The Nets set a record for the highest effective field goal percentage in a playoff loss during Saturday’s Game 1 at Philadelphia with a scorching 65%. Brooklyn shot 55.7% from the floor overall, including 44.8% on three-pointers. The offense suffered from 20 turnovers, but that wasn’t the only stat that perturbed Nets Head Coach Jacque Vaughn after the 121-101 defeat. You see, the Nets attempted only 29 3s, which wasn’t good enough. According to Vaughn, the magic three-point number was at least 40.
After a good first half the second was a stinker to be sure. Dinwiddie holding the ball way too long and with everyone standing around waiting and waiting ....he or another PG needs to make better and quicker decisions.
That said to me the Nets looked tired the second half.....a clear indication is the 'shots not falling'. They also looked tired the second half of the first game. JV could expand the bench and literally use more players who before the trade had credible playing time ....Yuta, Mills, CT, Sharpe etc . Bring in fresh legs and more energy to be able to play viable 4 quarters of efficient bb with more ball movement.
