GT: Magic @ Nets 12/18 - 7:30 EST 

Post#1 » by Stone » Fri Dec 17, 2021 1:24 pm

We picked up a few more players on the Hardship exception. Besides Langston Galloway who already played in the Sixers game we picked up Shaquille Harrison and James Ennis.

Even thought the Magic are on a six game losing streak and have one of the worst records in the league, we should not take them lightly. These guys are playing for pride and anything can happen.

I got a really good Nets buzz going from this four game win streak and I'm hopeful for more!

Let's Go !!

Is it weird that I like watching the COVID Nets way more than the old Nets?

Just so much more fun to root for. LOL

The pace we play at is so much better yeah. Plus any time the kids make a play, it's just exciting and instills a sense of hope that we are going to be alright over the next few years.

small sample, but the "covid nets" are playing an 14+ possession per game. much more fast paced then the Harden/KD slow 'em down half court nets.

We got Toronto who was 2nd of a back to back on the road, without OG/Precious/Bhirch

We got Philly who was 2nd of a back to back on the road, without Tyrese Maxey

We got orlando tonight, 2nd of a back to back on the road without Ross/Wagner

Denver is the real test for the teen titan nets. these three above there is a bit of a handicap in our favor even missing all those guys to covid

Durant and Mills are out against Orlando

Good decision. Dropping 1 game for rest won't hurt. Time for Cam to have a high volume scoring game lol

I like resting games vs trying to limit minutes... especially since these next 2 games are back to back. i would have sat them vs. denver though and taken the easier win and the conference win (which has more tie breaker implications for seeding) but thats nitpicking.

I still like our chances. i dont expect a win but we should be right there. orlando is bad, they are second of a back to back and just got beat up by miami. they wont get to brooklyn until after 2 am.

Our young guys need to keep running and scrapping and we have a good shot to get a W

8 players on protocols. I would think so even though we signed another two players.

The NBA is a disaster right now.

We have 8 players. And no KD or Harden. This team doesn't even come close to resembling our real team.

How can we play with this team for the next 2 weeks? We will lose every single game. And our #1 seed that we worked so hard for.

This really sucks.
