And I've never heard of a Herbert Jones, who's a starter for the Pelicans. Imagine if Zion is there.
And now there's some drama with Kyrie being fined $50,000 for obscene gestures at the crowd. The atmosphere would have been cooler had the C's been up against the Sixers or Hawks. I just made some review of last year's first round matchup with these same 2 teams Celtics and Nets and found out that Jaylen Brown missed the entire series with some injury. And last year's Celtics lineup had Kemba and Fournier with Tristan Thompson as center. The Nets had their big 3 in Kyrie , KD, and Harden, who scored 40 points in one game. Different lineups now and indeed the scary thing is if Ben Simmons come in somewhere in the series as their big point guard. Celtics need to win game 2, before Simmons come back.Big game in Boston tonight as the Celtics seem so different now than at the start of the season. Plus they have the DPOTY

Yes Steve. C's were down early, but there is poise in the team now that I can see. They trust their defense and coach Stan VG said he's never seen any team defend KD that well. And I'm very happy to see this youngster Pritchard score some points in pressure packed situations. They need to win 2 more, hopefully.Great win by the Celtics in the final 2 minutes. Final 114-107
Celts up 2-0 Phil

Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker is out indefinitely after suffering a right hamstring injury in Game 2 of the Phoenix’s first-round series with the New Orleans Pelicans, the team announced today.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Booker is “unlikely” to play in the next two games but could still return during the series.
they should be able to beat the Pels without him but after that there are the Suns and Grizz to contend withTough news for the Suns.
Will try to tune in later. The Wolverine have BIG KAT who's always a major force in the paint, and Anthony Edwards has stepped up. D Angelo Russell is also a reliable player. It's a solid team.Anyone watching the Grizz vs Wolves. In early 2nd period the Wolves are up 47-21 !!!!
The Wolves we’re the team I took notice to early in the season when they played the Lakers. I thought the Lskersxsould killl this young team. Wolves dominated each game.
Later in the season my Cinderella team is the Grizz but they are getting killed here
I hear he wants Kendrick Perkins as his assistant coach and Charles Barkley to be his talent scoutThis is intriguing. Sounds like Shaq is confident he can make things work for the Lakers.
Shaquille O'Neal says he'd coach the Lakers 'if they offered me $25 million a year'
