fun game. got absolutely destroyed on the boards. couldn't keep ja out of the paint.

He was on one tonight in the paint for sure. He was one point off from his career high/Memphis franchise high in scoring overall. Also DD had his 3rd quarter of basketball this entire season where he made zero FG on 5+ attempts. Very very rare that that happens.

I don't get Nash's lineups at all. And they have absolutely no offensive system. Trying to figure out what his plan is.

First of all - no he wasn’t. He was participating in the practices at home. Secondly, what kind of dumbass excuse is that. He wasn’t injured, and he’s like 25 (maybe younger?). He should be in shape, and even if he wasn’t — he could play into shape, like many players do to start the season. Nets are barely in the playoffs rn, suit up

Irving hasn't play a game six month but already in mid-season form in his first return match

Even though it appears (after one game) the Sixers fleeced 'em, I feel the Nets got back some good depth. When they get errbody back let's see how they look.

Nash doesn't have a plan. It's one of the reasons why the Nets won't go all the way because regardless of whatever amount of talent people claim they have (which in their mind is apparently enough to win a title and I think that's laughable), Nash has no idea how to use them.

If he was serious about helping a team win this season, he would have stayed ready to go. He could easily have been doing workouts 4 to 5 days a week and been in game shape. Its one thing to just need a few games off to get used to playing 5 on 5 again and learning the system but to need weeks and weeks is just ridiculous. Show's no commitment to the game at all.


From the first day of training camp to the first game of the NBA season is 3 weeks. Its usually just about a week of training camp before preseason games start.

Terrible turnover there by Giannis. Can’t happen.

They'd benefit from a more experienced assistant coach, like how MDA was there the first year and the offense looked like an organized system. I have no idea what they're running these days and neither do they.

James Johnson fouled him. That was nowhere near a block.

I was carefully watching Coby White on defensive possessions. He is so bad!
When his man isn't in the action, you would hope the bulls would be out of trouble; but nooo! he let his man get the offensive rebound or tip it to his guys on 3 consecutive possessions with less than 4 minutes left.
Psychotic. It didn’t make sense. I don’t know how you make it make sense

Bucks have been so overrated this year lol. Durant and Kyrie would’ve destroyed them last year if Kyrie didn’t go down let alone harden

Dragic took a weird long look into Irving's eyes there. Why? Making sure there's no fear in his eyes? wtf :lol:

The Nets should keep the ball away from Middleton at all cost
