Nets (1-0) at Celtics (0-1) Preseason Game #2 12/18/20

[blink]

The Celtics can get there way inside. The Nets are not a good defensive squad. Keep pounding it inside!!!

Yeah, I suggest keep attacking the rim Jaylen / Tatum.

Brad is going to have to bite the bullet and start Teague until Kemba is back. Note enough playmaking otherwise.

And the fact that Smart has five three point attempts in the first quarter only making one just proves that.

Yep the balls not moving around at all, our offense is mainly pull up 3s ie spot up 3s other than a couple of good plays by Tatum to feed Theis.

When you get a random long rebound and it's a 1-on-4, what do you do?

A. Quickly reset the offense and hope for a good look;
B. Jack up a 3 when there's zero chance of getting the rebound.

I have seen Marcus Smart pick B every time he's ever been in that situation.

[ozgod]

We are 1-10 from 3 in 6 mins

I wonder how many of those misses were from Smart. That last missed three by him was very frustrating.

He’s 1 from 5

KD flop!

[jpotter33]

Oh what a blatant flop by Durant. Forgot how soft he is, and how much I hate him as a player since the GS move.

[blink]

and really quickly it is 20-11

Without fail. His offensive IQ is sometimes basement level

[Boris Badenov]

We're making the Nets look like the best defense in the NBA.

(They're not.)

Agreed -- gotta have more ball-handling and playmaking out there. Too much of the offense is happening in front of the defense. Never getting behind that first line of defense. Not forcing enough help defense. Easy to defend.

[liam]

Bring in the shooters you drafted!

[DefenseWinsChamps]

That girl ref has been pretty horrible so far. Not saying that because she's a girl. Just saying it because that particular ref has been terrible.

[jpotter33]

There you go, Smart. That's what I want to see from you.

Already 5-0 on crap, soft fouls.

[blink]

Timelord's def looked clean on that one

[Tr1boy]

need to put PP in there

Teague and Smart look lost
