Live look at Nash filling out tonights lineup card:


My daughter is ready to fill in if we need some center minutes

This roster has been absolutely decimated. It's hard to get excited right now ngl.

The Pelicans are on a 3 game losing streak, have brandon ingram back, and owe us one from the beating a week or so ago.

Kyrie needs to be closer to the knicks game then the Heat game for us to win and DJ needs to bring it. Good shooting games from TLC/Blake would go a long way

Give me 30 minutes of Alize Johnson tonight

Yeah this really isn't too encouraging. I know Marks is waiting for the squad to be at full health before making an addition (according to some reports), but we're not in a good place right now. Just got to hope no one else gets hurt with the increased workload they'll be faced with.

Yeah, definitely tough to get excited for these games. We barely have enough guys to hit the minimum roster number. And we can't kill our starters chasing these wins.

Hopefully we get a good DJ game tonight and lots of Alize Johnson.

I'm looking forward to minutes for Alize. A lineup with Him and Bruce brown is gonna be scrappy. And kyrie is always worth the price of admission. he admitted he hurt us the end of last game, he typically follows those up with better performances

Pelicans are really awful defensively especially vs the three. if shamet shoots like he did and harris is what we typically expect we can win this one.

Our guys are dropping like flys....The loss of Nic is really going to hurt, and what really sucks is that with Nic out Reggie might have gotten some PT. I had heard some rumors a few weeks ago that we were considering buying out DeAndre, that would have been a disaster.

On this Mike James rumor. If we did sign him would he be eligible for the playoffs?

LOL we are not winning this game with half our roster

Since he wasnt on another roster then yes, i believe so

this one is going to be tough, I don't like our chances but I'm tuning in. Wwe're going to need a 40 point game by Kyrie and Shamet or Joe needs to step up. Blake too.

Both Joe n Shamet need to be more offensive tonight...

Kyrie's had 2 "bad" games in a row - so I wouldn't be surprised if he goes off. New Orleans is really bad defensively too.

I think we have a good chance to win but man it's hard to get excited. We're getting close to playoff time and we should be clicking. Not playing an 8 man roster on the 1st day of a B2B.

The Harden news is a bitter pill. Heal up soon, MVP.

On the bright side, Kyrie usually is at his best in these back against the wall situations. I hope we can mentally regroup, and come out aggressive against a team that is licking their wounds. Go Brooklyn.

Sounds like we'll be lucky to see Harden again this year.

I'm not an optimist or a pessimist. I'm just a realist and that's what it sounds like to me.

It's a real shame we could never keep the BIG 3 healthy because we really had a championship team.

For me it's IMPOSSIBLE to get excited.

Marks built a championship team that got sabotaged by injuries.

There's been some tough times for Nets fans, but considering what we had in our grasp, this might be the worst.

We're getting close to worst case scenario here.

Harden out indefinitely.

Yesterday, they said the KD injury was fine - not worth a scan. Now he got a scan and there's "nothing alarming" but he's out until at least next week.

Nic is probably out for at least 7 to 10 days.

Feels like no one on our injury report is close to returning and we're just running out of bodies. We're gonna kill our healthy players just trying to get through this stretch. We need to sign some G League guys or whatever ASAP.

This situation is quickly turning south.

How anyone can be confident that we will have a full squad in the playoffs is beyond me. That hamstring injury to Harden is not going away anytime soon and God knows how long KD can stay on the court before he gets injured again.

It's just our luck that we land three top 15 players and they can't even stay in the line up.

Yeah, I've pretty much given up any hope of winning this year. It's over.

We look awful. It won't shock me if we go on a losing streak and Milwaukee overtakes us.
