If ain't one of you guys started it yet I will. How likely we dump DJ for cap relief this off-season?

Lil bad stretch. I want Claxton at PF. Or against small ball lineups. This is gonna be important coaching stretch for Nash. Not who should play but how. Your philosophy vs. skillset.

Lol @ Aldridge. We've got a post up option now

Hey someone fix a plate of Crow for our boy Prok because he had some choice words about LMA racking up DNPs :lol:

Pressure the ball handler is a kryptonite for us

The only way for Claxton to play PF would be to put him in with DJ, otherwise he's a center. And I don't want to see that lineup...

Extremely likely.
Especially if he don’t petition to get back into rotation and specifically be allowed to drop.
Bigs seem to be cheap and still bring value. Nets free agency will be lucrative for the foreseeable future.

Despite the high percentage shooting, we've missed a ton of open threes. The looks they are generating are just insane.

MrDollarBills · Post #92 » by **MrDollarBills** » Fri Apr 2, 2021 1:36 am

Feels good. LMA just fits right in, doesn't try to do too much, takes good shots and is physical presence at the rim. Sean Marks has to somewhere giggling like a school girl

Get a gig with YES and chill there with RJ. We can buy him out too.

I feel last game him and Blake were excellent together. Like together were the win. Considering his playstyle defensively I thought him the PF. Blake was all hustle but it kept a sizable player near the rim and boxing out.

I am having Guiness for the first time. Given how well they are playing I think that will have to be my official beer for Nets games now.

Yeah it looks like their full court presses and traps are giving us trouble, but only because we’re missing wide open shots. The “give up wide open looks and hope they miss” defense isn’t that sustainable...

DarkXaero · Post #97 » by **DarkXaero** » Fri Apr 2, 2021 1:37 am

Joe has struggled tonight, so many open looks missed.

Stone · Post #98 » by **Stone** » Fri Apr 2, 2021 1:38 am

The Hornets are a well coached ball club. And that is part of the reason they are having a much better season than expected.

GTR11 · Post #99 » by **GTR11** » Fri Apr 2, 2021 1:38 am

I have to admit it though. I didn't expect LMA to be this good. I knew Blake was digging it for sure, you could tell. LMA looking good guys.

Yea that might be his future but I think he’s tradable especially packaged. Tho we might not want to take on salary overall with what we might do with Spencer and if we ever use the MLE.
