Great bounce back win
Luke Kennard REALLY lost his spot. I like his shooting but he’s too timid and the Mann is starting to believe

Its shocking(not really) to see Kennard demoted to garbage time
I pictured a ceiling for T-Mann but he's bust through that wall fully and I don't know how good he can become as of right now. Not a star player but shyt he might one day kick the tires on stardom at the rate he's going not to mention how hungry and hard he plays. Kawhi balled out. I wasn't even mad at the first but definitely pissed if we lost this one. Low key I think Utah might be peaking too early imo

As I’ve said before Mann has a NBA physique and some skill. It’s all about confidence. If he believes then that’s half the battle. He keeps Bev off the court and continues to build. I don’t mind Luke not being the best defender but if that mothafukka can’t play with heart & tenacity then fukk it. I like Lue’s approach thus far
Agreed.. And Mann ballin' out on both ends of the floor pretty much cancels out Pat Bev. Crazy thing is Pat make about $12 million dollars more than Mann a season

The only problem with Mann is homie still to slow & green for a Kyrie/Mitch/Dennis. Keep him where he’s at but he’s damn sure not ready for the big time as of yet

Mann is Bev's protege
Wtf was that? The game was in the bag. Ditch the ball movement and chuck up threes. Serge was glued to the bench for some reason. PG was shyt in the 2nd half and Kawhi didn't demand the ball in the closing minutes. All we needed was a couple of inside post move shots from him. At least draw a foul and get to the line. We got to 100 pts and shut it all down.. smh

There is validity to the fact that these guys STRUGGLE in tight games going down the line. I just don't see smart basketball when it matters most. One thing I will give Bron is those guys win or lose at the end but they tend to get the looks they want.

Those last 4 min of crunch time basketball was awful. Straight awful. Every game is a learning experience but jesus, some games hurt more than others.

This is the deepest team in The NBA..This team however has losing habits. The last two games should have been won. The supporting cast did their job. ISO ball will not lead this team where they want to go. It’s not by chance that bad things happen when pg goes for dolo with everybody standing around. It’s not by chance that good things happen when they move the ball. Ty HAS to break these guys of those losing habits. There is no point guard so smart decisions are pivotal when it matters
I look forward to Zu playing a lesser role in the playoffs

Why can't they just run the offense and/or take it to the rim? PG gets to the basket at will with ease so for the love of god why is he always settling for that jump shot when he doesn't have to? All the top players do this when their shot isn't falling. Ty has to get in his ear. Let two teams off the hook two games in a row. Yeah we were down two top players but that game was winnable. PG played good though except for the final minutes again. Reggie balled out. Not sure on Zu anymore and does Luke Kennard have a pulse?

The first Nets game still sticks out in my mind as a microcosm of Zu’s issues. A washed DJ dominated him during his minutes and that was the turning point of that game. They don’t put him in the position to work in the post and he typically doesn’t have the foot speed to contest pick & rolls. I’m struggling to see Zu’s upside aside from being a big body
Yeah at worst he could gain some muscle and be a bruiser/rebounder type. Too many athletic dudes get the best of him. That's why we needed a dude like Kabengele to develop who was looked upon to crack the rotation. With another young big in the mix Zu would get limited minutes or maybe even none at all in a game like this
