nets top scorer, thomas, has been hurt and they just traded away shreoder.
we will be without scottie and iq. most likely without yak and bruce.
collective records for both teams is 17-36.
LET'S NBA!

Should we be calling it a must lose game for the tank?

Seems like a perfect time to rest RJ... we've been using him heavily and I care about his well being longterm

As a member of Team Tank I hope we lose this game. But I am not sure how we could lose it with Brooklyn without Schroder and Thomas.
I guess if none of Poeltl, Barnes , I guess maybe Brooklyn can win this game.
Grange kinda hint that maybe Barnes could be available on Thursday. If so I think it’s an easy win for the Raptors.

Yes it is. It’s an absolute must lose game for “team tank”
In hockey we say often “a match de 4 points” or in English “a 4 pts game”.

Marks probably made that Schroder trade with an eye on this matchup

We are 4.5pt favs at the moment though. Well played, Marks. Well played indeed.

This would be been funnier if spoken by one of the RJ haters, instead of his biggest fan

A great example of how TWO develops talent. Throw out the youngest guys and traumatize them as a result of not even being close to ready for the NBA so it stunts their development.
I know this is a joke but some of the posters on here do think Chomche should get minutes.

Not Chomche, but Aron Baynes

Most important loss up to this point.
Charlotte sucking as bad as they are is terrible for business.

Charlotte has two games vs Washington coming up in next 2 weeks. Well get an idea of how committed they are to the tank then.

I’m interested to see this game to see body language and effort from Nets. Has to be a bit demoralizing to see Schröder get traded for nothing.
Also Fernandez, who I was hoping Raptors would hire, has been openly calling the team out in 2 of last 3 games post game. He’s said basically the effort sucks and if you don’t compete you won’t be playing or wearing a Brooklyn uniform next year.
I’m not sure if the goal is to make them quit on the season or if he doesn’t give a **** because the whole roster will be turned over next season…but it definitely isn’t the way to build rapport and culture or get players to buy in and willing to run through a wall for the coach.
