Nets @ Lakers gamethread 

Post#1 » by NetsWorld » Fri Dec 24, 2021 1:05 pm

So….. tomorrow we are back in action; predictions, thoughts, etc…. Can we still get KD back in time. Lakers were blown out yesterday and have been off all season. Maybe it works in our favor.

Our success depends on how effective Harden will be and obviously if a miracle happens with Durant. The good news is Bembry and Claxton will be available. Lakers are trying to avoid a full blown dumpster fire so expect empty guns thrown at us down the stretch.

I have no idea the quality of play we will see in tonight's game. However, I'm gonna watch and cheer, and give thanks for being in this marquee matchup. All that said, no matter who we field, I want to win!!!!! Go Brooklyn!

Harden needs to drop 40 tonight. I'm waiting for the Harden + defense lineup with Brown, Bembry, Claxton and Johnson.

Merry Christmas everyone. I got Harden dropping a 40 piece with a side of triple double for our LA dinner.

Harden is quicker but his shot is really off. I like his aggressiveness though. Hopefully his shot comes back.

Harden is driving down hill every time he gets the lane. Good decision making

Another aggressive drive. I'm loving what Harden is doing here.

This is where we miss the kids. We literally have one shooter on the floor with this line up. Our defense is carrying us

This would’ve been the perfect game for Kessler and DDJ

Yep. We could use Kessler's shooting (41% 3pt) and Dukes hustle. Carter sucks

When the lead was cut to 10 Nash HAD to call a timeout. You could make the argument for an earlier one with the offense looking a bit ragged. But of course he lets Lakers cut it to 8 on a momentum building play.

It's pretty clear now that Carter and Millsap are the worst players on the roster.
