For this second game in this series of the first round of the Playoffs between the Celtics and the Nets, we were treated to another wonderful game… from Playoffs, but clearly on a different register than Game 1, which we tell you the story. ‘story’ here† the† here or the† After the offensive orgy the day before, we move on to setting up a ferry lock, to the all-important lieutenants reinforcements, and to this game that hit Boston very hard last night.
The Game 2 home stats under tension are here!
The TD Garden’s breath could even be heard in our living room last night. Maybe that’s why Caramel and Guyzmo, my two males, were so excited, but at least we could clearly smell the Play-offs from the start of the game. Kyrie Irving booed as expectedMarcus Smart receiving his award for defender of the year hands by Gary Payton and for his audience, in HIS house, the perfect aperitif for a Game 2 that promised mountains and wonders in basketball.
This game? Let’s go. A start dominated by the Nets franchise player, the irremovable… Bruce Brown, author of his team’s first nine points, the first nine points of the game overall. Bruce Brown 9, Celtics 0, a Playoffs game is sometimes played on details and attention to the Greens because the contribution of this devil of Bruce Marron may be one of them. Mandatory response for locals, quick if possible, and if leaders struggle to make an impact, it is first of all the entry of Grat Williams that puts Ime Udoka’s squad back in the game. Daniel Theis and Al Horford are solid below, the cubic Williams throws a dozen pawns at 100%, but opposite KD has apparently learned from his Game 1 and is attacking his side in a very serious way. Kyrie Irving? Whistling on every ball touched, that is the PEGI 18 version, and clearly authorized at the end of the first quarter to go to the locker room to … break his fastbecause we remind you that whatever Kyrie is doing now, Kyrie is doing it in the middle of Ramadan, what a man for sure.
At least the gap is in favor of the Nets after fifteen minutes and Boston is now waiting for the All-Stars house to wake up. Spoiler, this awakening will take a long time to come as it is basically a group of lieutenants who will then let the C’s stay in the game. Make room for Grunts Theis and Horford in the racket, incredibly handy this nightbut for the rest, the work of the shadow of these soldiers is definitely overshadowed by that of other soldiers. same shit for the Nets with struggling leaders, same solutions as the X factors have heading for us. Seth Curry looking at everyone with every returned basket and most importantly, the incredible second quarter of Goran Dragic, author of fifteen points on the period and elusive in the best of times like Basile Boli in May 93. Enough to make it to the bathroom break with still this gap of about ten points, and in Boston we are still waiting for the awakening of the house All-Stars, especially a Jayson Tatum who ended up waiting more than an hour before leaving register his first basket in play.
Back from the locker room and a useful run – you surprise me – from the Celtics, Al Horford and Daniel Theis continue their work and the Brown/Tatum duo finally get a few shots. The gap drops below five points promising us another bad end to the game, yay yeah, and the part players will continue to play all through the third quarter, because such an important game is also winning with these small hands. Is there any other news from Kevin Durant? Not on his plate the bastard, even worse than during Game 1, KD not returning…not ANY shot of the whole second halfas rare as utterly improbable, as unforgivable as it is creepy considering the 54 pawns he’ll logically put in Brooklyn in two days.
Ding dong, money time is approaching, the hour of the greats. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are asked at the reception on the Nets side, Jayson Tatum is asked not to look in the mirror for the Cs anymore, and it is therefore clear… Jaylen Brown who is the Greens’ revolt from basketball sounds, as we remember that the Greens will move from football to Ligue 2. Seth Curry scores the first two points of the latest recovery but Jaylen and surprise guest… Payton Pritchard scores the next 14 to put Boston ahead and destroy TD Garden† KD would miss an elephant in a bathroom, Kyrie Irving doesn’t seem too concerned about it, the momentum is dark green and the crowds of the green army defenders are in charge to spice things up a bit more. The wind seems to have turned, no, the wind has turnedand so it turned in favor of the Massachusetts players, smarter, fiercer in defense and carried by a hot crowd that was boiling in the money age.
The Celtics win 114-107 after a long hesitating but finally mastered game like a boss† 2-0 and we head to Brooklyn for two games, with an expected and mandatory wake-up call for Steve Nash’s players. What should be especially remembered about these first two games? It’s that regardless of the level of the Nets, it’s that of the Celtics that impresses, the Cetlics who sent a great message about this start of the series, who may not have revealed all their secrets, but who are still leaving on a very … green trend.
