Blake has looked very good. He will replace these TLC minutes and be a great scoring punch off the bench.

When Kyrie is out, I feel Harris got affected the most. Without Kyrie sucking in the defense alongside Harden, Joe can’t get open as often as before.

Harden just said on the post game "I feel like I am the MVP, it's as simple as that".

It's good to know everyone is saying their not happy with our performance tonight.

Pistons are a tough crew and they fight to the end. They got some defenders over there too. Well we did what we had to do, Harden with another great game. Claxton with some great defense at the rim and perimeter. Blake wanted to put on a show for his former team.

But what the heck was that at the end of the game on that inbound play? Why was we trying to force it to Blake, that was bad on Nash part. Anyway, we should get Kyrie back and we should go on a little winning streak here with some bad teams coming up. Bucks is right on our rear too so hopefully we can get a nice winning streak going to get us to #1.

Sloppy game for sure and a lot of missed shots in the beginning. The good part is Blake and Harden are developing chemistry and Blake is not washed at all. He is smart and his post play is going to open up shooters for easy shots. Durant and Kyrie are going to feed off that. Kind of off night for Joey Buckets but I see him or even Blake as an X factor when the big 3 are together. Another surprise is Blake is a solid defender and knows where to be to get offensive fouls. TLC has to be replaced he offers little to this team. I say JJ Reddick would be better and get a solid backup big.

Why we have some of the best offensive minds in the game sitting on the sidelines but can't even draw up a play to get the ball in. Just as well escaped with the W tonight since a loss would have been hard to swallow with the pistons acting like a bunch of punks.

Harden is MVP but at the end of games we need KD and Kyrie. The burn clock and throw up a step back prayer isn't a recipe for success when the Nets aren't built to get consistent stops. This sure is scary hours right now in the 4th but it's scary hours for nets fans.

And I think it's clear now Blake was mailing it in in Detroit. He's not prime Blake but he's not washed.

Isn’t JJ Reddick traded to the Mavs? I doubt they get him just to buy him out.

We've had this issue the entire season and it could be fatal in the playoffs.

The inbounding issues are so **** frustrating.


If we had the entire team intact these games would be blowouts. I'm not concerned

It has nothing to do with tonight. He has been the best player in the league for weeks now.

Yall act like we should be blowing teams out without KD and Kyrie. We are one Harden injury away from serious trouble. God forbid we went into overtime with Harden fouling out tonight

A win is a win. We could have ended this better but in reality when we have the entire squad we are dropping 135+ a night.

lack of practices together with the condensed schedule, trades, signings, and injuries probably has a lot to do with it. we have an abundance of talent, just not a lot of time in the gym together. defense and late game execution are the 2 places that's gonna show.

Harden is the MVP no question.

These idiots want to give it to Jokic who can't even get a top 3 seed. Makes no sense!

Win is a win but we make life hard on ourselves. We can’t make simple inbound passes in late game situations is maddening. Harden is carrying this team right now. Where would we be without him? We’d be 22-21 or somewhere in that range. Strong game by Blake they let Blake be Blake posting up, facing up shooting the mid range and the 3 we saw everything last night. At least we get Kyrie back for the next game (I think)

Joker is a monster though. He carrying that trash to PO literally by himself. It got to the point Mike had to call them out. Also WC is tougher to play, we have two sub 500 in PO.

That's the thing tough, both KD and Kyrie can't be trusted to be available for entire season. We have to come to peace with that fact. Before Harden trade we were banking on our depth, now we have perennial MVP. Re-sign Din should be priority. With the way Kyrie is he'll be our starter for 30-40 games.

For such a terrific 3P Shooter, he's a pretty average FT Shooter with an average mid range Jump Shot too.

It's inexplicable ... but this off season he needs to shoot about a thousand of each.

The 6th seed doesn't get the MVP sorry.

Why are the Nuggets worse than last year?
