As Casey said before the 4th quarter on NBA TV, this was him putting the pedal to the metal............

Good thing Lowry hit that buzzer beater. We needed the three points.

That one was way too close for comfort but the Nets were bound to make a run. Those players are too proud to be blown out. Still we have the series lead, just gotta win 1 more game and we're in the second round.

ROFL that's awesome.

I've always thought that instead of people waving arms/sticks randomly, the whole section should sway back and forth in unison to throw the shooter off.

Definitely a better outcome than a blowout win but we almost didn't come away with a win where we were up 20+.

Raps played so bad it felt like a loss.

VAL >>>>>>>> EVERYONE

WTF was Casey doing putting Chuck Hayes in with about 7-8 mins to go instead of Val?

They'll be very desperate in game 6, so we have to make sure to come out strong. Also, we need to consistently go to Valanciunas in the post, as he will get on a roll and never touch the ball again.

Just dumb decisions the entire 4th quarter. All the way from the teams lack of effort, Caseys bizarre infatuation with Salmons & Hayes, Amir's 2 4PT fouls, DeMar potentially getting called for goaltending and Vasquez's dumb inbounds pass. Casey needs to rip this team a new one after the game.

The only thing I blame Casey for is choosing to play Salmons and Hayes over Fields and JV. The team came out with no effort specifically the bench. Patterson didn't wanna shoot, Ross went iso ball, DeMar threw up dumb shots and Vasquez with lazy passes. Just poor poor execution and I hope Casey uses no vaseline when he goes in raw on the team.

BRkLN can study how easy it was to walk into our paint and score.


We'll be doing some Laundry for next game. I hope.

Bad moves by Casey.

Leaving JV on the bench too long and not doubling JJ almost lost us the game.
