Why are you raging like a bull in a China shop. I was not referring to just Trae. I'm saying there are several players in this era that sit on that table. No be person be Harden? No be person be Ben Simmons?

Oga, I remember watching kobe airballing a jumper. Did anybody kill him, these days a young player does 1 simple mistake he is railroaded as if he killed somebody.
As for the Simmons, jkidd could not shoot at all until after at least 10-12 years in the league and he was fine.
That is why I will always respect the older IT, he always talks about the organic development of a player and how it takes time before a player becomes the finished product.
Trae right now is already has more tools in his bag than Tony Parker did all through his career and he is just in him 4th year.

The league has to address these "take fouls" teams are committing to stop transition buckets.

This is exactly what I am talking about Theis a defender helplessly keeps his hands up while defending but still gets called for a foul.

Omo. This celtics dey choke KD. 3 TOs in 5 minutes

You dare use B. Brown to bring the ball up against these Celtics.. You better rethink that decision. I love our energy and intensity to start this game.

Come on guy! We need to stop missing these free throws

The game is choppy and I am loving it

Wow...see the defence on K.D

Nets are still there. They have to cut down the TOs somehow and force more stops

How are the Celtics not up by ten with all those stops.

Hohenheim:

That's the only positive for the nets right now

Missed free throws and easy bunnies.

Horford being able to bring the ball up for us is very very important because it hastens transition bucket immediately after a rebound.

We are missing too many easy buckets

Roland17:
We are missing too many easy buckets

Too many

Okay ref, these calls are becoming ridiculous

COME ONE GUYS WHAT IS WITH THESE EASY MISSES

We will STIFFLE the life out of you!

Take the easy shot White, that pass to Smart was not smart.

Still tied. Phew... The nets need KD to start hitting buckets

The Celts dared KD to beat them with the midrange the whole of the first half . No plan B what so ever form KD. Let's see what he brings in the second half.

Wtf just happened

What are you talking about? Who is talking about missing shots? Anybody can miss shots! We are talking about not having counters to what the opposing defense is showing you.

Even after telling you I was speaking in generic terms you still chose to personalize it talking about IT. How is this relevant to anything? What have you seen from Ben Simmons and James Harden that tells you their game will change

Jason Kidd was not an elite shooter not that he didn't shoot at all so stop capping like internet no dey to easily debunk your claims

Imagine claiming Trae Young has more tools in his bag than Tony Parker. You people don't know more than spamming 3 pt shots. To una eye that is what constitutes tools. I'm sure you were one of those siding with James Harden that he had more bag than Giannis.
Just this statement alone makes me question your entire knowledge of the game

Just stay poised guys! JB doing it on both ends

They keep daring Smart to shoot and he is punishing them..

The Nets have started this their thing where only KD and Kyrie touch the ball on offense. When I do, you do.

Oga till Parker retired his jumper was suspect, his scoring ability was getting to the basket and that patented tear drop floater that he mastered from the paint. There is a reason he led the league in multiple years in points scored in the paint among guards.
Trae can already, score at the basket, he has a floater, he can shoot the 3 from anywhere, so tell me again what Tony had that he does not currently have.

Grandpa Al Horford is bullying Brooklyn in the paint. Their lack of size is shocking

steady986:

It was always a given, as soon as the opposing team starts building any sort of lead, the head honchos start trading iso ball.

We die here!

Alaye all you're mentioning is aesthetics. The numbers do not back a single thing you have said there.

Anybody that ever watched Prime Tony Parker knows he was a much harder guy to stop than Trae Young

He can shoot the 3 from anywhere yen yen yen but is he remotely effective at it? You people conflate shot spamming for a skillset. 31% from 3 na him you no wan make we hear word

Bruce brown really jinxed the Nets. Lol
He has to dunk that. Onto the second game, hopefully we learn from our mistakes
