]The Jazz will be without Rudy and Joe Ingles, Clarkson questionable. Mitchell is supposedly a go tonight.

We will be without LMA, KD and Joe

Both team are 3-7 of their last 10 games and looking to regain their footing. Both teams are also close record wise. Depending on a lot of things both teams could make it to the finals.

This is a critical game for us. Moral is obviously low right now and a win against a good team would mean a lot.

We need to avoid sloppy play that leads to turn overs. We have to at least keep it close, we can't fall behind in the first quarter with fresh legs. And we have to play better defense.

I am waging that we will be blown out.

Absolutely no confidence that we pull this one out despite the Jazz missing key players.

Jazz- 114 Nets 99. That will be my prediction; the Nets morale and effort is down and there is a big rift internally which is affecting the players' play. Is this a deliberate attempt by the Nets to get Kyrie for as many games as possible in the POS? Possibly but it sucks as a fan to see this team constantly lose and the upper echelon run away with the top 4 seeds.

I dont think effort is down. i think we actually played with great effor this trip. Harden vs. the kings to me was more injury/fatigue then effort. he shouldnt have played.

This is probably the turning point of the season.

What level of pride does this team have left?

Are we going to lose 7 in a row. Plunge ourself into the play in. Destroy basically all our title hopes.

Or can we emerge from a low point? Put together some wins. Survive until KD returns.

Its up to this team as a unit.

I don't think Nash is getting fired no matter what this season. So this is the best we have got.

So in the Kings postgame Harden implied he wasn't tired & that he was fine. Now 2 days later he has hamstring tightness? Something is going on & I don't buy it's injury related.

I think Harden just needs some time off. Thats fine.

But we need to find a way to win without him. I don't buy that we don't have the talent.

Jazz without Gobert are not good at all. If Kyrie Nets can almost beat GS they can beat this Jazz team.

Harden does not want Kyrie here and vice versa. Neither want the other, I think this goes back to pre mandate/vaxx nonsense. Next season it will be Kyrie/KD and role players. Harden is gone, no way he deals with this anymore. The question really is when did Kyrie start growing a dislike for Harden.....We know the reasons for Harden not wanting to play with Kyrie; but the reverse question must be asked....And will eventually be answered.

A Harden trade means bye bye officially to the Championship run this year and will have to reset next year.

Depends on what we get back in return.

I'm 100% fine with Harden being traded. Its not working anymore.

When Harden said “I will give him a shot myself jokingly”. This was when they were still like a couple.

A game later, Kyrie said “ KD’s injury doesn’t change my decision over vaccination.” That probably got Harden.probably got KD too but KD be chilling not Harden who wants a chip more than anything.

Just speculation. But If Harden wants out, might as well trade him now.

Damn. Covington gone. We not getting any one.

Clip got a **** bargain. They are next years favourite to win it all.

Harden's clearly been injured since the 2nd round series vs the Bucks.. Kyrie's unwillingness to play basketball the first few months of the season + Harris's injury meant Harden had to tough it out and help KD carry the Nets so that the championship thing has a chance.. Now it seems Harden is going to take off away games so that Kyrie can understand what KD/Harden have been dealing with.

However the Nets will win pretty easily tonight.. rest of the season if they dont deal Harden though, doesn't look great for them since there are zero usable parts outside of the main 3 that can step up and KD/Harden need to rest injuries.

Nets will win pretty easily? I hope so but how so?
