been able to defend against these guys.

That's why I keep laughing every time I heard 7ft monster who would guard him menenemenene. If 6'6 Draymond Green can guard Jokic, Ben Wallace guard Shaq that should tell you height and size is overrated

Can't even imagine MJ, Pippen and Ron Harper taking turns to body KD, it would be ugly

Just a reminder...

Both KD and Kyrie, this L is on them. Most offensive skilled, most offensive skilled, that one is on paper. They just didn't show up when it was time for the do.

Please, going forward, no one should bring up KD's name on the same sentence with Lebron on this thread.

A lot of it is on Nash to get Durant open looks. When people were complaining that Nash jumped queue ahead of more experienced black coaches, it looked like envy. Now we know the guy just paddied his way into the job. There is no way Nash could have have been the best coach interviewed by the Brooklyn Nets.

Still, it is very instructive to see the people that were praising Durant like a god, suddenly about face.

There are many hype masters trying to gain air time, and jumping on Durant and Kyries bandwagon was a good way to look smart. From jump, I have had reservations with this team. Even when Kyrie was dropping 45, they were 50/50. To me, that was trouble.

KD brought Nash to the Nets.

DeeMain:


KD brought Nash to the Nets.

You believe that? Yeah, he may have OK'd it, but what options did they give KD to choose from? Front office was just trying to cover their tracks. Like Lebron in LA. Billionaires are not consulting millionaires on who to give long term contracts.Forget all the paddyship on TV, its a business

Just a reminder...

Lebron and KD are not in the same category. If you replace even 37 year old Lebron with KD in this current Nets team, they will beat the Celtics.
Did you observe that the few times the Nets just moved the ball they got very good looks, and their role players shot a very good percentage.

Indeed. Under pressure, Lebron can revert to athleticism and strength. Durant is a different breed, a pure shooter. Under pressure, there isnt much else to do other than play defense. Which is why its on Nash to run however many screen you need to let him see some daylight.

Yep. I saw it a lot down the stretch. Kyrie especially tries too much to force the issue, taking awkward shots that are contested closely.

You don't know the star power and leverage these top tier superstars have in this league.

Nash was in the coaching crew when KD was with the Warriors and was assigned to help KD adjust to the Warriors style of play when KD joined them. They struck up a friendship from there and it blossomed into an untested Nash getting the Nets' coaching gig once KD agreed with his friend, Kyrie, they were both coming to the Nets.

Bronsexuals don come again

Rookie 19 y.o Jayson Tatum averaging 14pts per game and 21 year old Jaylen Brown. That's like beating Scottie Barnes and Tyrese Maxey

If age and experience no matter how did Lakers this year miss the play in with 3 teams openly tanking

Staggered screens and KD should not be bringing up the ball at. Move the ball and find players who are wide open. They've got so many role players who can hit open shots and they are not making use of them. The whole iso stuff does not work with modern defenses especially those that switch 1 through 5 with players who have length.

Una don start this cap again. When we start dragging man's e go be like say we be Haters. Someone that could not finish 10th seed out of 15 teams will beat these Celtics
