The forward scored three Wizards baskets and assisted on the fourth in a run before Irving called a timeout with 7:35 in the third.<\/p>\n<p>Asked to elaborate on the seeming disconnect between the bench and the players, Irving pushed back against the question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisconnect? I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d he sn<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed. \u201cThis is basketball. It\u2019s pretty simple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Durant claimed not to have noticed the whole affair.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-megaphone\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=ADL2112581980&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t even see that,\u201d said Durant. \u201cBut Steve knows when to call timeouts. He knows what he\u2019s doing over there. We all trust him. He\u2019s only going to get more comfortable as time goes on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Durant and Irving were doing their own on-court coaching.<\/p>\n<p>Irving appeared to counsel Caris LeVert after his young teammate picked up a technical. And Durant pulled Joe Harris aside after a defensive breakdown and implored the small forward not to get caught over-helping him, something both have admitted the Nets have been guilty of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had my guy bottled up, and I [saw] somebody out the side of my eye just coming over trying to, I guess, just trying to give some resistance,\u201d said Durant. \u201cI told guys, if I\u2019ve got somebody inside the 3-point line and they pick their dribble up, there\u2019s no need for you to help. And Joe understood.\u201cAnd I also told him that he can guard, so you don\u2019t have to help so much on him. He can guard it one-on-one. I think we\u2019re all starting to understand each other even more. It\u2019s only going to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was a lot of coaching going on out on the court, with Nets players talking to one another. Irving saw a value in those teachable moments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s basketball. We should be able to communicate out there openly,\u201d said Irving. \u201cSo just want to make adjustments on the fly. Just got to continue to get better at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>LeVert had just six points on 3 of 13 shooting. He sat down the stretch in favor of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, who bounced back with 14 points on 4 of 5 shooting from deep.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Spencer Dinwiddie hasn\u2019t had surgery yet, but he posted a picture on Instagram of himself working out. Nash commented that the versatile guard\u2019s absence is underrated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s almost the forgotten guy in a sense when you throw him out there in the lineup, but he\u2019s about as well-rounded a player as we have along with Kevin and Ky,\u201d said Nash.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Nets\" class=\"wp-image-16865380 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Nets_Celtics_Basketball-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Nets_Celtics_Basketball-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Nets_Celtics_Basketball-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Nets_Celtics_Basketball-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Nets_Celtics_Basketball-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Nets coach Steve Nash<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe has great size. \u2026 He defends well for his position, he\u2019s one of our best athletes, and he can score, playmake, handle the ball and brings a lot to the table.
