Levert with 11 pts on 5-12 FG, 0-3 from 3pt, 1-3 FT, 1 assist with 4 turnovers. This is why you shouldn't be gassing up Levert early for no reason.

Watch the refs give us a bunch of makeup calls in the 2nd half to make the FT disparity look even. They got gifted a bunch of points and we got nothing.

Their bench just killed ours. Not sure why Dante Hall or Justin Anderson or Martin don't at least get a shot. They were pitbulls last night. Clearly needed after giving up 70 points in a half with Tatum barely playing.

Besides Tatum being in foul trouble it seems like everything is going the C’s way. But if we could go on our own decent run and get it to under 10 it’s anybody’s game.

LeVert looks like he trying to do to much. Throwing up off balance shots.

I watched the OKC game before ours and they kind of reminded me of our team from last season. Great chemistry.

We're seeing what a good defense looks like. The Nets perimeter defense is embarrassing.

I don't want Vaughn as HC simply based on his insistence to play Lance Thomas meaningful minutes here.

We already established that LeVert is the worst scorer in the league + the worst contract in the league in the last game thread.

No need to be dramatic, I'm responding to the guy who decided to bring it up randomly.

Not sure why Boston still has their starters in. 2nd game of a back to back. 30 point game. 5 guys on the floor playing for their NBA lives. Recipe for disaster.

Nets took a hell of a beating tonight didn’t we? Sheesh. Nonetheless I think Levert is one of those players that’s just offensively hot and cold. Hell have his games where he looks amazing/promising then he’ll have his games where he looks.....

LOL you wait till he has a bad game and act like hes terrible.

Everyone has bad games. Did you see Tatum vs the Bucks?

Were also playing one of the best defenses in the league and have a G League roster with no other offensive weapons besides Harris.

I'm not acting like he's terrible, and I'm responding to someone. The whole point is not to prematurely boast. I agree that it was difficult for Levert to have a good game today, Celtics have arguably the best guard defense in the league, between Smart, Brown, and Tatum capable of guarding Levert.

Vaughn needs to switch it up:

Start: Allen/Rodi/Harris/LeVert/Johnson

Bench: Hall/Anderson/Temple/TLC/Chiozza, with either LeVert or Johnson on the floor at all times. We need to have at least one person that can create for himself on the floor and Johnson is about as close as we can get to someone that can get their own shot attempts off.

Lance Thomas doesn't need to play.

I'm not high on Lance either, but he should be above Anderson in the depth chart. IMO, he does a lot of intangibles to support his C. Now that Donta is playing, Rodi should be the starting PF.

Anderson can knock down the deep long ball though, which is why i put him in over Lance. Lance just really doesn't do anything.

I liked the Lance signing but I can see why he's out of the league. TERRIBLE shot selection. Can't hang on the perimeter on D either. Would much rather see Rodi and Anderson play the 4 over him. Allen and Hall can split the center minutes.

Rodi at the 5 is a cool development thing but he's only played more than 16 minutes once in the bubble. That's pretty crazy. Really shows how little the organization believes in him now.
