Anyway, I guess it's time to temper expectations for the playoffs. We might not be good enough.

I'm out. We can clearly see who is poised for the playoffs and who is plain dogging it.

The starters can't get a stop at all.
And it's worth noting that the bench did that against Bucks starters. The bench played well and if it wasn't for Shamet being trash, this game might have turned out very differently right now.

Middleton is underrated. Guy is a scoring machine. We are not grounded offensively and unfortunately it’s due to not playing together for so long.

Harden was getting Bruce Brown, Claxton, Harris and co open looks. They were thriving I feel the Nets need to get them involved more.

Durant has cost us this game in my view. Awful 2nd half and 4th Q.

Missed two good looks right now to cut it to 2.

KD with two bad misses. Harris was wide open.

KD has been horribly unclutch for us.

Were not coming back man. We had our chances. No focus in the 4th Q.

Irving is the only reason the Nets didn't get blown out tonight.

This team is an embarrassment right now. Nash with zero adjustments and watches the team get lit up 16-0.

WHY ARE WE FOULING? Nash is the jester of this game. I'm sorry.

My concern is if Harden is not 100 percent we are not getting past this team.

Nash's mistakes were covered up by Harden. Ever since he has been out we have been terrible.

3 losses in a row and 2 big losses versus a team we might play in the playoffs.

If you are confident in this team after this 2 game set, God bless you. The Nets got smacked in 8 straight quarters.

I mean its just incredible how an NBA head coach can watch a 16-0 in the middle of the 4th quarter happen and decide that everything is ok. Like WTF? I can let it slide a bit in any other quarter, but that's inexcusable from him.
