Yes, go get them. I believe Nets will get better game by game. I finally get a chance to go Barclays center tomorrow.

we might get blown out again. this looks like another bad matchup. thad deserves standing ovation and will probably have a monster game against us.

Win or lose, as long as they battle hard until the very end, I'll be happy...

im not ready to chalk this one up. pacers defense looked awful last night. i think we can score with them. they have alot of offense but they also have more poor defenders now then last year with teague/thad/ellis starting.

im not predicting a win but i like our chances alot better then last night. paces also gave up alot of second chances. we have size and are active.

this is a much much better matchup for him. gaurds for indiana arent strong defensively and they overall start 3 poor defenders. pick and roll should be there and the rotations wont be as outstanding as bostons where last night. turner isnt a bad defender but he isnt on horfords level either.

i think brook goes for 20 tomorrow

I really, really hope so.

I am hoping Brook wakes the hell up now. He needs to shut up the murmurs about him not fitting in the offense and getting traded.

It was rather embarrassing for him to be benched in the 2nd half for Luis freaking Scola.

its not about waking up. thats who brook is. he isnt a super aggressive guy. he will take what he gets. he isnt super competitive. he is really skilled and really efficient and can give you big scoring outputs... but usually just when it comes to him. he doesnt have a killer instinct. or even an aggresive instinct. if teams take away what he does, he will kind of disappear.

pacers are a better matchup. they cant really take away much. and if they do we will torch them elsewhere. we might lose but were going to score on them.

also he isnt some prideful guy. he wont be upset or embrarrased by a benching. he doesnt have a big ego. he is a team guy

The Pacers are not a good defensive team. Even dating to preseason but their offense is scary. Because of that and us being at home makes it a winnable game. Guys like Book, Jeremy, RHJ feed off the crowd and the openers usually have a fun crowd. I could see our bench looking better at home than on the road.

It comes down to rebounding, getting key stops and zeroing in on George. I don't expect any real defense against them.

First to 120 wins lol

That's true. you were at the game, right? Well, the TV cameras showed Lopez looking rattled on the bench, but that may be just his natural resting face lol.

i mean, he will get frustrated, especially with foul calls. but beyond that not much emotion.... not much competitive fire. wont ever get into it with a coach. not his personality.

somehow Lin has to find Brook as he said today. It seems they have not practiced PnRs a lot. It should be one of Nets main weapons before the motion offense gets better. Brook should be major scoring inside 6 feet instead of out 22-23 feet.

our motion offense was great last night. teams will focus on the pick and roll. we just need to keep doing what we did last night. trust the system and be aggressive on drives.
