There is literally no space on the floor for them to operate. Nash has 3 non shooters out there at all times. We literally have Kessler and Thomas rotting on the bench.

Coaching absolutely is playing a huge role

I think they are intentionally tanking the game.

Watch, something big is gonna happen after this game.

I don't even want to hear about effort when our stars have to play 41 minutes or turnovers when we literally play no shooters.


Do we have shooters? I mean, Edwards is the only guy sitting on the bench who is even a decent shooter, and he shot 41% in a whopping 5 game sample size.

I mean the general sentiment is that Nash just has this overwhelming abundance of snipers just glued to the bench and he has some pathological need to play Brown and Bembry and Johnson.

But like, what are the alternatives? Nobody else is any good either. The fact is, without Kyrie and Harris, our shooters are Durant, Harden, and Mills...and that's about it. Maybe Griffin and Aldridge too...they're not scaring anybody from 3 though.

Any chances this game gets Nash fired. Won't happen but really wish it would.

Love you KD but this is easily his worst game as a Net.

Thank You. I don’t have no clue why some are still holding onto this great white hope that Nash knows what he’s doing.

He clearly could feel this game and see it needs someone like Cam or DDJ and he simply refuses to do a thing but stagger Harden and KD into oblivion.

How were we winning games before this? Kyrie and Harris have been gone for 90% of the season

Bembry is hitting 46% from 3 but hasn’t tried one. Durant is shooting terrible this game but I guess they are being super physical and throwing him off.

Which means something is up in the locker room as I mentioned.

Yep, if these losses can get him fired, I would not complain.

I wouldn't be shocked at all. 3 bad losses at home in a row. Our stars are overplayed and frustrated. He's not playing the roster he has.

Not to mention - we're about to fall to basically .500 at home. We have the lowest NET RTG out of the legit playoff teams. Our record against teams in the top 10 is by far the worst out of the contenders. I think we're at 3-9 now - maybe worse.

A lot of concerning trends that you can overlook if you have the team playing with spirit and together. Not happening right now.

That's kind of the point isn't it? We were winning a bunch of games without those two...despite poor spacing...which means poor spacing isn't suddenly the reason that we're losing games. I mean, until health and safety protocols, when did Edwards or Duke or Cam get consistent playing time this season?

I think we've simply hit a cold stretch, which is totally 100% normal...every team hits a losing streak every now and then.

Again, what are the alternatives to who Nash is playing? We do this all the time, we act like some no name rookie or G-league call up is the secret savior and the reason why we're losing is because they're not out there, and Nash is just some idiot for not seeing it.

Edwards is the one guy that kind of addresses this spacing issue (but again, it was a 5 game sample size, I have no idea if that's something that would have stayed that way or if he would have also fallen off), but that's just 1 player that you can make the argument for. Otherwise, I don't really see much else sitting on the bench that Nash is just wasting.
