I’ve never really seen a team this physical with Paolo on every possession. He needs to figure it out because if the Nets win playing this way, most teams will do this.

No reason to get down on the team, we just need to see growth in the 2nd half.

I really thought we'd coast through this team but nope good effort from the Nets challenging the Magic. I've always like Dennis S, kinda wish we would have game him a contract a few years back.

True, he looks tired sometimes when he shoots the three, especially on that one he missed short

After that contract he should be 98% from the field and 100% from the 3 (GREEN font) :lol:

I think the bench run at the end of the 3rd has to open the game up. The starters are struggling offensively.

Schroeder reminds me of Gary Payton, the way he can press the ball on defense seemingly the entire game.

Paolo is having a bad half and Franz is having a bad half. The **** is going to happen and we’re still up 3 because of how good we play defense. Step back take a breath lol. Swings from championship here we go to now we’re garbage is pretty nuts
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Paolo is killing the efficiency that I praised him for after the first game. 0-5 from the field and 4-8 from the free throw line :nonono:
