No disrespect intended, HB, but this thread has consistently been on track.

Sean Marks' Brooklyn Nets from day one have been about inclusion, equality, thankfulness, kindness and understanding towards others.

The game last night was cancelled because a young man got gunned down for almost zero reason, only a year after the senseless BS tragedy of Floyd's manslaughter / murder, in almost the same neighborhood.

I can't take this ****, anymore.

When I was younger, I used to think 'well, that's terrible, but I guess I don't know both sides of the coin very well, so I'm hesitant to judge.'

Those days are almost ZERO in my mirror, dude. Me, I don't need to claim I have "black friends" to say that I'm sick and tired of this BS.

It's absolutely disgusting, and the Nets did the right thing by postponing last night's game.


Yeah but they were literally hurling personal insults at each other. I don't really think thats discussing the game or the issue at hand.

Even if we win by 50, KD shouldn't play tomorrow. KD just missed 2 months. He's still on a minutes limit. No reason to risk anything.

Especially since we have no Harden or Kyrie. It's not like this is a statement game. I don't want to throw away games but KD needs to be 100% for the playoffs. The plan was to build him back slowly and this is only his 3rd game back. He's still in the building stage.

We literally have no PG available this half. I expect some problems - not an easy blowout.

Rivalry? I mean if they keep that same team, definitely. But it’s going to be hard to do that.

But we’re going for the past champs – the Lakers. They were the ones who won the championship. So, you’ve got to give respect to them.

Obviously, Brooklyn has a lot of talent. But at the end of the day, there’s only one ball and you’ve got to play defense, too.


Ben Simmons is talking ****. Man....


Hey man, we'll see. As it stands, they haven't played us at full strength yet...I'd be pretty confident if we meet them in the playoffs with all of our key guys playing though.


Same. I want to embarrass them.

Okay, they were doing some of that, yeah, but 90% of it was still issue-based.

What do you think the issue was in the first place, and why do you think people got upset, eh?

As for "the game?"

Dude, THE GAME was cancelled because of the tragedy, see...? THAT'S what people were talking about, see?

We could of beat this team without KD. Maybe should or saved him for tomorrow at Philly. Is Kyrie going to play tomorrow?

They're playing Durant as a way to get him back into being able to play 35+ minutes again, since he was out of game action for so long.

So they're almost intentionally playing him more minutes as a way to get him back into shape, regardless of the score. I think they want him to play 25-30 minutes at least.

Bro I don't know what you're bloviating about anymore.

I weighed on in the issue and so did others.

Right before the game started the discussion continued and got personal, so I tried to turn attention to the game an hour before it started.

IDK what your issue is but this is my final post on this topic.

Alright that’s enough. Take out KD. The lead is big enough for them to hold on.
