I agree with you guys on here, the refs have been screwing us out of games for a couple years now lol and I also agree Din needs to stop with them pull up threes, it gets a little annoying at times. But like you guys stated, he wouldn't have got the call if he went to the rim anyway. Din needs to develop a post game and a hook shot, he has a big size advantage on most nights and length.

I'm definitely not mad at this lost especially how we kicked the Wizards butt last night, but we could of won this game if we made our free throws.

Oladipo has been playing lights out this year, I really need to follow the training that he did this off season because it's working. I thought Indy got robbed when they traded PG13 but Oladipo and Sabonis is killing it, happy for them.That Indiana crowd got loud !!! Wish our Net fans were the same. I'm drunk.

I agree, sometimes he settles a bit too much, but like MDB and others have stated, alot of times he drives hard to the basket and he doesn't get the calls, I've seen this countless times and it's frustrating. He already has a nice little floater, it wouldn't hurt if he can back his defender down and get an easy hook shot over them. But i can't be mad at him, Din has given us more than we can ask for, he's a legit rotation player and he will improve.

I'm watching the Nets magazine, and this dude Carrol got shot when he was in Missouri ? I didn't know that, maybe you guys did. It was close to his achilles too. Gangster !

Edit: And he had liver disease too ?! and he got red flagged so he didn't get drafted .. man this guys is a warrior, I like him even more . Never give up.

Din can't do it, yet. And he'll never be able to do it if he doesn't have the opportunity. I know that not everyone can be like RHJ and make huge improvements in a season, but if he wasn't given the chance to make mistakes and overplay his hand last year, he wouldn't be who we have now. Din has earned a few more opportunities.


bruh he pulled up hero ball style on Boj. Down by 2, think about that. Since when can Bojan guard someone off the dribble? you don't think he gets fouled there? he drives Crabbe is wide open on the corner.

Like I said, it wasn’t a good shot. But he’s never had to win an NBA team a game before 1 month ago. He’s learning. Hopefully one day he either develops to make the shot or find a better one. Mistakes will make him better.

Tracking Players Performance against the Pacers 23 Dec 2017

DMC - 38 (+)
Dinwiddie - 38 (+)
RHJ - 31 (+)
Crabbe - 26 (=)
CLV - 18 (=)
Zeller - 16 (-)
Stauskas -13 (=)
Harris - 11 (=)
Allen - 7 (-)
Acy - 6 (-)

Tough loss - especially having to go into OT on a back-2-back but I think our players are developing fine.
Stability is a myth perpetuated by the agents called homeostasis and status quo....

he did, and paid the price for it. that won't happen again. you forget that Dinwiddie is still young NBA wise and is learning just like LeVert, RHJ, and Allen are.

what was learned tonight by these young guys will prove to be useful later down the road. It sucks that they lost, but I think we're seeing something from them that we didn't see during the 4 game slide that came before these two games. They pounced on Indiana early like they did Washington and shell shocked them. When Indiana, who is a damn good basketball team (Oladipo is a beast. I think he's making a case that he's a top 15-20 player in the league tbh), came roaring back the Nets didn't buckle. They kept plugging away. and this is in despite of the referees calling a horrendous game. they also need to hit their FTs. they would have won had they made five more FTs.

This team will be fun to watch post all star break when we have the full squad intact.

Have you guys seen Dinwiddie in crunch time this year? Just the fact that he went up with an actual clean look is improvement. All year long, instead of playing basketball during crunch time, he's been trying to draw fouls on 3s and throwing up wild shots. We're lucky he got the call in regulation. Don't mind the 3 anyway. If Dinwiddie drives and gets a layup with 4 seconds left. Indiana can win it with the last shot or win it outright in the 2nd OT.

Not sure why Kenny is so obsessed with that 3-2 zone. We really didn't slow them down at all. We tied it up because they missed some FTs and we hit some 3s. We got lucky.

I can't believe they called that foul on RHJ on that Oladipo shot. That was crazy. You could probably call that on every single jump shot contest if you want. In a tie game in OT.

that's the problem, and we can't get the ball to Allen Crabbe who wants those situations. A needs them as a shooter. Just watch his 4 pt. play on Oladipo wit the hand in his mug.

We don't play 3-2 zone. We play 1 -2 -2 zone. It's to cut down penetration baskets, which we did and failures to make baskets on the other end had us getting scored on in transition points.
