I agree with Frank Isola here. Run Kyrie for 40 mins a night since he's only a part time player.

I mean, I don't hate it.

True. You would have thought Bembery would be the one to start.

Not gonna lie, I don't appreciate Patty Mills being thrown under the bus (as a starter) for Kyrie.

I prefer Kessler than DDJ to start but I'll take it means that Steve Nash is actually trying things.

Whatever gets the kids into the rotation is fine with me. Duke plays with energy and gives us a line up with 4 guys that can handle the rock

Paddy's averaged over 35mpg for December, which might help explain some of his off-shooting nights.

I'm okay with him getting more rest and hopefully having fresher legs down the road.

He needed to rest. He’s been playing far too much and played tons of minutes during the Harden/KD quarantine.

Kyrie looking very rusty so far.

I think Patty needs the breather though. He’s been high usage all year and could use a pressure relief

Of course a 10 day scrub come in and plays like a superstar against us

lol This is what we get for never signing Lance as a Net.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #32 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Thu Jan 6, 2022 1:10 am

WTF is happening? Lance Stephenson is on pace to score 80 points???

THIS TEAM IS SO **** STUPID.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #33 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Thu Jan 6, 2022 1:11 am

No need to double! No problem. Well done Nash.

Stone · Post #34 » by **Stone** » Thu Jan 6, 2022 1:11 am

All this talk about Lance Steveson's 20......KD has 16 and nobody notices.

This is why these covid games are so unpredictable

Lol..we are so bad.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #36 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Thu Jan 6, 2022 1:15 am

Kyrie playing harder than almost any of these guys. And he hasn't played in 6 months.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #37 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Thu Jan 6, 2022 1:21 am

Our defensive numbers were fake. We just suck again.

Shark · Post #38 » by **Shark** » Thu Jan 6, 2022 1:22 am

We've gotten really bad at closing out 3pt shooters.

MrDollarBills · Post #39 » by **MrDollarBills** » Thu Jan 6, 2022 1:22 am

I miss Mike D'Antoni.

There. I said it.

Zach Lowe pointed out a while ago that teams were shooting way worse from 3 against us than expect. And that our defense may just be a ton of luck.

Looking like that was the case.
