One hour. Sixty minutes. Three thousand six hundred seconds. This is the dangerous wait that has crept in between the end of Clippers – Mavericks and the start of this Nets – Celtics. Well done to those who held on, your fan experience is substantial. And for those who have fallen in love love handles from Morpheus, we have what you need. Debrief.
The pretty house boxscore, it’s here
We had not seen more unbalanced since Yuta Watanabe in front of Anthony Edwards. Just to quote the poster, the ghosts of the biggest panties in history tickle the back of our necks. On paper, this Brooklyn Nets – Boston Celtics gives the Barclays Center residents the edge. But with hindsight and a lot of consideration for Vavane Fournoche’s gang, well it’s the same. The Greens have even less chance of passing than under Eva Joly and sacred fun is the one who screams the opposite. Without Jaylen Brown – out for the Playoffs – Brad Stevens must compose to restrict Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and James Harden. The kind of mission you put on an 87-year-old scotch before. It is not known if the Celtics’ velleda was completely cooked during the game, but it is possible that he toasted with the Nets. New Yorkers see double and swing 0/9 from the parking lot in the first quarter. Although the intensity is present on both sides, the Celtics take advantage of a perfectly correct address to seize the lead. We appreciate the contribution of Robert Williams who – on a drive from Kyrie Irving – slams the swells of the little conspirator. A quick glance at Kevin Durant, not perfectly back in his game. In addition to a nasty 2/10 shooting, the freak almost lost his life on a fall that would have made Baumgartner quadriplegic. Saved by his chewing gum body? Yes. Celtics pull off the feat of limiting the League’s best offense to 16 points in the first quarter. Even if Tristan Thompson slaps James Harden at a very high altitude, Brooklyn’s attack settles a few minutes before the intermission. It is on the throwing line that the Nets superstars meet. First Kyrie Irving, then James Harden comes to say hello, before Blake Griffin comes to pour an herbal tea. Tranquillou-bidou, the gap is already not so big (Boston Celtics 53 – 47 Brooklyn Nets).

Back to business and whistled foul to Jayson Tatum for an excellent defense on Kevin Durant. This quarter is complicated for Boston who eats a 31-20 and suffocates under the bombs of star players. In response to a nice tap from Tristan Thompson, Kyrie Irving plays Twister with Payton Pritchard putting his right hand on the ground. We did not count the number of supports per second of the leader of Brooklyn but we are willing to bet that it equals the number of supports of Tacko Fall over the season. Funny fact, Jeff Green – not in his mittens tonight – played a Playoffs match with seven different teams. Rather nice when some dream of fighting postseason if only once in their career. And the least we can say is that he chose his squad from the moment. Apart from the mixtape which Kevin Durant is in the process of pardoning us, lieutenants like Nicolas Claxton drive perfectly in the collective highway. But the Celtics do not abdicate and gradually defeat the gap to pick up a few units in the last quarter. The Big Bear Robert Williams perfectly contains a James Harden who – for a change – plays it in isolation. The interior then poses its eighth block (nine at the end) and becomes the only Boston player to achieve this perf in a single Playoffs meeting. Little next to his pumps, Evan Fournier misses a few shots and the Nets start again in the lead. An award-winning shot from Jeff Green sealed the outcome: Brooklyn won Game 1. Without forcing, the trio James Harden – Kyrie Irving – Kevin Durant compiled 82 points. Less pleasant to watch than Bucks and Mavericks, Steve Nash’s troupe at least had the merit of doing the job. We had certainties (the trend of this series, the failings of Boston in painting, the worth of Robert Williams, the myopia of Kemba Walker), they are now verified.

Well honestly, it was frankly not foolish! Longer and shorter than the two previous matches, this match – as hard as it is – was a bit livid. The spectators were at the rendezvous, but the excessive isolation has somewhat ugly the content of this win. Boh, it’s not like it’s gonna be that until the Finals.
