Jacque Vaughn when asked what Cam Thomas' top area of growth has been this season:
"You guys don't see Cam Thomas and I sitting down and watching film together on the road in my hotel room. You don't see him in my office before the game, showing clips of how he's boxing out, how
Are vets going to want to sign with the Nets after the way we treated Blake, LMA, Millsap, and James Johnson, who all took vets minimums to get benched, cut, or traded?
Kenny Atkinson "fired" day after winning 139-120
Steve Nash fired day after winning 116-109
This is why Jacque Vaughn refuses to win games, doesn't want to get fired the next day.
(joking...sort of)
Nets say screw it, no more doubling/trapping Luka, let's just put Nic Claxton on him.
On the first two possessions, Clax forces an airball and then punches a shot off the glass:
I basically watched a full game with Sean Marks standing next to me, and I'll tell you this. He is super excited about Mikal Bridges, I think it's safe to buy his jersey.
In interviews this week, Dinwiddie called Cam a Sixth man, Mikal called him a bench player. This mentality from players and coaches has to shift for the Nets to succeed. Cam is the best scorer and should be the
#1
option when the game is on the line.
Cam Johnson (left adductor tightness) is doubtful tonight vs. Dallas.
Lonnie Walker (hamstring) is OUT, as is Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle).
Jalen Wilson and Noah Clowney are not on the status report and will be available.
Cam Thomas improved his 3 point percentage from 27% to 38%. Remember, these weren't of the wide open catch and shoot variety. These were heavily contested and step backs. He might actually become one of the best 3 point shooters on the team.
A Nets rebuild doesn't mean tank. It means acquiring young players with talent and developing them. The current minutes distribution is not ideal for winning or development.
@NetsDaily
I promise ratings would go up if they let Cam Thomas average 30+ like in the beginning of the season. Those games were close and that team was fun to watch. Cam Thomas development sells hope, the other players are a stark reminder of a first round sixers sweep.
Well…it’s only the preseason. But Simmons, Claxton, and company did a fantastic job on Giannis tonight.
Good things are in motion Brooklyn Nets fans, here’s your proof.
Don't tell me Nets have no talent when the Raptors are purging their team and up 35 at half vs the Heat, who played like shit vs the Nets but still beat us. Coaching matters.
