Super important game here. Definitely a must-lose.

The Nets have been losing like absolute crazy lately, but in fairness they've had a rough schedule of late.

Still no Snell? And Drummond and Brown are back? Weird.

Reggie and Rose starting together didn't work in the last game. They're probably better suited with one starting and the other coming off the bench. Fit is abysmal.

I do take some comfort that the teams that we'll be competing with for lottery balls essentially universally have harder schedules than us to close out the season. The Bulls are a noteworthy exception.

I was a Svi doubter but he proved me wrong. He is a good player. I'm glad we got him.

The East is awful, and eventually our players will be health and playing for their next contract.

Irving has to be one of the most overrated players in the league, especially from casual fans

You're probably going to be correct.

We literally can't do anything right. Can't build a deep playoff team that is sustainable, nor any semblance of a rebuild.

But yeah, we got the 8th seed and are the Buck's practice squad again for this year? Yay?

Say that in the 4th so he gets hot again! :D

Loving what SVI is doing. I like seeing our young guys do well I just want them not to do well enough we win.

Lol Bruce telling Dre he needs to come up to guard Kyrie.

He's right, Ky is hot.

Sekou having his 5th straight bad game since the 24 pt Boston game.
Either hes not involved in the game plan, or the other teams have started to game plan and scout him with more intent

Besides Rose, Bruce is probably the best transition guy we have on the team. He is relentless when he has an open lane

Rose is too good. And we have too many vets that can get occasionally hot like this to properly rebuild. We're likely not going to trade anyone by the deadline at this point.

At the same time, even if we subtracted Rose, I think this young group is hungry enough to want every game like this even if we went the rebuild route.
