KD was incredible, but IMO he's the best player in the world, so 51 was no surprise.

The kid who's really impressing me is Cam Thomas.

That kid has mad skills and he's playing like ... "I ain't going back to the G-league, EVER."

That was a draft-nite steal for Marks considering where we drafted him.

Thomas looks like an NBA player. im not sure about a steal. mid to late first round seemed right for an offense heavy player who doesnt shoot threes.

9-41 on the season from three. until that improves, its hard to call him a steal. played well tonight, last 3-4 games less so. he's a rookie, so that is expected.

He is playing with the right confidence and attitude and is getting his opportuntiy. he is playing well enough not to waste it. but i dont think he has been special.

This should have been a blowout with a huge lead going into the half...

The game turned when we decided to go ultra big (KD, Blake, LMA lineup). We couldnt get stops and they got open 3 after open 3. even more mind boggling was coming back with the same lineup after a timeout when they had a 8-1 run that then turned into a 16-1 run.

at least we got the W. cant afford to throw away the easy wins.

Claxtons D has turned like 3 of the last 4 games. glad he is back.

My favorite possession was KD with 5 fouls shading a drive into a helping Clax rejection then getting it out to a Cam break away layup. KD showing love to his youngins.

KD is incredible man. Sometimes you forgot you are watching one of the best players whos ever lived. And hes on the Nets.

Clax is also a monster defensively. He changes the whole team dynamic.

Still not a good sign it took this much to beat the Pistons. We need Harden to be back to normal and take the load off KD.

I mean we still have the best record in the East. And have a ton of talent.

We looked far worse last year. And turned it around by the end of the season.

I wouldn't say that we are bad. But we do need some more offensive help.

If you want to see a team that is bad, go over to the Knicks forum. They are in despair right now :lol:

Last year we beat the other great teams so far this year we can’t even do that. We’re running KD into the ground.

KD is the one that wants to play those minutes. The plan from management is sitting him out games particularly back to backs. They did a study showing it's more effective to take an entire game off for rest rather than cutting back minutes played per game which is what we are starting to see going forward.

in addition "we cant even do that [beat good teams] isnt accurate.

We beat philly, we beat the wizards, we beat cleveland twice, we beat the hawks twice

GREAT teams lost twice to the Bulls, got destroyed by Milwaukee and the Warriors and lost to the Suns. We couldn’t even beat Houston without KD. This team is bad and KD is simply masking a lot of our problems.

Bulls arent great. far from great. both losses were om back to backs.

0-3 vs the 3 best teams in the league. 2 of those on the road. im not really concerned.

Youre panicking over a sample size of like 5 games?

:lol:

Last year we started out near .500 and everyone was saying the Harden trade was a mistake. This year we are in a FAR better position.

We will get Joe Harris back. Harden will get better. Claxton will play more minutes.

And Kyrie might be back.

So yes things will change.
