I think awful, inaccurate takes deserve to be called out. It ain't one game either.NyCeEvO wrote:DarkXaero wrote:Imagine thinking that there isn't much of a difference between Allen and DJ, and that its basically a wash...
I know where you’re going with this...just leave it alone lol.
I’ll take it one game at a time.

That's all he has to give us every night. We don't need him to play outside of himself.
We debated all offseason whether we should trade for a top defensive guard in Jrue Holiday. Marks stealthily lands a poor man's Jrue, but for some reason Nash wouldn't play him. He's that guy that can take the opponent's toughest defensive matchup, and help bring the ball up. He's definitely no Jrue, especially offensively, but he's more then enough when you have Kyrie, KD & Harris on the floor.

Allen has not been perfect but to say that Allen and Jordan have played the same all season was inaccurate. Allen's PER rating is 23 to Jordan's 12. Allen needs to just be more consistent.

JA PER 36 (before tonight)
15.1 PPG 16.9 RPG (5.9 OFF) 2.7 BLK 8.3 FTA 78% FT
He's been seriously outplaying DJ this year.

Should be interesting to see how we move forward. Joe Harris off the bench is weird. He's been a huge positive on the floor.I guess it's to get the 2nd unit going?

I’m not sure about the Philly/Embid matchup but this is the lineup we need going forward untill KD comes back whenever that is

I like Irving and Brown together. The complimented each other very well in the backcourt and Brown honestly fits well because he isn't trying to figure out his role next to Irving he knows he can't shoot so he focuses on his strengths. He also rebounds.
Allen is set at the 5. Durant is in, he gives us 7 boards easily. the question is, do we start Jeff Green or Joe Harris? it may be match up based.

- New starting lineup with Brown, Prince, Allen. Joe off the bench.
- Much more energy on defense, better spacing and movement.
There have been a lot of critics of Nash here. I don’t want to hear anything for at least another 20 or so games.
How many coaches make big changes to their lineup and rotation this quickly? Most coaches (like Kenny) are usually very confident in their decisions and therefore can also be quite stubborn.
Nash replaced Dinwiddie, the starting 2 and elite penetrating guard, with TLC, a 3&D player who was a borderline 3rd stringer at the time. This requires an instant change to the team’s offensive philosophy.
It doesn’t even matter that we’re winning tonight. The fact that he overhauls the starting lineup and goes with a completely different identity is ballsy and warrants respect. He’s already showing that he’s a quick thinker and willing to adapt when the situation calls for it. So many coaches say they are willing to change and adapt, yet almost none of them do it.
Massive kudos to Nash.
