Outside of MVP Russell, Kenny needs props for our offense. Our offense is flowing beautifully. It seems like the only way to slow us down is to switch everything. Forcing teams to do that without a superstar says a lot about our team. Constant movement, constant off ball action, multiple options per play. The right shots being emphasized.

Keeping a vet like Shabazz engaged even while he was getting DNPs on a losing team is classic Nets. He's been huge recently.

If we're firmly in playoff territory (6-7 seed), will the coaches/league feel any desire to put a Net on the all-star team? If so, DLo would probably be the only logical choice.

20 WINS, one game within .500.

For perspective, we didn't get our 20th win until February 26th last year.

Things have changed. Big time.


we only had 20 wins TOTAL Lins first year here. what a difference in just a couple seasons. went went from Lin, Whitehead, and a fresh off dleague dinwiddie to Russell/Levet/Dinwiddie all playing like borderline allstars with 20 wins by early january

No single person has to take over a game. It's all about team ball. Everyone is doing their job and staying in their lanes. No unnecessary drama or any bull.

Every game I've been able to catch this has been a huge part of the narrative. I can only imagine what bringing in another superstar will do to this team after this year! And I really hope Russell gets a deal that works for him and the team.

With all that said, I'm really going to temper my expectations on what we'll see tomorrow night in Boston. On the road and a B2B game... and in Boston. Usually it would be easy to predict a blowout, but this team has too much integrity to lay down in the first half and die tomorrow... so I'm hoping it's competitive and comes down to the 4th quarter.


i dont think it gets enough attention just how rare it is to have a team of guys who are all playing aggressive but at the same time super unselfish and play team ball.

Nets are running offensively at peak spurs level

This team is ready for the playoffs. This is the type of game that would give problems and possible let downs, but the team came out and had the right focus and effort throughout the night. we've talked about how deep this team is, and this game displayed that. From starters like Russell, Allen, Joe to vets like Davis, Dudley, and DMC to bench guys like Graham coming in after being out for awhile and contributing winning plays.

It's ridiculous that we still have Caris, Rondae, and Crabbe out.

Someone deserving of minutes will end up losing time just because of how deep this team is.

Same Bulls that took Indiana Pacers to 2OT.

Besides, it's about the mindset and how they played. These guys are locked in. Maybe they have one or two games where absolutely nothing is falling and we lose those games. Or run into another playoff team that gets hot.

But this team has clearly matured, and we might look back at that 8 game losing streak as a blessing in disguise.

I would be disappointed if we didn't see a good effort tonight, even in a road back-to back vs the Celtics. Not saying we'll beat them, of course.
