Dimwiddie had the block but was afraid to foul.. lol

 

 

And. I think Trae shot it from his elbow to avoid it, no? Or am I giving Trae too much credit?

Great shot by Trae. Managed to salvage an otherwise terrible game. Kudos.

 

It didn't need to be this hard, though. 

 

34 pts - 8 asst . . . on 12 - 26 FG shooting.

Trae has raised the bar so high, that All-Star level performances are seen as "terrible" by some in the fan base.

Bey was terrible tonight

[NBASupes]

Happy to get the dub. We gotta close out better.

Did you really like what you saw from him today? To each their own, I guess. 

[NBASupes]

Brooklyn is not an easy team to beat.

At least Prunty had to good sense to NOT have Trae take the ball out, lololololol 

 

That's the first thing I noticed.  Murray was probably shocked that he was taking the ball out.

It paid, though. Bey was hot from 3.

No he wasn't. He was 1-5 for most of the game.

[terrell]

Bogi had a +28.. Damn..

[gurpilo]

He was lucky on that shot, Dwindiddie had the block and failed.

the point here is playing like this we need to be lucky to win close games, we need to move the ball and use the offensive weapons we have to create space with the defender

2 - 3 is not hot from 3.  He was 2 - 6 overall.  He was +13 for the game, so his presence on the floor didn't hurt us.

Yes, I like 34 points and 8 assists from my starting PG. 

[LucastheThird]

Great win, but I'm seriously concerned that we can't keep our large leads. This game should have been an easy blowout. 

[marco102]

A good solid win.  Brooklyn is a better defensive team.  Our guards carried us today. 

 

[JayBirdHawk]

Dare I say, if this was a Nate coached team we probably loose. CC would have been back in the game. Prunty was mixing up the lineups.

If you only look at the stat sheet, it will look really nice. We has great on paper but he almost single-handedly lost us the game. 

 

But yeah, that last shot has as clutch as they come.

[benhillboy]

Masterful final play.  When he didn’t rush I knew he was gonna score but the shot fake and adjustment was special.

Brooklyn isn't a terrible team. They'll probably still end up in the Play In when it's all said and done.

Coming from one of Nate's most consistent defenders, that's some compelling stuff, right there.
