 Hi everybody, great to have you with us on Post Game Plus. Bob Lorenz and Frank Isola with you. The Nets returning from their all-star break Thursday. They beat the Celtics, 121 to 109. Another inspiring performance against Boston by Kairi Irving. He was tremendous tonight. And if you go to the final four minutes of this game, Boston had cut it to a two-point game. The Nets close out the game, 13-3 run. Kairi had eight of those points, two big three-pointers. You know that he loves playing as his former team. And let's not forget about Landry Shamet, the job that he did with 18 points. Kairi and Landry Shamet combined to go 11 for 17 on three-pointers. It's impressive. 39 bench points, by the way, for the Nets. And with that win, they improved to 25 and 13. It's the first time they've been at least 12 games over 500 since the end of the 2012-2013 season, which was one year, or year one, rather, for the franchise in Brooklyn. When Kairi met the media afterwards, our Michael Grady asked what it was like for him to take part in the NBA's all-star festivities this past Sunday. And then to reunite with his teammates and defeat Boston the way they did. It felt good. Just be able to get a few days of rest, so to say, really blessed to be able to play on that platform with so many great players, and then come straight into the season again. It is what it is. So we just had a nice practice yesterday. You should have saw the first five minutes. They were horrible. We went up and down scrimmaging. Everybody getting back from vacation, so to say. So we just wanted to come out and play with maximum effort. And I mean, going against the Celtics, we'll see them down the line later on in the season more, probably in the playoffs as well. Who knows? But we just want to match their effort tonight and just have fun out there. It's really what we want to do. Just enjoy competing at a high level. You guys welcoming Blake Griffin into the mix now, waiting on Kevin to return from injury. So much talent on this team. But you know how hard it is to win a championship. To be successful, what is it going to take to get on the same page and achieve that ultimate goal? Just controlling what we can control. We can't necessarily control some of the circumstances with COVID or things that come up with the team or injuries and stuff like that. So we just control what we can control every single night. Got a lot of healthy bodies, a lot of high IQ basketball players in the locker room. Great coaching staff. So we're just doing it together alongside everybody that's on the journey with the fans that support in. Obviously, everybody out there. This season, it just means something different for us. Play with a different purpose. So all of that is factored in in terms of what's going on in the season. It's just about something bigger. We just want to see guys be happy in this league. Guys play with other guys that they've seen for a while as competitors or, like I said, it's just about feeling good. A Brooklyn will return to action Saturday with a matchup against Detroit. 6.30 is the start time for our coverage, which you can watch on TV or stream through the brand new Yes app available wherever you download your apps. For Frank Heisola and Bob Lorenz, thanks for watching Post Game Plus.
