Book's having a great game. 24, 9 and 5 already on 70% shooting, 67% from 3, 88% from the line. 2 turnovers but that's on 9 assists, so still 4.5/1 ratio.

I thought Damion Lee retired? Good news he’s still on our team and off crutches.

Not this year and particularly not as of late.


We never told ArksNets that CP3 is no longer on our team and we aren’t clutch in crunch time.


I liked CP3 on the Suns , I think he was at least a vocal leader (even when injured)and kept players honest , I struggle to point your vocal leader right now

Probably. I'm surprised the Nets were out to a lead and it's close as bad as Bridges and Cam Thomas are shooting. A combined 6 for 22 (27%), while KD, Book and Beal are a combined 18 for 29 (62%).

Not many teams have vocal leaders it seems. Besides CP3, Lebron, Draymond, Giannis, etc how many are vocal leaders that yell at teammates to be better and get them to gel as a unit?

Nets losing Jarrett Allen hurts as they don’t have any bigs to bother or box out Nurkić.

I'm surprised they go in as much as they do. I remember Portland fans saying he will just throw it up there and hope it goes in. They were right.

Claxton is a twig that's why.

As much as I like Claxton he's just too thin and gets pushed around by bigger players.

Can someone pls tell that dipsh- Kevin Young that it makes no sense to keep Nurk atop the 3pt line unless at least 1 person is gonna cut.

Man I know they have 3 top shelf players but this offense is dreadful to watch. No two man game, no cutting, it's just iso all night or relentless high screens.
