While we boasted about the Nets’ defense since Jacque Vaughn’s takeover, the Nets exploded last night in Sacramento: 153 points against for a 32-point loss!!! Admittedly, Kyrie Irving was still missing but it was not he who would have limited the damage as the collective was liquefied.
“Put…, we got slapped! » loose Ben Simmonswhich surpassed the 10-point mark. “They were better in defense and in attack. They played as a team. For four quarters. They just played better than us. They wanted more. So we didn’t want it… It’s unacceptable on our part. For players and coaches, this is unacceptable. »
What hurts the Nets is that the game was broadcast on the national network, and once again, the franchise does not grow out of it.
“We had great intentions” assures, however, Kevin Durant. “They put shots, and it’s demoralizing when you see a team put shots. It’s not like we haven’t tried. They were better than us. »
For Jacque Vaughn, whose defensive leg was praised, his players had their minds elsewhere. Maybe in Los Angeles after their meetings against the Clippers and the Lakers.
“I don’t know if our heads, bodies and souls are still in Los Angeles. It does that to you sometimes with LA. We clearly gave the maximum effort against the Clippers (Saturday) and since then we have been relapsed” regret Jacques Vaughn. “They should be congratulated. They kicked our ass. We are all concerned. Me too. We have one game left to play on this road trip.” How are we going to respond to it? »
Response Thursday, in Portland, on the floor of the leader of the Western Conference.
