![]() ![]() Since the other Nets got cold, they only had 16 assists as a team and had to rely on Harden to do all the scoring. James Harden was one of the few Nets who were able to get it going on offense as his 41/10/7 to only one turnover would usually get the gold star of the evening, but somebody got in the way. It’s not often you lose after your ace puts 40 on the board. I’ve seen some calls for Nash to expand the rotation to get guys like DeAndre Jordan or an Alize Johnson in to help on the glass. Without Green, the Nets are down their most versatile big (other than KD) so it’ll be interesting to see how Steve Nash and the coaching staff try to compensate for the loss. As for Griffin, the Celtics have been doing a great job of exploiting the weaknesses in his game on defense and Blake has had his struggles for the most part. Just gotta keep playing and working it out. Young bigs making their first appearances in the postseason tend to struggle, so it’s no surprise the young bull has been up and down in these three games. TT picked the right time to have his best game in green and Brad Stevens’ guys are going to need it again if they want to even the series up.įor the Nets, the center duo of Blake Griffin and Nicolas Claxton will need to bring a little bit more to the table tonight. Boston won the boards in game three thanks in large part to Tristan Thompson. The Nets won the rebounding battle in the two games at Barclays which helped propel them to victory. yeah, y’all got it.Ĭontrol the boards, control the game. ![]() I’ve been seeing people praise Jaylen Brown’s pregame commentary on Kyrie, racism, etc as powerful, must read, and. He missed a bunch of shots we’ve seen him make a million times and considering how masterful he’s been with his shot this year, I’d bet he’ll get it going early to get the vibes right. Kyrie Irving had a rough outing in his first game back at Boston with the fans - there was even an “F Kyrie” chant at Fenway Park last night! - but he’s played in tension-packed, high stakes environments before and excelled so look for him to bounce back. Speaking of crowds, all eyes will be back on the man of the hour. It promises to be raucous, so hopefully nobody does anything like spit on the players, calling the players slurs or anything like that. Now that we’re further and further away from the size limitations that dominated this season, it’s going to be interesting to see how players on both sides adjust. The C’s expect to have near full capacity in the arena, an anticipated 17,000, which would be the biggest crowd the Nets have seen this season, home or away. Robert Williams was in a walking boot after the game after spraining his left ankle. Alize Johnson (ankle sprain) is a late scratch. Jeff Green and Spencer Dinwiddie are out. Read about the game from Boston’s perspective here. The Nets lead the series 2-1 now with the series moving to every other day from here on out. The Brooklyn Nets had an opportunity to put the Boston Celtics in the ground, but the C’s kept their series alive with a crucial victory in front of the hometown crowd. ![]()
