This team already really likes each other, and then it’s made 10x easier to do it when you have key players who go all out in 20 minutes and then let the good depth take over.

Also, everyone on this team is paid, no one needs to have an agenda.

Positives:
KCP
Carter
AB
Moe

Not so positives:
Our core not figuring out the problem on the court. With Paolo getting gang-marked, Franz and Jalen needed to take more on their plates. Seemed like Franz didn't and Suggs couldn't.

Then Mose got them at halftime and told them what they should already have known. After that it was plain sailing. Franz played like Franz can and the rest is history.

He's blocking Jett and I'm not convinced he's better.
I'd package both for a good player.

Some ugly moments early on, but a comfortable win in the end, I will take it. At times we struggled quite a bit with the doubles the Nets threw at Paolo, his efficiency suffered and his teammates often were too slow to move the ball when they got it from him. The second half was better at this though. And Paolo again finished with zero turnovers which is very nice to see with all the defensive pressure on him. Black is slowly making me a believer, he's improved so much over the offseason. Another really good game on both ends by Franz. WCJ with another very solid game too, he's playing his role really well so far this year.

On the negative side, Suggs again showed a tendency for turnovers and that he's really not a PG.

I'm fine moving on from Cole sooner than later, but while he's here he provides at least one more capable ball handler on a team that's generally lacking them.

I’m ok with his last two games. 6 assists 1st game and 3 steals the 2nd game.

As long as he is finding ways to impact the game.

KCP and WCJ led the team in box score plus-minus. I find that fascinating.

AB with a 29.2 AST%. That's a solid floor for a primary playmaker.

Franz with 29.7 USG%, Paolo with a 34.3 AST%. Franz settled in as the first option and Paolo had himself a game as the primary playmaker. Beautiful to see this kind of versatility.

I was at this game last night and I have to say THOSE REFS WERE HORRIBLE!!!! This honestly felt like the LONGEST game I’d ever been to in my life. The Energy was just so low on the court and in the building, the referees would not stop blowing the whistle. I don’t even know if there were two or three possessions in a row the refs did not blow the whistle on something just a horribly slow paced, horribly reft game.

As a non- big man Suggs needs these type of highlight plays to secure Dpoy votes.

Sucks that the refs took this one away, but we all know Suggs will have plenty more.

There was a bunch of pretty girls at our game tonight. I think that Brazilian influx is making their way into the games.


Definitely better than that Bling Bling Clown Show in the 1st row at Miami wednesday. :lol:

I love that Opera lady Miami Heat fan. She always delivers every single game with an outfit.
Wish we had a dedicated sidelines fan like her.

Well we have that big guy that always sits sideline and he even goes to away games, he's pretty dedicated.
