Middleton is lucky there.

[ReasonablySober]

God that was dirty as ****.

[ReddoverKobe]

Harden almost undercuts Giannis. Blake flopping around and now this. No need to hurt anyone Nets

[Goomba3666]

Good.

Get Harden out of the game.
Get the ball in the hands of KD.
Watch double teams come.
Find the open teammate.

Simple basketball.

[levon]

this is such an OP call, jeez

the NBA really overcorrected for Zaza on Kawhi but you can still dive headfirst into people's legs if the ball is loose

[picc]

Not everyone keeps a constant watch on the Brooklyn and LA retirement homes

You're posting on an nba basketball board obsessed with both. So that makes less than no sense.

Obsessed with both? This might be the first time I said anything about either team in months but ok

The board is obsessed with both. Suggesting its easy to miss activity surrounding these teams while posting here is inane.

0 TOs by MIL so far, Nets gotta pick up the pressure and force tougher sets. Also MIL doing a real nice job playing within their flow and not doing too much, I like it.

How, I'm sure i saw one from Giannis I think, around FT line

Middleton is lucky didn't really hurt himself because of Aldridge.

[Goomba3666]

Never understood how you can be a fan of basketball AND simultaneously enjoy watching Harden with the basketball in his hands. What an ugly brand of hoops.

[og15]

I remember someone talking about Aldridge's closeouts and how he has the foot twitch or whatever where he extends his foot again

Watch on YouTube

Blake has really changed as a defender. His stance is so much better than it was in his Clipper days. Better focus too.

[infinite11285]

The magnifying glass is going to refine on World B. Flat with each Nets loss/slow start.

Yeah, they have a scapegoat in Kyrie, however, so far in the game, the Nets just aren't playing with consistent energy. They are just jogging back on the defensive end, and just coasting.

I agree they’re currently being out worked, but not having a dynamic guard that can put up 25 to set the pace due to a syringe will be an ongoing stickler during post game interviews.

[jehosafats]

Brooklyn has a crazy freelance offense. Maybe two players touch the ball on any given possession.

Harden is extremely difficult to watch the guy is just so damn effective it's really hard to knock the results.

[nzahir]

Nets got nobody besides Harden and Durant. They desperately need Kyrie out there.

Oh this is a **** JOKE

Mills is 5/5 from 3 and saving KD from being embarrassed rn

Joe Harris is a top 5 shooter in the NBA

Blake?

Bruce Brown?

Claxton?

LMA and Milsap still have something in the tank

When you say 'results', I'm assuming you're talking about everything except winning.

lol an hour ago they were still favorites without Kyrie

[trickshot]

who let these guys sign Patty fn mIlls?

[Goomba3666]

Keep that lazy, slow trotting, turkey neck ball hog on the bench please, Nash.

[Goomba3666]

KD with the ball in his hands on the low block has been the best offense in basketball for the last few years.
