Paolo with the power move is nice. Whistle just not going our way

Lol yeah let's take out the only guy on our team that's not playing into exactly what BKN wants.

Why are we taking shots early in the shot clock? BKN wants to run so we need to do things to slow that down. Early shots are not it unless they are drives to the hoop with a whistle.

We win games with defense first.

Such a weak ass foul on Bridges, if you foul him make sure he can't make a shot

Gotta do something about Bridges. Put Black on him full time. If he’s gonna draw fouls then make them count and shake him up a bit.

We aren't passing much on offense. Can't move away from what we are good at.

Suggs failing to make an impact tonight, too. Also is Bridges sleeping with that female ref or smt?

Oh look Franz has to basically get assaulted to get a call.

Exactly, we have to slow the game down, execute, secure the boards. This is on coach.

They've missed (literally, I counted them up) 14 layups or tip ins already. Many of them leading to immediate runs outs the other way.

There's no magical coaching fairydust to sprinkle on that. Just gotta actually make those shots.

I don't understand the eye roll emoji. All I'm was saying is the team don't fall into the tempo trap of the Nets. It will be twice now that we're going to lose to them in same fashion. I was agreeing with Chosen on his assessment.

It’s always one person on the Nets that tend to go off…and it’s like that throughout the game. Bridges isn’t going to let down in the second half just like Spencer didn’t. I am not sure why that is the pattern for us against this team. I guess it is something out team is going to learn to play through and one day eventually learn how to get through and win games like this but for now, on a second night of a back to back, I can’t imagine how tired they are and they have to mentally get up and dig down to win these types of game. I’m not mad at them.

I think we’ll be able to see these types of crazy wins during Franz and Paolo’s prime and we are witnessing the baby steps to those future wins.

I really don't mind catching a serious whooping. Hopefully it will help them refocus defensively for the rest of the month.

Will our defensive team allow 150 tonight?

Post #296 » by **eyriq** » Sun Dec 3, 2023 1:17 am

An empathetic reminder that our defense has regressed

Post #297 » by **Bensational** » Sun Dec 3, 2023 1:17 am

No flagrant. Goga was going for the ball.

Happy to look at the box score and see Isaac hasnt been put in. Even when they cleared him I expected him not to go in if it got ugly early, which it did

My apologies, I see now you were praising the adjustment.

It didn't last long though :lol:
