I'm pissed at Russell, but you can't take that away from him. The season was supposed to be over once LeVert went down, but Russell stepped up and we don't get into the playoffs without him. He should've been selected in over Lowry anyway.


Yeah, I'm pissed at him right now as well but if people are going to sit here and use tonight to make trolling statements like that, they're being ridiculous.

It was Houston and boston's downfall last year when both of them shot an incredibly terrible percentage from 3.

I don't think its a reliable method in the playoffs. Your offense shouldn't be totally reliant on that shot.

It works with a real primed star within or surrounding it.

Since no one will actually be watching the second half, I think it's time to start officially kick off offseason talk now

-What is D Lo worth?
-Who can we realistically add to improve our PF/C size, defense, rebounding?
-Is Jarrett Allen our future starting center long-term?
-Do we stay in the 2019 Draft or trade out?
-Do we bring back Dudley, Carroll, Davis?

Unless you're the Warriors and have Curry and Klay on your team. Other than that... :lol:


But the Warriors are actually 7th in the League in 3 point attempts. And only 1 away from being 14th. Houston takes 11 more per game.

They don't take a crazy amount of 3s. And don't rely on them to win.

Steph lives around the rim a lot. KD is elite at the mid range.

When they're shots aren't falling they find other ways.

You're adding nothing of substance with garbage ass statements like this. So its Kenny's fault that the best shooter in the league pissed his pants in a playoff series? Spare me with this crap, you've been trolling this board all season dude.

40 points by philly in the paint in 2 quarters. Brooklyn is 12/46 from the field in 2 quarters. Nothing to really discuss..
OKC Thunder fan, too.

That's what I've been doing. I'd be pissed if I had nothing to do and this is what I'd be subjected to.

With play like this, I'm mostly killing time with actual work until Season 2 of Cobra Kai at midnight. Soooo unexpectedly good.

IDK man. He's the reason we made the playoffs this year. Remember the Kings game when it looked like we wouldn't even make it? And he was the one that brought us back by himself.

Its his first playoffs ever and he's only 23. Let's not overreact.

They also have 3 of the best 25 players in the NBA on their roster, so I guess that has something to do with it too.

I agree with you. It's a shameful performance but is it an indictment on him or his entire body of work this season? Absolutely not. IceManBK is a **** ing troll and he's showing his ass big time.

Well obviously. But they had that in 2016 too and still lost.

I just don't want the Nets to fall in love w/ analytics and think we have to keep taking more 3s. That **** doesn't always work.

Statistically Joe Harris was not supposed to turn into Markelle Fultz.

I don't think he's worth a full max. We need to sign him to an amount where we still have flexibility. He signs a huge max offer sheet, that's a nightmare scenario.

Allen is still young, so it's early to tell but he needs to bulk up. This off-season is huge for his development.

We need to draft size.

Do everything to bring back Davis. Carroll and Dudley are totally expendable imo.
