NETS TRIUMPH IN BATTLE OF THE VETERANS

Nets beat Bulls in battle of veterans, Brook Lopez vs Dwyane Wade
The story for this years bulls was clear. Dwyane wade or go home, and this was definitely the case this game, Wade was amazing for chicago in the first quarter, dishing the ball around and finishing on a bunch of one-on-one's.

The second and third quarter were definitely more of a struggle, Dwyane played less minutes and the rookies kept missing their shots or turning it over, granting the Nets a huge lead going into the fourth quarter. Mirotic and lopez the only two players keeping them remotely close with good defense from robin on one hand and raining threes from nikola on the other.

Then the fourth quarter came, Dwyane was possesed to win this game for the bulls, coming up with 3 steals and 12 points in the quarter, he wasnt alone though. Zach LaVine and Frank helped him. Hitting their shots and driving and dishing. Unfortunatly it wasnt enough as the bulls fall 126-114 to the Brooklyn Nets.

Review
As the text said, dwyane is our only hope of winning games. the young players are too inconsistent, Robin isnt a great scorer anyway, and we get absolutely no production off the bench, which at some point might trigger me to move either Zach or Dwyane to the bench. Frank in his first game was great though, to recap his strengths, hes definitely a comboguard, with his 6'5'' body and 7'0''? wingspan he can defend positions 1-4 (Even though he lacks the strength for defending 3-4) he can play offball and onball, has a good jumper and is a good playmaker too. hes basicly decent at everything right now, and has the potential to be something great for us.
