Harden needs to start looking to score and draw fouls.

We need to get Harden going and take better care of the ball. 8 turnovers in one quarter crazy

Nash is trolling with this lineup

MrDollarBills · Post #24 » by **MrDollarBills** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:12 am

9 turnovers, multiple fouls. Just awful.

Man if Harden doesn’t tap into vintage Harden in the playoffs I don’t like Brooklyns chances against the elite teams. KD can’t do everything himself and Nash is a giant negative.

Inexcusable.

It's seriously understated how big of a downgrade Millsap has been to last season's Uncle Jeff. Obviously I didn't expect him to replicate the latter's performances, it's more of a case of Millsap playing like a 47 year old all season.

How does one hamstring injury make a player go from MVP level to washed? Makes no sense!

HardenGoat · Post #29 » by **HardenGoat** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:16 am

Harden needs to step it up and show he is still able to finish off drives to the rim. He beats a player then immediately looks to dump it back.

Also, our crowd this season has been inexcusably bad. Just downright laughable.

Will probably take Nash another 20 games before he realizes Millsap at the 5 does not work against any team with size.

The way the Suns/Warriors have been hyped on the bench in our games shows that they treated us like a threat - a fellow Championship contender that they wanted to prove a point to.

The problem was that we approached both these games like "just another basketball game" and thought we were going to sleepwalk our way to a win, and skate by on our talent alone. Unfortunately, for us, that strategy only seems to work against sides with a losing record, which is why almost all of our games against good opposition have turned ugly..fast.

I hope he doesn’t last another 20 games

Why are they switching??

Shark · Post #35 » by **Shark** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:33 am

Disappointed with the last two defensive possessions. There's absolutely no way we should ever have Aldridge switching onto CP3.

Crowd had literally nothing to cheer for with Harden stinking up the joint. Sounded plenty loud on that run.

Bembry is the best player on the floor tonight. Props to him.

Harden might be broken :nonono:

Anchorman1 · Post #38 » by **Anchorman1** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:36 am

Yeah, even that 15-0 doesn't really inspire confidence. Just feel Phoenix will have enough to keep us at bay, the rest of the way. Just like how CP3 got those timely buckets at the end of the half when we'd cut it to 6.

Nice to see KD fired up though. Him going god-mode and inspiring the rest is our best bet.

Shout-out to Bembry btw! The only Net this half who's done everything he's supposed to do out there and more.

I think we know we have a lot to do to develop into a championship team. The focus of these games is to find what works and go from there. Thus the “just another game” is really a statement of “we know we are a work in progress”.

Fair enough. You just know people who haven't watched the game tonight will come in a few hours later, telling us how Harden wasn't that bad because he had a triple double. He's been..well, he's been Harden. We should get used to this version of Harden against good teams. His performance hasn't surprised me at all.
