First game without KD and against an elite team. Give it a rest.
Lets see how the next few games go.

Not even sure if that type of trade is feasible, but I feel like it is going to take a player like them added to Brooklyn for the Nets to really overthrow the Celtics from the top.

Sumner and Cam are threats off the dribble but didn't enter the game.Gooner wrote:It will take some time to adjust to playing without KD, but comparing Nets without KD to Celtics without Brown, Celtics still have more guys that can create with the basketball. Brogdon, Smart, White, even Pritchard, they can all make plays and help Tatum. Nets don't have anyone outside of Kyrie who is a real threat off the dribble. Simmons can pass and he is great in transition, but against a set defense he is no threat to score and he showed it with this 0 point performance. It's just unacceptable for a guy with that size and athleticism to be so passive. With KD being out, that issue becomes much bigger.
Backup center is also the issue. Some of these lineups are just too small. Richaun Holmes is available, he would be a good fit for this team.

He ain't 100 yet. He just don't have that bounce speed.
Will be issue later in a season.
How 6's doing ?
Harden ain't Harden we know either from what I've seen
Harden had 24 points 15 assists tonight . Coming off back to back triple double doubles in the last three games. Harden is averaging 22 points 11 assists 7 boards this season.

One of them needs to play, yes.

It was given in a 2nd half once they focused on Ben and took him out the game. You can say he picked dumb fouls for no reason, thing is, Curry was liability in a 2nd half that let Ben into those situations. If them two clowns would've put Cam or Sumner, totally different ball game.
Curry unplayable vs Saltics period. JV/ Kokoskov failed to adjust after half time to Brogdan, let me repeat this again BROGDAN WHO IS WASHED UP BUM. Even trash like Pritch scored on him with ease.
Once Nic went to the bench, it was lay up fest. KD covered a lot before, now he won't be available for some time.
When BUM AZZ like Mazzulla being able to expose JV/Kokoskov, we in a world of trouble here. Depth can only take you that far.
Some here will wake up into harsh reality soon if those two clowns won't improve big time. I got huge doubts on that. Even with KD they showed their limitations. Now it will get magnified even more.
I don't hate Seth or Joe. During regular season they can be helpful, they just unplayable vs chip contenders or during PO. Limited minutes here and there maybe, but at what cost?

Build good habits, hopefully in this KD-less stretch we get the guys whos been underperforming offensively in a groove like Ben, Joe and to a lesser extent TJ. I'd rather build a team identity, move the ball and ride the hot hand rather than forceably try to keep playing our isoball style. It's just setting Kyrie, who despite all his gifts is a somewhat physically frail 6'1 guy up for failure. Guys like that can score in the NBA, but it's not usually in the 50/40/90 way that we expect out of Kai.
