That was the best ending of a playoff game and possibly any game that I ever saw

Wow! Great finish to a great game.
Ime was NOT going to allow Kyrie to shoot that last shot.

My only worry is getting drawn into 7 games which will tire us out against the likes of the Bucks who have it easy with the Bulls

I was in the NBC bar and grill at universal studios in Orlando and the whole bar blew up, even the New Yorker

It's so huge that Smart seems to finally "get it". That last play spoke volumes about the difference with this team compared to years prior. It's such a shame this had to be a 1st round matchup as this is going to be a great series.

We escaped this one. Both Kyrie and Durant put on a show. But we built a 15 pt lead, also came back from being down 7. This should tell us that we can beat the Nets when we play good basketball.
Heck of a defensive effort on the Nets on their final possession, and wow, what an ending. Amazing pump fake and pass by Smart (proving his worth as a PG), and what instinct by Tatum to cut, catch, spin, and bank that layup in!!!

Amazing game. It's crazy that this is a first round matchup. IMO offensive rebounding is the difference. Boston beat Brooklyn 14-5 on the offensive glass.

How about 20 pts, 15 rebs for Al? Not bad for a guy many thought was done.
Looking at the +- in the box score, one thing that stands out is that our starters outplayed their starters.
I thought both teams played very nervous to start the game. Lots of fouls, lots of turnovers. I don't think we'll see that again.
Does Goren Dragic EVER have a bad game against us?

Guys like Al and Brook Lopez deserve a lot of credit for adding a credible 3 point shot to their arsenal late into their careers. It adds such a dangerous dimension to their games.

Dragic has that mid-range game which we seem to struggle with. Watching the team, we're really good at collapsing into the paint to prevent the near/close-range shot or closing out on guys at the perimeter.. but that spot in between seems to lull our guys into being uncommitted for fear of being blown by for a lay up or overhelping which puts them in a bad position to rotate to the perimeter.
