Dude what the hell are u talking about taking cheap shots at u ? You literally comment on every post I make after a game, LITERALLY. And you always nit pick on any little thing. You sir are very delusional . I rarely comment on your crap because I know your always wrong and there will be even more egg on your face. You are crazy, I'm obsessed with u ? lmfaoooo bro I'm really dying over here you wish u had my bop chill out. Don't be mad cuz u can't soak the ism homie

Yup... every year. you make cheap shots the second you can. then you cry to the mods and disappear for a month,

I still stand by my comment, I don't see how we lose with all this fire power. Even if u wish Nash was the worst coach ever, we still have DAntoni and Vaughn in his ear so in a 7 games series things will get cleaned up and we will adjust. And if teams take us down to the wire we have 2 clutch guys in KD and Kyrie that isn't scared of the moment. So there's that.

We can obviously win. but if you cant see how we are vulnerable, you are delusional... and well, we already know you are delusional

I reported you for cursing and throwing our profanities after the mods told me to report you isntead of coming at you.

LMA boxing out and contesting shots has been a breath of fresh air. Offense also looks refreshed with no Harden ball.

To be fair, Harden himself prefers not to go "Harden ball." He did it out of necessity, and we wouldn't have won as much as we have over the last month without it. Now that we're getting healthier, I think he'll return to the lower-usage, quick-passing, efficient-shooting superstar we saw when he first arrived.

I'm fine with any style harden plays. its all winning basketball.

i would feel better if his threes fell at even league avg level again. he is 16 of his last 76 from three and shot just 25% in march.

Hey guys!

Remember that annoyingly optimistic dude who used to pop up in game threads after losses with a ray of sunshine? You know, the guy who used to say stuff like, "we're 5 missed free throws away from being undefeated at home" (not an actual quote, but you get the drift). Like, we were on the verge of greatness, and his entire message was to chill and enjoy the ride. Now we're there, we're in that nirvana of really really good basketball.

Where did that guy go, I wonder?

This right HERE is what will sustain our Big 3 for years to come.

Back in 2019:

Brooklyn’s locker room is infrequently very populated during the 90 minutes prior to tip off. When they aren’t drilling on-court warm ups, a large segment of the Nets’ roster is stationed in the team’s adjacent, expansive weight room, squeezing in a lower or upper body lift. A boisterous buffet of salmon, chicken, vegetables and some form of grain is offered in the players’ lounge. In the majority of each wood-panelled locker waits a clear, plastic, 12-ounce cup containing a pinkish fruit concoction. “This team, when it comes to health, when it comes to the training staff, is probably top two or three in the league,” says veteran forward Jared Dudley. “We have the most training staff. Our nutritionist travels with us all the time. When you eat healthy, and you try to stay hydrated with the right vitamins, you gotta have that.”

Prok as a team we shot 24% from 3. Maybe we have to look at what we had to work with and what other teams did.

I'm here with you to not pick. This team is loaded, my friend can we just enjoy the ride.

As I said I was ready to throw this game away. Guys I haven't watched LMA much, this guy is a weapon. Them others better watch out.

Now I see why Nash said DJ won't see min. It's damn obvious.

[GTR11]

Now I get why they threw tantrums and meltdowns. This guy still can play, now if we can use him right way...omg.

[GTR11]

Just went to see how they felt about the game, just to see another perspective.

You guys are right, because the wrong Hornets are shooting the ball and team is coming apart.

Kick Kyrie in the balls for that clowning on the sidelines.

Didn't go past that comment. Lmao entire League is on notice.

His efficiency should uptick once we have the full squad together again and he can focus on racking up dimes instead of having to post 40 point triple doubles to net a 4 point win.

Nice one

Offer still stands bud I'll hit you off with some cash for an avi or sig that reps how evil we are now.

[MrDollarBills]

Nash confirmed DJ has been demoted to the “Stay Ready” group.


Feels like the season just started lol

DJ now more than ever needs to keep his attitude positive, work hard in practice and in the gym and the next time his number gets called, come in and play hard.

It's his own fault that he got benched. Nash had to get in his ass in public and Harden has had to talk to him way too much for my liking. The last game his effort was putrid.

He can stay, be a good vet and help or maybe KD and Kyrie need to have a talk with him. I don't hate the guy but he did this to himself.

[MrDollarBills]

Things that I’ve heard from a particular poster, followed by the reality:

-Blake is a corpse, terrible defensively, will barely contribute...has been very good on both ends of the court and has added additional versatility to our lineups

Blake has been solid offensively in limited action. as i said, his ability to hit the 3 will decide whether he plays over jeff green when KD returns. his charges are a nice surprise, but overall on D hes been an immobile slug.

-Aldridge is a corpse, makes Blake look like Wilt, one of the worst defensive players in the league, shouldn’t play except for blowouts...posts a near double double in his first game with us, and had a serious defensive impact for us, helping us hold the opponent to 11 points in the 1st quarter

11 points on 10 shots in a blowout isnt something to beat your chest about. did nothing on defense but stand there like an immobile statue. this is a perfect display of what to worry about as far as mobility. We know that the offensive beast known as biyombo couldnt dominate him. not exactly a huge feat

-DJ is still a really good role player, way better than Griffin or Aldridge, should definitely get more minutes than at least Aldridge...DNP today and we didn’t miss a beat, and Aldridge had a better game than like 90% of DJ’s games this year

DJ is a really good role player and nearly every game he had this year has been better on both ends then what Aldridge did tonight. him being out of the rotation is due to nash being a moron. we will need his rim running and shot blocking in the playoffs.

-Nash is an awful coach that can’t coach a kindergarten team who is directly responsible for bad things that happen, and even when we do well, it’s in spite of him, easily the worst coach in the league...well:

Nash is the worst coach in the league and he proves it every game.

Prok LMA was disruptive at the rim defensively and on offense he added a new layer to what we could do with his ability to shoot and score in the paint. He was drawing double teams and moving the ball crisply to open shooters. You can't down play what he showed us last night, and it was a lot more than what we have seen from Jordan as of late.

[HardenGoat]

Hardens 3 point efficiency drops when he needs rest. The hamstring “tightness” is the gauge in red.

[Trader_Joe]

I wonder if LMA was promised the starting gig and why he signed.

I seriously doubt they would promise that.

It was obvious DJ was awful last game and he probably looked good in practice.

I dunno.. he seemingly could have had a big role in Miami while many thought his role could be limited here. then right out the gate Nash and LMA both talking about him starting.
