Jaylen Brown is out with a groin injury.

The odds are evened now. Let's win this.

Not expecting a win here by any means, but it will be interesting to see how we hold up without Durant in a number of ways.

- Offensively, can you still play Clax and Ben together without the ultimate bucketgetter in KD. Kyrie is going to see a lot of hard doubles in these Clax/Ben lineups until someone can prove they can be a reliable secondary scorer/playmaker.

- Defensively we might miss him even more, KD has been a total eraser this season, a guy that teams won't go at 1v1 but also provides elite level rim protection. We suddenly go from a pretty big team defensively to undersized.

- How will JV adjust, he's been doing great so far just keeping the gameplan simple and letting our talent win out. However take KD away and you can't roll out the same gameplan and expect to win. The Pacers game with our G-League squad showed a glimpse that JV might be up to it, now let's see it over multiple games.

Weird idea to start Kyrie on Tatum but whatever

Great 6 minutes to start the game. The team is locked in and playing hard.

So far so good. Everyone is stepping up.

Simmons + 4 shooters. Ben needs to take his man off the dribble every time down

Tatum got away with murder by elbowing Kyrie like that. If Nets breathe on any team, it's a foul

Ben needs to attack the basket

Joe Harris starting looks so much better. all mental with him atp

Looking decent so far, TJ still got it.

I'd like to see more Sumner and us pushing the pace more given they're on a b2b.

Interesting to see Boston show Ben some respect on defense. They had Tatum on him and put Kornet on TJ Warren. Maybe they're just trying to shut down the dribble hand offs.

He's awesome when he starts and awful off the bench. It seems like a rhythm thing. As if he gets ice cold if there's too much time between shoot around and him getting in the game. It's something Vaughn needs to think about. Maybe start Harris and bring Royce off the bench. Royce can still play more minutes.

Ben is COOKING

Ben is responsible for 20+ points. I don't wanna hear sh*t

GTR11 · Post #37 » by **GTR11** » Fri Jan 13, 2023 1:20 am

Game of runs. We need more from TJ.

NetsWorld · Post #38 » by **NetsWorld** » Fri Jan 13, 2023 1:20 am

Don't like how the Nets allow the C's move the ball so freely like that and give up open threes. Boston's D is not allowing us to shoot comfortably, we need to do the same to them.

Worst part of Ben's game right now is the fouls.

3 of the softest and avoidable fouls. He gotta be better

No doubt, but Reggie also pointed out that Kornet cheats on him. He has to be aggressive and stay away from dumb fouls.

All 3 fouls came on Tatum touch fouls. Those have to be eliminated from now on.

Other than that Ben did good. He hits them where iy hurts most. He pushes the ball and pass to open guys.
