If Harden didn't play do the Nets win by 15 this game?

It is hard watching all of the iso, iso, iso... and then see the other team exploit matchups continuously with screens and strategy.

I've gotten better at this. When I was younger I'd get real emotional... The past few years I expect this result and kind of am fascinated by how our teams crash and burn. I love watching them but I've finally been able to let this **** go.

Harden isn't playing through a hammy while it gets better. That's not how it works. That hammy doesn't wake up and say, "lol, I'm fine now, it continues to get aggravated.

Is there a Utah assistant HC candidate? Make him watch Gobert film all day long and copy it. Combine that with being the best open court player in the league and you're still an MVP candidate scoring 25+. But best part is it's replicable in the playoffs. somehow Gobert does this all night long and doesn't get 6 charges a game or fouls out often.

Gobert is playing with Mitchell. Giannis is playing with Khris.

Converting Giannis to a Gobert-like player would be a mistake in my opinion, unless you bring in Milwaukee a superstar to take on the responsibilities in offense.

I am not sure about today. Do people really feel that overall Giannis did not play well (I am not talking about specific plays, I am talking overall about his play tonight)? (Honest question btw)

this is going to be constantIy suggested but giannis is simpIy not a big in his mind and you cant teach guys to be big if the instinct isnt there at his age. he is westbrook. thats who he is. i wished he passed Iike westbrook. we might have something honestIy if he did

This is the off-season where Gianni has to realize he's an actual big, an evolutionary PF and not this wannabe Point F hybrid crap he's trying to be. If he doesn't come to this realization to hit that next level (playing off-ball, posting up, developing a mid-range game/floater), I don't think he ever makes the Finals. Unless he leaves and joins another top 10 player or one miraculously comes here via trade or free-agency. He's in the middle of his prime, but his mental game sorely needs to catch up. As we all know, time flies quicker than we think.
"Wes, Hill, Ibaka, Allen, Nwora, Brook, Pat, Ingles, Khris are all slow-mo, injury prone ... a sandcastle waiting for playoff wave to get wrecked. A castle with no long-range archers... is destined to fall. That is all I have to say."-- FOTIS

I've never seen other NBA players openly clown a star NBA player like they do GIannis, it's embarrassing and it's partly Bud's fault.

Tim Duncan's greatness was being able to make the same boring shot in the paint over and over agains. Giannis is the anti-Duncan. Giannis has shown a great jump hook at times and a nice turnaround in the middle of the lane. Yet he gets the ball in the middle of the lane and still has no **** idea what to do. In the biggest game of his life, he starts the game by bricking 8 footers shooting weak one handed push shots I've never seen him shoot before. What the actual ****? Why is he so incapable of getting out of his own way?

Bud was a good hire at the time because we had nothing. No system in place. Kidd was detrimental and kind of a nut. Prunty was basically a substitute teacher.

We peaked with bud in 2019. We needed an upgrade afterwards. Who knows, we could've got a coach that would've said to horst ''Hey gm of the year, you do realise you have no one on the roster that can run an offense?'' And perhaps we would've made a play for a CP3 or someone like that.

Unfortunately it’s a rigorous application process. He might be approved by, say, the 2022 playoffs.

Everyone on here wants Bud's head and I get that. But as I have said before, there are literally 16 other coaches on this team and your beloved Darvin is one of them. You mean to tell me not one of them can step up and tell Bud & the players to try any one of the myriad of fixes you all purport would solve some issues?? Like Bud has 100% total say and he refuses to listen to any coach's input.

They know. We're just figuring it out.
