GT: Clippers vs Nets - Tuesday, 02/02/21 | 7:30pm EST | TNT

[GTR11]

sorry to poo poo but I didn't like this win. It wasn't showing me anything that tells me we can go at it with 6's.

They big and they play from inside out. We need help with big boy. We have issues.

[GTR11]

Let me see few games after Nic back and Pelle. Maybe we will be able to get McGee, than we talking.

Nash is still work in progress. Guys be easy with him. We going to get some up and downs

[LOUiS-D]

Godly performance by Ky. Before it started to go all fun house mirrors towards the end the hydra was in full force. Good to see some conservatism to close it out. Harden taking the inbounds with the outlet to Green. Taking the foul when up 3. Lucky that the clear path rule is so unclear that it's a freaking coin flip, thought they were about to get 2 shots and possession.

[LOUiS-D]

Jordan looked great with the 2nd unit, so much so that i want to keep him there if we can get a legit C in buyout season. We need to get Javale McGee or Drummond in here because if we add another NBA level center to this roster that would solve a lot of issues.

Nash had Harden, Harris, and Jordan with Brown in the 2nd unit. that is high level in terms of matching up against the opposing bench.

Been really pleasantly surprised how Harden has polished up DJ into his vintage rim running form. After the first game it was looking ominously similar to the Din/DJ combo. Now it's legit.

[8David24]

I’m amazed at how well Irving plays, although I still don’t like him taking so many shots per game, more than Durant.

[StepBackCrack]

This team gives me so much life. And Kyrie Irving is a future Nets legend. What a man.

[MrDollarBills]

Oh really? Was it explained why? Just want to bring him in slowly getting training first?

It seemed like an acquisition that was brought in to meet an urgent need.

He’s being overly cautious for no reason. He wants him to practice when he knows we have no practice days.

Makes no sense.

It's like that old Down South tale, where the farmer won't patch his roof leak because it's pouring, but he won't do it in sunshine either, because, "his cabin never leaks a drop on the days it doesn't rain". When Nash has bigmen, he doesn't use them enough. When he is short on bigs, he won't use the ones we get because he must figure we're already small, we might as well lean into it!

The trick worked today, and I'm glad we beat another tough opponent. Pelle is no saviour, but he can soak up bench minutes without cratering a lead. We'll have to wait a bit longer to patch this leak.

You guys want Pelle out there without a good practice session for him to know where he needs to be on switches and rotations?

I feel like it doesn't matter what Nash does from here on out, yall just have it out for him.

I wouldn't say I kill him no matter what decision he makes. I've been a Nash proponent and apologist. He deserves every bit of criticism he's taking on right now, and he's not doing himself favors by sidestepping questions of his own tactics.

I certainly wouldn't argue with Steve taking a slower approach with Iman, since we have a glut of guards already. But at a position of glaring need like C, with a player you're not asking to execute intricate details, I think that a week of studying the playbook while on COVID protocol, then 3 days of writing with the team is enough to play 6 friggin minutes. Our defense is not soooo sophisticated that Norvelle won't know how to rebound, dunk, block and guard the paint in drop coverage. He's literally been doing that his entire career.

[Khashbaatar]

Ky definitely needed that break.

[Paradise]

LMAO this dude is a straight loser. He’s literally the insecure fat kid who can’t make friends and resorts to social media to be his outlet.

He’s being asked to do little things. Yes. It’s not rocket science. If it was Drummond, he’d be playing yesterday. Same role. Same thing. This isn’t adding in another James Harden. We don’t run anything complicated for him to come in and need to “learn” anything beyond the simple tendencies of the roster and I think anyone can figure that out. Again, 10 spot minutes in a half or quarter isn’t hurting anyone. Coming in to rebound, boxing out, rotate in the paint against bigs and shot block attempts in the paint? That all needs practice? I heard the same thing about Kenny’s mistakes. Guess where it got him?

