This mother **** er put up 28pts and 9 rebs on 11-13 FG 5-5FT.

This was a bad game for him. Let that sink in.

We clean up the areas that we need to on this roster and Scary Hours will be 24-7


This offense is unfair

It's so good you can turn KD into a 3 and D guy for **** and giggles and still breeze past 120



Kyrie and Harden were cutting people up so badly out there I forgot that KD was on the floor until dude hits a huge shot. I feel spoiled

I've said it before but KD has the quietest numbers I've ever noticed for a star player. I always think he has fewer points than he actually has. It's so weird...I can't put my finger on why his numbers always tend to be higher than how they "feel".


Wait until the playoffs. You'll feel those numbers then.

My choice for Jester would probably be Shamet. I've been supportive of Shamet but tonight he took a major step back after some much improved minutes recently.

I did miss some chunks of the game but I only remember seeing Shamet make 1 glaring error...maybe 2. I don't expect players to be perfect, so if a bench player has a turnover or two in 15 minutes of play, I won't hold it against them unless it was really inexcusable.

TLC had the jester award on lock for a while, but he's dislodged his head out of his ass enough to no longer be an automatic lock for it every game lol.

Maybe its because the game is so easy for him.

Tonight definitely felt very quiet from him, because Harden dominated the Nets offense with his facilitating, and Kyrie was unreal with his shotmaking. KD stood out the most with his bad turnovers than his scoring.

At least Nash is realizing his mistakes and improving. I'll give him that.



I'm willing to be patient. I think the effort level from the personnel has to improve and the roster make up needs more balance before I start blaming Nash for everything that goes wrong. Durant made multiple bone headed plays in this game, whose fault is that???

In his short time as coach under unprecedented circumstances, he's already proven that he's not inflexible by switching up lineups and making adjustments. There's no way to gain experience other than by actually coaching in real games.

I think people have been way too harsh with him. Yeah, he's a hall of fame point guard, but he's still a rookie head coach.

Shamet had a brutal stretch in 4th quarter where he missed shots, had bad turnovers, and gave up an and1 on defense, which led to a short lived Clippers 5 pt lead.

Exactly. Rookie mistakes were and are expected from me concerning Nash. It all depends if he's willing to learn from those mistakes.

There's definitely that aspect to his game. He can't really be locked down, so everything comes down to whether he makes or misses shots. Scoring comes too easy.

And lets be real this isn't a team full of kids anymore, these are all players in their primes. Accountability matters all across the board, it's not just on one man's shoulder's.

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Big time win. great response in what to me was a must win game after we blew the wiz one. This was an absolute STATEMENT game. not just beating another top team, but beating a team made of elite defenders.

Kawhi - dominated
PG13 (aka Fraud) - son'd

Durant stepping into three right in guys eyes. Harden cutting everyone up. and.... oh man, Kyrie serving out big ice cold tall glasses of STFU to all the haters.

Top 10 game for me as a fan in the past decade. especially after all the trash talk the past 48 hours. they shook now though. We just abused the clippers like they were an after thought. Our role shooters had a bad night and we still dropped 120 like it was easy. toying with them.

We honestly need:

1) Legit NBA level back up or starting center that can rebound and block/alter shots. I'm sorry, unless Norvel Pelle proves me wrong, we are lacking there.

2) Legit NBA level wing defender strong enough to defend 3 + 4. I like Shump, he's a great guy but I am not convinced that he is the answer for a team with championship level aspirations.

3) I think we need one more shooter off of the bench. I don't trust Shamet or TLC.

Tonight showed the league that the Nets offense is unstoppable.

Everyone has been warned. There won't be a second warning.

Great game. The score makes it look a little closer than it was. KD hit the dagger to put us up 10 with 2 minutes left. For some reason teams are just automatic in the clutch against us. Never seen anything like it.

The defense was up and down in the 1st half but the team was pretty locked in for the 2nd. Clippers hit a lot of tough shots. A few plays where they had to make a ton of passes to get a good look.

Our offense is just ridiculous. I don't even know what to say any more.

Yup huge win.

Did the Clippers vaunted defenders even affect the Nets offense? It certainly didnt look like it but I think that was obvious to any unbiased fan in the first place.

Pelle is a NGC. I have a feeling we're just waiting until the buyout market is ripe.

2) Legit NBA level wing defender strong enough to defend 3 + 4. I like Shump, he's a great guy but I am not convinced that he is the answer for a team with championship level aspirations.

Yeah, this is one the one position I thought was imperative for us to resolve in the offseason. A good defensive tweener would help solve a lot of things for us.

3) I think we need one more shooter off of the bench. I don't trust Shamet or TLC.

I think Shamet can be that shooter. TLC is definitely not a shooter, so I'd be shocked if ever really became consistent from long range.
