Ball - out
Graham - out
Heyward - out
Monk - out
Washington - doubtful

This one should be a win. No excuse to look past an injured hornets after the lakers JV team blew us out.

Get well LMA

[Papi_swav]

yea this should be a easy win (should be). We have dedicate this game to LMA.

Let's take this one seriously, guys. Charlotte are down several key players, and they remain a proud, pesky squad. I still don't forgive Biyombo for his antics, that directly led to Spencer's injury; they will attempt to physically dominate and intimidate us off we let them.

Focus on connectivity and hustle. Go Brooklyn.

Hopefully the team comes out focused, which usually happens after a loss. Yeah Philly has the advantage in the 1 seed but if the Nets take care of business the rest of the way, I can still see the Nets leap frogging them.

Should be a good game to get KD mins, with having to overwork both him and Kyrie. Would be nice to see Alize get more burn as well.

We have to leap them for the #1 Seed because now they own the tiebreaker, beating us two out of three.

If we had it to do over again, it made more sense to sit KD verses the T-Wolves and play him verses Philly.

Hindsight is 20/20, but if we reversed it we probably win both games and own the tiebreaker over Philly.

Sean Marks hints to the return of Dinwiddie.

DJ's defense is pathetic. Won't be long until Claxton takes his starting spot.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Jordan reminding me why I was so down on him.

Maybe I spoke too soon about Aldridge retiring not having an effect. Not sure I want to play this guy.

[NyCeEvO]

God awful defense and way too passive.

Why can’t we just jump on teams and kill the game off from the start?

Now we give them confidence and they’ll play hard to steal the game.

Just to add to this. You can tell his defense is so deflating to the rest of the team. Just gave no effort at all for half a quarter. It spills over.

[Shark]

Ugh... Tired of the same old story against teams we should beat.

[NyCeEvO]

The combo of Green and Jordan is a defensive nightmare. Our lineups always have the imprint of MDA ‘prioritize offense over defense’ and I don’t like it.

They’re targeting Jordan and Green almost every time down. No resistance.

[Shark]

At least Nash didn't give DJ the entire first quarter as he had done so often.

[therealbig3]

Our defensive effort is hilariously bad.

This is why DJ was benched. It's not because Nash fell in love with offense over defense with LMA or Griffin...it's because they're better offensively and defensively than DJ, so it made no sense to play DJ in favor of them. And Claxton is the best C on the team, so he should get the majority of the C minutes anyway.

[MrDollarBills]

Flagrant on Biyombo. He nearly killed Blake wtf

[NyCeEvO]

What is this trash?

There is no fluidity to the offense. Just post a player, have them seal their man, shoot or look for a cutter.

Too easy to defend.

[Shark]

Eh, maybe a flagrant 1. I think it looked worse since Griffin was trying to sell the call.

[therealbig3]

LOL, that was a flop by Griffin, no flagrant there.

[DarkXaero]

Terrible 1st quarter.
