Kyrie is out with a groin injury. Let's hope that's just a BS excuse for him to get some rest. He took several hard hits in the last two games.

Blake is not playing tonight either, which is kind of frustrating but I trust the staff.



Let's hope that this doesn't happen to us tonight :lol:

Also, some sad news to report, back in January former Nets center Shawn Bradley was hit by a car while he was biking and is now paralyzed.

https://nypost.com/2021/03/17/shawn-bradley-former-nba-center-paralyzed-in-bike-accident/

Former NBA player Shawn Bradley was left paralyzed after he was struck by an automobile while riding his bike on Jan. 20.

Bradley, a a 7-foot-6 center who played for the Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, revealed his injuries through a statement issued by the Mavericks.

The 48-year-old, one of the tallest NBA players in history, says he was hit from behind while biking near his St. George, Utah, home. The accident caused a traumatic spinal cord injury, resulting in a neck fusion surgery that has seen him hospitalized for the last eight weeks and undergoing rehabilitation.


Can't take anything for granted in life.

Kyrie mentioned the excitement of playing against LeVert after the cancer diagnosis. So, I’m inclined to believe it’s actual groin soreness from practice.

Hopefully it’s nothing too serious. I’m pretty sure he will miss the Pistons game too.

This is crazy, makes the trade for Harden that much of a no brainer, he is going to have to carry again. I hope the guys step up cause we need to account for some serious points.

This is LeVert’s first game in Indianapolis. How fitting it’s against us.

Dang, Kyrie is out again. I know it's no use wishing for something that will never happen, it's just unfortunate that he is always the one being covered for, and not healthy enough to offer cover to our other stars. James and Deandre need a night off like nobody's business, but we are going to have to rely on them tonight more than ever. Get well soon, KAI, you've been amazing when available.

Indy has been a tough matchup for us recently, with their size, shooting and defense. Caris is going for 40 on like 23 shots, I can feel it. He's always been the type to have below average efficiency for a couple of weeks, and then go red hot one night.

An A game on both ends from Claxton would be a godsend, and if he's rolling, I'd love to see Nash extend his minutes.

Let's roll up our sleeves, men. It's gonna be a blue collar night. Go Brooklyn!

Deandre again is a defensive liability and Brown has regressed. What happened to his floater???

We might be screwed. No rebounding at all. Missed shots galore.

when we aren’t steamrolling it’s pretty clear vet minimums make a lot of our plating roster.
This is a game Harris/Spencer contract/MLE(usually a 24-30mpg player if fully used/DJ would have to be more active if we consider who gets money.

We can’t defend them at all.

And Sabonis is dominating right now. Last game was most likely a fluke, Deandre is usually his punching bag.

Griffin has to be an upgrade for Brown. At least we have that coming. We really need rebounding and Deandre is not a starting center anymore.

Return to Brooklyn Nets
