Some of these shots the Nuggets are making are just insane. The basketball Gods want us to lose this game.

Us Nets fans are destined to suffer.

Garbage in, garbage out. You can't expect positivity right now, the Nets are getting smoked :lol:
This was the hardest game on our remaining schedule, I already expected us to lose. Obviously the play tonight is still pathetic, but it is not surprising. This team needs a reality check heading into the postseason, and the only good thing I can say is that it's happening now, rather than in the playoffs.

Irving and Durant simply can’t run plays. The only answer at this point is Harden. We simply don’t have a floor general and there’s no way to fix this mess.

This game was probably impossible to win if Denver was shooting like this. The problem is we have given up WAY too many games that we should have won.

We are in desperation mode now. We have to find a way to win. If we are Championship contenders we should be able to beat anyone.

The issue I have is that I don't think this is going to stop suddenly once the playoff starts. I can't think of a championship team that has ever just fallen off a cliff like this right before the playoffs.

This team isn't even trying to compete right now on either end. Low IQ basketball on offense, and no effort on defense. I think we are in seriously bad shape.

Refs are really helping Denver when were already down 20. What a joke.

If James Harden fixes this mess, I will tattoo his jersey number on my body.

Its a miracle were not down by 30 right now. Still very likely a loss.

When was the last time we lost this many games in a row? We look like a G League team and the playoffs are about to start.

It’s only a fifteen point lead. We can turn it around. We need more energy and effort.

I honestly can’t even watch this game. The lack of effort and the lack of adjustments from Nash are killing the fun of this team

Harden fixes everything but same time, it's down right terrible that both Kyrie n KD on the court aren't enough apparently....

Their pt totals are the same, on trajectory..while no one else is helping

Its like all of the issues we've had throughout the season have amassed and reared their ugly head at just the "right" time. Tough to feel any sort of confidence going into the playoffs playing the way we have this past week. We don't even know if we're actually going to have Harden back in time for round 1.

Durant has no business bringing the ball down the court after seeing these last couple games. We don’t have a good point guard right now. You can tell we just haven’t had enough time together as a team yet. Too many new players with not enough time on the court.

Offense has some issues but the defense is the worst I've seen in a long time.

You can't put that on Kyrie and KD. This team has NO CLUE how to guard anyone. Thats a team problem. A coaching problem.

Good start. These refs are still completely in Denvers pocket.
