They'll cry about JB off night, well Harden has one too. We got that other MONSTER COMING.

Can't wait for Blake Griffin

Due to the Nets' magical time machine, that takes a player back to his form from 2-3 years earlier?

I would have to assume that shipped with Marks, because Prokhy / Razumov / King sure as hell didn't have one.

ahh feels so good to have ball back on. Great game, we played great team defense and good job by Kyrie and Harden for putting in the effort on defense along with the others. Kyrie went HAM on his old team and I know that was a big F*** YOu to them Saltic fans :lol:

he's going to drop 40 everytime we play them and I love it, they deserve it.

Shamet is doing his job and making those 3s. Harden is doing his regular, it's crazy how consistent he is with his stats and impact, even though he had 6 turnovers he still gets his when he wants to. Jeff Green almost had another highlight man that would of been awesome. I hope Griffin can do at least what Green does. Nobody is stopping us.

Sidenote: We now have a better record than the Lakers.

Could be huge if we get home court for the Finals.

Kyrie was magnificent. Put on a masterpiece for the Celtics fans to cry on

Not only that, but has consistently taken a giant dump on all the celtics best defenders. Smart got abused by him both games. Brown got abused by him. Tatum got torched.

Makes it even sweeter that Kemba was awful on both ends and finished with just 11 points.

Tell us again how Kyrie was a cancer, how his teammates hated him, and how Kemba is better

LOL

Anyone else catch Theis telling Kyrie he'd see him in Brooklyn next year after the game?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO, not gonna lie, Theis is a guy I've been wanting on this team for years. I love his game.

We stay healthy and get Nic and Blake into rotation... there's not one team that will stop us this year. We can freestyle them to death.

GTR11 · Post #168 » by **GTR11** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 6:31 am

I'm really exited to see Blake out there. There's a monster that been hungry for some time. Its going to get ugly for some.

Which one?

Ours is 3-17.

He is shook. Tatum and Brown know They are outmatched. they know first Hand Kyrie is unstoppable as a scorer.

Nice win. The narrative of your poor defense has been greatly overstated.

Shamet now shooting 37.4% from 3. He's really turned it around after a horrific start.

He was shooting 28.6% through his first 16 games, and then he was actually taken out of the rotation for a few games. Since coming back into the rotation though, he's shot 41.7% from 3, including tonight's game.

Between him and Harris and TJ and Green, it's pretty unfair to opposing defenses when he have the entire big 3 playing...who are all shooting over 40% from 3 themselves. Like, how do you even attempt to guard that?

Thanks. Yeah our defense has been about middle of the pack levels for awhile now, which isn't great but is just good enough to balance out with our offense.

I love when Kyrie was asked about how the Celtics players showed him love after the game, dude said "I guess that surprised a lot of people, huh?" :lol:

Boston fans probably get sick about that. Every single game too

NetsJets · Post #174 » by **NetsJets** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 2:14 pm

Kyrie makes it a point to ball out against the Celtics.

Dont get me wrong, weve had some legit awful performances. but our D is alot better then the rankings. we had alot of games were we give up 115 points but still win in a blowout. or were up 30 and the bench allows a 40 point 4th quarter in a game we still win.

We are probably about what we were last year. 8-12 range

This team is ridiculous man. We're up against a pretty damn good defensive team and they're doubling Harden/Kyrie - leaving Harris/Shamet or the other star OPEN for 3. Just desperate for anything to get us out of rhythm.

It's kind of funny seeing opposing fans after we play them. They're not even mad or hating - we just leave them feeling defeated :lol:

Yup. They are bashing us for our "terrible defense" and "awful bench" yet the celtics bench was like a combined -61 and we roasted their Defense like BBQ chicken. Their elite defender Smart got abused by Kyrie. Harden made Tatum look silly. We won 11 of the last 12 like it was nothing. Without KD this is the best team in the east and maybe the NBA, as we keep proving.

It is just funny to see their delusions early on when we all knew how it would end:

Maybe Kemba should cry again about how the team needs to play hard as Kyrie ethered him and Boston for 40 in his sleep.

Also, why ever double a scrub like Kemba? his 11 points on 12 shots is hurting no one. cant believe they thought that scrub could replace Kyrie

Fans Pre-Game: Nets dont scare me at all. Their D is awful. Harden will get exposed like Kyrie always does. Their bench is terrible too.

Fans in-game: Come on [Player X], how are you going to let Harden/Kyrie keep scoring? How are we not scoring on their trash D?! our bench sucks!!

Fans Post-game: Im not even bad... no one is beating the nets
