I agree with Kenny. Toss that tape out.

I hope Kyrie will be able to play, we really need this win but I have my doubts that he'll be playing any time soon (and that's fine. Take as long as needed). If not let's hope Spencer can give us an All Star performance, using that last conversation he had with Kobe as rocket fuel for the rest of the year. We've got to climb out of this hole or we are in serious trouble.

Kyrie is back at practice today. This is now where the Nets culture will need to yield results, the guy was not well mental health wise last season after his grandfather passed away and he admitted that he should have seen a professional. Nets are already well ahead of the curve when it comes to player mental health, so I have faith that the team will have his back 100%.

It's a positive sign that he chose to practice with the team today, he admitted that he isolated himself in Boston following his grandfather's death so we'll see what happens. Tough situation all around.

Man I don't even care about this season anymore. This Kobe lost is going to sting for a while.

It will. I can't lie while watching the last game vs the Knicks I felt like I wanted to vomit and I didn't care about the end result.

Hopefully the team can turn things around, and start making this fun again so you'll get back into it.

Good to see him back at practice

Having KD and Jordan will help him a lot

Kenny too, I think it's a really great person, I'm sure he has his back 100%
We forget to think about that sometimes but fr we blessed to have Kenny

I think Spencer is changing his number from #8 to #26

First game for Kyrie since the passing of the Mamba and it’s on ESPN. Perfect opportunity for him to drop 50 or a game winner to honor his mentor.

Kyrie FaceTimed Kobe after hitting the game winning shot in Game 7.

I don’t think it’s an ESPN exclusive game. You should be able to get YES on League Pass on another channel.

Still feel a bit numb. Will watch the game but will definitely have a somber feel.

Hope Kyrie is really in the right frame of mind to play and not forcing himself too.

Just in case, I'll record it on my phone. My 2 girls and I will be cheering on you and yours, bud.

From what I've read, KD stepped in to speak about this because Kyrie didn't want to face the media (and I don't blame him). Say what you want but dude is a real one for that.

I hope the Nets limit Kyrie's media availability tbh for awhile. Not because they need to coddle him but I've had enough of people shoving mics in these guys faces while they are in mourning. Let them process their grief in peace. After seeing T-Mac and Shaq breaking down on national television, it's too much.

Not thrilled about this one being on ESPN. The team doesn't need extra media attention.

I don't get why they do that. one of the best features of league pass is getting to choose your team's feed. Then on national games they pull the rug so you have to listen to Chris Webber enter into every sentence like the point he's searching for is a dropped contact lens. Or worse, Mark Jackson saying anything at all.
