second straight night a team up 5 with under 15 seconds left ended up losing

For those who missed it

Can Shumpert help the Nets on defense enough to matter?

 

[CitySushi]

I don’t get the Barkley comparisons honestly, not on the court.

Barkley is an all time great. Massive difference game wise between him and Draymond. But on court attitude is extremely similar

Nope. One player can't change it. Defense is a mindset. Need to change their mindset or get at least 3 more players who care about defense on the roster.

Also, if you were committed to playing good defense then you don't need many good individual defenders. You just need to play defense as a group well

I guarantee you those guys think they can just turn it on when they need to.

The Nets shot 52% from 3 and the Wiz shot 30%. No way should the Nets lose that game.

Charles Barkley 2.0

Charles could carry a team though

 

[bksballer89]

I agree

Jeff Green is not a big no matter how hard teams try to make him one. -19 while DeAndre was a plus 14.

thats the reason the CAvs lost-- they hit 4 3's....Twolves hit 16.

Cavs have had a nice start to the season but they are too young and still have a long way to go. I just hope the Knicks, Raptors, and Heat and probably ORlando get their shit together and pass them in the standings.

Cavs will lose Drummond too who has kind of been a faux life preserver.

Cavs have a good core of young guys- but they still need a ton of help on the wing, some 3 pt shooting, and plenty of time to develop the young guys. Sexton and Garland turned 22 and 21 this monthn. Okoro just turned 20.

They need this season to be about development- and not about going for a playoff spot and overachieving.

If the Celtics gave the CAvs their first rounder id trade him tonight. They dont need him getting them an extra 6-7 wins this season.

They need to develop Garland, Sexton, Allen, Okoro, Windler etc.....

plus see what they have in Prince- guy is only 26 and could be a nice 3 and D wing.

143-141 Brooklyn up on Washington.

This team doesn't even try to play defense

Nets scored 146 in a 48 minute game and lost LOL

 

[msgkings322]

Is there a coach on the Nets staff who take defense seriously? It clearly isn't Nash or Dantoni

Gee did any of us talk about this yet?

The Cavs need to move some of those young players so they can start winning games now. The problem with having all young guys is that you can never win with all young guys and then those guys get frustrated and leave when their contracts free up.

Not sure what market is for Garland or Sexton but hard to imagine the Cavs ever contending for a title with both of those guys on the roster.

 

[trojanfan12]

like the Lakers GM having compromising pictures of the Wizards GM. lol.

I'm sure Lebron and Rich Paul have people looking into that as we speak. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

I don't think anyone is comparing Draymond to Charles anywhere but the mouth.

 

[trojanfan12]

I think we all pretty much predicted that.

When you have a coach who has never cared about defense as the major assistant to the head coach who used to play for the coach who doesn't care about defense, you give them a bunch of players that don't care about defense and you have them running the system of the coach who doesn't care about defense...this what you're gonna get. lol

Sixers come back from down 19 on the road without Embiid to win by 9. What a statement game for the Sixers.

2-3 zone had me like :
