Move the ball and defend the defensive glass and we'll win.

Raps are home and playing for pride. They do not want to get swept by anyone, in particular a division rival.

Very important game for us. The time off may work against us. I am confidant that JV will have us prepared.

Both Seth and Patty are questionable for tonight. Meanwhile the Raps will be with out Anunoby, Porter Jr and Achiuwa

Key game and we should be basically healthy.

Raptors will be desperate though after losing 3 in a row. Coaching will be KEY.

Important game. We've had a ton of time off so we should be fresh and ready to roll.

The Nets know how to break me once I get excited for the team so I'm expecting a blowout loss :lol:

This is gonna be a real test for the Ben + Claxton pairing. Last time we played Toronto, I knew we'd crush them because Nurse can't help but triple team KD. With Kyrie, Royce, and Joe - that's a recipe for disaster. With Ben + Clax on the floor, that strategy is way more viable. We gotta show that we're prepared against gimmicky defenses that trap KD.

Speaking of that, a very interesting ND article dropped today about specific differences in the way Nash & JV trained the team.

I love these behind-the-scenes reports, and maybe this one explains part of why the team tuned Nash out over time..

TJ is game breaker. In a month or two he will be 2-3 best player.

Mark my words.

Ben better start showing us some more offense. Today is a practice game. Better show up, I'll be definitely circling him out.

Gary Trent Jr is out, thats another piece down for Toronto. Nets need to dominate.

I don't even want to say what NI been talking about entire day. Any team can win during dog days. If we ain't going to show up, they well coached team that will smoke your azz.

I just want to concentrate on our team and how Ben and TJ going to progress. They very important to us. If they ain't 100% in a next month, we in some deep azz trouble.

We ain't beating Saltics and Greek without them two period. I didn't see that happened past year.

16 different starting line up for Craptors, most in NBA. We had 18 last year, only team to beat that lol.

Ben + Clax failed big time in the first offensively. Hopefully we pick it up. We've let Toronto get confident on defense.

This pace is not doing us any favors. JV better figure some out.

I hate it when KD has to be playmaker in a half court. We get our azz whipped that way.
