LMAO we deserve this.

IDK about you guys, but this is 100% on the players, especially our two stars. Yeah Harden gets the pretty stat line with the 30 point triple double, but did you see some of the lazy ass turnovers that him and KD were committing throughout that 4th quarter that kept giving the Clippers life? And these last two possessions man, WTF was Harden doing? Basically just milked the clock to 5 seconds and then had to put up a desperation 3.

The problem with James Harden is that he plays the same way regardless of the situation, and that's not a good thing. He needs to play quicker, play more decisively...and instead he holds the ball and milks the shot clock. Every. Single. Time.

Scary part about Bulls is that Vuc getting it going and finding his role. I wouldn't take Bulls lightly by any means. I'm looking forward to that upcoming game.

Vuc? You mean extreme playoff liability Vuc? Nah man... He's not going to be a problem against any good team.

If we going to play like this, that narrative will change soon.

Agreed, but you have to put him into position where he can excel and actually be fluid. I get on Harden for his lazy azz play myself, it's just hard to get on him because he actually running around dumbfounded what to do. We have issues

That was awful execution in the 4th, just terrible basketball after Patty fouled out

This is what your superstars wanted. Nash is just a guy who calls a few timeouts and a few plays here and there. Kd and Kyrie let it be known that they don't "need a coach" and Harden has always been a ball dominant guy who doesn't contribute when he doesn't have it. Nash was chosen for a reason, and you guys will have to live with it for better or worse. Watching Harden play it seems like he's overthinking a lot on some possessions. On others he just does his thing and either gets a bucket/foul or kicks it to an open shooter.

Nash should have given Edwards a look...

Absolutely disgusting loss.

Everyone needs to sit and think about how this went down. Nash had some bad rotations but there was some awful defense out there as well. Guys who are our defensive dogs on this roster did not do their jobs tonight.

Patty also needs to do better, that push off foul that took him out was awful, but he also had two bad plays before it.

This was a team loss, and inexcusable.

There was zero spacing after Mills fouled out, the Clippers packed the paint. What is he going to do when every time he drives there are 4 jerseys there? Kick it out to Bruce Brown?

How come you don't post on here after wins? Every time we lose however, you've got something to say

Nash should have given Thomas or Edwards a look. Where are they now?

I think the whole team just did not have the intensity to do it in this past two games..In other words, they got cocky.. They think with KD and Kyrie back, things are gonna be easy..

He was really bad tonight.

I questioned why Brown got the start over Bembry and I was right

Brown should be Bembry's back up. He should not be playing 20+ mins when we have young guys that actually can score on the roster.

Karate Diop · Post #74 » by **Karate Diop** » Sun Jan 2, 2022 3:19 am

Not really sure what to say... That 13 point lead should have never gone away... Team played poorly down the stretch but Nash didn't help.

I've hesitated from being overalls critical of Nash l, but I'm nearing my end with him...

NetsWorld · Post #75 » by **NetsWorld** » Sun Jan 2, 2022 3:24 am

At the rate we are headed, and Kyrie only coming back part time, say hello to the fourth or fifth seed. Bucks,Heat and Bulls are all teams that could beat us.

Nothing to critique after a win :lol:

. Kd is my fav player atm so I want you guys to win the title. But, it's true that Nash was picked because the stars like their iso ball. The advantage of course is you guys have the top 2 iso guys in the league and if Kyrie gets the vegan shot you have 3 unstoppable iso heavy guys. But at times you need to move the ball to generate easy looks so the stars can get even more space to do their thing.

Right, but it's his end-of-game mgmt specifically, Bill.

I've NEVER seen anything like Steve Nash' COMPLETE incompetence in terms of managing critical situations.

Seeding does not matter as long as they gel which is more important than winning games..

Assuming Ky can only play part time, I would want us to be the lower seed because our play like ass at home and awesome on the road this season.

MrDollarBills · Post #79 » by **MrDollarBills** » Sun Jan 2, 2022 3:35 am

Harden just said that the spacing wasn't great.

I don't think Harden is 100% in on Nash. He didn't absolve the coaching from this.

Nash sucks balls.

Nash is awful. He benched Aldridge, had James Johnson at small ball 5 instead of Claxton, and didn't get another shooter into the rotation when Bruce Brown was pretty much trash on both ends.
