GT: Bulls vs. Nets - Monday, 02/26/18, 7:30pm EST #DrazanPetrovicNight

[LKIRNets]

We matched last years win total and we still have 21 games to go.... like last year we will get a lot of freebie wins playing hard vs. tanking teams and playoff teams resting guys.

i think finishing somehwre between .400 and .500 over the last 21 is within reason.

27-30 wins seasons like a fair bet.

+7 to +10 wins trading our best player, overhauling the roster, going youth movement and not even focusing on winning with development being first and guys taking huge strides

what a job by Kenny and his staff.

Positive progression and development year. The burden is off their shoulders now.

[All Nets]

Great win tonight, refreshing to see. Loved some nice passes to Fro by Dinwiddie and Dlo. But above it all, the ball movement and spacing leading to open 3s for us tonight were back, which is key to our offense going forward and into the next few seasons. In that type of offense, Fro proves his worth.

an absolutely spectacular job, and a push to 27 and 30 wins will be very rewarding for the staff and club for weathering the fact that Lin was lost from day 1, Russell missed 10 weeks, and then missing LeVert and RHJ for several weeks.

The coaching staff has been great but the team is a lot more talented than last year. Kenny's been saying it all along. Matching last year's win total is nice but considering how much turnover we've had since training camp last year, I don't really put much stock into it. We had non-NBA guys getting major minutes last year.

Big credit to the front office. We had no real chips and we put a very solid team on the floor while focusing on the future. Injuries really derailed us from seeing a win total that I think is more reflective of the talent we have.

Finishing the year off strong would give us some nice momentum going into the off season though.

Super happy with the way we didn't drop off. Bulls made a run just before half time. RHJ and CLV didn't win the game for us. But just knowing we had a stronger 2nd unit with those 2 lads super hungry to get out there was great comfort. The Fro finnished Laurie! lol. Monster Dunk!! Great strides from the kid. Really looking forward to a somewhat strong finish to the season with fresh legs from RHJ and CLV

20-41; 21 games left

I see 10 likely losses, 3 likely wins; and 8 toss ups. Need to win 6 of the 8 toss ups to beat the over/under! Not impossible!

[MrDollarBills]

unless Boston is in a battle for seeding we can take that game if they rest guys.

I think we have a solid chance of beating SAC, LAC, CHA, DAL, MEM, ORL, MIA, CHI and DET. Philly is going to be fighting for playoff spots and we are no match for Milwaukee so those will be losses

I still have a feeling we are going to upset more than one team on this slate of games.

27-30 wins will throw a wet blanket on Cleveland as well with our pick. I want the Nets to really play this next stretch of games as if this was their playoffs.

[Roy Tarpley]

Yeah, with RHJ and CL back, the team is healthy and we get to see what next season holds in store.

[Rich Rane]

I'd just like to say that Jarrett Allen is a very bad man.

[steady]

The 9 and 8 assists by Din and DLo, exactly what I wanted to see, even with their low scoring. Both taking far fewer shots than usual. 6 and 9 FGAs respectively. This won't always be the case, but nice to see them adjusting.

Also - Allen Crabbe 21 points in 23 minutes.

And yeah, Jarrett Allen, is coming along nicely. !

[Claud]

We are a totally different team when Caris and Rondae are in the rotation. They play winning basketball.

My hope is we can close out the last 20 games strong similar to last year in order to feel good about ourselves going into the summer.

The Fro show was fun as hell last night. Fun game to watch!

[steady]

What’s nice is that KA now knows what he has in this group of players . So this off season he can really focus on what areas are most in need of improvement. We have come so far from the summer when we really had no idea what we had in DMC, RHJ, LeVert, Crabbe, Din, Harris, Jarrett Allen, DLo.

[MrDollarBills]

Allen was the receipient of multiple crisp passes from Russell/Dinwiddie/LeVert.

Teams will pay a steep price if they want to keep trying to swarm the backcourt players with Allen lurking. Russell/Dinwiddie played that game as smartly as you could and even though they both didn't make many baskets the assists went a long way. lets hope that they can get the shots going AND continue to pass and take care of the ball like they did last night. We'd be a hard team to stop on nights where Dinwiddie/Russell/Crabbe are all locked in and on.

[kamaze]

Rondae and Caris return and make a huge impact. Solid game but damn the Bulls are trash. Also Dlo hit those 2 quick 3s at the start of the game and got me thinking he was due for a big night...lol. I feel though he’s been passive at times when he should be aggressive, like not taking an in rhythm 3, and then he’s too spastic with the ball when he should be more conservative. He’s still figuring out his game and play style I think.

Good points.

It's about the team over the individual stats.

It looked like the emphasis was on passing the ball I'll take less shots with the assists and other players scoring. Anyone can put up 20 on this team that's what's fun about watching them. The never give up, make the extra pass is the team's style.

Dinwiddie - 23 (=)
DAR - 15 (-)
Cunninham - 14 (=)

Nice win but it may take a few more games for RHJ to get back to form.
