Can't believe we didn't have a thread for this game.

Anyway amazing win.

We escaped this one. Our 3's kept us in this game. Dinwiddie shouldn't let his emotions get the best of him as he almost cost us this game with his intentional foul to Jokic while at penalty.

Yes that was frustrating. We were lucky Joker choked at the line.

Great win though. Really stepped up in the second half. We played good smallball defense. I don't have a problem with clax not playing much late, the was O'Neale and DFS played jokic. I'm just happy we get some wins against good teams. 4th quarter offense looked better too imo

I watched from start to finish, and I liked what I saw. Spencer needs to give Mikal the ball late in the 4th and get out of the way.

This was a great overall game. Promising stuff for the future.

If he wasn’t straight up fix job robbed on two non-calls and then salt in the wound on the reversal of the makeup call, we’d be celebrating him even moreso though.

Wow what a great incredible win. Everybody contributed except for Noel, he's toast we should clip him and just use Sharpe at this point, Noel can't even finish a lob pass. Dinwiddie becoming more of a passer but still need to relax with those step back 3s. Bridges has established that he's that guy, Claxton too. DFS finally knocking his shots down and Joe Harris too. I really love O'neale, dude is just a winner and makes the right clutch winning plays, I hope we can keep him.

It's soooo fun rooting for this team, it's alot more enjoyable then the Kyrie/KD days when you can just chill and enjoy the game without needing to really win because of championship aspirations. This is that Brooklyn grit we been hoping for.

ctrl v "best win of the season".

hats off to JV - tightening the bench has worked, small ball dfs at c has worked, and this defense is getting stops when they need it.

dont think they can beat any of the top 3 in a series but they are going to be an annoying team to play with the defense and the shooting.

cant remember another net team that was able to go down double digits but also come back up double digits in the same games against good teams. that's a really weird thing and i guess just a function of having so much elite shooting?

Facilitating Dinwiddie > Chucking Dinwiddie

Not sure why we didn't challenge that KCP swipe on Din

JV coached better in this game as opposed to the Wolves one

This team is scrappy and plays hard. The future is extremely bright cant wait to see how rest of this season plays out to the off-season. (Ben is a wildcard who really could have us as one the best teams in the league if his 100% from that back without having to make any major moves)

and..... back in 5th place!!

Well there goes the tank. It's clear JV wants to win as many games as he can, player development or a better pick be damned.

Were such a frustrating team to watch since this team actually kind of works, we can switch we can shoot and we play pretty hard, It's all good other than the fact we are crying out for an actual star if we want to make actual noise in the playoffs. However to get this star player we'd need to gut our team which takes us back to square 1...

Also please banish Dinwiddie iso-ball. He's got tunnel vision worse than Cam when he gets into that mode.

16 to 3 assist to TO for Din tonight, amazing. Still feel like our offense gets a bit stagnant late in the game, but Din's becoming a more willing passer which is great to see.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #17 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Sun Mar 12, 2023 11:20 pm

Dinwiddie getting a lot of hate. I think last game towards the end he held the ball one for way too long.

But hes also the only creator on this team. Bridges get very passive sometimes. When he can't get open for a jumper he can't really drive to the rim or create for others.

Spencer basically ran the offense all game and was excellent.

Frank Isola had an interesting comment on the post game. We have been outscoring our opponents in the third quarter the last four games. He gave the credit to the coaches having them prepared during halftime.

I hate to "Would've, could've, should've".....but throwing that Bucks game didn't't sit well with me. Although it almost worked...lol

Good thing to point out because it feels like we've been a terrible 3rd quarter team forever.

I was really upset by the lack of challenge on that one as well, but I am not sure you can challenge a no call.

Also, the last foul on Bridges should have been continuation. There's got to be a way to force a review on that one. Continuation theoretically could have put us up 4 and iced the game.
