He had many open 3s and he was guarded by guys 5-6" shorter than him and 20-30 lbs lighter. We gave him a mismatch nearly every time. We were essentially begging for him to get hot. if you let him get a rhythm, he can do this. He's done it plenty of times before and at least a few times to us.

We have no leaders on this team.
Not KD. Not Nash. Not Kyrie. Not Marks.
Nobody holds others accountable.
That is why we had this mess of a season. Nobody held Kyrie accountable. Nobody mended the situation with Harden.
There was no real coaching or identity for this team.
KD deserves more blame than hes getting. You cant just be an amazing basketball player. You need to be a leader as well.

KD has never been a leader.. He just does not have that in him.

You replace LeBron with KD and were not in this mess.
I really don't believe it.

Another gift from Harden quitting on us. But you guys think he was justified in his actions.

At least last season was pretty fun until the injuries.

Nobody cares about a 2nd round exit.
Team did nothing.

I am just saying….. I am beginning to believe Nets don’t really care about the regular season at all and it’s making more sense considering who is in top six. Do you want Milwaukee or Miami first round? Miami ain’t stopping a duo or Kyrie/KD with a Simmons being a lock down defender.I am just saying…..

This has been the problem with the core of the franchise ever since KD & Kyrie signed with the Nets. The hubris of the GM, head coach, and two star players believe that the hardest part of winning was title was accomplished when they signed their contracts on July 10th, 2019; they merely need to exist and championships and acclaim will follow.
Sean Marks
Marks believed that at the highest level having a coach with high EQ was more important than one with high IQ. In other words, our stars are so good that we just need someone to make sure we maintain good vibes around the locker room. Everything else will take care of itself.
We've been getting torched by elite wings for years and Marks bewilderingly has tripled-down on ballhandlers while ignoring 3&D wings. I still cannot believe that this man let KD be the focal point of our defense coming off of a torn achilles and did not seek to sign another competent wing defender who could take the defensive load off of him.
Steve Nash
I don't need to say much about him. You all already know the problems with him. We play so far below our potential it's maddening, but the higher-ups (and I assume at least, KD) seemingly don't have a problem with him. He should've never been hired.
Kyrie Irving
Imagine the day your organization hires a coach, one of your stars says "I feel like we don't need a coach. We can coach ourselves."
I don't care that he apologized later and talked about how smart Nash was. The fact that he, already veteran in the league, believed that a coach couldn't help or wouldn't be necessary to achieve their goals was beyond laughable. His messiah complex was evident long before the pandemic arose.
KD
While I have the least issues with KD, he is still guilty by association because has orchestrated or enabled everything around him on the Nets.
And while I do agree with his belief that elite ISO players are needed in the playoffs against better defensive teams that have game planned to mar the efficiency and effectiveness of the opposition's offensive system, I believe that isolation play should always be ancillary to a system. There should be a synergy between system and ISOs, with the system being the foundation of the offense and ISOs mainly relied upon when the system doesn't work.
Too often we let ISOs become our system; our best players get overworked because the opposition focuses on mainly defending the stars as opposed to being worried about all 5 players being a threat to score. Our best players become tired, while the rest of the team gets frozen out and taken out of rhythm. And then on the defensive end, we not only lack both the IQ and the personnel to stop the opposition, but they also have more energy to get up the floor and run their offense quickly because they didn't have to expend a lot defending us.
I have no regrets about missing out on a lot of games this season, because these guys don't deserve my time. Since I became a Nets fan, I've never been so dispassionate about a Nets team. I had so much more fun watching the Nets when we were a scrappy group under Kenny because they were scrappy fighters who didn't think anything was owed to them. Even though we knew they weren't good enough to win, I could at least respect their approach and tenacity. We actually had a "culture". These past two seasons have been so underwhelming, because it feels like whatever "culture" or soul this team had feels so hollow and non-existent.
