'''Clearly Brad was playing possum in the preseason.'''
Clearly indeed...

I think it just comes down to we didn't have our legs in the second half, because we played a much more taxing game in game 1 Also feel obliged to say I remember when Kyrie played that well for us when he first got here. That lasted about two months Nets played two days ago also. Kyrie will be fine as long as no one treads on his black magic or mystic. . Ya gotta be a nut to understand a nut... They drilled the Warriors by 25. Just as easy as the Bucs did tonight probably. We wrestled Giannis all night

You guys can call it like YOU see it. Kemba doesn't make a bit of difference against this team. Tatum needing 22 shot attempts to score 20 points with NO FREE THROWS? Kemba doesn't make a dent in a game like tonight. Oh, he'll help but this Nets team is elite and they are DEEP. We are going to really have to come together a lot better that we are right now to be a contender in the east. This isn't gonna cut it. This was like men playing against boys. Wow there neighbor.. Kemba make no difference in this game.

I see a lot of "This post is hidden".
Let me guess, Celts lose, right?
So it must be pete!
So typical.

Their players at every position seemed to have more length than ours. With Jaret Allen and KD, they were long and mobile and shut down our drives without fouling.
We subbed with Teague and Pritchard. Teague really didn't give us anything. Pritchard can.
The only other wing length option that we have is Nesmith. He is just not ready. Even Javonte Green saw some minutes.
Add Kemba, TimeLord and Langford and we have some better options to compete with their rotations.
That does not make us better than them. Also, I don't want to count on KD or Kyrie getting burnt out. We have to get better. I think that we can be better than what we showed today.

The good thing is the Celts still have that big TPE.
According to reports I've read, the 2021 draft class is very good.
So 2021 1st round picks are valuable.
Ainge has until March to make changes.
One thing's for sure, this current Celts team is not a finished product.

The shots that Kyrie made in this game is just ridiculous. But Kyrie will not be able to do it on a regular basis. This is just one of those nights where everything was going right for Kyrie. For the Celts to be better, it has to include a roster change. Until Ainge uses that TPE, this is not a finished product.

It's an embarrassment to see Waters and Edwards on the floor at the same time. Looks like kiddie basketball! The Nets are too good and too big for us right now! We don't have a third scoring option without Kemba, and we don't have a power forward, Another failure by Ainge! Plus Durant is back to being the best player in the league! The Nets will be very hard for anyone to beat this year!

I don't buy that analysis. If you don't make them work on defense and have them inbound the ball, you will be in trouble. KD got them ahead and Kyrie plays well from front. He will make those shots if we are on our heels.
Not overthinking this one. The Celts need to play much better and prepare to compete with the Nets at their best. It will be wishful thinking that the Nets will fade by the time playoffs arrive.

I wouldn't count on KD or Kyrie getting burnt out. The Nets are too deep for that. Actually I can see them getting some load management during the season because they are so deep. It's going to be interesting to see this team when we are fully healthy. RWill and Langford are going to have to make MAJOR contributions because we're just too small.

Burn Out?/ I would bet on the opposite.. .Why would they burn out.?. Look at them on the bench laughing and cutting up. Like you said the Nets are deep real deep..

I'm not saying they will fade in the playoffs. All I'm saying is Kyrie will not be able to do what he did in this game on a regular basis. I do agree that the Celts need to play better. What the Nets have that the Celts don't is efficiency. So far the Nets are very efficient on offense.

Avery Bradley is STILL, pound for pound, the best on-ball defender in the NBA. He guards all wing players regardless.
As much as we need help from Kemba, his return brings obvious defensive limitations too. With Kemba in the lineup today, Kyrie probably goes for 50.

Tatum 0 free throws in 2 games! Brown was the best Celtic again tonight! The good news we're 1 nd 1, I expected us to be 0 and 2!! It's a long season boys, and hopefully Ainge will get us a power forward and Kemba returns healthy!!

But championships are not won in December. The Miami Heat were just a middle of the pack team last December and they ended up in the Finals. Again, it's true the Nets look great this early. But it's early, the playoffs is still 5 months away.
