The Nets are shooting 50/40 and we have an ungodly amount of fouls getting called on both teams, that's all time level defense?


Yes. Tough shots going in doesn't mean great defense wasn't played.

Dragic has made some timely baskets.

I have PTSD from playing with soft pickup-game players who call every single touch as a foul. The absolute most annoying people to play ball with.

Good game
The Nets don't have solutions as of now to the Celtic's dribble penetration, Durant and Kyrie won't be enough if they give up so many open and semi-contested layups

Nets don't exactly have the personnel to work it out, and Nash as coach surely doesn't instill confidence that they will in fact work it out, unless Simmons somehow comes back and actually plays some 20-25 or so mins..

The early defense and turnovers just got him out of rhythm.

Nothing in particular. Just rhythm.

He will adjust after watching film and realizing how little space he has to work with. He has also just missed great looks that will fall later. Not worried about Durant one bit. Celtics should be uo big with Durant struggles and Nets turnovers.

The Capela "it isn't a flagrant because he managed to hurt himself when he horse-collared Mobley" foul call was top tier.

Yeah, Dragic was a low key important pickup. Nash needs to keep letting players other than KD/Kyrie handle and create to save their energy.

Mark Jackson's "give me the ball and get out of my way" commentary shows why he was such a terrible offensive coach. The warriors were always mediocre offensively under his backwards way of thinking.

Nets need to go small and put KD at the 5. Claxton cannot guard Tatum at all

Dragic is still legit. Killing it off the bench.
