We are 7-18 when the opponent scores 116 or more points; 37-14 when we hold them to 115 or less points.

Brooklyn has scored 116 points in a game just 13 times this season, and only 4 times in the last 50 games.

There we go!! I'm a math teacher on Spring Break....so that's what I like!! STATS!!!

Looking at who is out for the Nets, I hope the Wolves put this team away. My biggest complaint about this team (and I'm sure everyone else's) is that they play down to the level of their opponents WAY too often and seem to lack the intensity that they had last year. If we lose tonight, it would be the most disappointing loss of the season...and this team has had more than it's fair share of very disappointing losses.

Maybe if Chris Finch takes tonight off our victory percentage goes up like 50 points?

Should I call a DLo 50 pt night now? No, just kidding. This is a bang up G League team that has nothing to play for except to get better odds in lottery.

BRK is two games behind PHI in the tank race, so it might be a tough gap to make up.

Still, I hope for a half-hearted effort from the Nets this game, but they might have no reason to lose when they play us eight days from now. That one is Game 81, in BRK, their final home game in front of their fans.

I get that, I was just trying to explain another reason why that second BRK game may be dangerous.

13.3% from 3s? My grandma shoots better than that and she is dead.

There’s a level of rage I have towards the Nets coach over this. He stepped behind Ant after his corner three for no apparent reason and Ant landed on his foot.

What? Off the coach? Ant should give him the "Conley to Finch" treatment.
