I'd rather play Yuta than Clax at thip point but it won't happen

[therealbig3]

This is the one matchup where Claxton becomes a liability. He just can't handle Embiid 1 on 1, but he can switch onto anyone else Philly has and hold his ground. I love him, but Embiid is just not the one. Just too physically strong for him. He'll also flop a lot and get him in foul trouble.

Clax has bigger problems on the offensive end, where PHI can stick weaker defenders on him and get away with it because he has no bag. Or stick Embiid on him and he can roam the paint and block shots.

ROYCE O’NEAL PLAYED THIRTY FIVE MINUTES. he had six points

Meh, Claxton fit perfectly fine offensively when we had Kyrie and Durant.

Bigs today don't need to be offensive playmakers or shooters unless they're super skilled like Embiid or Jokic. They need to be able to catch and finish and play defense. Claxton does both at an elite level.

Of course he would fit because KD & Ky are 2 of the greatest offensive players in our generation. We don't have that now. If we are going to win at the next level, we need a modern big man, not a Clint Capela.

Who is your modern day big?

[GTR11]

This is JV and Kokoskov led team . They not even subpar level HC material. Kenny led outcast and dump offs won game and actually where able to score more than 84pts.

The hot takes beyond hilarious though.

Need a bucket getter like DeRozen next year to weather next season though. Our guard situation is pathetic to say least. I want all of them gone. Bench guys Jones, Quickly etc provide at least something to look for. This trash here does not belong in NBA.

[Hello Brooklyn]

We will not win if we don't hit 3s. This was the case in the regular season too.

If we start shooting well from 3 at home we could win a game. Otherwise its lights out.

Dinwiddie/DFS have just been massive dissapointments. Netiehr can make any 3s and it kills our offense.

[CalamityX12]

Royce was brought in to complement kd n kyrie


No more 7 11....

[CalamityX12]

I said it before, it's just a bad matchup for us. We no way equip to compete vs Embiid either player or coach wise.

I predicted sweep but obviously would like one

Just show some compete n killer instinct for gm 3

They are trying but too many wtf moments

A big part of Claxton's problem is that Dinwiddie can't throw a lob.

[CalamityX12]

Wish we had a home-base like the kings

Fans are great

Hope we are too(of course having a solid unit helps)

[3pt_chucker]

Watching the Warriors and the Kings play basketball after a Nets game and it just looks like a different sport.

Like the Kings are more talented than the Nets but just look at how they approach the game. Great attention to detail on both ends and a clear philosophy. Fox has been incredible clutch scorer but it never feels like he's forcing iso's. Everything happens within the flow of their offense and nothing is forced. It allows the whole team to play with confidence.

There is many ways to win but man, our coaching staff just nuetters the talent on this team. Kings are not scared to use their bench appropriately and empowers their players. Meanwhile, JV benches our talented players and constantly talk s*** about them in the media. Zero accountability from coach either when he gets things wrong.

Mike Brown challenges his best players (FOx + Sabonis) to do the right things(accountability) and JV just lets Dinwiddie do whatever he wants to the detriment of the team, without ever calling him out for trash play and effort.

If there are no staff/front office changes in the offseason, I will probably check out from the Nets for a bit tbh.

I don't see one damn team in a playoffs and call them a good match up if I'm being 100. Giannis? Saltics ? Cavs... they whipped our azz just before PO, Miami? They mediocre team, but during PO they will smoke us out. ATL got Snyder and Trae, we got nothing to answer.

Here's our deal here. Tsai wanted to roll dice and see if things can change come regular season. All that went down the drain ten games into the season with Kyrie throwing another shenanigan and being unhappy with contract situation. Than KD goes down as usual and Tsai pulls the plug on this dumpsterfire experiment.

They tried to hire coach Marks know and got connection with, but here comes Silver and says don't do it now. Maybe when things will quit down. Than Marks goes along and extends this dumb azz tool.

Than we trade both insecure clowns and actually managed to pull an all star with bunch of assets. Got very lucky here.

