Nice post D by Kyrie on RHJ on a switch by the way...

Pathetic performance by the bench in that second quarter...on both ends of the floor.

Is Morris still on some kind of minutes restriction? He's versatile enough to play 30+ minutes against any wing or swing. He doesn't get much burn
Might be still on restriction. He def was on one last week.

Is Marcus bringing anything to this game so far?

Nope, and the worst part is that he isn't even hustling to the loose balls. On two occasions on the defensive end, there was a loose ball (horribly missed lay-up on Baynes and another that bounced right in front of him) that he easily could have gotten, but Nets players got to it first and they hit 3s on both occasions. The obvious goal-tend was pretty dumb, too. If Smart isn't hustling, I am not sure what he offers.

Rozier is awful tonight, too. If just one of them shows up in the 2nd half, we should be good to go - not too much to ask.

Pretty awful from Smart. No energy.

Maybe the only time Ive ever been able to say that about him.

Smart (and Rozier also) had a horrid first half. Naturally the game is close so if he just has a great last 8 minutes about 7 posters will declare him the next coming of Gary Payton and that I'm a hater. You can set your watch to it.

Honestly I'm looking forward to it, because it will mean another win

Yeah, I really don't understand it either. I think with Brad going bigger with two of Al, Baynes, and Theis out there at a time tonight it has hurt his playing time, but that doesn't really explain why he's played so little in most of the other games.

Terrible second quarter. Bench cannot play that slow and stationary on both ends.

Yes Morris is on a minutes limit still, he's stated it annoys him and disrupts his rhythm.

Props to RHJ.  He's really improved his offensive game.  He was an unmitigated disaster his rookie year.
