Grayson finally found the basket

Down to 4 at the end of the 3rd
Crazy run, good to see them battling through

Funny what happens when we move the ball around and not try to force stupid shots or go iso.

The thing is we still have many sequences of good basketball when someone gets downhill forces the defense to rotate and we get ball movement and a basket

I know I seem to be repeating this over n over but so many of our bad possessions are KD at top
Just keep it up fellas 8-)
And please when KD comes back just use him in the Dirk spot, as a screener.....
Anything but dribbling up top while everyone else watches :oops: :oops:

Please and Thanks lol

Better start than expected. Crazy that Nurk already had 12 boards in the first quarter.

Stop passing to Eubanks in the post.
And downhill from there. This team is embarrassing. I almost hope they don’t make the playoffs.
I almost feel the same way but I wouldnt wish that on Book. Plus if we would luck into a top 3 pick the Nets would just swap it.
Yeah, good points. Looks like my reverse jinx is working.

Bradley Beal as a point guard is not a good idea

Nurk now with 28 rebounds

The turnovers (17) are killing them tonight though.

Turnovers killing us. Fuck.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Yeah that fits the eye test

Don't know if we gonna try close now with a small ball lineup after losing the lead
But having Drew in when Nurk was out been rough all game

Perfect example as he gets his 31st board and then promptly throws it away.

22 turnovers. You're not going to win a game like that.

You have to be a special kind of bad to be this poor at passing and decision making in a game being played in March

17 turnovers from Durant, Beal and Nurkic.

That's not going to get it done.

It doesn’t matter. Best we’ll do is get to the 2nd round and that’s if we even make the playoffs which is looking iffy the way we’re playing and with our upcoming schedule.
