Bagley with 2 made 3s in the first half. Not sure how I feel about that.

Holmes out with a toe injury. Bummer
Close game but a lot of scoring.

The lineup with Poole,Butler,Baldwin Holmes and Deni that played in the 2nd quarter was very very bad... Deni barely touched the ball. Butler did some sh×tty things there

I wish CWS did more of our games. I’m tired of Gooden’s hungry jokes.

The team that can turn up the defense wins. But it doesn’t look likely that anyone wants to defend lol.

Re: GT 73: Nets @ Wiz
Poole with 31 pts so far, where was this guy at the start of the season ?

Is this going into another overtime?

Good tank loss. We don't want to catch San Antonio.

Re: GT 73: Nets @ Wiz
Poole was quoted awhile back saying that playing off ball next to Tyus threw him off his game. Maybe the only way to get the most out of him is to play him at point with a bigger guy playing the 2

Re: GT 73: Nets @ Wiz
Glad we lost this game. What are we doing with Tyus Jones if Poole is actually good at PG? Can't give Jones 15 mil a year to ride the bench. Call the Zingus trade plus the lack of a Jones trade at the deadline just sunk costs and move on, I suppose.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

Weren't you telling me a week ago that we had no worries in that direction?

Maybe Butler's worst game and Poole's best?

I didn’t think a 4-game win streak was even remotely possible.

Re: GT 73: Nets @ Wiz
Fine with the lose, can't get too far away from the tank.
A couple of things:
-The team still plays hot potato around Deni for long stretches of games. Kispert won't even sometimes look in Deni's direction, it's kind of odd. Baffling that he's subbed out for a potential game tying three. He's a 39% from three this season, why mess with confidence now, in this season, at this point of the game.
-Kuzma and Poole shot well, but they still don't know when to say enough is enough. That one three from Poole from 36 feet with 20 seconds on the clock is this personified. Kuzma just needs to do one more turnaround because a couple went in - it's a pretty shot, but it's difficult. It's not supposed to be a go to move in this days NBA.
-Kispert jacks up way to many shots. He needs to be more selective. His tunnel vision makes him predictable.

I too was a little surprised when Keefe subbed out Deni to insert Butler, who hasn’t made a 3 in forever. Maybe they thought Butler would be better at finding a teammate for an open 3. Didn’t make a lot of sense though.
Yes, that was a terrible shot by Poole. Came at a time where the Zards had some momentum. But overall this was one of Poole’s best games as a Zard. Maybe the best.
I don’t have a problem with the shots that Kispert has been taking, especially since most of them are open 3s. He just needs to make more of them.

I can't get past Miller who I have become negatively obsessed with.

To me, the surprising thing about Kispert is how mediocre he is from charity stripe.
Last night he was generally off (it happens) but for someone with his rep as a shooter, he should
be closer to 85% (or 90%) than 75% at the FT line.

I share your concern. Corey shot 85% from the line last season. This year he’s at 73%. How do you explain that?
