As you say that, he hits a LONG ONE.

I agree, but I don't want them to be talked about as favorites because the media starts creating turmoil. The Nets can beat just about anybody, but I still think we need another stretch big. The defensive turnaround this season from 30 to 8 is ridiculous.

Gotta put that **** away. Can't give them life; We just put up 109 against the best defense in the NBA and have contained them so far for most of the game, we didn't get anywhere close to this efficiency against Boston last year.

I wish playoffs start today , 4 months it’s a lot of time and injuries (along with Nash) was our biggest enemy last 2 years

I hope for once we can stay healthy

oof, losing to Durant to fouls is going to hurt down the stretch here.

Nets win.

This team has everything that we need. One more move for Cam/Seth could put us over the edge

9 in a row, 2 straight wins versus teams ahead of us.

We're now 3rd

1st place will be ours soon

what a great game. Good to see us continue to figure things and adapt come gametime. Thank you JV! No Durant there either for the last 2 minutes.

Loving the energy and dynamics the backup guys bring... Sumner has tremendous energy and speed, Yuta's got that shooter's stroke, Warren is a sneaky good rebounder and always in the right place at the right time.

Kyrie looked possessed tonight. Hope we're talking strictly about hoops from this point on with this guy.

Yep. KD, Claxton, Simmons, Yuta, Warren all have length.

This situation looks really good

Thoughts on Josh Richardson and Zach Collins to solidify the rotation? Richardson can provide some depth as a wing and can defend guards which I think is a weak area (depth) for the team right now. Collins is a 4/5 that could provide depth and play next to either Claxton and Simmons.

We played well on both ends. TJ was huge off the bench.

Have to give credit to the Cavs. They have a great young team. I really hope they keep it intact. I could see them really growing into top notch contender in a few seasons.

Another statement win, we dominated them this whole game. They got lucky that Garland caught fire and made it closer but we spanked them. Garland is very good though, but Mobley hasn't broke out the way I thought he would. That 7-11 combo KD/Kyrie did what they do. The team was draining 3s. Claxton and Simmons are soooo dominant defensively, and I'm so glad they're making it work offensively. Both those guys played top level defense today for sure.

TJ Warren give this team such a hugeeee boost with his bench scoring, he was awesome today and he helps on defense too. We need another 2 way player with Seph and Joe taking alot of games off. And even with them here we need a 2 way guy but we're probably going to have to trade one of them for that to happen. Ben is getting better but he needs to start looking for his own shot more too, we need more than just 4 pts from him. IDK why he hasn't even tried to develop a shot with how long he's been in the league so far. Off to Atlanta

I'm definitely down for that. Josh is a hustler and we could of used his defense today on a guy like Garland. Also other guys like Trae Young/Murray , Harden/Maxey, Smart/Brogdon, Haliburton/Heild, Herro. We need a smaller guard defender and he might be that guy. He's also not a liability on offense. Good find right there, and he can slide in and start for us at the 2. Zach is playing well too. It shouldn't take much to get them.
