Got in late so I just caught the half. All things considered, this isn't the worst situation to be in. Hamilton and Harris had some real serendipitous ish happen on a few possessions to go with just insane shooting even against close outs. The offense when it ran sets wasn't the prettiest thing ever, but the pick and roll stuff really killed late. Courtney Lee getting the ball in motion going East to West is something else. The defense on pick and rolls wasn't awful but the close outs on shooters left a lot to be desired and they need to at least flash like they MIGHT double Brook. He's getting four and five dribbles in isolated post-ups which is gonna allow him to eat damn near any Center in the league. Can't let him be that comfortable.

Forecast:
I don't expect the Nets to keep hitting three's.
Jennings and Lance played like duds that half, Lance ain't getting a full name drop til he has a good game. He's Cant Get Right for the night.
I think KP could eat well if the Nets adjust to stop Lee from eating them inside.
Rose is having another nice game.
I REALLY would like to see Kuz and/or Baker get a few minutes this half.

What's going on brehs?

Are they giving up on Hornacek already or do they just don't want/know to play D?

Honestly, there's some better movement and communication but they're closing out soft on forwards at the three point line and the Nets aren't a team you can do that to apparently (Hamilton has done this to us twice, Brook is shooting it now and Harris knocked down some work too).
