For real, does Nash get credit for the 2nd half turnaround? :lol:


I'm curious as well. The Nets came out aggressively on both ends of the floor and he had the right line up in down the stretch. Bruce Brown is a difference maker in this line up.

Not even, someone was criticizing him for some of the lineups he was running even in the 2nd half when we came back.

But if he’s gonna get all the blame for us losing in the 1st half, he should get all the credit for us coming back in the 2nd half. He clearly hit the right buttons to engineer that comeback, in that case.

Honestly, not that much. KD won us this one on pure MVP level play.

It was a lack of effort and he should be given credit for finally benching DJ but these guys haven’t played hard regardless of coaching. It’s pure entitlement of the caliber of talent surrounding them and that is inexcusable. I don’t see anyone knocking the offensive system or the defense principles. Getting them prepared is what’s expected at this level.

We held Denver to 46 points in the 2nd half, that’s really the biggest takeaway for me...we CAN defend and hold down elite offensive teams, we just need to bring the effort consistently. No reason we can do that to them, but give up 115 and 129 points to teams like Memphis and OKC.

Gonna watch on replay, but honestly I think the lineup was fine. You kind of have to live with the fact that you can't have a starting lineup with multiple ball handlers given our depth issues. Got to keep LeVert on the bench because without him it's a disaster.

KD can be the primary ball handler although it's not the most ideal set up. Credit to him for trying to get everyone on the floor with him involved. It's just that he gets a bit turnover prone. It was something that I remember from his days with Golden State.

Kevin Durant is having an insane season statistically. He would be an MVP candidate if our record was better.

Nash (and the players) were much better in the 2nd half. Much better rotation decisions as well.

Team still needs to fix the dumb turnovers and offensive rebounds but the energy level overall was night and day.

Need that same mentality tomorrow vs the Knicks. Also.... give Bruce Brown all the mins!!

Harden talk didn't kick in yet. Marks bullying his way imo.
