Beer at Rust. That's a beeg 'un in the Association tonight. Beer is in second place to Miami, even in the loss column and having played two fewer games. This is one of the make-ups. With a win they move within one-half game of the "Heat." For Rust, man oh man. They sit eighth and are closer to tenth than seventh. Once NYC made a vaccine mandate exception for athletes and entertainers I though Rust would be rolling. They did roll all over Miami in a frightening demonstration of their capabilities. But after that Miami Massacre they lost at home to Chazz. Before the Miami game they lost at Memphis. And after the Chazz loss they barely got by worthless Deetroit. They're not playing defense, that's the issue with them. Deetroit shot 48.5% against them, Chazz only shot 42.8% but from range they drilled 53.1%, an amazing stat. Miami was terrible but the Grizz lit them up for 50% behind the arc. You can't let Deetroit shoot 48.5% against you and you can't let any team shoot 50%+ from three against you. I don't know what the problem is. Kyrie is a good defender, no? I think he is. Kevin is the Big but Kevin plays around the line a lot. I didn't expect them to struggle on either end of the court when Kyrie was back. Hell, they were a pre-season favorite to win a championship! I don't understand Brooklyn right now.
