C's really need to start the 3rd on a run. Also, someone like Fournier is going to really need to step up. You know they are going to try and take Tatum away from the game and dare others to win it

Tatum has checked out

...of all the possible takeaways a person could have after watching that first half, I don't understand how you could have that one.

Tatum is playing his ass off.  He was out there for all but 3 minutes and he was aggressive.  The Nets are throwing everything else at him because they think our other guys can't hurt them, and they're right.

Agreed!

I was referring defense and rebounds.  I wasn’t expecting much offensively as you noted he is getting swarmed/hacked.

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
Well, this was a fun game until we decided to go funhouse mirror on our rotation. We were unlikely to win regardless, but ever since Brad's G-League lineup decision they've clearly controlled the tempo and game.

These are the mind-numbing decisions from him - in a playoff game no less - that makes me think he just can't take us to the promised land. Even in a low stakes game with plenty of excuses to lose, he continues to find ways to mess up.

It'd be great to be destroying the Nets right now, but we are pretty depleted. They have all of their best players and we are missing 60% of our starting line-up. It'd be like if they were missing Kyrie, Harden, and Harris, while we were completely healthy.

I am certainly hoping for the best in the 2nd half and will cheer the team on until the end, but I absolutely understand why Brad is trying the combinations he is - he really doesn't have much of a choice.

Today is the kind of game Nesmith and Pritchard could come alive and make 5 threes

Brad has to find the hot hand...

Tatum needs help

Pritchard, Nesmith, Kornet, shooting!!!!

I love that Harden complains about the very calls against him that he draws 24/7.

Brad's "live by the 3, die by the 3" offense is killing us tonight

That is absolutely a 10 second violation on the free throws by Kyrie, too lol Of course they won't call that, though.
