If the BIG 3 are all back for the Lakers, we're gonna LOWER THE BOOM on L.A. without AD

This Brooklyn Nets team is a Juggernaut, and you can see they have "team chemistry" now.

Hes clearly much better than Tlc or Shamet and prolly a real twoway playoff rotation guard

I think it was covid recovery.

He was out for 2+weeks in covid protocols and when he finally came back looked disastrous in limited mins.

We were clamoring for Nash to play him earlier but he wasn't ready.

Looks like he found his legs/rhythm now and he looks like a legit contributor. 8-)

One of the greatest backstage promo botches ever. Booker T's immediate "I :censored: up" moment of regret is the icing on the cake.

:lol: Top 10 wrestling moment of all time. Booker T is one of the GOATs

The fact that Stevie Ray kept a straight face during that is amazing. I would have bust out laughing and ruined the entire take

Honestly that 3rd quarter was all thanks to TJ being a flamethrower and Deandre for the whole quarter just was excellent. Like amazing paint protection. Got out us out in the break and early offense. By the fourth we were in an offensive flow and the team did pull out a small ball defensive stretch of like three possessions

Tyler Johnson is looking like a legit 3 & D guy and Shamet is back to being himself.

We need those guys on the bench. Could do without TLC to be honest.

This is the funniest apart about this. I feel like the Nets have been stumbling and bumbling and somehow we're literally knocking at the Sixers' door :lol: :lol: :lol: the rest of the league should be embarrassed

True dat.

Can you imagine where they would be if the BIG 3 played every game together except for a coaches decision to give certain players a night off, but that aside they were healthy and playing every game together?

They would not only be 1st in the East. IMO they would be 1st in the NBA, East and West.

I love listening to the BIG 3 in the post game press conferences because they all have extremely high basketball IQ's, almost like A-list coaches, and none of them are introverts, at least not when it comes to talking about basketball. In that respect all of them are extroverts and they always have interesting and enlightening things to say. That James Harden press conference tonight was a perfect example.

Dude, I’m telling you with the adjusted totals too. Believe the highest they offered tonight was like 249.5 at like +$1100, it would have covered by 2.5.

Not taking anything for granted...but we SHOULD beat the Lakers with KD/Kyrie back and with them missing AD.

Best win of the season imo. Coming from behind beating a good team on the road without our other 2 stars. Everybody that played were a positive out there. Jeff Green is invaluable to this team. Tyler Johnson is getting more comfortable after being out with covid. Shamet and TLC were solid. Harris stepped up huge especially as the primary scorer when Harden was off the floor. Speaking of Harden he is amazing he was facilitating, being a playmaker and scoring and he played some good defense down the stretch. This team is starting to get their chemistry together...

Man what a game and what a come back. I know Harden wanted this game bad, he doesn't like Chris Paul. This was a team effort. Tyler Johnson deserves some minutes, uncle Jeff is a steal and Shamet is getting his groove back.

We made stops when we really needed to which was at the end of the game. But man we are giving up 120 points every single night, it's kinda annoying. Whatever, we didn't have KD/Kyrie and still won so I'll take it.

Incredible win. Great effort by the short handed Nets rotation, and guys like Meth & Shamet stepped up big time. Some of yall owe Nash an apology.

I'm rewatching this miracle again on YES right now and I still can't believe we won. :D

It would be easy to believe, even expected, if we had the BIG 3 or even 2 of the 3, but with KD and Kyrie out, the second of back-to-backs on the west coast, down by 24 at one point, basically Harden and our B-team, and we comeback and won this game. How? HOW!?!? :o The Suns were in a state of shock. :lol:

If we're healthy this is a championship team. Just need to stay healthy and add another piece or two.

It would also be awesome to get Dinwiddie back for the post season if we don't trade him in a package for someone like Andre Drummond. Not impossible. He sounds optimistic and way ahead of schedule.
