They always out execute us down the stretch. In games when wade is awful he can still single handedly beat us in the 4th. He's so good. VC always struggles in 4th against Wade.
he did better than YI anyway good game by the nets , played their hearts out and Brook is the real deal... btw, Lopez is better than Kristic
Nets only have themselves to blame for this loss. They had myriads of opportunities to put take the lead but executed poorly: Carter fumbling the ball out of bounds, Harris with that terrible pass to half court, etc. They were also getting out-hustled on the boards. There were crucial times when the Nets missed a rebound and the Heat capitalized off their folly.
Not to take away from Lopez, but those stats were put up against an undersized Miami frontcourt. He did his job exploiting them though.
I agree, Nets were so sloppy. Also, that small ball line up turns the nets to a 1 on 1 iso team with all shooters. That zone defense was just dumb. Frank out smarted himself tonight. Why does he panic with weird line ups? Don't experiment with the game on the line.
Agreed...The Nets blew it, tons of turnovers, too many points in the paint,im not counting wade going off, we stunk inside with the exception of lopez. We had no one to help with the interior def. and the heat just got second chance after second chance. Yi? If he didnt have a string of like 3 straight turnovers i wouldnt have known he was playing tonight. Carter, played poorly. Frank, bad coaching, having your center try and trap one of the best gurads in the league down the stretch at half court trapping is NEVER a good idea. Small line-up failed in the last few minutes. Harris, not a great game, but not the worst. Anderson did alot of good little things, good perimeter def. He needs to hit his 3's Brook, AWSOME, couldnt ask for more....Those fouls at the end not completely his fault, again, centers trapping at the 3 point line? really Frank? Hassel, very good game, hit his shot...played good Def. even though the box score wouldnt show it. Contested everything, Wade was just...well Wade. I'll say it again...We need a real powerforward. Doesnt have to be Amare, just has to be someone who plays tough Def., Rebounds, and can hit an Occasional shot. (Millsap esq.)
Care to back this up? Wow, Brook Lopez Tim Duncan-like? He was impressive, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Next thing we know we might be talking about how Swat is Amare-like
Great way to change the subject to make up for your lack of an argument. Glad you like my signature though!
I missed parts of the 2nd and 3rd quarter when it seems the Heat were able to get a lead. But starting of 2nd quarter what is Frank thinking putting Boone on Beasley and in the 4th why is Hassell still guarding Wade? Try Dooling on Wade. We already know Wade can leave Hassell in his dust. Against Toronto he leaves Yi to guard Bosh. It's so irritating watching the bad match ups getting exploited and Frank not changing things. The Nets just looked lost several times this game. Didn't know when to help or when to switch. Other than that Brook seemed to play well with the exception of that late foul. And man was that TERRIBLE call bailing out Wade with the shot clock about to expire. Wade steps on Brooks foot and falls down out of control. Foul on Nets. What a joke.
You have to expect those superstar calls. Yeah, it sucks but it's very much a part of the game. Besides, if the Nets didn't allow that offensive rebound that would have never occurred.
