I'm not even enjoying this game. The Nets are playing brainless.

I literally don't even remember the last time we scored. Been 55 forever.

With a loss tonight, we might be looking at 3rd seed very soon.

Missed FTs. Turnovers. Offensive rebounds given up.

The Bucks have looked like the better team through 6 quarters. If you think otherwise, you are in denial. I'm very disappointed in this team.

I don't see anything remotely close to a team that is prepared for playoff basketball.

What a terrible end to the Q. 4 straights missed FTs is unacceptable.

Still at least we kept it to 8. Hopefully we can play Claxton more and get back in it.

We have been a bad team without Harden all season. Need to get it together now. We might be without him for a while.

Harden is the floor leader that we need right now.

That's a bit of an overreaction. Giannis is playing out of his mind right now, making all sorts of jumpers. They're getting big contributions from their other guys as well (Middleton, Jrue). Even a scrub like Brynn Forbes has outplayed our shooting specialists. Things need to improve a lot but they're overachieving atm.

We're lucky to be down 8 and our stars are on pace to play 38/39 minutes.

Milwaukee's defense is just clamping us up. Outside of KD + Kyrie hitting tough shots, we have nothing going. IDK this might be the type of game where we need to bench DJ - play Blake + Claxton at C. Play Bruce Brown. Get some toughness and hustle in there.

Don't really need to see DJ in the 2nd half.

Wouldn't mind if we benched Green either, he's come way back down to earth. Right now, he's a mediocre shooter, bad defender, and unreliable FT shooter. I'd be cool with Alize out there. He's actually a good defender.

Giannis is playing out of his mind right now. Hmm you mean like a two time mvp player. Why does everyone act like this is a fluke or a surprise. Let’s continue to give him open shots and wonder why we lose.

I love our man Joe, he has a pretty healthy reputation of struggling mightily as a shooter in playoff intensity.

Middleton has actually been really quiet, only 7 points on 6 shots. He can easily play better in the 2nd half, even if Giannis and Jrue cool off.

IDK, this looks sustainable for Milwaukee right now, or at least, it's not that much better than what you'd expect against our defense.

I think Harris and Shamet are due to play better, but still, this one's feeling like a loss.

A career 28.9% 3pt shooter, who is shooting 31% from 3 this season, he's making over 50% of his 3s against us. Please spare me the bs about the two time MVP, no one's denying that he isn't a great player.

Deandre is god awful. Needs to stay off the floor . The ball movement in that second quarter wasn’t great

Well I was referring to the "last 6 quarters" that he was talking about. Middleton was great last game.

He is shooting almost 39 percent from three for the last 10 games

I say this. Nash will lose this team games in the playoffs due to his inability to make adjustments.

I also think he has taken away one of the nets greatest strengths these two games. Their bench. He has shortened the bench and it shows

All these games are doing is giving Milwaukee confidence. Bucks like the Nets are shook. Let's see "IF" they really real, but all Brooklyn does is turn the ball over and get out rebounded.
