Here's hoping dat leadership can propel them to a win versus a Blazers team that'll be missing Batum and Aldridge.

A loss tonight is inexcusable, but with how awful defensively we are I'm not sure what to expect.

No Batum or Aldridge?

We better win.

im predicting a loss so my expectations wont be disappointed if we win, much better chance with batum and aldridge out

I expect DWIll to play with a purpose tonight. He knows how the fans feel about Lillard. That's an indirect slight against him since they play the same position. DWill is finally healthy and has more strength then Lillard. I expect him to play very physical tonight.

We still cant rebound

Why is Plumlee our first big off the bench?

Paradise · Post #10 » by **Paradise** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:19 am

KG comes out, Plumlee in and completely disrupts everything

therealbig3 · Post #11 » by **therealbig3** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:20 am

Our bigs are just not good. Plumlee just blows.

And Lopez sees the game so slow. He moved in slow motion to get that pass to Johnson, and it was easily tipped by the Blazers defense.

Kevin Garnett is the only big on this team that I trust. Granted, I just started watching, and KG is already resting, so IDK how he played...but in general, he doesn't put his guards in tough spots in terms of catching the ball, and he makes that pass that Lopez just turned it over on.

Plumlee for some reason thinks he is a legit scoring option now. Just set picks and crash the offensive boards, man.

Lol Brook truly doesn't know how to rebound

matnautico · Post #15 » by **matnautico** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:25 am

You can see Brook is trying to feed Joe lol

matnautico · Post #16 » by **matnautico** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:26 am

Plumlee man, so bad

therealbig3 · Post #17 » by **therealbig3** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:27 am

WTF does Plumlee do??? Seriously? The ONE thing he's supposed to be good at is finishing around the rim. He's been awful at that too.

And worst of all, he's forcing shots. He was effective last year because he knew his limits. Now he's trying to score down low, and he sucks at it.

matnautico · Post #18 » by **matnautico** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:27 am

AA fouling a 3 point shooter, shocking.

jeff1624 · Post #19 » by **jeff1624** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:28 am

Anderson commits the stupidest fouls. Why do the Nets ALWAYS sign bench wing men that fouls jump shooters?

MGrand15 · Post #20 » by **MGrand15** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:29 am

This is what I'm talking about with our bench.

Jack TOs.
Alan Anderson losing shooters then fouling them because he's forced to close out so hard.
Plumlee forcing up shots.
Not going to Joe Johnson even though he's got it going.

This stuff is a THEME with the 2nd unit.
