This is going to be a tough game. I'm almost expecting a loss here, with 5 straight wins on the line.

Just want Lopez to continue Hulking and our team NOT to avoid/ignore him if he has the hot hand...

I expect us to struggle with Derozan though...

Can our bench please be more supportive on floor?

I don't know why we don't run a two man game between Johnson and Lopez to close out the 2nd and 4th qtrs. Doing so would keep the ball out of Jack's hands.

Deron should look to destroy Vasquez. We have a greater chance when he plays aggressive

Fun Fact: Jack ranks as the 76th best PG in the league with a -4.55 per game. I expect him to get torched by Lou Williams and finish -15 in 17 minutes as usual.

This should have always been an option. I would love to see Two man game with DWill (Besides PnR), AA, Brown, MT3 and Bogs.

With AA, Brown and bogs, I want to also see more give and goes with Lopez in the post. Give Lopez ball in the post then Go quickly with cuts/slashes towards the basket. Then Lopez with a quick pass back to them. .

Another thing to look out for in the Second Unit is JJ at PF getting torched by Paterson.

Hollins continues to insist on playing JJ at PF. JJ cant guard Paterson. Hollins better play CJ against Paterson. CJ did a great job guarding Paterson in one those previous games. JJ should never play PF again even if opposing team goes small. Thad is a better defender than JJ. CJ is a rookie but I would rather have him play instead of JJ. Lopez needs a help defender at PF.

I gained a whole lot of respect for joe in that series, I just hope he can finish the season this way and play that great in the playoffs. He destroyed toronto almost by himself.

I COME IN PEACE

Nets Fans : to what do you attribute your teams recent surge?

I'm excited to watch this game.

Hope for a good one.

Brook having the best stretch of his career and our two rookies Bogdanovic and Markel Brown emerging into legitimate players is largely why the Nets have won 8 out of 10.

I know we're all happy about Brook's GW shot last game (even though I think it was a self-pass and therefore travel lol) but he definitely wasn't as dominant as he was before.

Too many jumpers and jumpshots. And he was out on the perimeter way too much. I'm hoping it was just a down game (every great player has them) and he'll go back to what made him so good during the previous 8-9 games.

If teams are adjusting and trying to keep Brook out of the paint, he needs to find other ways to be effective and make his presence felt. IMO, if he plays the way he did last game, I think we'll lose tonight.

I'm not blaming Brook at all. He's been the best player on the team post-ASB by far. I'm just pointing out how important he is to beating decent teams. We barely beat the tanking Knickss and while the bench, led by Jack, destroyed our sizable lead on several occasions, the starters were given ample time to put it away again and they couldn't do it.

We need this win!

Our Coach has finally accepted to abandon SOME of his most ridiculously stubborn concepts. Now he needs to let go of a few more TONIGHT.
