Fall to 15 games under 500 and now they are three and a half games behind the Atlanta Hawks who were not playing tonight but have a back to back starting tomorrow they play the Clippers and then it’s on to the Lakers for them at crypto.com Arena let’s check out the

Highlights from our game here tonight between the Nets want to win it 121 to 100 as we take a look at the Honda game summary seum with 28 and 11 that’s a hefty double double for him cam Thomas led the Nets with 22 that’ss are one and4 on their road trip and they

Gave up a franchise record 82 points in the paint in Indianapolis now we talked about the turnovers were a problem for Brooklyn tonight well that is our key stat of the game we’re going to take a look at how that was a detriment to Brooklyn’s Chiana doing a lot of damage

With the turnovers and the points in the paint as we just mentioned 82 points in the paint 30 points off those 20 Nets turnovers and uh that’s why the Brooklyn Nets are going going to San Antonio right now losers in Indianapolis 121 to 100 so Brooklyn has that back to back

They go down to San Antonio to take on Victor wanyama and the Spurs tomorrow and now we’re going to take a look at some key players from this matchup in our game tonight first Pascal cakam he was a major factor in this game 28 points shooting 11 of 22 from the field

He also added 11 rebounds including four offensive boards zakum has been a major contributor since being traded on January 17th from the Raptors he’s had at least 17 points in each of his last five games and has two or fewer turnovers in each of his last 17 games

Coming into this one against the Nets since the 1819 season he was averaging just over 21 points just under eight rebounds just over four and a half assists Tyrese hurn took a little bit for him to get cooking but he finishes with 14 four assists that’s well off his

Season total average of 11.4 that he came in with but still he was a force to be reckoned with in the second half take a look at the Brooklyn Nets tonight just not getting the job done Dennis schruder and Mel Bridges they combined to go five

For 21 from the field and just 20 points Bridges with just seven points didn’t have a field goal in the first half no field goals in the first half the last two games in fact for Bridges and one Trend worth watching as Bridges go so do the Nets over Brooklyn’s last

Seven losses Bridges is averaging just 13 points and is shooting under 30% from the field he scored 20 points or fewer in each loss and tonight was the first time this season that he made just one yeah I mean you get 82 points in the paint um 17 offensive rebounds and 21

Turnovers I mean that’s tough to beat a team like that like I said we gota pay perfect games to win and got to do all the small things you can’t turn the ball over um you can’t have 21 turnovers you got to protect your paint and then we

Play pretty good defense but then they just throw it off the backboard and they play stars there and we just got to hit we got to V back we got to keep people in front of us you know when we get beat one-onone Nick got to come help our

Guards got to V down we just got to do all the tough things and we got to do it over and over and over again so we did it first half basketball was beautiful I thought ball movement was great and then the second half we went into ISO

Basketball and that’s what we get when we go into ISO basketball we’re not good enough to do that when you see your team go into ISO basket basketball like that just you mentioned see any energy and effort but when you see that just what

Do you see as the issue as a group I mean you know it’s just you you got to trust your teammate you got to make the right plays you got to follow our game plan you got to continue to be diligent um can’t just do it all by yourself we

Need a team Collective effort to win games and you know those guys want to win they want to win and they think they want to do it you know by themselves sometimes and they they they got a pride to win I I’m not questioning that winning it’s just the way we’re trying

To do it um we’ve seen the method what makes us win and we have to continue that and it got to come from our come from our best players and they got trickle down to the whole team and everybody got to be on that game plan um

We know what works um you know at the end of the day a little bit of a chicken or the egg question but I mean do they need to see the results before they have the kind of trust in each other and playing with each other or do they need

To form that trust before they can get some of those consistently I mean what I mean we’ve seen it we seen it in Cleveland I mean we’ve seen it in different games we’ve seen it in both Atlanta games I don’t know I mean chicken and egg I don’t I don’t you’ve

Seen it before so how can we be more consistent with that and we seen the other results when we do it that way um where we turning the ball over we’re not taking carry of the ball when we’re not getting offensive we’re not getting defensive rebounds so like I keep saying

I imagine the error is very short it’s very limited and we got to play the right way we got to play the right way of basketball we’re not making no tradeit it’s the team that we got um I have to continue to coach them and continue to demand and and and play the

Guys that that’s going to go out there and play the right basketball but you know all of us got to do it collectively and we got to keep our enthusiasm got to keep our energy and the big thing is figuring the thing out and you know we

Get another shot tomorrow to try to go figure it out and that’s the process I’m going to keep having I’m going to be positive I’m going to continue to assert my energy to these guys I’m going to continue to have them try to be focused

And we got to follow the game plan I mean our way of winning there’s no other way so they’ve seen it I think I mean I hope y’all seen it I mean I’m telling you this is the recipe I mean we’ve seen us when we play together we play as a

Group us going out there playing Five connected what can happen we can beat any team in this league I truly believe that but it has to be our best game and tonight wasn’t our best game we played for a half now half was good but it has

To be 48 minutes it can’t be one half is it more frustrating because that first half was so efficient in terms of keeping halber in the check keeping them off the three-point line but that third quarter just kind of nullified it that make it more frustrating um I wouldn’t

Say frustrating it’s a challenge um but in a challenge is a championship opportunity for us to get better tomorrow um you know it’s a challenge you know when we when we play in the first half and then we come out the second half and have a different mindset

It is a challenge but we going to keep demanding as a coaching staff we going to keep U trying to figure out what’s the right matchups and what’s the right group out there that can play the right way and share the basketball and then collectively play defense but you can’t

Give up 82 points in the in the paint you can’t you know um give up those points and we’re not the biggest team but you can’t measure heart though we’re not we’re not these big teams y’all see it I mean I’m not I’m not blind you know physically but you can’t measure the

Heart and we got to have heart we got to have toughness because we’re not the biggest team we don’t have these big seven Footers you know I had to go small today you know but you can’t measure the heart and that’s never a mismatch never a mismatch for me and hopefully it’s not

A mismatch for the team mention the what ways when this as team was not able to make the three this ways were they able to continue to kind of capitalize that area one-on-one defense peeling plays they peel in action they get to turn the corner um help steps up

Um offensive rebounds I mean y’all know the game I mean I can go through all the different things but it’s one-on-one defense guarding your yard protecting the paint um loading up you know keeping the guy in front of you first and foremost and then you can’t have 20

Turnovers Megan I mean that’s giving up transition points you know they can’t can’t do that either so y you know you know what’s what’s the cause of it when uh what did you see from Mel and was it was shot profile what he want and he just missed him

Or um he not getting the looks I mean he was one for eight I mean he had some good looks I thought um got to convert him um you know ran some plays for him you know you just got to convert them you got to be aggressive

But you got to be aggressive in the right way you know you can’t be aggressive and you know just taking shots that’s unexpected you know so you know I got to do a better job teammate got to do a better job he ought to do a better job um you know creating for

Others I thought he made a great pass when believe someone got a corner three I forget who got a corner three those are things he got to do once it loosen up he got to go um you know he had play with energy all of our guys the ball

Finds Energy play with energy get some steals get some offensive rebounds get some defensive rebounds push and transition all those different things he can do um to be better and we got to be better for him and you know he can’t hang his head either you know I’m not

Taking him out if he makes a mistake um he’s able to play through his mistakes and he got to understand that this is a good test for him you know I’m not taking him out of every mistake though this is a opportunity for him to grow as

Well in this midst of this whatever it looks like it’s it’s a dark time it’s actually light at the end of the tunnel because he’s able to play mistakes he’s able to learn and hopefully he can carry that over to the next game and then further on in his career
