Every time we make a run the refs just hand them points.

We drastically outplayed them. 5 on 9 is tough to overcome

It seems like Griffin need a dribble before he can hit a 3 this year. He's not comfortable on the catch & shoot.

Why are we walking it up and running clock down by 12?

Why did we stop going to Kyrie

I hate steve nash

**** Sean Marks for allowing this bull to continue. Fire his ass. I'm done.

These games were all winnable too. We have lost at least 7 or 8 games on coaching alone.

We are about to fall into the play in and might not make the playoffs. I hate being a fan of this team. Its just awful.

We were the best team in the East. And now we are playing like one of the worst teams in the NBA.

Its unforgivable. There is no excuse for us being this bad. We literally can't beat anyone anymore. And no one cares.

WTF are we walking it up?!

We don't have a D'Antoni or Udoka ready to take over. Who is going to take over & make any kind of impact? Vanderpool?

There is no chance we fall to the play in. Even if we dont win a game on this road trip. Hornet are playing poorly and face a ton of good teams coming up. We have played really well despite losing games and our next few games get easier.

it is frustrating though. especially since you know nash wont be fired.

Vaughn?

Literally anyone is a massive massive upgrade. at least we wouldnt mess up the things a 3rd grade gym teacher would get right

Nash postgame:

"we were short handed"
"they got hot, nothing you can do there"
"we are playing alot of different lineups, need consistency"
"we are a team that has to win with defense"

in addition to throwing the team under the bus.

F this guy

I'd tale Vaughn right now. He was 100x better.

Nash is the worst coach in the NBA.

Didnot watch but result was expected. Heard refs were pretty bad.

Go get the SAC tomorrow.

We couldn’t get any momentum for obvious reasons. Harden played well and looks good to go now. Kyrie played well second half. We definitely need another shooter and we have players that need to go like Johnson, Carter, Millsap. We will improve. Once the mandate is gone and Durant is back we will be elite. What is the news on LMA? I’m hoping for Dragic and maybe Thaddeus Young and Ibaka.

Gross loss. Leaves a bad taste. my thoughts...

1) Bembry is an impact player. +7 in a game we lost by 10. Why he played less then 20 minutes is anyones guess. Why he is watching Bruce Brown be the first sub off the bench is beyond me.

2) We outplayed them. But its tough to win playing 5 on 9. Hate to harp on refs/whistles but it was really bad. Way too many touch calls followed by no-calls on Kyrie being knocked to the floor or Harden getting hacked. The no call on the goal tending killed a run of ours. and they called 4 fouls in the first minute in the 4th on 4 touch calls. they were in the bonus with 11 minutes to play. too much to overcome

3) Props to the players. they kept at it. made 4 or 5 runs to get it close and eventually take the lead through all the whistles. It stinks we arent gettings wins cause these last 5 or 6 games the team has played well.

4) missed layups are killing us. KILLING us.

5) The lack of timeouts when our opponent goes on a run is frustrating. We took the lead then they scored 5 straight to go up 4 with that gross goaltending in there. Timeout there would have been ideal but i can see going further. Then we turned it over and they scored again to go up 6. still no timeout. after the TV timeout saved us a bit, they extended the run to 13-2 still no timeout. at 15-2 we finally get the timeout. No awareness of momentum or the flow of the game. It is even more important to call the timeouts with Harden since he can be frustrated with the calls and lose his ju-ju.

6) Kyrie scored 9 points on 4/4 shooting. We cut into their lead making it 1 possesion. We then stopped going to him and are walking it up with harden crossing mid court with 17 seconds on the shot clock. We need to play with pace. Harden can play with pace. Coaches need to stress that. When Kyrie is hot, give him the ball. even if he doesnt shoot make the defense double him or over react. instead we have him hands on knees in the corner watchng the ball be walked up and blake hoisting pick and pop threes.

7) Chris ball is a bitch. period.

8) Blake continues to play well. 17/6 and hit a couple threes. Hopefully he can hit a stride here.

9) Overall im still encouraged. We are right there to tip the scales and get some Ws. Team morale seems relatively good for a long losing streak. These last 2 games, those teams dont scare me. KD back and we whoop both of them. KD/Kessler/Claxton is going to be scary good. Kyrie seems to be hitting midseason form. Just got weather these next couple weeks

Marks needs to make a move. we need an influx of energy and more shooting.

He was in foul trouble all night.

What I'm most sick about is the amount of open shots, especially layups, that we give up. Rotations are broken, guys are stuck ball watching. It's like these guys don't know where they're supposed to be. It's one thing for that to happen when we were playing all of the G-Leaguers & 10 day guys. The vets have been practicing since the pre-season.

5 losses in a row.

this season is a disaster.

He didnt play at all in the first quarter. foul trouble didnt prevent nash from sitting him in favor of brown. He had 32 fouls entering the 4th quarter. they called 2 tick-tack fouls in the first minute of the 4th. he didnt pick up his fifth until the end of the game.

He had no foul issues the first 36 minutes of the game. thats not an excuse.

C'mon now. This team is ass and we all know it. Even your boy Harden won't Crack top 10 right now, some can make a case not even 15.

This team will get bounced in a first round, just watch.

A win tomorrow will heal a lot of wounds. Then we get a beat up Jazz team.

Half-way through a rewatch, really encouraging play. Edwards, Bembry, and Kyrie really dug in defensively and made alot of big plays to gain possessions and get stops. Kessler has been such a boost. Hitting open threes and getting out in transition. Claxton played well but the plays he messed up were such back breakers... missed wide open layups that led to layups on the other end. But he looks close to being healthy. Was really great on switches, challenging without fouling.

James Johnson is the only guy i had beef with tonight. he was being irresponsibly aggressive leaving shooters open in the corner for needless double teams on their bigs.

If we keep this effort, the wins will come.

You honestly think our fully loaded Nets team is going to get bounced in the first round? Who is going to do that?
