At least Bullock seems to be a real shooter.

See Powell and DFS starters this year too hurts. Ouch.

KP and Powell are awful together 3 rebounds , cant play together need a legit hard nose 4 that can rebound

If things keeps going like that Luka is going to be below .500 TS% after 3 games. His efficiency is atrocious to start the year.

You can blame a dozen others before you pin this garbage performance on Luka.

Kidd, Porzingis, and Powell are completely worthless and Stephen Silas knows that as well as anyone

Did I pin the performance on Luka? Don't be so defensive.

I've had no hope for KP in a while. I'm done with him until he shows something. Heck, I disliked the trade as it happened.

EDIT : He did go 3/4 since I posted this.

Yeah his 3s suck at the moment. FTs are better though. Probably needs more games to get into a rhythm.

Btw they probably need to post Luka more and go to KP less unless he's cutting or in the pnr.

I'll wait for April before I see if the FTs are really better. It has been going down every year in the 2nd half since he's in the league. Not getting caught again.

It does look good right now.

The 3s are going to come around, but I was hoping for .370 this year.

GET DWIGHT POWELL THE F*** OUT OF HERE!!

bartlettbear · Post #27 » by **bartlettbear** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:11 am

POwell is so bad , he does nothing to help this team

leolozon · Post #28 » by **leolozon** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:15 am

Lot of near makes near the rim on Luka's passes. KP, Powell and now Brown.

bartlettbear · Post #29 » by **bartlettbear** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:17 am

Frank and Moses

Kidd is playing a different player every 30 seconds almost lol.. He sure is testing out lineups tonight.

And so it begins.

Finally, a 3 and wing who can actually shoot lol.

leolozon · Post #33 » by **leolozon** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:52 am

I don't understand what goes on in Luka's mind when he dribbles for 20 seconds, never puts himself in a good position and just throws a bad shot... It should never happen. Move the ball. He's due for a good shooting night.

Some nice moment in the second half. Bullock finally produced, but I'm not sure what's up with Brown. Still a small sample size I guess.

I hope Kidd doesn't keep that starting line-up for too long. KP, Powell and DFS have been bad.

Archx · Post #34 » by **Archx** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:54 am

This was such a weird game with all the rotations and missed open shots and cherry on top, injured KP. At least it's a win

dirkforpres · Post #35 » by **dirkforpres** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:55 am

Credit where it’s due - Jason Kidd makes great halftime adjustments

My God though, please don’t start Dwight Powell. He is by far our worst big man

Pinkyring · Post #36 » by **Pinkyring** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 3:09 am

Bullock needs more minutes, Powell starting just ruins the offense for luka and KP and i don't understand why the coach can't see that. Again 32mpg for Dorian is ridiculous

Maverick41 · Post #37 » by **Maverick41** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 3:14 am

Positives
- Bullock was great both in 3s and defense It's clear he should be playing at least 20 mpg.
- Brunson played well all around. Probably would have had bigger numbers if he got some calls
- Defense was good but also probably looked better because Houston's half court offense is really bad
- Boban was really good. Going to need him if KP is going to be out.
- Got to see some nice highlight plays from Frank and Moses

Negatives
- Powell is playing too much. Maxi is a much better player then him and should play more
- Sterling's struggles continued
- KP sat out the 2nd half. Just 3 games in and he's already injured is concerning.
- Luka's numbers are pretty good but his shot hasn't looked good to start the season.

KP is garbage. I would trade KP for a bucket of basketballs to get his salary off the team.
Bullock needs more minutes.
On pace for 55 wins.

Bullock could be the first addition in 2years and an half who can play.

Powell is completely trash, Wood has the same contract. But we prefered no offers him a contract. Good.

DFS is an energy guy, he plays 30+ minutes only because our bench is garbage.
Brown seems a RS guy and pretty useless in PO, i don't know what he does good.

A W is a W, take it and look forward.

Bullock needs more minutes and maybe needs to start.

Also Luka should post more.
