Thats just great effort by the Nets. You wonder how much better they could be if they didnt have 30+ million wasting away on the roster

This would eclipse that OKC game as the worst of the season.

As much firepower as the Suns have with Durant you wonder are they going to have just outgun everybody every game because they’re going to miss Bridges and Johnson’s defense.

Thunder showing out. This team plays such beautiful team basketball. No one is selfish. I was skeptical about Daegnault at first but he is a HELLUVA coach. I'll be honest I barely watched last year because of the pathetic lineups we were putting out with dudes on 10 day contracts. We have so much young talent. J-Dub, Giddey, Dort, J-Will, JRE. Isaiah Joe who was unheard of before this season. Love to see the Thunder legend Daequan Cook out there as well!!

Paul 0-3 in 18 mins. Do you think they can win if he's just washed?

Probably not with how talented the rest of the league is. Says more about the league than any slight on those two.

Lillard getting nearly as embarrassingly bad on defense as Beal.

There's a big difference between the last three players to score 70+ and the previous two...

The 2nd rate Nets being up double digits in the 4th quarter after being down 22 in the first quarter is just wow. Impressive effort from them.

Suns better hope they win it all this year.

Bridges is a fantastic player man. An absolute killer in the midrange. Just a great two way player.
