So Collin Sexton just single destroyed The Nets last night in NBA making 42 POINTS, 5 of 3 points and 5 assists and I might say that he was untouchable last night as Nets really tried at some point to make everything to stop him but the guy was nowhere to be stopped.
Also a really nice comeback from Orlando as they were down 20 points at some points...congrats to them.

My parlay of 4.3x got ruined because of the Nets 
. It was only 1.2x on them . Should have expected it. Generally it never works out at the start, when you get a big 3 assembled. Look at Kobe, Nash, Howard as an example.

I bet there's a lot who added Nets -10.5 to their parlay and just lose everything.
But, those who made a parlay with player stats only might have a big win right now.
All player stats reached the roof with 2 OT's.
Generally meaning it happen in most of the teams that has a big 3?
I'm sorry but I don't seem see it with the Warriors (big 3), Cavaliers (big 3), Heat (big 3), and Celtics (big 3).
These teams are so consistent, they don's struggle, so the word generally does not really apply to these, maybe some teams, like the Nets.
I agree. Way different especially GSW. I'm sorry but I don't seem see it with the Warriors (big 3), Cavaliers (big 3), Heat (big 3), and Celtics (big 3).

They are a pure team and looking at stats back then, the heart of the team was really Draymond which is not an offensive player.
Kerr focused mostly on defense to avoid Curry being attacked a lot of time. Their championships proved it was a success.
Cleveland Cavaliers played a home game against Brooklyn Nets last night. It was an awesome game and Cavs managed to beat Nets after 2 overtimes (147-135). On Cavs side, Sexton got 42 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. C. Osman got 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. On Nets side, KD made a double-double (38 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists). Irving got 37 points. Harden made another triple-double (21 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists).

I think that bench players couldn't take an active involvement in the game because Durant and Irving made half of the total amount of shots. Sure, Kyrie had a good performance with 53 percent, but he doesn't like to share the ball with teammates at all.
Nets bench is crap, plain and simple, and everyone knows it and their starting five will simply have to play more due that, especially those three. Just look at the last night bench performance; four of them had 6-24 FG and a measly 10 points combined. What's even worse, two of their ex players (Allen and Prince ) that are now in Cleveland had really good game. They will have to do something about it, and will probably get a few more players before playoff.Defense is also an issue, since they allowed offensively weakest team at the moment to look against them like they are Clippers or Bucks. A lot of work ahead for Steve Nash, that's for sure.
Nets lost with 2 OTs. Playing with Kyrie in a high scoring game but still lost. This is tough and could be one of the good matches that we've seen so far.
I'm not expecting them to lose but at least they've shown a good game. Cavs still a team that's unpredictable or at least to say that teams are unpredictable even with mighty players.

Let us not make that loss a big deal, it's just one game and we know that Nets will bounce back. Because of that lose, we did not notice how good Durant was, man, he is back to his 100% and that is something to be happy, especially for the nets fans.

It's the game between the Nets and Cavaliers, not Miami.
Regarding the Nets big 3, they really played so well offensively like they usually do, but they lack depth, bench involvement to the game, and most specially the defense. They only got 10 bench points throughout this game.
Though I understand that the best offense could be a good defense too, like how the GSW was built before, but that doesn't always work.
Ok, let's give them enough time to gel together as a team. Regular season doesn't really matter as long as they'll secure a playoff spot. What's important is the playoffs.

I used to feel that the best defense is more offense until last night's game between Nets and Cavs. Nets had a lot of offensive fire power but lacked good defense. If I'm being honest, Cavaliers were afforded a lot of space whenever they're were attack which gave them opportunities to take well calculated shots.
The big 3 played an average of 49 minutes, while the bench only played a very limited minutes. I understand it's too long because of the OT but even if this game does not reach into OT, still the big 3 are playing a lot of minutes and that is very much prone to injury knowing Durant just came from a serious injury and Irving has been too prone to injury.

Steve Nash could also do with some squad rotation, you don't always need to field the big 3.
I'm sure there's a major adjustment next game.

Defense is really vital but I think they are not lacking of that area since there defensive guys are doing good in the floor, the main problem what I see to them is their chemistry since they have so many lapses especially on turnovers side. Harden didn't play his usual games since he facilitate Irving and Kyrie but if he contribute next time on offensive ends as well kyrie knows how to pass the ball on the open guys for sure they will win on their next game.

This is the first time Nets trio played together and despite their double overtime loss I think they looked good enough. They just need more time playing together and in play-offs they will be in better shape. They need to improve their defensive side.
On a note for Cavs, Sexton's career high was impressive. He's talented but I don't see any excitement in Cavs. Cavs will probably finish in mid tier places in play-offs. No chance to be a contender, no chance to tank and rebuild.

since they give up their center just to get another star player, they paid a lot for that spot, but now what they are lacking is the center position, I wonder DJ is not that more intimidating than before, defense on the perimeter are slopy, in my view that is not good having star players scoring at will, but forget about the defense on the other side giving the opponents 147 pts, surely other teams won't let it happen with a 3 superstar in the rosters.
Isn't it they still have DeAndre Jordan who is a pure center? Still intimidating to me, but it seems that they are just sloppy playing defence. On the other hand, Sexton really had a break out game, and then the Nets just get tired, their legs are not there in the second OT, they are flat so to speak. The big 3 combine though with almost 100 points. Nash and the team are still in the process of finding the right groove specially in defense as they allowed the Cavs 50% in the 3 point area.
First time Irving blend with the team, he scored 37 points but they still lose. I know people would react considering Cavaliers are not even a playoff team anymore. I hope there's no chemistry issue happening here, Harden is still in triple double but it's very uncharacteristic of him to only have limited shooting attempts. I don't know where they go wrong but if they keep losing, I guess there's already a problem on the chemistry.

He is expected to return against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which they are playing right now.
But Cavaliers has the lead, with 6 minutes left. And it seems that James Harden is unselfish and let Durant and Kyrie doing the scoring load, but Harden has 7 assists already.
They are closing in on Cavaliers, might be a cliff hanger, so let's see how things work out for the big 3. If they lost, then we might be hearing a lot of negative media on the big 3.
They've lost this game but it's fine since this is the first time these guys playing together as a team. maybe they just need some more games to fix their chemistry and as we can see the score is high on both teams so they were able to catch up with the Miami Heat they can't just beat them maybe because they are missing their shots in the 4th quarter so it ended up in two OTs. nevertheless, this game was fine and good for Miami to defeat such kind of a team, they are really one of the top contenders. If they can just get some straight wins there's some chance to get back in the top 8.
