NBA Game Action : 2/2/2021

Too much sportsmanship, hate to see it.

 

Fantastic win for the Nets.

Kyrie was the human torch.

Kd was the unstoppable Thing.

Hardens hands/reach/touch was all over the game.

The rest of the Nets were a bit invisible but not in a negative way.

 

That rule is a gimmick. Players been embarrassing each other even after that was put in place.

 

It's such a stupid rule. You are literally bodying up the same dudes on the floor.

 

I see how Beal losses so much while scoring 35+ points. He don't do anything else other than score. Not a great passer, Not a great rebounder, and not a good defender.

 

Alright, lets check this game out.

Kyrie Irving 80 TS% on 39 points. with 2 assists and one turnover, accounting for 43 points, minus 4

Kevin Durant 90 TS% on 28 points with 0 assists and 5 turnovers, minus 8

James Harden 23 points for 62 TS% 14 assists, 3 turnovers accounting accounting for 51 points, Plus 8


Its close between Irving and Harden but given Harden's excellent and I mean excellent defense(and my personal bias ) I conclude that James Harden was again the best player on the floor tonight.

What do you guys think. I woulndt be mad if people said Kyrie though.

 

It’s just formality of putting that in place. The players are going to do what they want. They tried it for the nfl. Obviously that didn’t matter. Eventually it becomes nothing

 

I love this Warriors court and uniforms. It reminds me of that 06-07 Barron Davis warriors squad that upset the Jazz I believe it was.

 

The plus minus for all 3 is pretty insane

 

Nets level of defensive effort when facing good teams like the Clippers and Bucks as opposed to sorry or irrelevant teams like the Wizards and Cavs is night and day

 

4th best rating in the league against teams above .500 prior to tonight

 

Durant shot 88% like wtf lol

 

scary hours

 

Damn, wiseman is out! I wanted to watch the kid play.

 

Yea, and they take a lot of jump shots, which makes the number looks even more ridiculous. I mean it's hard to imagine that someone shooting 85% from outside of the paint in a game is taking only 13 shots because there is a better option, lol. Both PG and Kawhi are shooting about 50% from the floor, and you'll have the feeling that they're not efficient because the efficiency of the Nets is just insane.

Nets offense can definitely get even better, Guys like Durant, Harris and Shamet need to reduce their decision making and limit turnovers. If they can reduce their turnovers to a top 10 level (which I believe they're capable of doing), this team really can have the best offense in the history of the NBA.

 

Robert Covington played his first game of the season tonight lmao

Nothing like playing the Wizards to cure your basketball ills.

 

28 pts on 11-13 shooting... Imagine if he didn't concede plays to Irving and Harden

 

Draymond with them hot potato ass assists

 

I think that's the reason why only 2 of their losses are against teams that have an above 500 record (both against Memphis actually).

 

Tatum's new back tattoo seems to be leaking out of his jersey.
