Nets are 8-15 from three. Good to know their lights out shooting against us wasn't a fluke :/

Are you kidding me? Lol nobody in the league is worse than Wiggins except maybe Semi haha. Kid is trash.

They're the same player. Can't shoot, can't score, turn it over too much, bad defenders. Awful players.

Against the Warriors.
Though, without Clay, it's a bit different team.

I think Nashville is high up on the list for basketball (and baseball) since its population has exploded too. I think they should get a team before Vegas imo.

Seattle for sure and I think the NBA starts playing a few regular seasons games in China. So the new Seattle team would play 2 home games a season in Beijing or Shanghai.

That Jet Lag is a trip though. -- I don't think it's good to play halfway around the world.
It takes too much to recover.

Nets really push it every single time

I think they could minimize jet lag issues if they do it just before the ASG break to allow for more rest between games, for example, and involve another West Coast team. NFL manages to do London. And it'd be only a couple games.

Just flush Wiggins. You straight up can't play him, I don't care how much money you're paying him.

Are the nets going to be this good? Do they have a lot of depth?

Kyrie is **** insane

That would make sense. Right before All-Star Break.

Wiggins is the least competitive player to ever play the game. He is so, so bad.

Kyrie coming for that MVP this year. Dude is a assassin.

Feel like we rarely saw Kyrie in this form when he was with the Celtics. Don’t get me wrong, he had big games at times but nothing explosive in terms of scoring. Can’t recall how many 40+ he had with the Celtics. Already has 24 at half, had 50 last season in the opener.

When you have two top 5 players in the NBA, you are gonna be good.

Nets will easily be the #1 seed in the East this year if the team stays healthy.

Yuhp. Dude is happy to be in Brooklyn.. Wasn't happy here. It sucks because him and Tatum would be insane right now. Sucks so bad that he didn't want to be here. Sigh.

It's more his mental state and his injuries than his physical gifts as a basketball player... if that makes sense?

If he's happy and healthy he's incredible hard to stop.... he needs both of those clicking at the same time and I honestly can't see him being unhappy in Brooklyn because he actually chose to go there.. so at the end of the day it's going to be how healthy he will be rolling into the playoffs.

Yeah, that must be what it is.
Kyrie gets to call more of the shots in Brooklyn. He's feeling like a King.
