Brooklyn aint beating us in the standings. They still don't have a cohesive offense or defense to do anything. Its gonna be ISO wins from Durant/Kyrie.

The need for a defender at the 4 with both Lowry and Herro in the starting lineup is so much of a need for this team. If it wasn’t for that Jovic could’ve legit been in competition for the starting spot next to Bam. Martin will be guarding the best perimeter player on the opposing teams

I think Duncan is gaining his confidence back.
Jovic showing REAL skills, and not just as a big.
G leaguers on fire!

I agree, say for example you had Dipo starting at the 2 next to Jimmy & Bam you could have Jovic at the 4.

Yea I was going to say it looks like he might’ve added 5 pounds or so

To me, that says we expect him to defend the 4 a little. Scary proposition, but it may be better than him trying to keep up with more nimble and athletic players.

Added strength should also help him fight off defenders on the screen. He also seems to be making a more conscious effort to get into the paint. We’ll see if that translates at all. It’s good just to see him make some shots and look like a version of Duncan we thought we were getting.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all. I have a feeling they’re going to put as much shooting as possible next to Bam and Jimmy this season so Strus and Duncan playing some 4 might be what we’re looking at

I mean with the amount of Guards and wings we have, there's just too many minutes available at the 4, and if your hitting them 3's why not.

He should be a part of Miami rotation right away, screw G league.

Yea I was going to say those but with Herro and Lowry making $30M I don’t see a change there. Maybe if we start slow or Lowry is hurt; Dipo subs in and the team is clicking with him out

good job sticking with it Bam

Bam leaving some points on the board tonight, should have about 10 minimum right now.

No. He needs reps. Let him get them.

I agree, Jovic is far ahead on skill versus other projects weve had, but he still needs another year of getting reps.

Goodness this team with KD would’ve been unreal. Please let the Nets be a complete **** show this season so we can revisit at the deadline