Over several HC openings last season and he ends up an assistant after his first big break as a HC.

I wonder why.

Nash needs to show me more than what I’ve seen from the Big 3 off talent and IQ. We can’t win games without either one on the floor and that is unacceptable.

Pelle has 24 games of NBA experience and he still might be working himself into game shape after not playing for so long. He's not Drummond.

We have no practice time. That is obviously what happens in these times. Nobody cares to hear these tired excuses for why we can’t add in defensive minded pieces on the floor. Period. Stop making excuses for him.

Even beat writers are tired of the “no practice time available” excuse for everything. A good coach figures out how to make use of someone regardless of their lack of knowledge of the plays or defense. I’ve seen it time and time again. This isn’t my first season here. We don’t defend well. “Oh, we don’t have practice days cause of the schedule.”

That’s an excuse now at this point. Again, we win games off talent. Not executing genius def we or great plays offensively. If Kyrie didn’t score 39, we lose. Simple and plain as that. Not good.

None of it bodes well in the long run. He needs to get it together and knock off the excuses. There’s something called “feel for the game” and he has little of it thus far.

this. You can't even compare the two.

You have it out for him dude, it's obvious. this is a nitpicking to find something to bash him for in the face of Nash coaching a solid game in a huge victory versus the #1 team in the West.

Pelle is not some stud, he's a G league level player. The Nets defense involves a lot of switching and guys need to know where they need to be at on coverages or it will cause even more issues than we have now. Giving Pelle time to get acclimated to what we are doing and getting him in shape to ramp up to game level activity is a prudent move.

Yeah some here need to chill their expectations down. Pelle is a bum and he'll get Nash in trouble along. Some really don't get it

Marks has few things to cover before we can be dominant team. We really need a big boy and Nic can't come fast enough.

[GTR11]

Guys didn pull up a stat stating we middle pack D when it matters? Our top dogs need to bring it every game.

I love Harden the way he runs offense and he showed me some d along with it. Guy is a mini LBJ out there, you put KD and Kyrie on a lose out there and we can bust any teams azz.

We need depth. We got DPE and mMLE to work with. March is when things will get interesting. Will we get any trade going? Who knows. I'll go down figh with Nic and DJ at the 5.

[Prokorov]

I'll always take a win, but I always feel like our games are much harder than they should be.

At the height of our powers (at least on paper), we shouldn't lose to anyone. We ISO our way to 120+ points on a nightly basis, but we never make the opposition work as hard as we work on the offensive end.

And on the defensive end, if we were just even slightly above average, we'd be blowing out teams on a nightly basis. Instead we're grinding out wins despite having a ridiculous concentration of star power.

I'm not satisfied.

Despite the late game collapse, I thought we played excellent this game after a slow start.

I thought the defense clamped down when it had to and took them out of the game.

The late game management will improve with time.

Yeah we need to play 48 minutes, not 47.

Durants 3 should have been the dagger. but instead, it wasnt. then greens and-1 should of been the dagger, but it wasnt.

Just dont turn it over and dont foul. shouldnt be that hard with a 7+ point cushion. might be in our heads a bit

either way, we hit all the big shots late, and all 3 of our big 3 had huge late buckets

[Prokorov]

Durant had 5 TOs and was a -8 on the floor tonight. You would think that he had an awful game based on those two factors alone right?

This mother **** er put up 28pts and 9 rebs on 11-13 FG 5-5FT.

This was a bad game for him. Let that sink in.

We clean up the areas that we need to on this roster and Scary Hours will be 24-7

Alot of that was skewed by the slow start to the game. Durant was a -12 when he first came out. then a +4 the rest of the way (in a game we won by 4).

[Prokorov]

Were still missing major pieces that will be filled through the buyout.

Another defensive wing and backup big off the bench would fill some major holes.

I think Shumpert is that wing. i love what he provided last year.

I want to see pelle a bit. it will be a while before buyouts
