The refing has been a little questionable to say the least.

[lebron james kid voice] jayson tatum

jayson tatum

Durant missing those is an utter disaster

given that bruce brown and dragic were the best nets players tonight by a wide margin it’s remarkable the game was even this close

tatum and brown were bad too is why

celtics vibes are off the charts

lmao marcus and jaylen communing with marcus left hand

they're playing incredible ball and they're very fun, it's hard not to love the celtics! weird!

theyre lovable everyone get on board choo choo

absolute balls of steel from the celtics to win that one

i think the balls of steel were being shot by the nets, actually

lol

that brown & smart is one for the '100 photos' thread. lol!

well ultimately the game was always going to come down to KD vs Payton Pritchard in crunch time

felt like those two games were a great encapsulation of the entire debate surrounding the nets. game 1 kyrie almost singlehandedly wins them the game, game 2 he & KD are so tired they essentially literally cannot make a shot and they piss the lead away. in the end, they just don’t have enough.

yeah

both of them having to play 40mins a game for the last month just to make the play in cant be helping right now

congrats to payton for finding some minutes if he can avoid being totally victimized on d they can def use his offense, celtics really should be destroying the nets d tho regardless and so far theyre not

drawing nets --> bucks --> [other east bracket winner] --> [western conf champ] is a truly brutal path

the nets are capable of playing good defense but they're not built to do it for 48 minutes, i mean the core problem for them is they're not a normal basketball team

harden with five fouls is he trying to play defense or something haha

It's been a pretty rough game all around.

This game is right there for the Sixers' taking, but they don't seem sure they want it, lol.

ridiculous shot joel embiid

whoa what happened to Bobby

james harden having a very eventful last minute of this game

oh no precious

yeah…. that’s a tough one

...lol tobias harris

both these teams are gassed

It's been more like a brawl - 3s, fouls, and turnovers.

feels like precious might’ve wanted to hit one of those FTs

wouldve been better

crazy philly didnt get their first lead til ot

maxeys the only one with any juice left

fair

Grant Williams on fourth quarter offensive run: "We kept running the same thing over and over."

maxey has the vibe of like a 6 year old who won’t stop running around

What a shot by Joel.

wow bad call
