Somehow, even when they went down 10 in the 3rd, and had been playing poorly,,,, somehow I was still at peace believing they were going to turn it up and take the game. Observations:
- DeMar said enough is enough, put the team on his shoulders. and took care of righting the ship. As always, the kid just keeps getting better
- During the Nets' run in the 3rd, I kept expecting Casey to call a timeout, but didn't until it got to looking real bad. I think there was a method to what appeared to be madness. Sure the turnaround looked bad, but I think he may have calculated on a rope-a-dope strategy. He didn't want to call a timeout and give THEM old legs a rest. It seemed to work, as that run, without any breaks given to them, gassed them.
- How great does 2Pat look as an addition to this team? The Raps have the right to a qualifying offer on him for next year, but I hope they can tie him up for a reasonable contract.
- Lowry continues to demonstrate that he is loving being a part of this team. As far as the "contract year" performance that some speak of fearing, don't forget that he was playing at a very high level, with all-star talk then as well, with Houston before that infection that de-railed him. That wasn't a contract year.

When he got traded to the Raps, people still talked about his all-star level of play:

In 32 games prior to the All Star break, he was averaging 15.6 PTs, 7.6 ASTs, 5.3 RBs, 37.5% from 3, on 5 attempts per game. Yes, there was talk all over the place that he was playing at an all-star level, whether you agree with that or not. Can't be bothered to bring up more, but here are a couple of links covering some chatter at the time:
