I'm not saying there's no use for the zone or that it's a bad move. But we essentially went zone 80% of the game. I think we played man a handful of times after the first quarter. That would be perfectly fine if it took Toronto out of rhythm or if they struggled even a tiny bit.
They scored 106 in the last 3 quarters and missed a ton of open 3s. If you can live with that, cool. They would have hit us with 140+ if they made their 3s at a decent rate. That's just garbage defense.
The fans and Kenny seem THRILLED with the game so I guess it's just me.
I'm not mad at the defense they were right there at the end. If anything people should be mad about the missed layups in the first half if DLO makes one or 2 of those it's a different game. It's a freaking layup.
So missed lay ups in the 1st half is what cost the Nets the game. We're just going to disregard Russell exploding for 24 points in the 2nd half including 5 driving lay ups and nail this down to 4 missed FGs in the 1st half.
Not overall poor defense by the team, not Marc Gasol walking Ed Davis like a dog in the 4th quarter, not Leonard killing us in the 4th, but D'Angelo Russell missing lay ups in the 1st half.
It amazes me that people on this board will call Prok out to the mat over his comments about LeVert, but utter and complete bull **** like the quote above is allowed to stand without being even remotely challenged.
Because Kamaze is obviously trolling. Not sure why yall respond to the dude when he's not even pretending to have an honest conversation.
Prok sneakily mixes in good basketball analysis with trolling and baits me into responding
