I read today, some Association cogno said of the top five teams in the Eastern Conference, Steve Nash is the worst coach.
The "Cavaliers" made a game of this. They won every quarter but the fatal first and got the deficit down to 5 on a three-pointer with :18.5 left in the game. They were then forced to foul; KD made the first, missed the second but Rajon Ronda committed a lane violation π and Kevin got a do-over and made it. That was with :15.2 left. The "Cavs" got it down to 5 again with :10 left; fouled Kyrie of all people with :9.3 left, he made both and that was the final margin.
I don't know if it's Nash but something is not right on this "Nets" ball club. There's no way, just no way they should be in the play-in, and no way they should have just about given all of that 20-point lead up. No way they should have had to play KD and Kyrie 42 mins apiece to hang on. If it wasn't for Kyrie (34; 12/15 (3/6) 7/7 FT's) , they would have lost. That just should not be. If I was Boston, I would have no fear of this Brooklyn team.
Cleve's not done. They play the winner of the Chazz(9)-HotAtl(10) play-in on Friday. If they win that they're 8th and would face the "Heat."
