I think we probably win if Kyrie doesn't get ejected.

When we lose both Kyrie and Harden we have no one to run the offense leading to a tun of turnovers.

Still, no excuse for losing this badly.

It's hard to act like its the end of the world when we don't have either Kyrie or Harden and the Lakers are shooting like 60% from 3.


Weve had like 10 of "these losses" were awful teams short handed beat us in embarassing fashion


And yet we have the best record in the East.

Youre the only one here hitting the panic button :lol:


Of course we have the best record in the east. we have 3 top 10 players

The idea you think its over based on one game without Harden, Kyrie ejected and KD on a minutes restriction is a joke.

We are still the best team in the league.

One bad game literally proves nothing to me. I wouldn't panic if we lost the next 5.


Okay if you wish to remain optimistic, but I just dont see how can beat this Lakers team with their big three, if Drummond alone was enough to beat us by 20pts at home. Fortunately our own big three are still under contract next season, and if Nash can use this year's playoffs as learning experience and improve into an elite coach next year, we will have a good chance in 2022. Lakers will extend Shroder and wont be able to resign Drummond and Harrell, so their depth will be much worse next year. Problem is, KD and Harden will be one year older, while Embiid and Giannis are in their absolute peak.


Drummond went off because we foolishly kept Aldridge on him all game.

Claxton was doing 100x better. Even Jordan would have been a better option.

If you really think Drummond is going to overpower the scoring punch from KD/Kyrie/Harden you have lost it.

LMA made clear his limitations today. We have to learn from it and move on.


Why would i give him credit when we win? he has 0 to do with us winning and our stars need to play unbelievable to overcome his awful coaching eveyr night.

The 76ers play tonight and up big against the lowly OKC Thunder, they will take the #1 seed after tonight. Its over, we should prepare for next off-season, hopefully this year will help Nash and the coaching staff learn about playoffs, they have quite a lot to figure out before we make a push for next year's title run.


there is no "we". you are not a nets fan.

He is a lakers fan/lebron fan. look at his posts. 99% of them are "we cant beat the lakers" "how are we gonna get by LA" "the lakers now have a big 3 with drummond" "drummond is domnating"

Wait when do I need your approval to be a nets fan? I've been watching this team since 2002 when Kidd got here and they were still known as New Jersey Nets, were you even watching NBA then? And how about you bashing KD in that KD vs Rapoport thread? Thats what a nets fan is supposed to do?

You are not a nets fan. your a lakers fan and a troll. It could not be more obvious from your posts and you just randomly appearing this season. all you do is suck off the lakers.

you said drummond was good and part of a big 3

KD deserves to be bashed for his words. being a nets fan doesnt mean blindly loving everthing eveyrone on your team does.

I was a fan before kidd was even in the NBA.

Yeah I said Drummond was their big three, but I also said Lebron was nowhere close to MJ and the reason why I joined RealGM was because I disagree with RealGM voting Lebron as GOAT and I wanted to share my research about this GOAT debate. If you've read this thread I made, you'd never have come to such a stupid conclusion. Why would I be rooting for the Lakers? I want them to miss the playoffs.

No, your a troll and a laker fan. The idea drummond is part of a "big 3" is the worst comment anyone has made in realGM history. worse then josh hart > Dlo stuff

It isnt LMA's fault that Nash stars him and center and gives him the majority of the center minutes. He is a role player. not someone a championship team relies on.

Claxton has been nothing short of fantastic. no reason he shouldnt be starting. DJ also shouldnt be sitting when LMA has a bad matchup. IF drummond is on the floor and you arent feasting with your pick and roll bigs you are letting them off the hook

Being a nets fan doesnt mean blindly supporting all players actions on and off the floor.

Like when Kidd hit his wife, i didnt support that. When kidd dogged it and quit on the team with fake migraines i didnt support that. When kidd was drunk driving and wrapped his suv around a telephone pole i didnt support that.

I honestly thought you guys would kill us after the ejections. Yeah Kyrie got ejected aswell but i was sure KD would annihilate us.

Just one of those games where one team cant seem to miss from 3.

Like Harris in the first game looking like Ray Allen and Klay Thompson put in a blender.

We were not prepared for the physicality either. They killed us in the passing lanes and offensive rebounds.
