I’m glad the Nets called the dogs off in the 4th quarter.




....and Kyrie and the Beard didn’t play.

Or it coulda got real ugly.

The clear thing from watching a bit of this today is how much Finch has made KAT the focal point. Without KAT the team was completely lost.

It’s probably similar to how Denver relies on Jokic.

17 games left... We are approaching the time when KAT, DLo, Ant... And others to suddenly have general soreness to tank the rest of the season.

also shows how Dlo is totally incapable of stepping up and carrying the team when KAT's out. durant's on a minutes restriction - playing without his other two big guns - and he goes for 31 on 11 of 15 from the field in a 30 pt win. dlo (also on a PT restriction) scores 15 on poor shooting and contributes in hardly any other fashion other than his 4 TOs. the "truth" about Dlo is that he has a long way to go to be a legit star in the nba.

there was absolutely nothing good about today's game. tanking, if that's the way you want to go, is done best in 2 and 3 point losses - not 30 point blowouts against teams with half their squad out. this stinks in every possible way.

It’s not the day or the right time for someone to do this given the delay in this game...and I bet no one was all that fired up to play....but wouldn’t it have been cool if Durant was like I’m dropping 60 today just to do it because I’m an elite scoring assassin?

The Wolves couldn’t stop them at all. Durant often had some great D played on him by Haden, hand totally in his face on some shots. Durant just hit the shots - pure beautiful offense.

I know Harden is the best scorer in the NBA, but his game is pretty gross to watch and relies so much on fouls and traveling being called/not called. Durant on the other hand is unstoppable when he is on, and it is a thing of beauty to see. IMO - best in the game.

I don’t like that he went to GSW and then went to The Nets only if they had other stars and then recruited Harden. It does lessen his image and his “greatness”, but watching him just makes you realize how ridiculous he is.

GO WOLVES!! :thumbsup:

all good points. i'm, unlike others, a big durant fan simply because he's so effing good. and i like watching him work a LOT more than i do harden. but my point and my disgust over their performance is still valid. durant scored 31. that means that Nets NOT named harden, irving, aldridge and dinwiddie scored 96 points against us. we simply can't suck that bad against B squads.

If teams shoot their 3 well against the Wolves it’s an automatic win. I watched and Joe Harris and any shooter they had from deep was not missing and it was over. The Wolves without KAT offer nothing inside offensively and defensively......NOTHING.

Watching them play the Bucks right now and they make them look like the Detroit “Bad Boys”. Naz is big but weak, Jauncho and V8 are a farce and zero inside presence.

Rosas needed to address it in his first draft, he needed to address in his first deadline, he needed to address it in his first off-season and free agency, he needed to address it in his 2nd draft, he needed to address it in his 2nd deadline and now he will need to address it in his second off-season and free agency.

It’s embarrassing.

GO WOLVES!!
