Pistons @ Nets: 3/13/2021 @ &:00 PM on YES 

Post#1 » by Prokorov » Fri Mar 12, 2021 7:21 pm

Last time the Nets lost with both Kyrie and Harden playing was 12 games ago against the Pistons. That seemed to be a wakeup call and we have been lights out since.

Blake has come over to the darkside since then. no word if he will make his return to the court vs. his old team or not. Revenge game for us... I expect a 30 point blowout.

some very winnable games and some teams we owe a beating to:

Pistons
Knicks
Pacers
Magic
Wizards
Blazers
Jazz
Rockets
Hornets
Bulls
Knicks
Pelicans

Realiastically at worst that should be 12-0 but likely 10-2 with one slip up to a bad team and maybe the Jazz beating us if Kyrie sits (he absolutely owns utah).

If we run the table we'd be 37-13.

Yea I don't see us losing for a while. We will go on a few winning streaks to close this season out. I see us having less than 20 losses on the season.

Blazers and Jazz should give us a good battle. We should win the other games if we play up to our level, but I do look forward to seeing us play against the Hornets. We owe them a pounding.

I expect another blowout of the Jazz. they cant stop Kyrie and harden has owned them as well. we have had alot of success vs them. Kyrie seemed motivated to pound them after they ended his season last year

Correct, I think that Prok got a little over-excited and started the thread a day early!

No worries, I'm excited about this grudge match as well. I don't think that Blake will play, that might be too much pressure and too fresh a wound for some Detroit fans. Though I would absolutely LOVE to see him play tomorrow. Imagine Blake getting a clear path to the cup because of all the defensive attention everyone else on our team receives, and throwing down his 1st dunk in nearly 2 years, as his first points as a Brooklyn Net!

We have the second easiest schedule in the league going forward after last night according to Tankathon.

The Knicks and Pacers will be tough ones with Caris returning.

Correct. We also are 1 of only 2 teams (I believe LAC are the other) that played 37 games before the All Star break. So, IF everyone will be required to make up enough games to teach 72, we should be slightly more rested than others heading into the postseason, by virtue of a less condensed schedule.

We just need to concentrate on getting KD right, and maintaining the health of KAI and James. The rest of the league fears us, the only team that can stop us is ourselves.

I'm just glad the guy is healthy and cancer free, forget about basketball. He'll always have love from this fanbase no matter what.

Hate to be a PINA, but you also have to fix the start time. It's 7 PM, not 8 PM.

Joe Harris rarely has two bad shooting games (by his standards) in a row.

So I expect Joe Harris to GO OFF tonight.
