Great win

- Nets improve to 20-6 vs the Western Conference. Best record since.....the 2012 Miami Heat with LeBron, Wade, Bosh & Ray Allen.

- 1.5 games ahead of the Sixers

- KD, Tyler look super healthy and prepared with no rust.

I'm still in awe that KD is on the Nets. But today was a really good solid win against one of the leagues best teams. We are in the homestretch now 11 games left in the regular season......Lets Go !

Yankees are terrible this season by the way. Even with the name of the channel, they should be given YES 2.

Good day indeed. Great team win. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect but the grit carried the Nets to victory! You love to see it.

Great win. Once KD came in the game things changed. Blake was a great pick up. He does a little bit of everything, defense, rebounding, hustle plays, scoring. I was skeptical at first but I’m glad he’s on the team.

Honestly, the afternoon start time could have played a factor. 6 hours into fasting is totally different than 11 or 12 hours, since it's sunrise to sunset.

This was a great win, go Nets! I'm glad to see Kevin back and healthy, Tyler looking spry as well.

Adding KD changes the dynamic completely and allows the paint to open up. I’ll hold back from calling Griffin a star but with KD on the floor he sure does look like one. If you can call a player like Simmons a star simply from how he impacts a game then you have to see the similarities in what Griffin is doing. What’s really mind boggling is we will be adding an MVP point guard to this team and there’s still Claxton and Dinwiddie coming. :nod:

Wanna hear a great Commodores song, and it's a huge sleeper because it was never released as a single.

That second half was fantastic to watch. The team is starting to get healthy again (knock on wood) and obviously KD changes everything for us.

Like how we played CP today, he got nothing easy in the midrange and Kyrie and the others did a good job staying on him and making him work. Don't think he ever controlled the game or even looked comfortable except in transition.

In the second half again showed we aren't a bad defensive team when we lock in and don't give up easy 2nd chance and transition buckets. Very encouraging it came without Claxton.

They really tried CP on KD, I think there's a bit of history behind that one but don't think they'll be trying that again.

Blake trolled a former team/teammate again I think he visibly gets up for these games. Almost would have been a perfect outing for him if he didn't tried to guard CP on that one last time..

KD looked 100%, hope the coaches don't push him too far in the regular season.

Was at the game today, place was rocking, the whole crowd was into the game. Kyrie is electric especially in person. KD is a walking bucket, dude just scores effortlessly. Put up 33 easy points. I just don't see how teams beat us when KD is on the floor, he can score almost everytime.

DJ played well, UNcle Jeff had some electrifying dunks that got the crowd up. Blake has been great since he got here. I'm glad I didn't see TLC at all and also glad TJ is back. Mike James was a little off today. I'm so happy I got to go to a game before the season ends and before we win the chip. Might be back for playoffs depending how expensive tickets are.

Last place and yet the Nets have to play on the bootleg channel. Shameful. We need a deal with another network.

And Kyrie probably hydrates pretty heavily at night. The start time played into our favor clearly

The Hawks are up 10 on the Bucks with 4 mins left. Today will be huge for the Nets if Atlanta can hold on here

KD has won an Oscar.

Hawks pulled it off. They have some serious shooters now with bogdanovich and sweet Lou. So much talk about Antetokounpo but he’s so one dimensional. Build a wall and he is not able to score on you when the game slows down. They don’t have the greatest shooters either or others that can create their their own shots in crunch time.

I think Hawks absolutely take down Boston in round 1, whether they're the 4 or 5

Great win vs. a top team. Thoughts...

1) Kyrie made it a point to dominate. After a stinker shooting last game he was laser focused. didnt matter they were playing an elite defense. Chris Paul tried to body him and tried all his dirty cheap BS and Kyrie just gave him buckets all night. His first Quarter was Peak Kobe level. just being an assassin. 9 FTs in the first quarter. he was on a mission.

2) KD is a cheat code. Like he can get a shot whenever he wants with minimal effort and doesnt miss. He had like 8 points on 8 shots and 5 minutes later your like dang KD seems rusty and then they show the graphic and its 24 points on 12 shots. he just quietly piles it on. Was great to see CP3 try and be a pest. KD son'd him.

3) Blake playing the dennis rodman role. getting in guys heads. someone said it perfect earlier... Villain blake is the best blake. Hit some big threes as well. timely buckets, timely charges. put his fingerprints all over this game.

4) You can just feel the impact Mike James has. he has a "buzz" to him. he didnt do much stat wise and again missed FTs/layups but he has an "it" thing. like you can just feel a 14 points in 4 minutes stretch coming for him. plays steady and confident. I think he is going to end up being a great addition.

5) Love that TJ is back. He gives us solid 2 way play and another 3 point shooter if shamet is off. hopefully he can stay healthy.

Another game vs. a top defense where we score 130 in our sleep. we can NOT be slowed offensively. the league is on notice.
