I’d like to think we could expect better games from Trezz, Kuz and KCP next time we play them in Brooklyn. If we get that trip scheduled in Part 2 |

Are we going to be "fine?" |
Yes we are going to be fine. If they shoot like this in the playoffs, then we won’t be the champion. However, I am confident they can do it. |
I disagree.
This team is not cohesive in the least, has an iceberg as a center, have porous defense everywhere, and can't seem to score consistently outside of LBJ. Sadly, that also includes AD.
Our wins over Boston and Milwaukee seem to be fool's gold because, outside of them, I can't think of an actually impressive win since Christmas Day. |
Well, then you can watch them lose. I am very confident they can handle the nets in the finals (if we ever get there) |
So you don't actually have a counter to what I said other than to say that we'll be fine just because we will be.
Alright then. |
I literally told you we will be fine because our shots will fall in the playoffs, and if they don’t, we won’t win. Their role players made open 3s, ours didn’t. Simple as that. |
Brilliant analysis there. Truly top notch.
Surely has nothing to do with our shortcomings elsewhere.
These back-and-forth is pointless, so no point in continuing it. |

| Well that was exactly the game I was hoping it would not be. I was hoping even if we lost it would be a competitive and exciting game on national television. Yet it was not. I need a cup of tea. |

Bad game by him tonight...I mean, probably his worst. His attacks to the rim looked really bad. |

This way, the front office will take a serious look at deficiencies before the playoffs. |
Good post. |
Agree, but how many more 'losses against a contending team' and 'displaying our obvious flaws' will it take for the front office to do something? Even then, a meaningful tweak to the roster may even be out of their control. |

Exactly, it is pointless to talk with people who have no confidence in our team. |

You know it’s amazing how fast fans get spoiled win a championship and expect every game to just be a cakewalk this team has gone extended winning streak’s and it’s one of the top teams in the west to say that they “don’t have it is just (bleep) stupid
It’s just not going to be as easy as it was last year |

We have a much better chance by just by adding Dennis back into the lineup.
That’s a guarantee 15-25 points where missing. |

Alright then. |
Come on Blue, its all narrative at this point, you want him to start tossing out a glowy narrative to counter your pissy narrative?  I'm as agitated at this loss as anyone, but I'll say this...team just needs to stay competitive while AD is out (and grab another big perhaps?) and things should be back in play.
Wont dispute the 3 shooting has become so bloody awful more times than not that it is concerning. To that I can only say "law of averages?" |
Nah, I wanted a decent counter to the obvious deficiencies. I didn't get it, so I pressed, but to no avail, so I am giving it up.
But to your point, stay competitive and hope AD actually plays like himself when he does return.
For the 3-point shooting, I'm just wondering why players shoot lights-out until they put on our uniform. Matthews was at least decent from 3 last year. This year...eesh. Except for that 6/6 game, of course. |

This game has really exposed what I've been saying all along. Vogel has done nothing to maximize the strengths of this team, outside of Bron/AD. Everyone is just encouraged to pass to Bron/AD, stand around, and wait to ne spoon fed an open shot. Rinse, repeat. That makes up 99% of our offense. Now, with AD out, we're forced to play more team oriented ball, and we struggle, because guys are asked to do things this team has no familiarity with. It's going to be a struggle. And, it's going to be ugly. They should have been trying to play team ball, from the start of the season...
Also, the Nets got off to a hot start, because of bad defensive breakdowns, as well as bad defensive matchups by Vogel. On to the next...
