GT: Nets vs. Pacers 12/21/2018 7:30pm EST 

Post#1 » by MrDollarBills » Fri Dec 21, 2018 5:58 pm

-I want to see RHJ defending Oladipo down the stretch and in the 4th.

-We'll need a big night from Allen in the paint and on the glass versus Turner. Sabonis is also a load to handle. Give me plenty of Ed Davis tonight.

-Give me some more Russell post ups and plenty of Spencer off the dribble. Tsk I cannot wait til LeVert returns and the two headed snake becomes The Hydraâ„¢.

-Hitting open threes is a must since Indy is a top tier defensive club. they may want to take away our 3 ball, which is fine by me because the Nets have been feasting in the paint during this stretch.

-Carroll, Rodi, RHJ, and Dudley need to give us some good production overall.

This won't be an easy task but there isn't a team in this league we can't bring the fight to when we're rested and ready. Lets beat them and send another message to the league

Pacers are a damn good basketball team so tonight will be a battle.

Just excited to see our guys continue to improve/grow as a team with zero expectations.

Kenny's been heartlessly putting Rodi on all types of guards. I'm expecting him to defend Oladipo to start which isn't really ideal.

This is gonna be a tough one. Indiana is solid and Oladipo loves playing us.

It's a tough matchup for us, I don't see a win for us tonight, so I would be pleasantly surprised if we pulled this off. We would need big nights from Dinwiddie & D Lo to pull this off, while keeping Oladipo relatively quiet (unlikely).

Russell is really moving the ball well here so far.

Interesting decision to put RHJ on Turner, Allen on Thad.

They aren't giving up the three point line. We need to attack the paint. I'd like to see Napier get some action in this game as well.

This is one of those games where we could use LeVert :nonono:

What's the difference between " agressivity " and "aggressiveness " ?

whoo. this one is rough, our defense is getting shredded and their defense makes every shot tough.

we got bailed on a 3 point foul. Dinwiddie needs to hit these and then we need to try to claw away at that lead in the 2nd. Hopefully Indiana cools off from the field.

okay, down 10. Lets see if Kenny comes up with some adjustments.
