D, and hope your role players hit their 3s. We have neither, except for finally some good D at end of half, and KD getting his 3 strokes.
Just as what I said earlier. We started with bad D, giving their hot hands Aldama etc. open looks due to bad rotation, dug too much a hole. When we closed in in the 4th with only 3 pts behind, we couldn't nail enough 3s with open looks. At least we didn't let JJJ abuse us again like last time. Bol can be a good rotation player if he improves his court particularly def. awareness

A lot closer than I was expecting, and overall there's a lot of positive takeaways. But, all of it was undone by poor defensive rebounding and inability to make timely 3s. When going small, you kind of expect a few offensive rebounds given up from the size mismatches but the hope is that the speed helps disrupt some of the of opposing team offensive sets and that you get 3s and transition buckets as a result. Unfortunately team just couldn't hit those 3s.

Nash understands defensive concepts, and was decent as it pertained to team defense. He was just a bad individual defender with his lack of speed and size. I don't think he wants to coach though.

Did everyone forget KD demanded Nash be fired as coach of the Nets? I doubt Nash wants to deal with KD again.

Let's do push this envelope and see what Bol Bol can do as a starter.

Imagine if there was a PF with real talent. Bol² is better than nothing but I wish this happened a month back to highlight how bad this team needs a PF.
