The narrative that the Nets assets were undervalued is starting to take shape. You might have folks walking back a lot of statements really quickly

I think we could have played that half WAY better tbh.


oh yeah, they absolutely could have played a lot better, but I chalk that up to getting back in shape, etc... :D
OKC Thunder fan, too.

That's exactly what we need to offer. Houston made their choice. If this team gels like we think we will have all the leverage

Spencer's defense is being overlooked. His length is disruptive

That's right Din do your thing and go to work, all over things will come around. Same with Joe, stop this hesitation do your thing boy.

Dinwiddie really needs to stop deferring. Its good that he's looking to pass, but he's had a number of awful passes.

Joe's been killing it on the defensive end tonight.

Dinwiddie will play better on offense when he starts playing more like a slasher.

His traditional game doesn’t mesh well with other ball-dominant guards. I’ve said it before but I feel Caris is a more natural fit next to KD and Kyrie but it’s better for the team for Caris to run the 2nd unit.

When Dinwiddie has the ball, I want to see him shoot the 3 or attack the basket quickly; and when he doesn’t have the ball, be a screener who pops or dives to the paint after his picks.

His two drives at the start of the half are exactly what you want. Quick attacks off the inbound.

Joe is such an underrated defender. He's definitely not a negative, which is such a luxury when he's your sniper.

Dinwiddie is probably jealous that Kyrie and KD can complete lobs to DJ and he can’t.

He is honestly playing like Draymond. Great defense and being a tertiary ball handler with great rebounding.

Essentially playing with 2 legit shot blockers(KD & DJ/Allen). Sneaky advantage over many teams.

I'm not sure we should draw any conclusions yet because we haven't seen what other teams going to throw at us. Din allows KD and Kyrie go to work with no cheating and double teams and quick rotations. Three ball handling guys on the floor takes our starting unit to unguardable level.
