GT: Nets vs Heat

[LOUiS-D]

As Isola pointed out he didn't want to pass to bum azz Chandler for a good reason.

Chandler is shooting 100% from 3pt in the fourth quarter with under 2 minutes remaining. Sure, the sample size is a bit small (1 of 1), but the numbers don't lie.

Lue we talking about game winning shot here. That play was broken because they took Joe out. You think Chandler would've made it? who cares now we lost, we will lose again doing same dumb ish. We lost several other games with LeVert being in Din situation trying to execute play for Harris. That's why I hate when people calling out coaches on game winning shots. Oh he should've draw that play or this play or whatever. Guess what, they don't because bums like Chandler can not be trusted or be closing games to begin with. You live and die with your best player. I can easily turn on Din but he also the reason we were in that position to win.

[NetsJets]

This team is frustrating as hell. We didn’t even get a shot off at the end smh.

[NetsJets]

These losses are frustrating.

[MrDollarBills]

And I'm a Kenny fan but I'm tired of him
he is afraid to put Chandbum out and give minutes to one of our young player like Kurucs or Claxton ?

I didn't think that he is this type of coach

Kenny doesn't trust them yet, and with good reason. Kurucs has been playing scared all season long and Claxton is a rookie.

[NetsJets]

Our late game execution on both ends of the court is horrible. This is pretty much who we are at this point.

[JKiddy]

I was at the game.

It was very frustrating.

Great comeback in the 4th. It just seems like we are too lethargic and emotionally down after Kyrie is out for the season and that led the team to tell Durant to wait until next year.

For awhile Durant was going to come back in late March. Now all of that inner dialogue has been shut down.

This has been a very frustrating year. I smell a trade this offseason and unfortunately we might lose a few players we like. But, it will likely fix some of these problems. I believe in Levert and Dinwiddie. Allen has a future in this league. We might have to depart with 2 of them to make a big deal for someone like Beal (and include picks).

Durant was not coming back this season.

[Prokorov]

gutty job to come back and have a chance at the end to win.

This is 100% not on Kenny. you need elite offensive shot makers in those last second situations and both of ours are out for the year. the idea that kenny needs to "draw up better plays" is kind of absurd given we are automatic on ATOs. its the same plays, its just tougher to execute when defenses are focused and refs arent calling small holds off ball in a win or lose situation.

He owned up to it. Nothing more needs to be said, he screwed up. I'm going to be honest with you, even if he had made that pass to Chandler the defender was close enough to contest that shot. That play was done the minute Joe got taken out of it.

**** happens. We've got to get better at closing out games but we know next season Kyrie and KD will be in there.

I didn't presume to know what went wrong, and was glad to hear him break it down.

I'm frankly bothered by the number of assumptions long-time fans regularly make, like that this play was a sign of Kenny being a terrible coach or Spencer just being a screwup. Why can't you just admit to yourself you're not sure, if you consider yourself more than a casual fan?

Bah.

Durant at 70% is still better than any player on this roster not named Kyrie.

I think everything Spencer said was obvious to anyone actually paying attention. The problem with the play was it banked on Joe Harris open off that ball screen:

1. That action takes WAY too long to get going if it starts after the ball is inbounded

2. A good smart team like Miami is 100% switching everything on Joe Harris and not letting him get open. The play had no chance of working. I don't think it surprised anyone that Joe wasn't open.

It's cool if you want to use Joe as a decoy but that means Dinwiddie needs A LOT more space to operate. Same exact thing happened when LeVert got nothing against Toronto.

Yeah, and there was absolutely no where for Spence to go because Miami had a wall of defenders up top to cut him off.

Got to give Miami props, they defended that play superbly.

You know there will be a lot of trolling going on when KD will be getting his game form back right . I'm just interested to see who and how will jump out with hot takes.

I'd recommend building a balloon, myself. You know... that flying contraption that goes by hot air?

You can see by the diagram how efficiently that might work.
