I think this is a must win. No game seven. Close it out now. Anything can happen in game 7. Come out serious and take this game.

That being said I am predicting a loss. Unfortunately. But hey I thought they would lose game. 5. So what do I know

Everyone else is decimated by injuries or completely inexperienced.

If we can somehow get past them I really like our chances. But these next 2 games will be Hell. They will not go easy.


Why 2? A little optimism before closing game please :nod:


I reverse jinx everything :lol:

I'll go on the record, I'm not confident that Joe will help us at all tonight. The Bucks have his number, just like Philly did in 2019. If I'm wrong, I'll be thrilled. To this point, Harris has been absolutely atrocious in the series, 34%FG and 33%3PT.

Joe's problem is that when defense's aggressively close out on him, he rushes his shot, or dribbles, or passes. All of these outcomes play into the hands of the opponent. He's got to fight that urge, and keep his shot mechanics the same speed and rhythm, no matter who is flying at him.

I've said it before, I don't think there has ever been an elite sniper in the league before, who is so afraid to draw And1's. Look at Redick, Curry, or anyone else, they get to the line off of 3-pointers far more than Harris because they never alter their shot motion. In that way, they demand that defenders respect their airspace, or make them pay at the FT line. If Joe can somehow remember to do the same, we will be golden. If not, he will go down in history as another marksman who gets the yips in big games.

I have no confidence in Harris doing anything. I also think it’s fair to expect some massive regression to the mean for Jeff Green lol.

But Griffin and Shamet need to come through, and I wouldn’t mind seeing some TJ out there.

If Joe is even remotely decent tonight this is over with. Nets also have to get him in rhythm. Some of those possessions last game when he shot, it’ll he tried to go off the dribble for 3s after getting the ball around a pick and was just clanking. Hopefully he gets cleaner looks and cashed them in. I’ve been religiously defending him from the “He’s overpaid” crowd on social media. Don’t let me down Joe

This is a defining night for my boy Joe. He has to show something on the road for once. Tonight should be the night.

This is Joes breakout game tonight. Harden will be a little better and will hit some 3’s in the first quarter and that will dictate Joe getting the space he needs and the rhythm will be set. I see us playing a good game. Durant will close the coffin door on them 4th quarter. We got this. Let’s Goooooo!!!

No expectations to win tonight, but if we can keep this close entering 4th quarter, I like our chances.

Joe goes for 5/5 on 3's and we win by 3 pts.

Harden looks pretty good in the pregame shoot around. It makes me think he is holding a lot back which he would not do if this was game 7. Nets have him on an exertion restriction.

Hard to say Joe wasn't getting his typical looks last game, he got a lot of wide open looks that he just bricked.

Hopefully, it's just variance and he improves to the mean this game. Cuz I know Jeff Green is gonna regress to the mean.

Milwaukee is bailing us out with these misses. We need to execute on offense.

Nah Harden is still 30 percent. If Joe and green don’t shoot lights out this is not good.

Nash needs to call time out and get these guys heads together. They're playing stupid.
