Being down 3 is a ing miracle.
he's terrified of contact. contorts every which way to avoid the slightest bump
This is the worst we’ve looked defensively in a long time. Playing a team as talented as Brooklyn will do that to you sometimes, but we’re also just missing defensive assignments and are late on rotations.
Poeltl literally passed up a dunk. ing A quit being so soft
Lonnie can never draw a damn foul. Take some lessons from Keldon, man
Where was Samanic? Rather tell Lyles to fold towels and get Luka more time.
Not bad only being down 3. This team is a nightmare matchup
Drives me crazy
lonnie needs to learn from derozan
its so infuriating because we know he has that in him. hes the kind of guy who should be able to score 20 in his sleep
They don't even have their best player,tbh...it would have been much worse
Well, being down 3 after that first half is almost miraculous. A lot we can improve on. Still, posters here complaining are forgetting the Nets are easily a top-2 contender in the league, maybe even number 1. Anyone expecting the Spurs to win this game any other way than a nail-biting finish is fooling themselves, we're by far the underdogs here.
That said.... We gotta stop those lobs somehow, man. Harden is tearing us apart.
Nets don't impress me at all, albeit the league is so this year that they might win the le anyway. If this were last season they don't get by the Heat/Bucks/Celtics tbh.
It's because it's Brooklyn. You have two major offensive superstars bending all attention their way and the rest of the Nets know their roles. Perimeter defense isn't doing Poeltl any favors, since has to help so much and they get dunks behind him.
Poetle was utterly useless on offense in that half. Harden was checking him at times. Thankful to be in it thanks to Derozan and Mills great play
Last season they destroy those teams. LOL. What the , those teams were bad last year too.
Spurs gonna keep this close until the last minute and then lose it in the end. Cue the tank posts and the "i was right, this team sucks" posts right after that. ST is too predictable.
Only reason I give them a shot is because their biggest compe ion in the East right now is an Uncle Tom Rivers-coached team.

The fact the Spurs are still in this is a minor miracle.
‘Having a Vassell or White out there to handle the multiple actions/switches/rotations Brooklyn forces you into, would have really helped.
Unlikely that LMA sits in the 2nd half, but wouldn’t object to some small ball Luka at the 5.
Demar is having a spectacular game tonight. Right duncan2k5?
Seriously, a team outside the top 10 in defense has never won the le. The Nets aren't even average defensively. They're also coached by Steve Nash and Coach Pringles.
So why is everyone wanting to trade DDR when the Spurs should think about 3 year extension? I don’t care if he misses clutch shots, I like watching him play.
