I like feeding Gobert but have to agree with you today. We got too creative with Gobert today.

31 points given up, 57% FG.

Where has our defense gone?

Ant is terrible the first. Bad shoot, TO. No one is moving the ball when Mike. We have to find a solution as it won't wotk when PO come. KAT have to get the ball more. Several time ANT got the ball in hand is just don;t see KAT is wide open. Tunnel vision is not something easy to fix. Hope ANT wake up.

I haven't seen Towns so much under control for a long long time.

Good news is, it seems like KAT is starting to round back into top form even though the team is falling off a bit.

Not a surprise when make a good run involving KAT much more with ANT on the bench.

wtf. You can’t sudden stop in transition when being trailed. Otherwise it’s supposed to be an offensive foul.

Taking care of business in the 2nd quarter. Ant scoring efficiently. Too many TOs yes. KAT can't miss.

The most locked in defensive quarter wolves have had in awhile

I like when the guards switch rather than trying to fight through screens, helps that Nets don’t really have a guy that’s just going to kill a switch on Conley, like a SGA

Great second really. First Finch have the gut to sit ANT for 7 min. KAT was huge , we level up the defense. I suspect Ant to have a chat with Mike in the bench because he came back with the perfect spirit, Good defense, take care of the ball, shoot selection great. When ANT play at this level he is a top player. Nice to see.

Much better 2nd quarter.

We need to keep playing like this.

We are taking care of business. Keep increasing the lead. Rest all the starters last 6 minutes of the game.

A pet peeve of mine is when they say the player had x points on y shots using total points. It's not true. If a player is 1-2 with 30 made FTs he didn't score 32 points on 2 shots. He scored 2 points on 2 shots and 30 points on 30 FTs. Ant has 19 points on 13 shots plus 3 points on 4 FTs. Nice efficiency.

Looking much better though Brooklyn is still hitting shots, these guys got some game.

Simmons not playing!! What a shock!

I think of all the Simmons for Kat trade talk which I hated a few years ago. What a disaster that would have been.

Crap lead is down to 9. Seems we can never make it easy.

That spin move by Kat on the drive to the basket was a thing of beauty. I'm loving what I'm seeing from Ant, Kat and Rudy tonight.

Claxton is having a hell of a night for them.

Ant needs to pass more. Keep going to Towns in the post. It's been working all night
