Net's 19/20 Mid Season Report Cards

[Prokorov]

Expectations have definitely tainted how we view this team. I mean we had the off-season of dreams, so it makes sense that most of us were expecting better things. However, even disregarding expectations this season has been a D so far.

We have had Durant for 0 games and Kyrie has missed like 75% of them. So we basically havent added anything this year but prince and jordan(while losing Dlo). yet people act like Kyrie and durant played all 43 games the way the talk about disappointment

I feel you, Prok, extenuating circumstances demand consideration. At what point do we say, no matter what role you expected versus the role you are occupying, does this season become inexcusable? You mentioned that the next 7 games are against sub-.500 teams, and you believe we will make a clean sweep of them (already knowing that Nic and DJ are out).

What if we go 3-4 instead of 7-0, as you've predicted? Would it then be time to say that we have under-achieved, in your opinion?

For it to be a disappointment we would need Kyrie to play 80% of the games here out and win less than 37 games. To me thats a disappointment. anythign else would be nuetral to good given how much time our best players missed

Kenny- D -I really like Kenny as a player development guy, but as the coach of a win now team is a bit tougher to Love him.Struggles to make changes on the defensive end. So much so that it was shocking to see him go to a box and one against the Rockets. Also struggles with the rotation a bit. This teams 4th quarter execution has been atrocious and the opposite of what we had last year. Yes, part of that can be blamed on the fact that we have guys in roles they typically aren't in due to injuries. But the amount of low BBIQ plays down the stretch of game is disturbing. Its one thing for guys to struggle in expanded roles, its another for them to make absolutely perplexing decisions.
.

I think Shark make a good point here..... Is Kenny ready to take us to a championship?.....Kenny not perfect and has to be held to some degree of accountability. These forth quarter collapses have been going on for years now.

Just to be clear, I believe no matter how this season ends up I want to see Kenny back next season.

the 4th quarter collapses have only happened with awful talent. like the years with lin you cant count, we had scrubs. same with injuries

kenny is an elite coach. easily top 4.

I'm right there with you. Assuming we don't suffer another significant (more than 10 games missed) injury by our key contributors, anything less than 37 wins is a failure IMO. We're teetering toward it, and even IF we make the postseason at 36-46, I would rather we didn't. More likely in that scenario, we'll be a top-10 lotto team, as several EC team may leapfrog us if we're in the mid-30's.

i cant see any team behind us winning more then 32 games.

people think we are playing bad need to start watching some pistons, hornets, and wuzards basketball. Truly awful.
