Hope we can set plays for Mikal. Spencer's hero ball ain't cut it...

This team has no depth. This is what a playoff rotation would look like

Marks has always deprioritized a traditional PG, but this is where you need one. It's way too early to try to kill clock. Run your sets.

Yep. Would also make it easier to play Claxton in these situations, there's no roll threat at all right now...

Bridges going for 40

KD wanted to leave when he realized that simply scoring 30ppg is not enough to be a franchise player. You have to show resiliency and leadership. But KD just kept saying "I just wanna hoop". He let the Nets down and shown that he is just a role player.

Both can be true. As management it's your job to know your personnel on and off court. KD is no bus driver but he's also an all-time talent, both of those have been no secret for a long time.

Knowing this a rookie coach was hired and we all go all in with a supporting cast of Kyrie, Harden, and Simmons which could be the 3 worst choices you can make when it comes to finding a leader with a max salary. You are then forcing KD into the leadership role which hes I'll suited for, with no picks going forward, little flexibility and also no certainty that Kyrie will even be around.

KD wasn't forced into the leadership role. He wanted it. He wanted to stop living in Curry's shadow. He thought it would be easy. And he was wrong.

A franchise player would have spoken up when Harden was stinking up the locker room

A franchise player would not have allowed the Kyrie situation to get out of hand

A franchise player wouldn't have rage quitted after getting swept by BOS

KD was a failure.

Well said. Enjoying this win right now. Nets fans needed a Dub like this

This is the team we expect to see win or loss. Scrappy and effort

We wouldn't go far in the playoffs with Dinwiddie as our PG

Dinwiddie is gone in June. I can’t stand him or his over dribbling

What an amazing win. Maybe we can make the playoffs lol

3-game winning streak coming up? :wink:

Damn, that must have been an exciting win. I checked the score early and then about 10 minutes ago and was thinking what the hell? Did the Nets just clamp down on D while Bridges got hot? Always the efficient man...very nice to see on such high volume. I always said the guy could be a star....I was ready to die on that mountain. Looks like he may well be on his way.

Crazy Mikal has had the best wing performance against the Tatum celtics ever. This guy is a star n a keeper

Don't even say that. The guy hasn't missed a game since Jr High, and even that one his coach held him out for some weird reason.

Best win of the season. The only team I hate more than the Knicks are the Celtics.

Funny reading this thread backwards.

Netaman · Post #56 » by **Netaman** » Sat Mar 4, 2023 3:13 am

told you all bridges was on brown's level lol. and he's on a steal of a contract.

imagine if he is kawhi 2.0???? i didn't really allow myself to believe that as anything beyond a long shot but his efficiency numbers despite the increased usage are staggering.

great to see the team win a game like this for confidence. i dont expect them to get too much consistency but playing DFS as the backup big and tightening the rotation is the way to go. i even like starting s3th at pg in the 4th quarter when the team needs some offense while the close out guys rest.

lol get these Saltics tf outta here, they ain't winning squat ! :lol:

that length tho.. all that length bothered them. Maybe we should keep all our pieces. Bridges looking like KD out there with all them mid range shots, he's money from there it's a thing of beauty. DFS finally got some shots to go down.

His development next season will be insane. We’ve always been getting guys to improve year to year under our performance staff during the off season.

I’m excited for what Mikal and Cam can do once they truly attach to our culture system and player development. Look what we did with Claxton, Allen, LeVert, Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, KD post Achilles and Blake Griffin off a knee injury.
