Pascal has scored 20+ points ONCE in his last 7 games. Not bad for a max contract!


That's because Siakim is a douche-bag fart face.

F off fake fan

Warned. Personal attack.

That is the key to the sweep. Keep attacking him, draw fouls on him to get him off the floor.

When he is on, he is causing absolute havoc on the offensive glass. Raps do not have an answer for him.

Once he is on the bench, Nets become more one dimensional without a rebounding presence.

We need to expand the bench more. Just treat these like regular season games.

Once you get past the first five, their depth drops off. Just run them off the floor and save those minutes for good teams.

Because our top 3 guards happened to be our 3 best players tonight.

This series is going to push Toronto to play smaller as the Nets have a bunch of 6-5 guys who can handle and shoot it a bit and are not liabilities on defense. Other than Kurucs who is just not that good on either side of the floor so far.

The Nets actions are all predicated on Toronto not being able to set-up their defense as they attack early and catch Toronto on some late rotations. There were a ton of open threes based on slow rotations today that gave them early confidence. Toronto needs to pressure the ball out of Levert's hands early on. He can't take the physicality.

If I am being honest, this just doesn't even feel like a playoff game. It is all just good practice for the real thing in round 2.

That's definitely a move I agree with. I think Boucher could be a good counter to Allen.

Hopefully Father BooShay gets into the game on Friday. That is the next game, right?

TD is still a rookie...so minutes are to be earned.

siakim will hold this team back if he doesn’t fall in line with the others. it’s clear at this point he’s not the guy..go to scorer. norm at this point surpassed him imo as a guy you can rely on as a scorer.

6/14 this game 4/13 prior those are tour date numbers and the norm for him these days. he’s a hustle guy and good transition player they tried to turn into a scorer.

I was ridiculed for saying that Allen was going to be a matchup nightmare for the Raps, now those people are silent. With the 3 point shooting essentially even, you see how small of a gap there really is between the two teams.

The Kurucs minutes were the difference. If Vaughan is smart and takes him out of the rotation for small ball with Justin Anderson the Nets can easily tie this series up.

How is it trolling to call a spade a spade and predict in the round where they actually play a tough opponent, then these red flags will come to fruition when it comes to wins and losses.

Good thing Temple had those leggings on. That floor burn would have been a big annoyance. But then again, I would have thought the leggings would have propelled him to the ball faster as he slid...

That's a big reach.

The Nets simply do not have the manpower to match the Raps. Even IF Jacque goes with Justin Anderson...that is a massive indictment on the Nets roster.

At this point, would not hurt for Jacque to give that a go.
