Nets were clearly too small and instead of putting in another big, Nash went even smaller by putting Green in for Blake??? WTF was that.

THen Kyrie freezes out Shamet after he was sizzling hot by taking horrific shots.

Just a really bad loss. Need KD and Harden healthy ASAP

I would have sent a hard double at him when the clock was at like 2 seconds.

These guys had no business beating us. Horrible end of game management as usual.


Nash is a liability. Still makes too many bad decisions.(even in wins)

I think you guys are being too hard on Kyrie. He wasn't taking bad shots.

He had an open 3 and an open mid ranger jumper. Those usually go in. He was just off.

Our terrible defense also didn't help.

Kyrie let us down but using Jeff Green to defend Adebayo is a unconscionable decision.

Lack of adjustments on both ends killed us, Miami kept doubling Kyrie you have to make an adjustment, and why in God's name is Claxton off the floor?

I would rather lose with our best defensive player on the floor as opposed to watching Jeff Green who is terrible defensively.

Usually I don't harp on Nash a lot but he's got to do better.

Glad we lost this. Terrible game all around. We had a nice stretch a bit at the end and almost stole it. Miami deserved it. Just embarrassing defensive effort in the 1st half. Games like this is exactly why our Net RTG is very average right now. Much worse than our record.

Hopefully our stars come back soon. Nothing matters if they aren't healthy.

yea we deserved to lose that game. what kind of offensive gameplan was that at the end of the game? geezus christ. Kyrie just throwing up shots not even trying, we should of just let Shamet handle it. Was Shamet even in the game at the end? this was horrible ! Nash is not a good coach.

We also left points off the board early on when Bruce Brown went to the free throw line for 2 shots when it should of been an AND1 goaltend, Nash should of challenged that. Unacceptable. Dj could of also got some minutes here. Now watch KD be out for 2 more months smfh Kyrie cannot lead a team. He looked like he didn't even care out there. Disgusting effort. Now we have to play Pelicans without KD and Harden and probably without Kyrie as well because he's going to have his period again. We're not getting that #1 seed. Hope we can at least stay ahead of the Bucks for #2

He was well defended on all the shots he took and he hadn't made any of those shots earlier in the game. His decision making in the last few minutes cost us this game.

Not having Claxton in was indefensible. Green cannot guard Bam.

He was off all game, and why ISO there? Why not trust your teammates and move the ball around and see if they can make a play too?

And those weren't that open...those were also against Bam and Iguodala, two of their best defenders. I get it if you want to ISO if you got Duncan Robinson or Tyler Herro switched onto you, but you're not going after a mismatch...that was, let's just ISO because Kyrie is Kyrie, never mind who's guarding him. That's hero-ball mentality that has been proven to not work nearly as well as just playing your regular offense and getting the best shot possible.

It just wasn't good decision-making at all, and also, missing shots over and over again is part of playing bad.

He created space and was open. Except for the last one with Bam.

I've seen him make those shots all the time.

If he made those you guys wouldn't be saying anything.
