Marquee match up between 2 of the hottest teams in the league. Does BROOKLYN have what it takes to beat the beast of the east? We'll find out.

Your team is too old to play on back to backs. I think the next game against the Hawks is very winnable though.

I'd be shocked if we pull this one out after that battle last night.

We beat OKC on a back to back...

I don't think we have too much to worry about besides fatigue.

Unless we come out there really tired, I think we should win. But maybe I'm being too optimistic.

The Raptors really don't scare me. They were one of the only teams we beat back when we sucked, and I don't think merely subtracting Rudy Gay makes them that much better.

Shaun Livingston can contain Lowry.

Concerned about an emotional and physical letdown after last night. But we shall see what we shall see.

On another note, how can you not root for Shaun Livingston after all he's gone thru? Great Story that's not heralded enough imho.

I'd be shocked if we win this oje, tbh, guys must be exhausted from the game last night.

Taylor is going to have to get some major burn tonight as is Blatche and Teletovic. The main guys are going to be so fatigued. Would be ecstatic with a win going into next week. I know it's just the raptors but we're playing so well now and I would hate to lose that momentum, since I think it's doing wonders for our squad now.

5-3 in the 2nd game of back to backs this year, with 2 of those losses against the pacers.

they played a basketball game at home and no one really played a ton of minutes outside of JJ/Pierce/Livingston. every one else was like 30 minutes or less.

More mirza and plumlee today and we are fine.

They really aren't bad...this is a dangerous game.

Plus KG played for 36 minutes, Alan for 35, Shaun 51, Truth 44, JJ 46...i really hope i'm wrong, but i'm not sure we can win this one.

Yeah, I'll be surprised if we win this game. The Raptors are playing great ball and we just won in double over time last night. I wouldn't even be mad if we did lose this game to be honest though obviously I want a W here.

We got this.

N Ireland Nets · Post #16 » by **N Ireland Nets** » Sat Jan 11, 2014 4:10 pm

I don't see why we should rest anyone to be honest. We've got 1 game in London over the next 9 days so it's a really good extended break to rest and recoup our energy while getting healthy.

This is a big game, win and we're only 2 wins behind 4th seed in the East.

Just give guys like Taylor and Plumlee sheltered minutes to give good long breaks for guys like KG

I agree, but I'm also wary about fatigue bringing about injuries.

We honestly need to get to .500 so I really want the Nets to rattle off 4 or 5 more in a row before we tank a game

You're in for quite a surprise...

LOL Rudy Gay. Remember when we were all hoping to trade for him?

Guy had one 60 game run of top notch play after running for Coach K that one summer, injured his shoulder and regressed right back to the awful awfulness he was.

Such a shame, physical tools like he has he should have literally been one of the best players in the league.
