GT: Nets @ Cav's - 3:00 PM 1/17/22

[Jay555]

Tough loss. Good game by the Cavs.

If we had KD, I doubt it would turn out this way.

Easy money sniper always seals the deal. My favorite Net easily.

Also take note, Harden is visibly frustrated with Irving and doesn’t feel the same way about him as last year. Kyrie is a prick.

If we do not win the chip this year due to Kyrie being part time, I want Harden to walk.

I also expect our morale to go down the toliet after this hence losing streak on the cards. (Will see if true).

[Hello Brooklyn]

Basically Kyrie is being an idiot. We have no KD and now will have to rely only on Harden cause hes afraid to take a shot.

Unbelievable. This team is cursed.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Milwaukee, Philly, Chicago all lost today. Miami is still playing.

Everyone at the top of the East is a mess.

[HardenGoat]

I told you that was what the locker issue is. Harden likely got his answer around the time of Kyries return and it came after some sort of ultimatum. Affected the entire team. Now there’s the rumor he’s open to leaving. How can you gel as a team on a championship run when one of your best players makes that kind of a decision??

Yep, Harden needs to leave town. With Kyrie, there is always uncertainty.

It was given like a month or so ago. We definitely going to get smoked by Bucks or Miami in a second round and he'll get pissed. I already see Morey pulling both Dame and Harden trade this off-season, won't stop there, they'll hire D'Antoni too.

It's over.

[TheNetsFan]

I don't think there's locker room issues. I wouldn't be surprised if Harden's plan was to win a ring and then go back to a team where the roster construction revolves 100% around him though.

That being said, until they dump Tobias for expiring contracts, I wouldn't worry too much. If they need a S&T you make it hurt them tremendously.

I think the Sixers rumors are true and Harden is playing it out to see what happens. If we lose before getting to the finals due to Kyrie not being available he absolutely will and SHOULD walk.

Kyrie is awesome but this part time crap is foolishness. There is no danger in getting vaccinated. Why stay here with a team that entertains this madness from Kyrie when he can go to Philly and play with Embiid who is having an MVP year? After Kyrie's comments this afternoon, it's a foregone conclusion that we will not win a title.

[MrDollarBills]

Horrible offense to end the game. Missing too many easy shots. You can't win that way.

That Aldridge miss at the rim followed by Mobley leaking out unguarded right past him for a dunk killed us. We might as well had kept Sharpe in the game

I think Sharpe is spent which is why Nash took him out.

Yeah true. That 3 seconds violation on offense he drew was a critical error. He was probably tired.

[GTR11]

If some of you think Dame and Harden didn't discuss option joining up in Philly, welp now it's time to think about it again.

I've been a Nets fan for over 20 years. Not going to lie, I'd step away for some time. I'm not sure if I'll see another team being assembled like this.

I want Harden to stay and it'll break me. I just can't get mad at him though. That's what I would've do.

Detroit will be third team. It's already been speculated on. Numbers work and picks will be there after Ben trade.

[GTR11]

I got my fingers crossed. I want to believe KD and Marks/Tsai combo can pull another magic.

[Hello Brooklyn]

The Harden rumors exist because hes becoming a Free Agent.

Why would he leave exactly? He gets to play second fiddle to Kevin Durant. The best player in the world.

You really think he'd rather play with Embiid? Who simply isn't as good.

The Sixers are as just as big of a mess as we are. And always have been,

No contender has the cap space to sign him anyway. And the Nets don't have to trade him. Especially not to a conference rival.

[Jay555]

Harden actually just liked a twitt from Legion Hoops saying he's open to relocationg. He then disliked it quickly.

It's over.

Just to get away from constant drama and focus on basketball. The problme is not KD but KD chose Kyrie and it is what it is.

Nets donot have to trade Harden because Harden can walk away as he's a free agent.

The Sixers have a team suited to Harden’s style and an actual NBA coach. If I were Harden I would think about leaving too. Kyrie is f*cking this all up and doesn't care. And if KD is fine with that, it means he doesn't care either. Harden wants to win, he isn't here to play preschool friends with Kyrie's dumb ass.

Embiid is posting an MVP season right now. He's not messing around. Meanwhile, KD is coddling Kyrie. And for WHAT?

The Nets will have to trade him if he wants to leave in order to not be left screwed. Don't forget, Kyrie is also a pending free agent and this fool might just retire on a whim.

Superstars always get what they want. Always.

I think the Nets need to sit down with Harden and Durant and keep it real. Kyrie needs to go for the sake of the team.

The Sixers are not the org to get away from drama. They are a constant soap opera just like us.

Yes but if Harden wants to go to Philly they need to trade for him. Where else can he go where there is cap space?

The Sixers have actually been on a roll as of late while we have been inconsistent ever since Kyrie came back

This isn't a coincidence.

Before Ky's interveiw today, I think everyone still had hope but that's shattered now. This explains Harden's liking of the twit from Legion Hoops. I can see him walk away without hesitation.

I do think KD, Harden and management need to sit down now to try and work out the best solution. If it means Kyrie getting traded, so be it..

[Prokorov]

Horrific loss. another loss that is 99% on the coaching (would be 100% other then the 4 points LMA gave away late).

People talking about Kyrie not being vaccinated or Harden rumors after the season ends are being toddlers. We are were we are because we have hands down the worst coach in league history. A coach who cant figure out how to score points with Harden/KD and says he needs to win with defense. A coach who cant find a way to hold a 13 point lead vs. a g-league clippers team at home 2nd of a back to back. Cant beat portland with KD/Kyrie when they are missing their 3 best players. Cant hold the worst offense in the league to under 130 points at home.

0 adjustments, horrific gameplan, horrific use of his players, horrific misuse of timeouts.

Cleveland had ONE guy on their team who could dribble the ball and create offense. Nash did NOTHING to try and get the ball our of his hands. when Gardland say their offense coudlnt do anything. no adjustments to make someone else create offense. pathetic. Blake/Brown/LMA lineups with no shooting and it wasnt even when Cleveland had a big lineup on the floor. down 3 under 40 seconds no timeout to setup a play. harden turnover when in trouble after picking up his dribble. pathetic.

Kyrie doenst need to change his personal health choices so that people here can watch him dribble a basketball on TV more. he has no power over state mandates. its an unlucky situaiton for the nets. and its grossly selfish for fans to ask him to do it for "the team"

Harden is frustrated. I would be too if my coach needed 3 stars plus role shooters to eek out wins vs terrible teams and get destroyed otherwise. Kyrie full time is a crutch. KD missing time is a blessing in disguise (obviously not to wish injury on him) but now it is clear how bad nash is and wont be masked by the big 3 playing together.

People complaining about losses because kyrie is playing part-time but we just lost 2 of the last 3 with him in the lineup, vs inferior teams. because of awful coaching.

Marks is to blame the most. with his disgusting move to pass up 10+ black/female coaches to hire his buddy.

Kyrie getting vaccinated, joe and KD healthy we would sitll not win a title, Nash is too awful a coach.

Also, people saying philly is a good spot? i get the morey connection but that team has insane drama and Embiid is the biggest loser in the NBA outside of towns.mentally weak always comes up short and all his teammates hate him
