What a fantastic game by Vuc. Won't be mad if he keeps that lights out shooting up.

On the Nets side, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was super impressive. He's a monster on D

Vuc 3pt shooting can be a game changer. We just did not play hard or smart.

Hard to argue with that.



..

I don't know what the big surprise is. We don't have a team anchored by a defensive big man. Goes to show that no matter how much offense we get from the C position, we still can't beat horrible teams.


Vuc +15... biz -20. We were down 3 on our last possession. Do the math.

Biz is not a defensive anchor either. Sooo....

Game changer if he can have the same success doing that at PF next to a defensive C.

The point was our bench lost us the game. Had nothing to do with Vuc like you implied.

My opinion was a future focused thought... I don't think we're going to be a great team if we are a team that relies on heavy scoring from our center.

I didn't watch this game, so if you say the bench sucked, then that's probably a good reason why we lost too. But other people were saying the defense sucked in this contest and that provoked me to say what I said.

We scored 101 points and gave up 84 points while Vuc was on the floor (not counting BK's 2 meaningless FT with no time left)... you don't need defense when you're dominating offensively like that. We gave up 40 points in 13 minutes when Biz was on the floor.... If you want to pin the loss on defense then pin it on our $17 million defensive specialist who failed to defend bench players.

Vuc is making it to that all star game this year. He's been our best player on both sides of the court. I don't want to hear it. He's playing outstanding so far. Biz is hot garbage

That graph is incredible. Also I like seeing the defensive impact of Isaac. Already #2 on the team. Interesting that Mario is having a positive impact in the two games he played. 4/5 3s so far this year. That's what we need from him.
