I keep reading the same thing over and over about blake. This signing is simple. He didn’t cost the nets anything but 1.2 mill so if he can’t play then it’s no big deal, but if he can then it could be a huge deal.

Welcome to the nets blake. We are all rooting for you to do well,

Won't be good for us to keep playing Uncle Jeff at a high usage before playoffs...

We gonna ball!

Exactly. We all love Uncle Jeff, but he's no spring chicken. If we kept giving him the same minutes load until the end of the season, he could have been spent for the post season. Hopefully he's one of the guys Griffin can lessen the minutes load on now.

I'm excited to see what Blake's role will be here, regardless of his physical limitations.

I love this team Marks put together (with more to come), and I'm already missing the games like hell.

Thursday evening cannot get here fast enough!

CAN'T WAIT to see the team and our new toy (Blake). :)

They’re by themselves, outside, without anyone close to them.

Also, they clearly met up for some food and drinks. They probably had masks and then took them off to eat.

Today was in the 60s so most likely they were at an eatery w/ tables outside in Brooklyn. If they were indoors I'd panic :lol:

Looks like he’s playing tomorrow against Wizards. I’m pretty excited to see how he fits. This should be fun. :nod:

This. I personally think he’s washed up but the risk is minimal.

Wasn’t long ago he was first option now he’s probably 5th and that’s without Durant. Assists and some rolls is all we need. He’s going to help the flow. I bet he gets a dunk but I hope they don’t drug test him right after.

And that's exactly how long it took him to end the "Blake can't dunk anymore" meme. :nod:

Blake was much better on defense than I thought before, he only scored 2pts last night but its just his first game back on minutes restriction. He only took 2 shots anyway, lets see how this will go in the next few games.
