Sounds about right. Good. He needs to learn to pick and choose his spots


I seriously hope that's not what happened. He scored on the possession on a great move. If we're benching Cam for being aggressive, we drafted the wrong guy.


I'm going off of 2nd hand information. I didn't consider the idea that KD35NETTED could be trolling me :lol:

Female ref is mad cute.

Honestly I am not really concerned about this game, guys need to get the rust off. Too bad Kyrie is just **** the team over.

Cam is getting an education in this quarter.

The Nets' energy is terrible though. Again it's a preseason game but the team just doesn't look focused at all. I'm just concerned mainly about KD and Harden getting reps.

As long as they got some burn, that’s all that matters; rotations and line ups will have to be solved. Hate to say it, but I have a feeling we will miss Green and Shamet immensely. Both were just near automatic from three, no we lost it.

Can't complain too much since its preseason, but I really hope Nash isn't thinking of having Cam as the primary ball handler at any point this season.

Sixers wanted this game badly, remember, we are now the team others will come after and sniff blood. We are hated. Nets didn’t look into it because they didn’t take it seriously. Still waiting for Oct. 19. I want us to spoil the clumsy schmuck’s fugazy ring ceremony.

Haven't watched but one highlight I saw was KD with ball, everyone ran away to arc n let KD go 1 on 3/4 n made a difficult layup.

Yea nothing changes. Not happy with our two man representation of basketball for BKN.

On relax it’s preseason. Honestly the lack of effort was apparent. The sixers played guys fighting for spots and playing time and they played that way. Our guys played like it was preseason lol.

Cmon, context is everything.

When he's running with the 2nd and 3rd units, sure, go HAM and shoot your shot, young man. When James and Kevin are on the floor, part of his maturation is knowing how to defer and work off of them.

I thought we played great, Ball movement was good. Took good shots. KD looks fluid. Harden doesnt seem to have anything lingering with the hammy. I thought our Defense was good outside of some lackluster close outs on threes.

We got killed on turnovers and our points allowed was mostly due to the 27 turnovers. We saw it all last year. #5 in FG% against but among the worst in turnovers/points off turnovers and allowed alot of 2nd chance points. post season they were focus and protected the ball and all of a sudden our D looked great even with poor rebounding.

Cam looks good. im not worried about him being a black hole, thats who he is as a player. im cool if nash yanked him for not making the extra pass. coach out as much of it as you can but overall he is still gonna be a gunner

Love Carter. dude is a menace.

Claxton needs to play. it is alarming that even with LMA out claxton cant see minutes. he is basically theo pinson now. he has to play. its great to have elite spacing, but spacing doesnt matter if you have no one to take advantage of that space by scoring at/above the rim. wha good is spacing if its just our stars taking jumpers? you need at least 1 rim threat.

Nic was out with illness last night. I definitely think that he needs to play though.

Since the Nets are all in and want to win now, say we don't reup Kyrie and the Lakers fold horribly, most of those players will be gone with the exception of Lebron and AD, do we try and pry LeBron to come and play here? I don't think James would be against a trioHarden/KD/LeBron. We are a new "Nets" now, not the Nets of old, so have this conversation is OK and could be a possibility if we don't resign Kyrie. You figure LA trades him out of the conference and we don't re up Kyrie. Thoughts?

Claxton needs to play... not just tonight, but 18+ minutes every night.

No hate on LMA or Milsap, but they dont provide more value to this team then Claxton.

I am hoping that Nash's approach is basically match up based and not Claxton being pushed to the 3rd unit. We absolutely need him defensively.

We gotta pull the starters early this game. Refs aren't calling any fouls. Someones gonna get hurt. They've missed at least 5 easy fouls in the Wolves.

Claxton needs to start. He's dominating.
