He's the greatest point guard to ever join the pack!

Alright so I gave some bad advice tonight... Sorry if you missed out.

We have still been bad but have been playing solid defense and not getting blown out of the water like we were during most of the streak. Tonight we played solid defense again its just that we were able to get some shots to drop.

Big props to Dieng for being a professional and helping stabilize the big position for us.

Defense is the same. The biggest difference is that dieng and vonleh are taking up kats minutes at c.

Move kat to pf, start vonleh or dieng, bench okogie and teague, then start printing those playoff tickets.

Did he just say 42 day Home drought came to an end?

Gorgui saw the stadium standing up and clapping for Naz. It pushed Dieng to step it up and he did. Competition.

Napier was terrible late in regulation and early in OT. He was keeping the Nets in the game. Finally made the shots late in OT.

Check the play by play. He was missing every shot and turning the ball over.

They would also bring nothing in a trade.

I watched the game. In the 4th and OT he was aggressive driving the net, made some, missed some. Put his players in a position to follow him up at times. He is the very reason they chewed up a 5 or 6 pt deficit late in regulation being aggressive like that. Then Dieng feeding off that aggression and cleaning up at times, Culver being clutch on FTs.

Napier was doing his best Rose impersonation and guys were fighting with him. Contrast that to what Teague was doing earlier driving and never getting near the net resulting in turnover.

They all had major turnovers and many a missed pass. But they were being led by someone showing some heart. Dude had 24 pts, on the defensive end he was getting around all screens/picks. Once Teague was out of his way, and he could lead as the sole PG he took over. Got to praise him for that, picking up the intensity when he had to.
