It hurts to watch Desmond Bane doing so well in his first game.

No official word, but heavy speculation is that Wiseman and Draymond Green both tested positive for COVID. Warriors announced that two players tested positive, and Wiseman and Green are the only two that haven't been at practice.

Doesn’t look like the injury has affected KD at all

Nets are going to score a ton of points.

Question is do they have the defense to get it done. Obviously you're not going to learn a lot from a preseason game vs the Wizards with no WB and Beal on that end

Dude is one of the GOAT scorers, and it’s not exactly he has any decent defenders on him at all.... I’d like to see him up against some really good defences to see if he can break them down

TheIr starting shooting is the best in the league despite DJ can shoot only 5 feet..

They have a lot of shooting but they're shooting 70% against the Wiz G-Leaguers. Like that's not going to be every game lol

More importantly KD looks fine and basically himself, it’s a long season and we’ll see how it goes but if he’s close or at 100% theyll be good enough on Most nights to beat most teams.

Looks like it’s gonna be a rough season if you’re rooting for the Nets to fail. Kd is still a unguardable, even at well short of 100% and kyrie is an elite number 2

Nets run a crazy amount of ISOs, wow

People act like we are in 70s or something. Sports medicine has advanced a ton. We are long past the time when achilles injuries were close to career ending. Wall also looks as quick as ever.

Wall looks good

Is it just my stream or is the new ESPN score board taking away like 20% of the screen? Wtf?

Durant , Wall, Griffin, Cousins all looking pretty good after missing so much time.

MagicBagley18 · Post #456 » by **MagicBagley18** » Mon Dec 14, 2020 2:28 am

Boy if u just ask Marc gasol to screen, pass and play defense for 15 minutes a night on a team w AD and lebron.....what a luxury

They still don't have Semi and Carsen.

Was I supposed to be impressed with the Nets' bench, that almost lost the game at home to a Wizards team that was without Westbrook, Beal and Bertans?

Either Avdija, the kid from Israel, can play or else the Nets made him look better than he is. The same goes for Anzejs Pasecniks and Moritz Wagner.

He's only 20. He was picked 46th. How do we keep missing out on these guys?

you know why. I saw Sekou looking good as well with a 23-5 night. Too bad his coach is awful and he'll have to develop despite him and likely won't get much playing time.
