Boston’s Daniel Theis says Nets players’ postgame criticism ‘is probably not the right move’

It did not take long for the team to use the slight against Theis and teammate Al Horford as bulletin board material.

It did not take long for the Boston Celtics to make use of Bruce Brown’s bulletin-board material words shared after the forward’s Brooklyn Nets dispatched the Cleveland Cavaliers to secure the right to face the Celtics in the first round, according to MassLive’s Brian Robb.

In fact, one of the targets of Brown’s inflammatory words — which implied that the Celtics’ frontcourt would provide an easy opportunity for the Nets to score in the paint on Boston big men Al Horford and Daniel Theis with starting center Robert Williams III — found out about the slight at practice when he (Theis) and his teammates arrived at practice this past Wednesday.

“When we were in the locker room, it came up, and also like in film sessions, (they) just showed it. Coaching staff showed (the clip of Brown’s postgame comments),” explained the German center.