Now let's see what's happening around to make a calculated decisions:
1. Dame been hurt and don't want to be rebuild situation. LAL is preferred destination, but LBJ only wants his to spend picks on his boy Kyrie. So they keeping Dame as a fall back plan.
2. Brown wants max money. Saltics already gave it to Tatum. So he's only way to remain there with max money if he ends up in 1st team. Very doable now with KD being shipped out. However he also entertaining options getting home or near by in South Beach. Both teams herd the word and now looking to unload cap.
3. Zion pretty much quit on Pelicans and giving Langdon signs to trade him out. He obviously wants to play at the Gawden with his boy.
4. Ingram is tight. First he had to deal with Kobe, than comes LBJ and packages him into AD trade. Now he sees Fat Azz being paid and demanding trade on the low. He refuses to stay quiet here and calls him out while also saying he is unhappy. Clear sign for any GM to come get him.
5. LaMelo kept himself and dady quiet because MJ is MJ. Now MJ looking to sell. So he goes to say he ain't sure what tomorrow will look like. He wants out too.
6. ATL tried to move Collins for two years now. There ain't no takers out there. So they traded for Murray and shopping Trae now hoping to clear enough cap space and get assets for Brown. Home boy that can attract another star along.
7. Jimmy is washed up and Pat looking to upgrade him with Brown. South Beach is attractive itself for top talent.

Now we got this other situations in Orlando and Dallas where teams willing to skip steps and compete with their young stars. They got lotto picks that apparently available for the right guys that fit them. On the other hand we got Craptors and ChiTown ready blow it up and rebuild on the go with their main guy intact.

This kid Taylor Hendricks can complete our front court or make Nic expendable depending on the circumstances. He is pretty much Nic Claxton with tear drop and 40% 3 pointer, high energy guy with all star potential written all over him. He started the season being in mid twenties, now several mocks have him in 4-6 range. I wouldn't think twice sending CamJ ( who will get over paid ) and two picks in Orlando to get him. That rookie contract and talent that he brings will be huge for us with Ben being on board.

Sorry for the long post.

Doc made adjustments during the half and Nets had no answers on either end of the floor.

Did Doc really adjust on the defensive end? I feel like Sixers have been giving the Nets opportunities all game and Nets simply couldn't convert.

In the 2nd half, Embiid operated from the elbow, than from the block. He turns the ball too much on doubles at the block.

Then defensively, Sixers played more zone defense

No disrespect, but Sixers tried to see if they can play their B game in the first half, after that dominant performance in game 1. When that was not in the cards after trailing in the first half, Sixers went back to their A game and it was over

These aren't exactly advanced stats, but for all the offensive talent Sixers have, for you guys to only score 24 points in the 3rd is either an accomplishment for the Nets or a disappointment for the Sixers. The problem for the Nets is only scoring 14. This wasn't exactly because of some adjustment from defensive guru Doc Rivers. Cam (who cooled off), Royce, DFS, and Dinwiddie got PLENTY of open looks. Playoff Joe also showing up didn't help.

This certainly wasn't a pause of Plan A from Doc. Playoff Harden simply showed up so that was one less guy to worry about. Small ball was working much better than having Claxton on the floor. Maxey was stepping up all game after a somewhat disappointing Game 1. Nets got to within 1 not long after the start of the 4th. However, it wasn't enough for the Nets offense to shoot themselves in the feet with an assault rifle, but tiring themselves covering for the double (and not even just Embiid for some reason) and giving up offensive rebounds due to playing small is and will continue to be the constant theme for the rest of the series.

We need a lot more than that to win at the next level. Starting with PG

[MrDollarBills]

Oh well. At least we got a poster out of it

[NetsWorld]

Back to the ol' Nets as they say. It's true, this is what the media wanted; a team that was starless and was not a threat. They got what they wanted and us fans now have to deal with a product that will be mediocre until we sign another two players that will get us over the hump(maybe/maybe not) but we did give Philly a run for their money. It's such a shame we couldn't win with three historic players on the same team and it was no coincidence, it was deliberate and it was rigged. Giannis got his karma in Game 1 for what he did to us two years ago. Those things don't go unforgotten. As Nets fan for twenty plus years, this song is nothing new to my ears.
