* Crowd went crazy when Thanasis came in for 20 seconds at end of 3rd. Would like to see more of him in some spots.
* Tucker is too short to guard KD. Giannis should spend some time guarding him especially at the end. Thanasis should guard him a
little just to get under his skin with some trash talking. Could probably draw a tech from KD.
* Portis should play a little bit more.
* Bud needs to go. So much iso ball and obviously unwilling to make Giannis play to his strengths.
* Zadarius Smith was having a great time in the front row
* KD didn't get touched at all several times and got the call, pretty frustrating. Lots of F*** KD chants.
* Wow did Giannis dominate the ball tonight
The Nets shot 16 FTs coming into tonight. We took another 8 tonight. thats 24 for the series.
Durant averaged 7 FTs a game by himself this season. He had 3 trips to the FT line tonight (6 attempts). and 1 of those trips was an offball foul when the nets were in the Bonus. Maybe a couple of non-shooting fouls were ticky tack. but with how physical PJ has been with durant, and how much he operates in the mid post, its hard to give alot of sympathy to cries that durant is getting too many whistles.
