Brooklyn Nets 10-4 when AK47 plays, 8-2 since his return

I think sometimes we underestimate certain players value to teams. Although he's not a major piece to the team, he's still a very useful player that contributes in many ways.

One single player could make a big difference, doesn't even need to be a starter.

I expect the Nets to take the Atlantic when it's all said and done, finish in the 3 or 4 slot and make a very interesting second round matchup with the Heat or Pacers.

Lol we still get swept by both heat or pacers. Relax people

Brooklyn is in the playoffs after that disastrous start lol. I still think they could end up 3rd or 4th.

short and sweet

He cost us a Good pick last year being so damn productive.

Incredibly efficient, Incredible defender, Really under-rated player, Too bad he'll miss a third of the season because he's doing some raids on wow....Oh i mean Back Spasms....yeah thats believable!

Elite D and doesn't need the ball in his hand to make a positive difference on your team, He'll hit over 45% of his shots, rebound well and lock down shooting guards to Power Forwards

However Brooklyn are still in the middle of the road and if they are going to have to rely on AK to pull them in the eastern finals they are in some pretty bad situation. He made the timberwolves "Not suck heaps" last year being around carrying injuries, He's not someone who can carry a team

[Colbinii]

He some how kept the Wolves in the playoff race last year without Kevin Love. As long as his minutes are limited and he sits out on b2b, he can still have a HUGE impact on a game.

[JMaine518]

He made a bunch of key plays to keep is on this game and previous wins. Easily my favorite player on the team. He brings energy and effort even when not scoring the ball.

Why are we calling him AK47? When was the last time Andrei Kirilenko was relevant?

[frothbrain]

Nets will be a tough out in the 1st round.

[Rich Rane]

Should we start calling "Dr. J" and "Magic" Julius and Ervin since they retired long ago?

What does relevance have to do with calling someone by their well known nickname? And what is your definition of relevance? He's a pretty damn good player.

[Ahmed1212]

Game against the Raptors this sat will sort of determine who's likely to come out on top of the atlantic. Both teams playing well lately.

[StocktonShorts]

Always loved AK. And yes, he is and was often under-appreciated.

Really?

[Winglish]

AK was my favorite Jazz man for years. He contributes poitively in every way.

I would also like to volunteer to be Masha's hall pass if Andrei reciprocates that deal.

Nice.

[lakersin4]

I still remember the early yahoo leagues when some people would sleep on AK stuffing the stat sheet cuz he wasn't a big scorer & you could steal him in the 2nd round. Won many a leagues thanks to AK.

[richboy]

Going into the year I felt he was there 3rd best player. It is too bad Lopez is out. Would have been nice to see Nets with Ak and Lopez.

[jc23]

i think both ny teams make the playoffs.

[TripleMKE]

And their next game is vs Toronto?
