I didn't ask for that image to be implanted in my head, man.


To quote Chi Mcbride's character in Pushing Dasies, after Lee Pace made a vaguely erotic allusion about his romantic successes: Do you know how a mind works? You say "monkey in a bell hop costume driving a car," I see a monkey in a bell hop costume driving a car.

Anyway, it's absolutely nuts we won this game. I bailed before halftime. These highlights should be fun.


Great reference!

Does this change your outlook for the team? If it does, that's a problem. If it doesn't, that's a bigger problem.

It doesn’t. My opinion of TDS improved and Goga is who I thought he was. I don’t trust Cole or Houstan to do what they did often. Would love to see some consistency from either of them but it hasn’t happened yet. Great win though and congrats to that 4th quarter group for finding a way.

Above all else, my confidence in coach being the right guy continues to grow. He is legit and should be the front runner for COTY.

I knew us being Masochists would pay off. Being down 20 and still watching the game rewards us after all

I watched that entire game and I still can't comprehend how we won that game.

Caleb is better than Jett in the one thing they are expected to do on the court (and his release is more aesthetically pleasing), so stop with the politics and develop him as 3 and D option.

Brooklyn win probability was at 99% at 7:43 left in the fourth. :lol: They didn't account for the tank, I think.

also shout out to cleaning up the turnovers at the game went, finishing with a 'normal' 13.

They just beat the Bucks 3 days ago. They need to trade a few more players to tank.

I was pissed so I stopped watching lol. But I told ya Tristan da Silva is the real deal. He is a rookie there is gonna be ups & downs but there is no denying the dude can hoop.

Could Goga be moving into Most Improved territory? He’s a legit starter and then some…even without considering his deal, there’s not a whole lot of Centers he’d be outmatched by. He’s playing with a lot more “bully” too…like somebody told him how big, strong, and skilled he is and, all of a sudden, he understands that he’s a beast.

I trade Cole on here twice a day and three times on Sundays…but there’s no player who I’m happier for when he delivers. :nod:

The more minutes da Silva gets, the more he grows…he could easily be an All-Rookie team guy if he maintains this awesome poise & confidence.

My bad, than. I thought one of the pods I use to listen discussed how Nets do not own their picks due to Harden trade.


Last one is in ‘27 & that might even be a swap

He’s just what we needed, not another project…and he’s accelerating even faster with all of this pt…he’s seizing the opportunity.
