A tale of two halves........
I thought the fist period went well and then we went cold and they red hot. BOth teams scored 50pts in second half.
Game was lost in the 2nd period when Nets went from 10 down to 10 up.
Anyone watch the game?
Melo was great first period but could not hit his shot or finish strong. LIn was trying too hard to work him in.
I thought not having SHump to help Lin hurt. We played good defense at times. The nets worked hard and got the 3 going.
I do like the trapping defense. Nets handled pretty well. We had a few moments in the 4th were we were forcing them but could not come up with the ball.
This game was not as bad as most are saying it was. You had to see it.
Why we lost:
1: We attacked the basket in the second half and did not convert our FT's.
2: We could not hit our mid range shots.
3: Nets executed their game. Our defense was good but they took what we gave them.
Team has no practice time and this is what we have done.
Lost Amare and Melo and inserted a new top 5 point guard (he playing like one!)
Reintroduced Amare and team is doing ok with him. Team is riding a high of LInsanity but now has to reintroduce Melo, and insert top talent JR and Baron.
JR looked brain dead to me and Baron was rusty. Melo was rusty.
Rust never sleeps.
