Not a single minute on either Banton, Flynn, Dowtin smh


It was one of the more bizarre coaching decisions I’ve seen from this team in a while.

Fred is never held accountable for poor play from either the coaching staff or media. It's crazy.

I lost the respect for this guy when he said he was Bargnani fan and Raps treated him badly. :lol:

He said he talked to Bargnani's coach in Italy and thought he was gonna be the next Arvydas. :lol:

Still like his videos though. We all have been high on guys that ended up being total letdowns. I thought Derrick Williams was gonna be good based off how he looked in Arizona.


yeah i just didn't like the whole "Im protective of Scottie because of what happened to Bargs". Ballers or people who played a lot of organized sports always blame coaches or situation never the player

Nick Thibs out doing himself last night. What was the point of playing the starters such heavy minutes in that game? Sending a message? **** bizarre if you ask me. When they're off they are hard as heck to watch. Between watching the Raptors and Canucks this week my eyes are damaged. Scottie doesn't look right. Sloppy play by him.

I mean, they did make it close within a minute left and forced the Nets to close it out with their starters. Scottie looked really right in the very next game. He may be going through some stuff, but we should have experience by now to not worry when good players are going through rough patches. If he's not healthy they'll shut him down. If he's overburdened with expectations he'll work his way out of it. There's like exhibit A, B and C with Pascal, Fred and OG right in front of him.

^^It felt like the Nets were coasting. It did force them to play their main guys longer I suppose. Funny I never read anyone mention TJ Warren. He looks like he really leaned down. If he can stay healthy he's a huge addition.
