Word. Let's get back to the meat and potatoes of it, actual basketball talk...

Man I hate flawed wins! Much would have preferred a perfect loss!
- Knicks shot terribly
Yeah that can happen sometimes in a loss, especially when your team relies so heavily on jumpers, bland iso offense and an awful second option like Smith.
- Nets were unreal from 3-point land
Happens sometimes when you have good three point shooters getting mainly good looks.
- Knicks without pg and back up center
Happens sometimes when your backup centers are old. Also, I recall quite well when you beat us without Lopez you guys just clowning on it as if it was the same as you missing Camby when Lopez has been our best player this season and is our second best overall player.
- Nets turnovers are a problem if you have not noticed
I didn't because because despite them we won and it was out of character for our squad anyway, no reason to act like it's been a long running problem for the Nets.
Knicks still found a way to come back through this but continued to have trouble creating shots without Felton and they were 29% from FG...
Moral victories, love those!
Nets had like 20 turnovers and were shooting lights out. Still it was close today...It's a weak loss, nothing serious
It's not that serious, sort of.
In the grande scheme of things it's only one game.
But it was a division game versus a heated rival in which I saw your fan base and actual players talking A LOT of smack.
And it was a game during a heated race for the division and playoff seeding that will go on til the last week of the season.
And the Nets are now 12 and 2 under PJ and the Knicks are 6 and 8 during that same span.
Before I thought we'd make it interesting, but wins like these are cementing my opinion that the Nets are going to take the division by season's end.
The Knicks might find themselves as the 5 or 6 seed and another first round exit at this rate.
