Incredible offensive performances from Kyrie/Claxton and we somehow just forget how to play defense.

I can't believe how bad we guarded these guys. Beyond pathetic.

Do we have any chance of beating the Knicks or Lakers?

This team might be in the play in very soon.

I called it last night even.. anyone not named KD, Kyrie or Claxton can go.

KD + hobbled Harden with no Harris and part time Kyrie and washed vets took this team to a 2 seed. J

Dude is a straight up marksman and can actually handle the ball and make plays. He's a championship level role player.

You need to be his agent. There's a reason he's not getting more than 10m.

You don't get it.

Chip caliber role players more often than not two way players. Just take a look at sample size of past 10 years.

You have no clue what you saying.

Did you really put Kyrie's name there?

I'll give you Joe and Patty.

Saying he's a legit chip caliber role player is not only laughable hot take, it's says much more about you.

Plain simple. Curry is a journey man, who occasionally gets hot. He gets dumped like a hot potato when chance is given.

Thybulle who can't get off the bench and averages 2.5 pts was/is more valuable than Curry.

It's very concerning that we can't win games without Durant

And each loss had its own excuse for it

Man, after listening to Vaughn's press conference - we really might move Ben at the deadline.

People are going to harp on the fact that he rolled his eyes after he said "knee soreness" when describing his injury. I thought his response after was harsher. He took a pretty direct shot at Ben's preparation and how he's taking care of his body. Maybe I'm misinterpreting and maybe he was just bigging up the guys on the team that played today but that was pretty bad.

Not sure if it'll work or not but after last season, the Nets have NOT coddled Ben at all. Last 2 press conferences. Benching him in 4th quarters. Having him come off the bench for a bit. Players only meeting about him was reported. No rest days on back to backs. Etc.

It screaming our coaches are trash. When people will get through their heads a lot will and can change.

Just look how much difference it made moving from Trash to JV ( who is also horrible ) and how it affected team. We need legit coach who can handle Kyrie.

This is why I'm about to flip on Marks soon. Not getting Ime was/is huge mistake. You just had to kick tires to see what's good.

I mean this guy managed to fix Saltic locker room problems and take them to another level. Yet we care about PR? With all we have going on this team with these players.

Please help me to understand what I'm missing here.

KD? KYRIE and Ben alone should warranted him this gig.

I don't want to pound my chest here repeating what I said early In a season. Dude not belong in NY.

He can play. Not here and not now under this circumstances.

I still cannot believe Ben didn't even score a single point.

At home against the Pistons with no KD.. the team drops 122 points, and you can't even score ONE bucket!? Hes gotta go

You need to pay attention to the market than.

Spot up shooters being unplayable lately and teams trying to load on stretch bigs.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #76 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Fri Jan 27, 2023 4:30 am

Ben needs to be traded. He still has some value left.

We need 2 way players. Ben is basically Andre Roberson at this point.

He can't play when he is just a nothing on offense. I'd rather just get a 2 way wing who can offer some shooting and decent defense.

And now he just quits in the middle of the game cause of random knee soreness. Hes not built for the NBA. Get him off my team.

Its the Pistons man.

Arguably the worst team in the NBA. Without their best player.

You cant lose. There is no exuse.

Our defense was beyond pathetic.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #78 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Fri Jan 27, 2023 4:32 am

TJ Warren is also terrible. Idk if hes hurt but he doesn't seem reliable at all.

Tha King · Post #79 » by **Tha King** » Fri Jan 27, 2023 4:32 am

The best fit for Simmons might be coming off the bench. He can play most/all his minutes as the primary playmaker with spacing.

If you can find a starting SG/Wing with the Sixers pick then that might be the best way to go for this season.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #80 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Fri Jan 27, 2023 4:33 am

Lastly, I feel bad for Kyrie.

Dude played the entire second half and put up 40 points. He was our entire offense. And these bums couldn't even bust their ass to rebound and play some defense on a bunch of scrubs.

Just pathetic.
