Comments from the Other Side - Nets 11/20/15

Great game for the Celtics.  I love how they just kept pouring it on.  No let ups.  The fact that the Celtics own the Nets' pick makes this even better.  They were talking how bad the Celtics offense is and then have to watch the Celtics set a new high for FG%.   I love that players are giving Brad Stevens props.  All the better to get a star player to come to Boston for a chance to play for him.    Fun game!  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours?  



After all the ish Bill Simmons been talking on Twitter (and the fact that the Celtics got all our picks), I’d really love to crush them tonight. Would make for such an enjoyable Friday night.

Len Bias would have been 63?? Dang, that guy is aging even faster in the grave!

I'm not usually a pessimist, but... I think we lose both games and get blown out for one of them.

The bench is why the Nets are losing games Whenever the starters come in they have to make up huge deficits.

Less then 1 minute into Celtics pre game & they talk about the draft pick Ughhh sometimes I hate living near Boston. On top of that I get 48 minutes of Tommy Heinsohn

Boston sports announcers are absolutely insufferable. I don't know what it is about that city, but it systematically breeds homerism.

Just punish Thomas on defense. Involve him in pick and rolls and exploit the mismatch with JJ posting him up. The Mavericks abused him all night that way. I bet they will try to hide him on RHJ, if that happens, the Nets have to try to give him the ball as well. Their offense, they're not that scary. They often just stand around while Thomas dribbles around. Not that great of a shooting team

What strikes you about them is just the energy level and bench. You know they will play really hard and come in droves.

Celtics defense is very good this year

I think we'll play them tough. Winning is another case entirely.

Lets do this. Lets make them bleed!!!!

No one on the Celtics can guard Brook. We better take advantage of that.

It is torture listening to these Boston announcers If I was a Celtics fan they would annoy the ish out of me

You said it yourself: they're "Celtics fans". These announcers are music to their ears :wink:

Hmmmm....looking pretty clear that refs are going to let Celts foul whenever they want Reach-ins and over-the-backs aren’t fouls as long as you’re wearing Celts jersey

It's not even like Boston is playing great basketball tonight... We’re just really, really bad

TRob looks like a stiff out there... I thought he was athletic

I guess its looked down on around here but I'm kinda hoping for a loss Don’t think this organization will ever change till their hand is forced.

Bargniani is so useless on D. Got destroyed by Olynyk off the dribble.

Our bench is just so bad Thomas Robinson is playing like crap but his replacement is bargs. It’s a no win situation, might have to start playing thad 40 mins a game.

This. Pretty awful to watch. Makes bad players look even worse.

How can Bargs be soooo bad? At everything?

Do you see Hollins ?!! This is how you coach! Wish we had brad Steven smfh

David Lee looking like Kareem...

It honestly looks as though we're nursing a hangover

David Lee having a throw back game like he was playing with the Knicks and D'antoni

LOL... This is the team getting our lottery pick

What I don't understand is how after 3 early fouls on Boston (in first 4 minutes), we have shot a grand total of zero free throws since.

Because we're taking 20-footers every trip down the floor?

Stevens with a preemptive timeout Sign of a good coach

Every game I find myself saying how underrated coaching is in the NBA

Having the worst coach in the NBA will do that

Forget preemptive coaching adjustments I’d settle for regular ‘emptive’ coaching adjustments

Horrendous call. Even the Celts homers said it was a clear block.

Are we really THIS BAD?!?!?!

Lol yes

Stevens is just straight up punking Hollins at every turn with his coaching this game.

I'm hoping for blow outs in both games against Boston Maybe that will be enough for a coaching change. This tam needs a new voice

Like I've been saying, our perimeter defenders have had easier matchups the last few games. This Celtics team can hit the three from every position and is very quick.

This should easily be a team that fights for the 7/8/9 spots in the East Instead, here we are…

Do you really believe that? There is very little talent on this team

Stevens is a great coach

Celtics shot 86% in 2nd qtr

Lee highlights look like he's Jordan

This charade has gone on long enough. Clean house, dump King, dump Lionel.

You can’t go through the Pistons or even Boston’s bench and tell me that they’re that much better than ours either

Bostons bench is so much better than ours it's not even close. They pretty much have two starting units.

Just tuned in now Can someone explain

First half summary: Our players are bad and our coach is bad and everything is bad

We have no bench

Nets were hanging with Celts Then David Lee happened….hit every shot he took to start 2nd quarter…literally…he made Brook look silly. After that…Celts guards got hot and Nets had no answers.

This is a great roster for tanking. Too bad Boston has our pick.

We could be looking at 3 straight seasons of just gifting high lotto picks to Boston...

Why do we always get messed up by the Celtics

They have nba caliber players and a good coach and we have Andrea bargnani

Celtics told Stevens is there are 4 games you HAVE to win this season its the 4 against us

Not surprised the Celtics are blowing us out. They have a lot of talent and a top 10 coach. They are a playoff team IMO if they were trying buy they aren’t. Our pick combined with theirs.. We are on the verge of creating a young powerhouse in the east

it's pretty telling when nets players were interviewed before the game both thad and jack gave Stevens a ton of credit. Boston got a steal of a head coach

Just walking in from work, turns on TV sees score laughs… its beyond me how we have only 9 assists to the Celtics 23??? Good gosh there is no way King isn’t fired by tomorrow

Boston will get there franchise player in the upcoming draft

Their bench could beat our starters

We need reinforcements… Is Bostjan Nachbar busy?

How bout Nenad krstic

I’m sold. We could probably use Eddie House too

I might hate the C's more then Toronto They have everything we want, literally. A coach,young talent, and a pick or two

I hate the whole Atlantic so much now Except for the Sixers. They haven’t done anything to warrant too much hate. Wait Nevermind, they pretty much gave us Billy King.

So... When is the press conference announcing Hollins' firing?

If 4-7 warrants mchales exit....anytime now

If bricking mid-range jumpers was the most valuable basketball play, Bargniani would be greatest ever.

Celtics try making it as ugly for the opponents as possible Smart recently stated that they all just want to make their opponents just feel defeated and humiliated every game.

I can't disagree with how smart feels. Hell that's how EVERY 80's NBA team used to think.

NOT sure If this is NBA basketball!

I was looking forward to seeing zombies on the walking dead Sunday night. Guess I don't have to wait. They're playing tonight.

I just want Hollins to say post game "we suck, this team sucks and we need to get our heads out of our asses and play like a got damn professional basketball team"

I turned the game off, but apparently this happened

Celtics up 24. Fans now chanting, "Brooklyn draft picks."
