Is Blake hurt? Moves/reacts too slow...

And he be loving staying at the perimeter instead of helping box out or rebounds

Blake has been terrible this series. Huge difference from the way he looked in reg season for us.

Nets playing with no urgency so far on the defensive end.

I think Boston's just not a good match up for him. Constantly got switched onto Tatum in the first 3 games, which is a really tough cover for him (and most anyone else on the team). As for why he's not in the paint helping on the boards and taking charges, that's a real mystery.

Our energy is disappointing on defense. Blake was just terrible.

Was Tatum taken with our pick?

You're welcome Boston

While Claxton switching onto Tatum isn't bad, I'd rather see a hard trap between him and KD to force the ball out of Tatum's hand before he gets to his spot.

Shamet bricks naturally

TJ wins!

Claxton's refusal to pass the ball once he catches it in the paint, it pisses me off.

That was special

Yeah, clearly in trouble, yet decides to try and force the issue. He wasn't doing great in the post in 1 on 1 coverage in Game 3, not sure what makes him think he's going to do any better with two guys on him. At least he drew a foul, I guess.

Shamet doing his best to lose the minutes he's still getting. Like, WTF was that pass?

Claxton has tunnel vision in the paint.

Also Shamet still sucks. Got beat off the dribble but KD erased that mistake. Missed his first look off a wide opem 3 courtesy of a KD pass. And as I finish typing this he turns it over to end the quarter.

We're up, but Shamet being in there over Brown is what pisses me off about Nash. He knows Brown gives us something we often lack (defense, scrapping for boards, making good cuts), yet he glues him to the bench for the entire first quarter. Its like he's trying his best to give Boston a ray of hope.

Brown isn't injured is he?

I have no issue with the way Nets play defense. Switch everything, force semi contested shots, live ball turnovers with active hands. In a long game, opponent is unlikely to outshoot the Nets efficiency from big 3 (and wide open shots from rest).

No way Shamet meant to bank that. :lol:
