Feels good. I had the day off, made some bank off of Gamestop stocks, and the Nets give the Thunder a good paddling.

I took my money out last year and got blocked from Robinhood this week adding more

He came out last game and said he takes him under his wing. This brother is invested into the future of our organization. Nets are now 3rd place in the East.

Great times to be a Nets fan.

Great Girl Group, though I always thought EN VOGUE was better.

I remember seeing the debut video of their debut song, HOLD ON, on I believe it was BET?

My immediate response was ... these girls are gonna be huge!

Cindy Herron was the dime.

Bucks lost, Pacers lost. Nets have a chance to be 1st in the East by Tuesday with a brand new backup center and rested KD.

Nets are officially 2nd in the East for the first time since 2003.

2nd RD steal. He's just a rookie and at times you can see he's a rookie, but you can also see the size, skill and upside. NO WAY he shouldn't have been a 1st RD Pick.

I thought this was game of the year. 2 things stand out:

1. Perfect synergy between Harden and Kyrie. Wow. Played off each other beautifully. You could tell Harden was always making sure Kyrie was involved.

2. People are going to look at the final score and trash our defense. I don't think it tells the story at all of how we played on that end. Definitely not perfect but we played really hard. We were switching up coverages a lot. I think that's the first time I've seen a zone this year. It didn't work but I liked the idea. We started trapping SGA hard. Guys were actually rotating and contesting a lot. I think the score looks a little better if Theo Maledon didn't turn the sliders all the way up on his shots. 6 for 6 on 3s. And I swear he hit like 2 long 2s where his foot was on the line. Easily could've been 7 for 7.

Give us another week, two weeks tops, and we'll be the #1 seed in the east. :wink:

Brooklyn shot 57% from the floor. That's insane. I dunno if they will shoot that well again the rest of the season!

Great win for them since they were embarrassed by the OKC young guns a couple weeks ago.

Honestly when these two meet (favorite childhood team vs home team) I don't have a biased opinion. I'm happy either way.

I like that Brooklyn is starting to gel more and more each game, but at the same time the experience and growing pains for OKC will pay dividends long-term.

Remember when people here were questioning if giving up LeVert was to much for Harden? Good times

We can be by Tuesday.

Celtics play the Lakers tomorrow, Bucks/Hornets tomorrow and Sixers/Pacers on Sunday.

We already are 1-0 on Milwaukee, Boston and Philly. We are so far in control of any tiebreaker situations.

Imagine how much better our second unit would be if Dinwiddie didn't tear his ACL

It's just a matter of time. I'll be disappointed if we are anything but the 1 seed.

Great game. Nice to get a stress free blowout. my thoughts:
1) Kyrie doesnt miss shots. that double cross spid + fadeaway with SGA in his face is Kobe level stuff.
2) Harden/Kyrie forced nothing. got an efficient 25 + assists each within the flow of the game
3) LOVEEEEED that we finally did something different vs the pick and roll. off days and film helped. we blitz PNR. awesome
4) no one in the world can beat us going small.
5) nice to see shamet play and hit shots. Harden might be his slump buster
7) despite having an "Awful defense" "3 ball hog prima donnas" and a "cancer in kyrie" we somehow are #2 in the east and 8-2 in our last 10 games
8) Brown continues to be a great glue guy. Green more tough minutes

Only criticism i have is nash not challenging the 4th foul on hard early 3rd quarter.

foul on your star + free throws + quesitonable call = you have to challenge. especially when it is foul #4. only shot they had of coming back is a fouled out harden.

Yeah you can see that the Big 3 + Jordan are always in his ear. The one thing about Harden so far is that he's clearly happy to be here and has been very positive with his body language on the court and what he says to the media. Seems like he's all in on winning which is great.

I like Perry. I don't think he's ready right now though, he still has some learning to do, but next year i think he could be a contributor with his size and potential to shoot.

The teams we will have to truly beat with system and talent will be Clippers, Pacers, Raps and Sixers coming up. We’re undefeated against plus .500 teams.

@ Wiz
Vs Clippers
Vs Raptors
@ Sixers
@ Pistons
Vs Pacers

Great schedule while incorporating some new potential additions. Coming out of this healthy with more chemistry is the ultimate goal and I think we could go on a run here.
