Not a good win but we won. We can't just make it easy on ourselves, always have to make it tougher than it should. But I'm happy we went 6-1 on this homestand, that's great considering how bad we were early in the season. For some reason we come out of half time flat every game. O'neale helped us with his hustle plays this game and Kyrie also came up huge with his hustle plays and rebounding for once. I can tell KD is fatiguing , he's really doing alot out there. Turnovers is a really big problem for us, if it isn't turnovers it's the rebounding. We can't just put 4 full quarters of domination. Hope we have enough energy for Pacers tomorrow, they're also on a back 2 back.

Had we not been trailing the season series vs Indy, I would say it's a give up game you leave KD and Simmons home for. Let them meet you in Washington on Monday. If you don't think Indy can sustain what they're doing, then it may still make sense to sit everyone.

Missed the game but the consensus from reading the thread seems to be it's a win but not a good win, just like most of our other games really.
We're obviously a fair ways away from where we need to be if we hope to contend. But a 6-1 homestand albeit against a weak schedule and 4th in the East, tell me that 2 weeks ago I'd have taken that anyday.

In ideal world, Kyrie and a team without KD, Ben and TJ should be enough. That's why system coach matters. That's why development coaches matter. Just look how our softmores drop their level of play after development coaches got kicked out.
Marks needs to balance things out. Eight now he is underperforming big time. This is my biggest hit on Marks, rest of the contenders don't have this issues.

KD and Ben for Collins, Bogdanovic, Hunter, Griffin, Culver, JHoliday
Cap
Johnson/Kong
KD
Murry
Trae
Bench: Ben, AHoliday, Kaminsky
Ben has the worst contract in the NBA and im guessing they want to package him with KD to get him off the books. Cap is not included in the package because i'm assuming Nets want to get expiring contracts back like Culver and Holiday.
Nets get three solid starters in Collins, Hunter and Bogs, a rookie in AJ, and a bunch of cap space.
Hawks have to eat Ben's contract but they get KD to go along with Trae and Murry.
Enjoy, this is a gem

Called out other troll clown from their board, that puss* scared to death.

Vaughn is going another 3 steps farther.

So what's the purpose of even watching this game?
I understand resting KD but this is ridiculous.
