What's the point of bringing in Shaq if Quins just gonna put Royce on Kyrie

 

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

quin could challenge this... or not

Yknow, Royce, Niang, and Jingles wouldn't be playing so much if Quin hadn't taken a chance with them early on in their Jazz tenure. I have no idea why he isn't doing the same thing with Shaq or Oni.

 

[Joncolton]

Refs are favoring the aggressive team in a big way - Royce just got a foul for slapping LaVert on the ball.

I don't have a crystal ball, so I have no idea how the night would have played out had we given Shaq a pretty heavy role in today's game, including the Kyrie assignment.

That having been said, putting Royce on Kyrie all game is an auto-loss.

 

[Hekate]

Good old *** beating. Necessary sometimes. It's not like this team lost after being up 3-1 in the playoffs. They gotta realize effort matters.

 

[campaignist]

an Oni sighting!

 

[KqWIN]

Oni in the game....Conley still on Kyrie. Sheeesh Quin

 

[Joncolton]

I said it from the beginning - trap game. NO KD - the Jazz expected to roll in and win - meanwhile the Nets had lost 4 out of their last 5 and are playing PLAYOFF intensity basketball. Jazz loss.

I'd bet they lose tomorrow too. Hard to get a good night's sleep after getting whooped like this.

TBF...Oni is still getting grilled by Levert lol

 

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

Oni already getting cooked.

Leaving any defender alone in an island with Irving is bad. This team just can't blitz or double effectively because poor awareness/lack of defenders elsewhere.

With Shaq may be Irving would miss 2 more and that's about it.

3 Oni defensive possessions and he's been BBQ chicken on all of them.

he also airmailed a corner three.

 

[KqWIN]

No starters in the 4th Quin. PLEASE

 

[footawn]

This is just sad

 

[Hekate]

I am pretty sure we are going to see more Oni from this game on. And if it means less Ingles, I am all for it.

 

[KqWIN]

he also airmailed a corner three.

As much as I am a believer in Oni, got to remember he was the probably like the 4th best player on our G-League team.

 

[Mission Accomplished]

Betcha Locke just going to say we were off. Lame that we are either on or off and that is how good we are going to be.
