I'm hearing Kyrie might sit this one out too? Ughh if so, he might as well just come back after New Years... it sounds like his shoulder is really hurt. I thought he would of been good now . It's going to be tough to win this one without him.

EDIT: He is out

Having both Kyrie and Caris out at the same time is brutal. One thing you can pick against Marks is that he should've known better and get another guard who can do something with the ball. It's not like we didn't know those two will miss games to load management or injury. Linsanity? I mean there were few other names that could've helped us right now.

Those stats don't look good when Kemba off the floor. He also been great behind 3pt line this year.

Looks like you not exited to see Tample and Pinson try to make plays

Kenny need to find a way to make Allen a threat on offense.
Them doubling and trapping Din again is given, we need Shump or Nwaba to start at 2. Can't afford playing Tample and not having anyone being able to dribble with that second unit. Musa should get all Pinson min. Keep Theo where he belongs, give him pom poms and do his work there.
DJ imo been missed last game. Everytime Allen went to the bench they were taking it to the basket with not much resistance. Clax good energy guy and can do some good things but he ain't ready to play vs playoff teams.

I was going to make a new preview if Kyrie played, but without him, it's most of the same information as my last breakdown.

Boston killed us with gang rebounding and perimeter on-ball pressure, that won't change overnight. We could adjust to slash and finish around the rim more, but I doubt we shoot it as well as we did on Wednesday from deep. Those variables offset IMO, so I don't think we can expect a better offensive performance from ourselves overall. Finally, I think Jayson will burn us, he kinda laid an egg but it's hard to keep him down twice. Kenny can hope to slow the pace and limit their transition buckets, but that hurts our offensive rhythm too.

PREDICTION: NETS 91 CELTIC 110

Kyrie will be re-evaluated after the game.

Nets are coming out strong. Allen looking consistent.

JA has made a leap. Really good to see.

Allen coming out with some power .. Dinwiddie looks to have his shot back.. Harris draining those 3s. Lets keep this defense up.

Man Shumpert has really worked on his offense this summer

This guy Musa is trashhhh !!! Why the hell is he always on the floor ! God help this bench please. We can never finish the quarter strong. Where is Napier ? get him back over here.

Watching what I can from a hospital. Friend is having her baby.

Kenny just play Dinwiddie 40 plus minutes bro, this bench is sad . Once they come in, the other team automatically comes back.

14 point lead, now down to 2. How surprising .

Not much to analyze. We can't hang when our 5 starters aren't on the floor.

Really disappointed with Musa and Pinson. Both had HUE opprtunities for real singificant time and usage. not only have they not taken advantage, they have played about as bad as you can play offensively. And for team that wins with offense, thats no bueno.

Musa is shooting 17% from three (6-35) and a ton of them have been uncontested. I dont need curry but at least give me rondo level shooting. He also has been horrific with anything at the rim, wild off balance layup attempts with no chane to go in. If he has this floater, use the floater.

i like his effort and he has made alot of timely plays on D, but he is just so bad offensively and is being tasked with creating offense its rough. i expect rookie strugges and know kurucs like play from late picks isnt common but id had hoped for something closer to competant offense

pinson is so bad he makes musa look good
