Nets have 3 superstars & just scored almost 150 points. Yet the talk of NY is Immanuel Quickley. New York is, and always will be, a Knicks town. The Nets dont even raise a blip. Pretty incredible. Now matter how bad the Knicks are, NY just does not give a shit about the Nets.

As much as I like Mitchell, it’s always been fuck the Jazz so that choke job was satisfying (even though I hate the clippers almost as much)
That contract of Gobert’s is among the worst in pro sports. In the playoffs teams hunt him and expose him, he wasn’t even protecting the rim last night Mann was dunking all over him. When teams go small, you should have one or two post moves so you can punish them but he has nothing beyond put backs and lobs
As an aside, I think last night was the first time I’ve heard Quin Snyder talk and he doesn’t sound like I expected - he looks like coke but he sounds like weed

Gobert let everything by him & didnt even guard the perimeter. They hit 3 after 3 after 3 after 3 on him. Guy should have been taken out at first hint of them blowing the lead. Reggie Jackson & Terrance Manm owned his ass. It was a beautiful sight. Donovan Mitchell should be allowed to beat him up now without repercussion, tbh. Guy gave him Covid, acted like a complete imbecile, shut down the league then cost him in an elimination playoff game.

I watched the Jazz a lot and he has been their best player this season by far, he isn't an offensive player but defensively he is a beastGobert is the worst best player in the league. Somehow worse than Pandemic P. Jazz gave this guy $205M to blow a 20 point lead to a Kawhi-less Clippers led by said Pandemic P

The Jazz aren't setup for him to guard perimeter, they are set up to let everyone to go by and go in lanes
Mitchell this series has been since his ankle and simply put isnt a point guard. The difference between the Jazz with Conley playing well/Rubio and with Mitchell at point is night and day
Mitchell can find players but isnt a point guard
OMG THE LUCK! Lol nets
Nash might want to use a bit more rotation next playoffs. Durant was done in OT. Played every minute the last like 3 games. That OT was 5 minutes too far

He is stubborn and got a weak team behind him
In one way the process has been a joke because they drafted 2 Centres and 2 Point Guards.
But the truth is, they didn't, Ben was a small forward/Power Forward when they drafted him, him being stubborned derailed Fultz before it happened by claiming he was Point Guard regardless days after Fultz was drafted
People have been hyping him up since his first season but he hasn't worked on any weaknesses and he has big ones regardless of whether he shoots or not.
Fultz with Embiid, had a +/- of +20 whereas Simmons and Embiid had a +/- of +8. Now neither Point guard at that point could shoot, though Fultz with one arm was trying lol. So what was Fultz doing that Simmons wasn't? He was playmaking in the half court offence, whereas Ben just becomes static. Fultz was getting busy with the PnR and could find Embiid in the Post without trying to get a mis match
Doc, said telling that Simmons he doesn't know if Simmons can be point Guard on a championship team and that was telling imo. He needs to be power forward and bring it up in transition only

Giannis is awful at free throws too but at least he's always aggressive and he isn't afraid to shoot jump shots (the 3pt attempts are criminal though). He's clearly trying to improve it, although his shooting form was much better when he was a rookie...
PS: Bud should be fired regardless of what happens and Giannis should play Center.
Also the 76ers roster construction isn't very good, three guys on the All Defensive Team (LOL) but they can only depend on Joel (I fall over so many times a game for no damn reason and I'm injury prone) Embiid and Seth Curry.

Nets get desperate because of various reasons and call Kyrie back to play in away games.
He tests positive for COVID on his first test.
So much for that attempt.

Josh Giddy.
Will be a star.
Just needs to work on that shooting. 18 boards is crazy from a guard.
