Bench is not doing as much .5 as before.

But Nets already beaten Suns & blazers (last night) on the road without Kyrie & KD so you never know.

They still had Harden. He alone is capable of making his team beat any team in the league. Without Harden, their done for.

Oh, I misread that Harden is out as well. My bad Irish cause in that case that's a tough task to beat best team in the league.

If James Jones doesn’t acquire another C then Kaminsky is, unfortunately, gonna be the better option.

Saric is very good, he is just having a couple of bad games.

Yeah, what happened with that? The bench unit looks out of sync..luckily Craig is cleaning up and knocking down shots.

I think the issue with the bench is that they all move the ball so well they end up looking for a PERFECT shot instead of a good one. Our bench overpasses the ball like crazy. It's great that they are all smart, unselfish and arent trying to force anything...but at the same time you gotta attack the defense still.

One of the few times this year the bench did not produce. Magic did have some starters still in though. Wish Monty would do the same.

Ayton might have a third straight dominant game.

Full bench stopped all our momentum, they're making so many jump shots.

Sometimes, but I wrote that after I had watched Dario get trapped and then Payne drive and get stuck under the rim...defenders were just stifling those guys.

Feels like we should have a 7+ point lead instead Magic just tied the game with their 7th three pointer. They're 21st in that department at just 12 3pag so that can't likely continue.

That all bench lineup gave Orlando a whole lot of confidence. Now even their contested 3s are falling.

Our bench needs more creation! No one but Payne really doing anything with the ball rn

Paul needs to take that 10 footer a lot more he passes out for a worse shot way too often he should at least put up an was 16 pts a night on that shot alone

Watching his motions it seems like he is finally beginning to play more instinctually and thinking less....coaching and teammates probably just starting to finally let him play after constantly trying to coach in-game which can make you think too much instead of playing more freely.

DA shot smoother than butter.

Book should play entire 1st quarter including with the bench guys, and Paul should start the second and play the entire second if needed.

I think tonight our offense was clicking that they kept Paul and Book both in longer in the 1st...but they will definitely have to go back to staggering...particularly in the playoffs.

Not liking the vibe of this game, could be down 8 quick.

There it is and Booker's benched with 3 fouls.

Chances of making the finals
