BTW, Durant was his typical self, really slow start but then turned it around in a big way. Harden was a monster.

But can we appreciate what Kyrie brought to the table? An extremely efficient 26/7/4, and I thought he was perfect in his role...big shots down the stretch of the game at crucial times when we really needed a bucket, and he picked his spots perfectly.

He's not getting my Knight vote (that goes to the top role player for me), but he should get some love. He's been fantastic since coming back, legit a top 10-15 player.

Nash had shown he is willing to make drastic lineup changes based off performance. So I can't see TLC in the rotation next game

Teams can't defend the Nets conventionally so you're be seeing gimmick defense's all season long. It'll be zones or what Atlanta did today in just not guarding TLC at all

TLC can't make teams pay for doing that. He's not a good playmaker and his shot is inconsistent. If they played Shamet like that it would be shooting practice for him

King was harden for the second straight game

Unsung hero’s uncle Jeff and brown.

If things don't change for you guys. KD will get injured again due to the heavy minutes.

Hopefully it's sooner rather than later. Also it'll make Kd's impact even better because he'll give you 30 points in 32-33 mpg lol.

I didnt lime lot things:

1. TLC was awful...
2. Almost no bench
3. Again lack of effort on defence again
4. Too many stupid fouls on Youns
5. Irving when gets ball see just a basket...
6. Too much Harden tonight... he was very good but KD should get more ball...
7. Joe Harris was off tonight...

So anyway we got a win that shows how this team is great if wins in mostly bad games

Sean Marks knows this. We went from complaining about our bench to getting Harden quick. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had something else up his sleeve. We have up until this weekend to make some signings official.

The lack of bench depth and toughness is glaring. Everyone sees it.

When is Pelle suiting up for the Nets?

Good question. He should be done with quarantine by this weekend, right? 14 days?

Also, why doesn’t Nash use Tyler Johnson whatsoever? It’s ridiculous we have a guy capable of 15-20 off the bench, better than TLC and he’s not even seeing the floor.

I’m going with Kyrie as the King, he hit some of the biggest shots of the game.

Harden as Knight.

TLC the obvious Jester.

We have until Saturday I believe to complete two roster spots or else we lose them. So, it definitely should be sooner lol

Hunter and Collins are straight up dogs. I love their games.

We have moved into 4th in the East. 1.5 games behind Philly for 1st place.

KD joins rookie Wilt Chamberlain as the first two players to average 30+ in the first 15 games of a season since 1959-60 with a new team.

Funny you should mention Dame, I think that LAL will cobble together a trade for him this offseason.

There was a game where TJ started getting minutes over Shamet, and he did quite well, but then he got hit with contact tracing protocol. He hasn't sniffed the rotation since then. It was really unfortunate, because at that point, we really could have used him too (remember we had no KD or Kyrie).

Lakers have absolutely nothing to make a trade for a decent player, let alone a superstar player like Dame.

Schroeder, Kuzma and THT is definitely on the block. Add those 3 guys up and you can bring back an upgrade at approx 20m salary.

LeBron has been around long enough to know their current team can't deal with the Nets once Nets reach their final form, so make no mistake there's definitely things going on in the background.

Schroeder is an expiring contract, he has to be re-signed first. Kuzma and THT aren't even good :lol:

Their picks collection is depleted, and they have no genuine trade worthy assets. It ain't happening.
