Have no idea how we're only down 12, problem is we're down 12 against this team.

We sure could have used Rob to discourage their layup line.

Lmao at this board.... Litterly playing with basically Tatum and Smart and people acting like we should be demolishing Irving , Harden and Kevin Durant ... if " only Stevens had the right rotations " .... absolutely Toxic

Nets present so many problems. You double they have so many guys who can punish you.. right now all 3 stars are comfortable.

If I'm Thompson I'd stay 5 feet away from Harden and let him shoot the 3. At least tehre's a chance he could miss a 3. The wide open practice lay ups are very hard to miss on the other hand.
Good assessment:

At least they're still fighting. Just keep the lead within 10 by halftime.

Smart was really effective against Kyrie in the last game. Why is he not defending him this time? Stevens is very inconsistent in how and who he plays in every game.

Tatum needs to shoot more threes, I get that he is getting other guys looks, but I’d rather a Tatum pull-up over open Romeo threes lol.

Would also loosen the defense up a bit.

JT needs to start looking to score now. It’s tough that they’re doubling you and leaving Romeo open. Gotta be patient and wait for the switch and go to work.

Offense isn’t that big of an issue however since we can’t get one stop on defense against them.

Smart is not the problem.

Maybe not, but his shot selection isn't helping.

2 fouls and he fouls out you lose by 40. Stealing time.
