PG: Ripped Apart In Rip City

NetsWorld · Post #181 » by **NetsWorld** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 2:37 pm

It's very strange how we are as a team. One night we come out looking like a defensive powerhouse and other nights look like a mediocre team who cant hang with any team in the league. Cannot believe we lost by 44 points. You would not expect this from a veteran team.

I've seen this a lot on this board calling it a veteran team.. The only veteran who gets playing time is Pierce.. I've been telling you guys since day 1 until KG get minutes he can only contribute so much in limited time.. It's been like this all season and I don't expect it to change any time soon.. so neither should you guys to be honest :-?

The best defender and big man on this team is constantly getting no help in the paint/on the glass as he covers everyones mistakes on defense.. and he only plays less than 20 MPG most nights.. Until that changes this team is going to continue getting man handled..

Rip Kidd now for it, but lets hope this is not occurring during the course of the playoffs as he possibly indicated. KG might have to be used for 28-30 minutes during that span of time, at which point I do not expect us to lose they way we lost last night. KG even at 37 is still an elite defender and changes our complexion completely on that side of the floor.

I honestly fully expect KG to get less than 30 MPG in the PO. IDK what Kidd is saving him for.. this could be his last year FFS..

If Brook were on the team, it would be fined with me. Brook is not with the team and KG has to play more in the playoffs for us to have a chance. I don't underestimate his ability to perform in the playoffs nor do I underestimate Paul Pierce. Not after what they did in 2010 and 2012. These guys are playoff driven and will do whatever it takes to win another ring.

livignston was out early with 2 quick fouls, AK came in and played most of the first quarter and we went with pierce at the 3 and not the 4 most of the game. going small isnt the reason today although i agree it is overall

And stop playing Blatche he's allergic to the two things this team needs defense and rebounding. This dude leaks out instead of crashing the boards so we can establish good position at the 3 point line. Then will receive the ball, over dribble, try to shake his defender and take an ill advised fade away.

blatche is 4th in the NBA in rebounding off the bench.. or at least through the GSW game when they flashed the stat.

I really wish we had a coach that would flip out on these players for their pathetic play and not their assistant coaches.

yea, thats why you dont have a coach who is golfing buddies with the players.

we look great on defense against the worst team in the west like the lakers and all the tank commanders in the east. we arent a good team, and im shocked that after watching all last season and all 60 so games this season people here cant see what is right in front of them....

this is a team that consistently plays with no passion, has big defensive issues gaurding screens, and is soft as tissue paper. and our best players are vastly overrated and closer to average players then all-stars

if you are waiting for this team to magically play well, dont hold your breath

KG playing 30 minutes wont change much. maybe we win 2 or 3 more close games extending him late, but overall it isnt changing much. we get blown out plenty of times with him on the floor and playing awful.

he is shooting 39% on open jumpshots and he has been absolutely pathetic around the rim. i dont care if you play 20 minutes or 48 minutes there is no excuse for that.

the difference between being a bad sub .500 team and a 50-55 win contender is not 6-8 more minutes for KG

KG was a -10 in 13 minutes of play. him playing more wasnt going to prevent a blowout last night

dwill was -15 in the first half. we werent exactly hanging with them with him on the court. again, this loss can even remotely be blamed on dwill, but to make it out like he played great our outplayed lillard doesnt make alot of sense.

First quarter. It spiraled out of control when he left

Spiraled? we were down 4 when he came out. we were down 9 to end the quarter. we lost by 44. that 5 point stretch was hardly the issue. and if dwill didnt come out we still get blown out. its not like we were winning, dwill came out and the blazers went on a 25-0 run.

-15 and barely played in the second half. sorry he didnt outplay anyone. 12 points on 4-10 shooting GTFO. the stardard is at an alltime low when 12/4 on 40% shooting is somehow good

D-Will didn't start the 2nd quarter. What were they down by when we came back in?

14. we finished the half down 24. dwill was -14 at that point.

Any Nets fan that thought they would go into Portland and win is a blind homer. This team ain't ready. They are too inconsistent and putrid defensively. Very hard to watch.

Put marcus Thornton with the starting line up and move shaun back to the bench... that for sure will help with all the double team they throwing at jj

LOL nobody doubles Johnson until he wastes most of the shot clock dribbling the ball.

Either move Johnson to the bench, or get it through his head he needs to quit with the ball stopping and needs to make much quicker decisions with the basketball.

Went to Memphis. Stud role player potential, should have went 1st round no matter what he becomes. Like a mix of a smart Ricky Davis and some Sprewell.

Yes, Pierce was playing close to 40 minutes nightly after Rondo went down. I think it started to take a toll on him once the playoffs came. The main reason why Pierce wasn't that effective against New York was because the Celtics were simply asking too much for him. Celtics had no point guard, so Pierce had to play point and provide scoring at the same time which lead to numerous turnovers and fatigue.

thats kind of irrelevant... the point was "being driven" doesnt make you magically turn into some different player in the playoffs. we wont be any better then we are now.

Was Sarah Kustok at this game?

Crazy, didn't know before today that her dad is in prison during the trial for the murder of his wife, Sarah's mom.

He claims she killed herself and that he found her body, but he's accused of shooting her while she slept, this happened in 2010.

She was at the trial that day with her brother and sister in law, who also happened to be the starting QB for North Western in the very late 90's into the very early 2000's. She's set to take the stand soon, maybe already did, I believe it's still ongoing.
