This game is critical. We absolutely cannot afford a loss here. A win all but secures the 7th seed and homecourt in the play in round and knocks Cleveland down to 8th.

KD and Kyrie need to bring the nukes tonight. No excuses.

Under reported caveat: While this is not the 2nd of a back-to-back we are playing our 3rd game in 4 nights and have been awful in those scenarios as well. They have had 3 days off. This is a huge game for them, they lose and they probably fall to 9, not 8, and would have to win 2 play-in games.

this will be tough. having it at home helps a ton.

We win this we are in great shape, on the flip side, a loss is a guanteed 9 or 10 seed for us....

Heat clinched the 1, they likely sit everyone and gift the Hawks a win. The Hawks finish up with the rockets, which basically ensures they go 2-0 the rest of the way:

Hawks 44-38 (unless something crazy happens)

If we lose to cleveland they finish at worst 44-38.

Not to mention, Kyrie and KD has played whole 2nd halves....

Maybe on Sunday they need to sit out and stop playing after the 1st half... definitely KD maybe Kyrie can still play some to get further conditioning.

This game is the season. If we lose we basically have no shot.

Going to need a big game from Kyrie. And some defense.

No dumb lineups by Nash.

Won't be surprised at all if we lose. This team has been a failure at every level.

I want this team to get a big lead early and never relinquish that lead. Let’s have a drama free game tonight.

I want to win but another part of me wants us to flame out. So we can finally fire Nash and get competent coach so we can finally see our team win a chip. I've been a Nets fan since the Todd maculloh days, we have never had a Nets team with this much talent. This moron Nash is ruining it.

This one here will pretty much tell us where we'll get seeded. Win tonight almost guarantees us 7th seed. Indy tanking hard.

ATL playing vs Miami starters today. That game is 50/50, let's hope Heat will look out here. We hold tie breaker. With our win and their loss we'll be higher seed no matter what.

Charlotte also will be playing vs Bulls starters tonight. They hold h2h tie breaker vs us but, in 3 way tie we have upper hand. Anyway, them losing and us winning gives us breathing space. We will be higher seed no matter what, they game behind.

Bucks steamrolling Pistons. They'll be 2nd seed with one more win vs Cavs. Mobley will be back for that game. Saltics still have a chance to get 2nd seed with Bucks loss and their win over Griz. Griz will be on a 2nd night of b2b.

This Kyrie, Brown, Kess, KD and Nic line up is deadly efficient and killers on D. Them numbers back up eye test.

Nets looking locked in. Love to see it.

Now that James Johnson is gone, hopefully Nash can finally settle the rotation.

Will be awesome once Dragic is back.

Some of the stuff Kyrie does shouldn’t be possible and especially not with that much ease/efficiency

KD is a bad man.

We suck. But when we have KD there's hope.

Kyrie needs to step it up. Enough bad games from him.
