Problem is the same as last game. Giannis already has hit 3 3s. IDK how hes doing it again when he hasn't been doing this all season.

But I'm worried. If Giannis can actually hit shots the Bucks become dangerous. Still I'm not convinced it will last.

Harris and Shamet chose an excellent time to both be trash!

I missed the first half. Are we playing Giannis wide open again?

I'm sorry, but DJ deserves to buried deep in the doghouse with that sort of effort. It's going to be a pain to wait for Clax to build himself back up to 20-25 minutes.

We’re giving them uncontested looks and they are challenging our every move. This is not acceptable

And he just hit another 3! Time to adjust and guard him.

Some crap effort from the Nets right now, Jordan doesnt jump for a rebound, KD watches a lose ball and makes no effort to grab it and then walks back on defense allowing Giannis half an hour to reset and put a shot

The nets have been sloppy and missing baskets but they have been defended. It’s not them missing side open shots here.

What is the sense in playing Jordan over Griffin?

Nash has been terrible.

Kyrie and Durant are iso scorers. I’m convinced the only way we are going to succeed is with Harden and stagger Kyrie. God I miss Harden.

It's amazing that we're managing not to get blown out despite our disgusting lack of hustle.

I'm not excusing Durant either, dude leaked out and gave up an easy offensive rebound to Giannis, and then didn't even try to get back and contest and gave up a wide open 3.

Were holding them to 42% shooting and somehow still down. The rebounding is KILLING us. No effort.

That's a bit of an overreaction. Giannis is playing out of his mind right now, making all sorts of jumpers. They're getting big contributions from their other guys as well (Middleton, Jrue). Even a scrub like Brynn Forbes has outplayed our shooting specialists. Things need to improve a lot but they're overachieving atm.


The effort has been awful and our offensive execution is not playoff ready. Playoffs starts in 6 games, when will the Nets play with urgency?

Things better be different in the playoffs when it comes to this team's effort level. It is quite frankly pathetic the lack of effort we frequently display.

Feels like Kyrie has just completely given up on being a point guard in the NBA despite being perfectly capable of playing that role.

no team leave him completely wide open like nets. Its like practice shots. He shots 31% when a defender put a hand on him, . Only simons you can defend like that. I think nash want to see if that could work, cause if he wasnt hitting them takes a lot from the paint.

I don't disagree with you on the effort and execution, but the team is missing a large component of its core, and majority of the guys haven't played well over these two games vs Bucks.
