"It's not like we're going to pack it in and just say, 'Hey, let's see.' No, when I say see where we end up, it's in that 6, 7, 8 spot," Irving said. "Put a realistic goal in front of you and really go after it. ... So heading into All-Star break, you want to have these great tests, see what we can learn from them and move forward. Then after All-Star break, we get everybody back, and I feel like we'll be in a better place."


Kyrie is actually being fairly objective and grounded in his comments. I think this is absolutely necessary to have from someone in a position of leadership, you have to be honest and realistic and he is.

Anyway, I think Kenny really needs to start cracking down here. Certain guys on this team are playing like **** and they need to be held to account.

I think we need to change the starting line up, give me:

Allen, Kurucs, Harris, Spencer, and Kyrie. Prince needs to earn his way back into the starting line up, the dude is posting a PER of 9. He's been flat out awful and my patience has run out. He needs to come off the bench.

off the bench, give me

LeVert (who also has been terrible, but he's our only other reliable handler)
Temple
TLC
Prince
Claxton

Chandler has been horrible so I really don't think he needs to play unless we need his size for certain match ups.

Caris LeVert really needs to get his ass in gear ASAP. He is also posting a dreadful PER of 9 and frankly this is the worst basketball I've ever seen from him. He is a turnover machine, and he needs to clean it up. Show me some urgency FFS.

This is a winnable game at home. I don't want to see any excuses. The Nets need to execute.

Why I feel like Prince playing as hired mercenary and not guy who wants to be there.

He needs to be benched. Won't happen though because he is inexplicably a Kenny favorite.

He had hamstring tightness and they are being careful(and rightfully so)

Really questioning why we played him heavy mins after coming back.

Yeah, playing a guy heavy minutes after such a long layoff is stupid, and can lead to problems like this.

Crap. Hopefully Spencer and LeVert can hold the line.

Claxton clearly needs mins. Rodi as well. If Kenny keeps ignoring them, I will probably take a break from watching the team, so I can save my sanity.

Rodi and Claxton play with a sense of urgency. I can't say the same for others.
