What the hell was his problem? He didn’t seem to think the game was over with how his team was full court pressing us. And does he not own a razor?

Imagine if we played the Nets in the playoffs? That would be an intense series.

A few notable points from this game:

* Kemba wasn’t really forcing it. They took away his threes and he adjusted. Well done.
* No Monk or MKG. Their putrid offense has been painful to watch and contributed to our last few losses.
* Frank playing came out of nowhere. He still had some frank plays but he was a big factor in our win
* Tony is at his best when he’s able to come off screens for that mid range shot. He has no range beyond that.
* Miles got less time later in the game even though I thought he played very well when he was in
* Nic was money in the second half. Some huge shots there in the 4th
* The lineup at the end of the third should never be played again

I'm pleasantly surprised that Kaminsky had some good plays considering the drama that surrounded (still surrounds) him.

Good for Frank for being solid tonight around this buyout stuff.

What was with the full court press with the game decided? That was strange.

When did Cody start doing that flip shot? I mean given his lack of physicality in the paint it makes sense, feels like he definitely has gotten blocked less since he started doing it.

Apparently, things got heated between JB and Kenny.

I was watching the Nets feed and had it on mute. Good for JB for showing some swag.

It is amazing but this team plays so much better when Batum shows up like he did in the 2nd half. He was the difference in this game and I just can not understand why he only shows up periodically. smh

I agree with you as it is puzzling. I guess he is a player that has been paid and does not really care whether the team wins or loses. Just rarely shows up with any effort.

He and fellow Frenchie Boris Diaw played almost identically. Lots of skills but rarely asserted themselves, always trying to be the facilitator instead of the asserter. It was maddening, and now deva vu with Batum. I nicknamed Diaw “Doris Meow“ for his pansy play. Batum’s name from me is just something non-printable.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.
