Laugher. Raps had to play well for 5 minutes to win by 20, and they knew it. Turned it on in the 4th when they had to, and when they smelled blood as the Nets went cold for a couple minutes from three (bound to happen eventually). Bam, game over. Not much to glean from that one, everyone in autopilot and still were cruising offensively, just taking it easy in our own end. Keep racking up those wins during this stretch. 35 minutes a bit much for Lowry, but it's better than 40 I guess. Got JV and DD some rest (both with nice games and 24 and 29 minutes respectively).
A few plays that stood out. JV was scoring at will in the post early on. Ross had a silly dribble sequence ending in a pull up jumper that was a nice capper on that run to put the Nets out of it in the 4th. Nogueira grabbing an offensive board in the paint with no one around him and a wide open layup there to be had and choosing to pass it to the perimeter for a kind of open three is hilarious. Lowry and DD both had sequences where they missed a shot, the defence collapsed on JV to stop him from getting the board, and the shooter got their own with so much empty space at the top of the key. Lowry turned his into an oop for BeBe that looked like a three and was fun, DD followed his up by getting easy floaters in the lane. Oh, reminds me, there was a hand off between JV and DD that worked really well - JV slipped free right to the basket while the Nets doubled DD, easy layup. Except the Nets were so inept at doubling that DD split it easily and got a layup with JV standing right under the rim. How bad is your defence that a simple hand off play ends with the two players running it as the two closest to the basket with the ball in hand?
The Nets are hilariously bad, and will wander through this desert of hopelessness for a few years more at least as karma for beating the Raps in the playoffs.
