Comments From The Other Side - vs Brooklyn, Home

Anything but a comfortable 10-15 point win will disappoint. Celtics have looked awful recently and are without Bradley.

I don't care if its emotional for pierce and garnett, that's no excuse to lose to an inferior team. And I hope kidd doesn't give them a built in excuse to lose like he did against Toronto.

Fans are going to blow the roof off the Garden when Paul is introduced.








it’s pretty crazy that Pierce ended up leaving Boston. Never thought about it really till now. He IS the Celtics, more than anyone in my lifetime, and questionably one of the greatest C’s of all time. They’ll definitely retire his wheelchair in the rafters. I kid I kid.

He is more renown by Celtics fans Then Bird or Mchale. Maybe he wasn’t as good but for so long he was the heart of that team and a stand up individual

HUMP AND WALLACE ARE GOING TO BE EXTRA AGGRESSIVE

And they'be both been playing well. Yeah, I 'll bet you are right! In Crash’s mind, he didn’t want to go to a rebuilding team and it was a surprise. In Hump’s mind, it was the best thing that ever happened to him. But I’m sure he wants to beat the Nets.

Hump was miss used by Avery and PJ , I really like his hustle

#TheReturn everyone was waiting for




Let's go Nets! Keep the wins coming Brooklyn and make Bill Simmons cry!

Kg and Pp deserve a standing ovation !

Wow this is making me emotional didn’t expect that. Boston fans are among the greatest fans in sports

A New York team is getting cheered in Boston. Is this real life?

Celtics and nets should just combine teams

I just want to say to everyone. There is no way we trade Pierce and why would you? He will come up huge in the playoffs and it would break KG.        And to all of you saying “They understand, its a business” No, its not JUST a business. I guarantee none of you have ever been as passionate about your jobs as KG and Pierce are about basketball. So please stop with the Trade Pierce nonsense

Your right it would ruin the team's mojo with him gone

Wow.... The crowd reception for PP. I'm getting choked up

Wow Just wow

Damn Celtics trying to use emotion to get this victory lol

Loud boos for Kidd. I don’t blame them

Watching the espn feed cuz I'm in the bay area... Crowd was amazing

Antoine Walker is somewhere crying right now

Crying and broke. So sad

I don't like Rondo

That 3 from Crash was for PJ

Uuuuuuuuuuuugly Screw these emotions, play some ball

Damn tribute I knew this would happen

Inb4 Wallace f***s around and gets a triple double.

Crowd is crazy here. Cheers anytime pierce touches it. More cheers for piece then for the Celtics

Really poor so far on offense. KG & Pierce could be emotional wrecks after the end of the 1st period video's they are going to run for them.

Pierce has a handful in Bass

Look at that Hump hustle I miss that dude. Despite a lack of athleticism, he’s such a smart and tough player

Boston has been doing a fantastic job They are clearly pumped up for this

They play way better than their record. Pressey is good, Sullinger is good!

Imagine if you are a Celtic!

KG is awesome

Man their keeping Garnet out of the game with this emotional stuff, Great for him though

Its a Celtics trap Trying to distract these players from winning this game tonight

Should have played KG and Pierce against the Celtics in preseason Could have gotten this out the way

Pierce is shook. Kidd needs to just sit him tonite. He clearly has nothing rigrht now

ELEVEN points against the same team that lost by 20+ to the Durant less thunder.

Boston is playing real hard to Pierce and KG's emotions. It's genius, really

Terry is in the game...10-0 run for the Celtics incoming

Both teams are playing like its the 4th quarter of an exhibition game

The could've at least done these tributes before the game or during half time Not during a timeout though lol This is def a Celtics strategy

Pierce is enjoying it too much

The Celtics is his life Let him enjoy it

Man Pierce is trying hard to focus but that isn't happening for a while.

Whoa, they keep going. Nice reception, really.

Gerald Wallace does not give two s**** about your Paul Pierce tribute video. He's complaining to the ref.

Celtics are no strangers to tricky stuff with opposing teams Whether it’s hot, tiny vistors locker rooms with no water back in the day, to playing video tributes during timeouts. This is classic Boston.

