Spot-on report, Owen. I’m glad you verified my opinion of Barclays vs. MSG, even forgetting fandom, no contest, right?
Jordi deserves a lot of credit. He has those guys playing super hard.
DLo had a very good game. Hard to believe he mostly underachieves, I mean, is there much difference talent-wise between him and , say, Darius Garland?
I’m the exact opposite… a die hard FCPorto fan! 😉
Thank goodness! There are defeats, crushing defeats, and then there is what happened to Benfica yesterday.
Still not sure what the strangest thing about Barclays is. The lack of Jumbotron highlights is up there. At one point, KAT got called for a foul and he looked up to see the replay and he was just looking at himself looking for 15 seconds.
You couldn’t hear anyone’s voice during the in game interviews. It was sort of hilarious since it wasn’t that loud in the arena. The mics aren’t loud enough. I don’t know, maybe I was in a strange pocket of the arena.
Also, the only celebrities other than Sydney were Ben Stiller and Spike Lee, who aren’t Nets fans. Oh, and Jose Reyes.
I got Korean chicken for dinner. That was delicious.
My only other game note. It’s really striking how skinny some of these guys are compared to Towns. Claxton and. Clowney both are unbelievable toothpicks, just insanely light compared to KAT.
I love KAT as a player but I think I would not want his age 33-36 years on my books
That was incredible work, Owen.
It is good that we’re avoiding bad losses. If this team ever does put it together, all these ugly wins we’ve banked will be useful.
It’s getting hard to imagine this team has another gear, though. Maybe a simple Derrick Rose-like trade can unlock the next level. (I hope so, bc that’s about all we can do.)
Thanks Owen for the on-site review!
Brunson woke up in the last 2:18 after a disappointing game (he was in single-figure before).
There no doubt he’s clutch but at the same time I’m not sure I like that he took 4 shots in that span, hitting the first three and missing the fourth, basically without even trying to pass.
The only time he passed the ball out of a double team Josh served OG for an easy dunk.
I’m worried hero-ball could not work against stronger teams with better defenders.
KAT’s clearly bothered by the hand issue, he admitted it after the game, Mikal disappeared after a good start and he tends to do it a little too often.
But whatever, we’re 29-16, the only thing that matters is health and now we have 3 full days of rest before the Kings game.
On other news,
Danilo Gallinari surprisingly announced his next team, the Vaqueros de Bayamon of the Puerto Rican League.
Since last summer, while expecting an NBA call that never came, he rejected offers from many Euroleague’s and Italy’s clubs, choosing to chill in Miami (where he lives) with his family, not a bad choice when you’ve earned 200+ millions playing basketball, now he found a team close enough.
They could trade Bridges and/or Anunoby for better players. Tough to push through with that many minutes at key wing positions going to negative BPM players, one of them negative on both sides of the ball; luckily, they have a fantastic top 2, which covers up a lot of warts.
But that’s the key to the next tier.
