Brooklyn Nets managed to lose by 11 points against one of the worst teams in the NBA and the franchise’s new coach spares no criticism
Lose to the Charlotte Hornets after the last trade deadline it was not a big surprise for both teams, but the new coach of Brooklyn Nets he was not at all satisfied with what he saw in the 110-99 defeat. After the game, Kevin Ollie destroyed his cast. For the commander, there was not enough effort from the players.
“I haven’t seen the bids yet, but my eyes don’t lie. I don’t remember us competing for a single ball, so I really don’t remember. When the shots didn’t fall, we didn’t come back in transition. We just need to decide, but no. When the baskets happen, that’s fine. But when not, you need to do those little things. I tell them it’s not because we’re not capable, it’s because we’re not doing the little things to win.”shot.
“We can’t get down on each other, we can’t point fingers, we can’t be split & disjointed” – Kevin Ollie post game
Clearly The losing had an affect on the locker room, that players were blaming each other. Hopefully this is the start of turning things around for the #Netsworldpic.twitter.com/zFjT2ypOUH

The Hornets won four consecutive games and were flirting with the chance to secure a play-in spot. But, they ended up losing seven of the next eight. However, he received the Nets trying to avoid another defeat and was successful. Ollie saw the New York franchise apathetic and lacking strength against one of the worst campaigns of the current season in the NBA. For the coach, the first blame goes to the defense on the perimeter.
“In training, the game plans are to contain dribbling, but we cannot let the opponent cross our perimeter so many times in a row. There is no defense that can stop this. We can train as much as possible, but with so many penetrations in the paint and depending on Nic Claxton to block shots? He’s not Superman. We need more effort, holding the guy in front of us. But when you lose there, you need help and that causes a domino effect. There are free three-pointers, uncontested offensive rebounds. So we need to do a better job.”detonated.