The Celtics being a bad team is why we are still in this game.

We are so lucky that Boston is a miserable team…….

And Boston is lucky that we have two starters whose emotions have had an effect on our play.

Joe Johnson should get a video tribute (MY NOTE:  For playing one year here?  For being lucky enough to be drafted by the Boston Celtics?)

Hey Deron, Pressey can't guard you. Attack the basket.

Ian with the jokes “we’ll have a video tribute for Donny Marshall after the break”

I get the tributes and such but the Celtics only won 1 championship It isn’t like Kobe left the Lakers and is coming back to LA.

Pierce was the Celtics Kobe regardless of titles

Which is 1 more championship than the Nets have won in their NBA history

Boston has the best fans in sports that’s why The Nets couldn’t even stay in one state…

I’ll defer to the Celtics organization and Celtics fans on having a better handle on how to pay tribute to two of their storied franchise’s biggest all-time stars. But that’s just me.

One championship, two Finals appearances, and a lot of great moments and playoff runs It’s not easy to win multiple titles with Kobe’s legacy and the Miami superteam on the rise soon after Boston came together.

How come JET isn't the focus in any of these tribute videos? He played 2,124 minutes for the Celtics! What a classless organization!

JET's in. Cheer, Celtics fans! Jerks...(MY NOTE:  See Johnson, Joe above.  I guess when you're a Net fan a year is an eternity)

Thank god this Celtic team sucks. If they were any good, this would be a blowout.

Crowd is chanting Jason Terrys name. Lol

LMAO Terry is horrible

Terry is ******* awful

Jason terry. Worst player. Ever.

Seriously, there's no defending this guy. Just awful.

Ok Pierce, we get it, now focus on the **** game, you are playing AWFUL.

Wallace earns $10m per for another 2 years after this, let that sink in........and we are the cause of it haha

I'm really getting fed up with Terry. Totally unproductive

Geez Wallace is playing with a chip on his shoulder...

Boston will slow down in the 2nd half, they always come out strong and then deteriorate

Wait they can do worse than 30 points in a half?

Yup, seen some Celtics games on league pass, not pretty

Just grind out this win And trade Terry.  (MY NOTE:  We beat you to it!)

This isn’t even a game, just one big Paul Pierce tribute

Crash looks stunningly mediocre His body is just finally falling apart

What a flop by Wallace

Yeah, I could see how others found it annoying when he was doing it in a Nets jersey.

The inevitable Celtics tankathon

Brad Stevens looks like he could pass for a bench warmer

I bet he gets stopped at some arenas

I like pierce hes a nice guy but if we get even a decent offer he should be dealt Just doesn't have it

Worried about sullinger grabbing 10 offensive rebounds in the 4th

Tank mode for the Celtics

Crap. Of course Hump and Wallace killing us right now.

This Celtics team is so annoying

Somebody remind pierce he is a net (MY NOTE:  He's not, he's a Celtic.  You just have him on a short rental)

Who is Chris Johnson. And why is he good?

Gerald Wallace staring down the Nets bench really bothers me Never wanted to punch Wallace in the face more than now. What a bum.

Jeff Green is fools gold. Celtics should’ve never traded for him

He can be a very good complementary player

that's not good enough for what they gave up

Brandon Bass is probably their third best player

Rondo hitting 3s What in the world

GET PIERCE OUT OF THE GAME!

Of course Rondos best game so far this year Lmaoo always happens to us

KG with the dagger

Please take PP out so he doesn't foul on a 3

There is no one like Kevin Garnett

Those videos were real tear jerkers




Halfway through the season and I still don't see what Paul Pierce brings to this team.

Lots of intangibles….does not always have to be scoring…..

he holds down that small PF spot quite well. his rotations are good. And he brings something we didnt have.. a Winner… It will show more-so in playoffs than right now. Its a while ago, but remember him punking lebron in the 2nd game? Pretty much.. That.. We wont back down attitude.

He brought kg to the Nets. Enough said!!!
