word is they may put Durant on Tatum. Affects both ends/tired, but allows Brown to defend Brown.

I'll take my chances on the rest. Maybe Horford gets hot, maybe not. of course it's all fluid, the nets aren't exactly a rules-based team. and nash has put together a new lineup just about every game with his sub patterns, other than kyrie and durant play 40+

Well if the Celtics start big (i.e Theis or G.Williams) then Curry is going to be overmatched vs someone. I don't see him wrestling with Williams in the post. Irving will draw Smart.

yeah it's a witches brew. as you said zone might b best

Heat blowout of the hawks in the 1st half shows the importance of the 7 seed

Atlanta 2 intense must win games only a day inbetween to play a fully rested heat team

Thank you cavaliers

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 02:47 PM

You were right, Curry assigned to Theis. A pg defending a centre as an initial assignment... well I never.

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 02:50 PM

-not that I thought you were making it up. Had to see it to believe it lol

Celtics are too poor offensively to be considered contenders. Bucks are just as good defensively but have more vicious iso' guys and better shooters.

yeah when it comes down to it, there are 2 minutes left you need a guy who can get you a bucket. it's going to have to be tatum or brown. luckily for the nets tatum is cold, luckly for the celts kd is cold
Bucks go-to guy is middleton, no doubt. then yannis
This game is tighter than madonna when she was 12. i have no clue who's gonna win this one after 1q

**budwiser** · 04-17-22, 03:27 PM

KD 1 for 7 with 3 turnovers in the 1st half and the Nets are up 1. crazy

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 03:42 PM

Dragic so efficient. Winner!

**budwiser** · 04-17-22, 03:45 PM

tied at the half

the one obvious trend is the celts are double-teaming durant every time he gets the ball

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 03:45 PM

Mavs were hoping to get him cheaply early in the season but the Raptors didn't want to waive him.

yeah great half some costly turnovers for the nets, but that's the nets. you have to take the stupid plays to go with the rest

kd 2 for 10 4 turnovers and 2 fouls at the half wow.

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 03:49 PM

WHo do you got in the later games Budwiser? I have the BUlls covering in Milwaukee and the Pels covering the 1st half in Phoenix.

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 03:52 PM

Bulls have been shit ever since Williams returned. They lost their identity -Javonte Green was one of the breakout stories of the season as a 6'4 guy playing the 4-spot but since he's been relegated to the bench it's like they lost the heart & soul of their team. Double-digit handicap seems too much though. I expect the BUlls will show a lot of enthusiasm for they are the hunter in this matchup.

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 03:55 PM

Gotta love these American guys that played in Europe before going back to the NBA. I remember Green playing well for the Montenegrin national team as a naturalised player. Elite athlete and a bright guy. Limited skill but he knows how to play with what he has.

i know a TON about the bux had them all last year to the title, don't know much about the Bulls other than the players, i just don't watch them as a team enough to make a decision

i start watching the playoffs and i'll get more info on them

said before i think the bux are a fade. everyone seems to be getting on the bux wagon but they had everything go their way last year-trust me i was on them. they got 1 shooter in middleton and a dominant one-of-a-kind player in yannis. we'll see, i'm 100% sure i've got nothing on the bulls or the bux right this second

gl man!!

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 04:05 PM

Thanks

**budwiser** · 04-17-22, 04:05 PM

not looking good for the nets. all started when bruce brown doesn't get the ball on the out-of-bounds and it's a cherry turnover and dunk. kyrie should have taken the timeout

the guy is one of the dumbest players in the nba, and that's saying something. i can't tell you how many ignorant elementary-school brain farts the guy has game after game

i wasn't on the nets this game 1, but i might be on them game 2 if they lose as it looks likely now

the nets will have to get game 2, barring a big comeback

**budwiser** · 04-17-22, 04:06 PM

durant is going to have to hit shots for the nets to have any shot this game now

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 04:07 PM

I've seen enough Bucks games this season to know that if you execute well you can at least compete against them -if you're scoring efficiently then you're denying them those fastbreak chances they crave.

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 04:10 PM

Brown is a dummy for sure. He & Drummond are dumb & dumber.

yeah if forced i'm taking the bulls ml for small change. that's what you do with champions, everyone in their minds thinks they will win going away

the key to the bux is middleton. if middleton is not hitting, there's a real chance holiday isn't either. if that's the case anybody can beat them, as you said. if...

as you said yannis is great in the open court

so, we'll see. should b exciting

yeah talent but dumber than s h it

drummond looks dumb and isn't as much as brown, who looks intelligent but is a moron. brown went to the u, full of bravado without the brains

**budwiser** · 04-17-22, 04:29 PM

after the celts win i'll take the nets for game 2 ml, small

celts are great, wonderful...unbeatable. beating their chests. fans going nuts, everyone saying they're too strong. look at them strut their stuff!! kyrie sux!!!

perfect time to go the other way

it's just not happening for the nets today. the team is way too sloppy.

**budwiser** · 04-17-22, 04:31 PM

nets are -21 with bruce brown on the floor. i don't get what nash sees in the guy, something i'm unfamiliar with. he's front and center in the turnovers and the stupidity of the team.

as you said you need efficient smart players like dragic, not c ock dragging idiots who talk about how easy it's going to be to beat the celtics without williams

**budwiser** · 04-17-22, 04:36 PM

don't get me wrong full respect for the bux and for yannis. i just don't have a feel. gl man!

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 04:42 PM

wow what a game

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 04:44 PM

Looks like a Nets win to me. Celtics with a very uneven performance. I expect they'll be a lot better in game 2, win or lose.

**budwiser** · 04-17-22, 05:06 PM

awful. oh well. there's always next year.

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 05:08 PM

Seems like the Nets lost two games there. Celtics wont play that poorly twice in a row!

naa i don't think the celtics are all that.

the fan base is immature as is the team. these teams don't last.

the nets gotta win the next one. the nets are also immature, they can't hold down leads. leading the charge on that is bruce brown a f ing moron on the 1st degree. i shoulda realized the idiot they had on the team when making the wager. the guy had 5 points in 37 minutes, 1 rebound, 5 fouls can anyone explain other than steve nash and the coaching staff why the h ell he gets that much floor time

**budwiser** · 04-17-22, 05:16 PM

+17 when dragic was in, -13 when bruce "the idiot" brown was in

maybe he can talk after the game about how easy game 2 is. like he talked about how easy it will be with williams out. let's have at it big mouth

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 05:19 PM

Well who are they going to use at SF in place of him? Can't put three finesse guards on the floor or the defense will be terrible -even more terrible than it is already!

**Git Lo** · 04-17-22, 05:20 PM

dont see value in this considering they have to get past celtics then bucks just to get to conf finals. more value on individual games

**IBetYou** · 04-17-22, 05:23 PM

Drummond is the real disappointment for the Nets. Lakers made the same mistake on him last season. They started him in front of a proven guy by the name of Gasol. Can't defend. Turnover prone. Total fool.
