The Nets are now number 4 in the East. Just like that. Another example of a strong 2nd unit that beat the Pacers yesterday without Kyrie, KD, and Ben.
That's an impressive performance for the 2nd unit of Nets. They are really proving that they are competitive and they did it in a surprising way, teamwork and trust each other.
It's good to see a team who wins without relying on their superstars, as you mentioned your
what if, for the Lakers, getting that point, they should play the system together and start
doing it as early as now. They are all pro and deserve to play with decent minutes.
Easier said than done because the Lakers are really struggling in that part, some of their days, they are at their best and some of it, they are at their worst. No consistency that is why they still failed to work their team up on the ladder, with no superstars like Lebron or AD onboard in any given game, it's expected that the Lakers will crumble.
No matter how hard AD or LeBron carry the team, they still won't reach that far if the rest won't be on their best because when the league gets more intense, they will left behind against a well synchronized team. I'm afraid it will happen to them what happened last season if they won't pull themselves together to improve.
it's sad how they are having a bad performance, they lost against the boston celtics in a game they only managed to win in the second period, in the remaining periods they lost, and realized that they didn't have many chances to reverse the result, in the first period they lost by a difference of 11 points, but until the third period they managed to win by a difference of 9 points, but strangely that in the fourth period they dropped a lot in performance to the point of losing by a difference of 6 points, they are very inconsistent , that way they are hitting rock bottom every game
Celtics vs Lakers is game of the year so far in this fresh NBA season. Can we all agree on this ? Also , Tatum seems to be in beast mode lately and he said in interview after game that he felt like he is the best player in the court last night and I must agree with him as Tatum , like it or not , he is evolving in such a rapid pace that we might assist greatness from him this year and incoming years as well.
Besides this , dude still have room to grow in height, right ?This year only he got some height during the break or it was last year ? I don't remember exactly when but I know for sure Tatum is evolving very fast in all aspects, including gaining height at his age...
as a lakers fan i feel sad for the defeat, unfortunately celtic beat us and i must admit that they played very well, and that Jayson Tatum was a big obstacle for the lakers, the guy plays very well, the cameras were focused on him, it looked like it was Jayson Tatum vs all lakers players, I saw the summary of the game, honestly it looked like this Jayson Tatum was the flash on the field, I must admit that the talent must be above average, the guy was fundamental for the victory of celtics
