Hope Paolo's gotten over whatever illness was ailing him, that second half against ATL was ugly without him.

Mosley's says Paolo will go through his pre-game routine and see how he feels. He was at shootaround this morning.
He's officially considered a game-time decision tonight.

Thankfully it doesn't sound like it was all that bad.

Glad to hear about Isaac, must have been a bad bug for Paolo. Flu maybe?

If Paolo is out, this is an automatic L.
And even if he plays, for whatever reason this team has that Atlanta Hawks Aura.
Bridges turns into a young MJ everytime he plays us and it's pretty annoying. Our defense gets destroyed by these 2 two teams.
We really need Franz to step it up and take it to that next level.

I imagine Paolo will play as that is who he is. I wont be mad if he doesn't play and we take an L.

Dont feel good about this one. If Orl can get up 10 points or sonearly on, I'll feel a bit better. But Nets will scrape and claw in a dogfight and could turn us over again.

Without Paolo I still think we are favored. It was a three point swing in the spread against the Hawks, so we'd still be two possession favorites against the Nets. Lots of advantages. We are at home and the Nets are on a back-to-back.
Honestly, we are a defense first team so we should be able to play our game without him.

I'll be at the game. I really hope we don't blow this one. If we are truly a team that has turn the corner foe the better this should be a game we win. Honestly with out without paolo.
Issac and potentially paolo being out honestly give me hope though since for some odd reason this garbage team gives us fits. Seems like a lot of people are on the same page with not feeling good about this one.
I really hope we can pull out a win and hopefully not a pistons game type of win and send these guys packing to never see them again this season.

They give us fits because we are a driving offensive team and they have a bunch of rim protection and tough, athletic defenders. I doubt anything changes tonight unless we have a hot shooting night.

This is another one where I'm kinda looking at the betting line side-eyed. The Nets have our number and we're without JI and probably Paolo (?).
That being said, we're at home and the Nets are not that good, so we should still have a chance to win, regardless.

I actually think that aside from their Cs they are a short team for us. They have a bunch of 6'7 and below wings like DFS Cam and etc. We just need to pull out the shotblocking Claxton and Sharpe then our guys can drive it through.

well.. ATL aren't supposed to be that good as well but they always spank us. We aren't as good as BOS but we managed to beat theam 4 times out of 5??? lol Some teams just have each others number.

I came down with something 12 days ago and it was like I got hit by a truck. I've been fine now for over a week, but I tested negative for covid and the flu. So there's stuff going around right now that's nasty even without being covid or flu.
