Feels like the last several games we've devolved a bit back into the "my turn, your turn" stuff with the Jays.

missing smart to stir the drink tonight

Big time. Really don’t like taking the air out of the ball with four minutes left.

Just tuned in - has the defense been this intense the entire game ?

Yes.  Offense is missing tonight.

Have they reverted to iso or are they moving well and just missing shots ?

It’s too early to slow down the offense

Yep - they gotta learn to keep the offensive movement going late in a tight game.
They tend to tighten up and go back to what they are used to - isolation offense.

Yup and the lead dropped from 11 to 5 in no time.

Too much iso. Not taking advantage of what the nets are giving them. Tatum with 7 TOs.

What’s saving us is we have turned over KD 7 times. He’s starting to look tired.

Turnovers have been killing the Nets.  Durant with 7

Defense has been pretty good in the 2nd half all things considered.

We're playing very sloppy but still controlling this game which is very encouraging. Defense looks great

I think it’s been good defense by the Nets and missing Smart’s passing.  The iso didn’t begin until the last few minutes while trying to kill the clock (which was too early to do so).

Does that young ref have a ginormous set of chompers, or is he wearing a mouthguard? lol
