They just destroyed the knicks and have to travel to NYC to play in a back to back. Hopefully fatigue takes a toll on them when they play us because it's gonna be hard to beat them with the way they've been playing the past two months.

bulls are playing some of the best basketball in the league right now... dont see us beating a hot team clicking on all cylinders. id rest KG and make sure that back is ok for memphis, chalk this one up as a 10-15 point loss

Don't see a win here.

Would really like to see Kidd shake up the lineups now with Thornton seeming to feel comfortable.

I think we could make a few adjustments to the lineup to stay "small" but the biggest thing I think Kidd needs to do is let Shaun play with the second unit more, or just keep Deron and Shaun off the floor at the same time.

Deron/JJ/PP/AK/KG (Plumlee when KG sits, since that's so often now)

Shaun/MT/AA/Mirza/Blatche (Use Collins when we're in foul trouble)

Don't get your hopes up for this one. Bulls are vastly superior to this overpaid sack of **** team

I hope JJ takes a rest. He was a blackhole the last matchup. I think if it wasn't for him, Nets might have pulled out the win.

Omg guys stop being so negative. We are 18-8 in the new year that's like 3rd best man. We just best the bucks we can definitely take on the bulls. D-will might get shut down but you have to watch how he plays. Stats aren't everything

**** this rest and forfeit mentality, you play to win the game, let's not forget we were in the game the last time we faced them until kidd inexplicably took kg out for a stretch of 4 minutes or so.

the bulls play to win. alot of teams play to win. this nets team certainly does not play to win.... and that is the issue.

we were lsoing when KG came out last time. i dont think we would have won either way. bulls are playing great basketball. KG or not they are beating us

Considering how Brooklyn nuts up every time they play Chicago, I'm not seeing a win. Tom Thibodeau is a phenomenal coach and will forever out coach the Nets current coaching staff in his sleep.

The Brooklyn Nets is the only team in the NBA that doesn't come out to win every game apparently.

there are actually alot. there are even some teams who come out trying to lose so they can get a better draft pick. the nets dont have competitive guys. they dont play with passion. they basically cash their checks, show up, and whatever happens happens.

you cant possibly look at this team and think they consistently play hard. watch bulls or bobcats or blazers... those teams are playing with high effort. this team sleep walks through games. other then like 2 or 3 guys its a team of dogs with 0 drive to win

If KG doesn't play, this is going to be a 25 point loss.

Blatche is going to get OWNED by Noah and Boozer, he's just too lazy and stupid...and Plumlee will do his typical "3 fouls in 2 minutes" thing.

Kirilenko should start regardless though, and match up with Noah.

therealbig3 · Post #17 » by **therealbig3** » Mon Mar 3, 2014 8:31 pm

I also don't expect much from Deron or JJ in this game, they just go invisible whenever they match up with Hinrich and Butler...and the Bulls know it too.

I was thinking we had a chance if KG and Pierce had throwback games, but KG probably isn't playing now.

Prokorov · Post #18 » by **Prokorov** » Mon Mar 3, 2014 8:52 pm

we dont have much of a chance with KG so id rather he get himself 100% healthy...

in fact i like plumlee's energy with kirilenko maybe helping match the bulls intensity. its a longshot either way though. this is one of those games you need to feed off the crowd. we need to give them a reason to be loud

Keith Van Horn · Post #19 » by **Keith Van Horn** » Mon Mar 3, 2014 9:17 pm

IF KG is out, start Mason again and bring Blatche off the bench.

Keith Van Horn · Post #20 » by **Keith Van Horn** » Mon Mar 3, 2014 9:19 pm

Need to make move of switching Livingston and Kirilenko in the starting lineup. This is huge.... when we come out flat and get down something like 18-7 in the first few minutes of the game, then it's over. Put that offensive boost in Livingston back with the second unit and let Paul shift back over to SF and let AK play PF and we'll still have technically a small ball lineup.
