The Nets are the experts. I expect coaches, front office, trainers etc. to know better than us.
My issue is no matter how low it gets, these decisions bring fans down with them. Whether it’s poor coaching or coddling young players, it isn’t fun and it isn’t leading to wins.

Os dois melhores jovens da franquia hoje são 2 armadores de 20 anos, Nolan Traoré e Mikel Brown Jr.
A gente não pode usá-los juntos nem que seja por 5 minutos? Vai ser todo jogo os dois limitados a uns 24 minutos?
Nenhum deles é horrível na defesa, os dois já mostraram que podem jogar sem a bola, vamos tentar.

This should be a fireable offense. Benching Nolan Traore in the 4th after the way he played tonight is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen a coach do this season.
Jordi Fernandez on Nolan Traore playing zero fourth-quarter minutes tonight:
"Mikel had those five straight points, and I just let him roll. Because you cannot just keep taking them in and out. I think that when I was about to sub Nolan in, Mikel made two or three threes and a mid-range pull-up. So I thought that was the right thing to do. Was it right? I don't know. Obviously, Nolan did very well. They scored 18 and 19. So that's a very good contribution from your two point guards."
ok #NetsWorld i invite you to join me in my “play joshua jefferson and grant nelson over clowney and mo” agenda

It’s really frustrating to see that there is stuff here that can give us the season that we are looking for as fans, but right now Jordi and Marks are too busy playing “I’m smarter than everyone” #NetsWorld

Can’t play Mikel and Nolan together because they are both “point guards” meanwhile:
1. Chaney, an undersized center, has been a starting SG for the bulk of the season
2. Wolf, a 7 foot big, started at SG TONIGHT
3. Nets brass preaches “positionless hoops”
🤔🤔🤔

#NetsWorld Coach Jordi is going to have to buy into Nolan & MBJ playing together, a lot. Having both around 24 minutes per game is stupid.

Nolan Traore had 19 points on 8/10 shooting and did not play in the 4th quarter. Mikel Brown Jr. had it going, so Jordi opted to roll with him.
Clearly Jordi doesn't want to play those two together. There are defensive concerns, but Nolan seeing zero 4Q minutes is a tough sell, given how he's playing.

This game is 100% Jordi’s fault. He played Mikel with a bunch of bums up until the 4th. Nolan was elite and didn’t see the court in the 4th. Clowney played 21 minutes, including tons of clutch minutes, and YET AGAIN, he was a massive negative. Jordi has some explaining to do…
