Time to stomp the knicks out. after last game they are officially our biotches. we have destroyed them with big performances, big combacks, and last second big shot wins in the Kyrie/KD era. gotta keep that going



Lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The Knicks have played better recently but the Nets now have to play playoff basketball intensity in every game. We have to capture the 7th seed to avoid a play in scenario in Toronto.

The Sixers game was the blue print. We have to be aggressive on both ends. KD has to dominate.

[Prokorov]

Playoff/locked in Kyrie is a different beast. The last week+ we have played the top 3 teams in the east. the result:

And a must win game with a 4 game losing streak vs. a team in the 8 seed ahead of us he goes nuclear:

I think people forget just how good kyrie is cause he plays with durant and has been off the court so much. The season he had last year is one of the 10 best scoring seasons ever and one of just 4 years of 27ppg on 50/40/90. He is playing at a prime Bird/Curry/KD level offensively the last 2 seasons

We can not lose any games against teams we should beat.....

Look at the names you listened you have to care about bball to reach that level. I get some frustration about the Kai situation. But to question if he even wants to be a basketball player, his making alot of yall look stupid.

[MrDollarBills]

Eric Adams is a jerk off. Full stop.

[ecuhus1981]

Our crosstown rivals would love nothing more than to extinguish our little hot streak, and I'm sure they remember KD's tweet. This is their Finals game 7. We'll need to prepare for a difficult fight. More of the intensity and focus that we saw on Thursday would be excellent. Let's go, Brooklyn.

[Hello Brooklyn]

This won't be an easy win.

No Kyrie puts a ton of pressure on the bench guys. And too many minutes on KD.

Need to get Kyrie full time ASAP. Enough of this stupid mandate.

And Simmons needs to start practicing already!

Stupid is not realizing what's going on. Did Kyrie sign that extension? OK than.

I can guarantee you he won't show up if Marks/Tsai give him that extension. He don't care period.

He's next contract SHOULD NOT BE GUARANTEED AT ALL!!! You can't count on Kyrie period.

You know why he ain't top 5-10 player? OK than. Calling people stupid without thinking what you just said... what that makes you?

[GTR11]

All of us here had Kyrie's back once he got here. I personally got banned from GB going at it vs Saltics fans and rest of them. What he did next...?

Kyrie gets his share of blame for obvious good reasons.

No one here said he's a scrub, we all know he ain't. It's the other stuff he does. All we ask him to do is just honor his contract, that's it, nothing else.

Cavs not going to hold on to that 6 seed. They going to plummet from here. They keep playing around they'll end up at 9 soon quick.

I don't know now about this team. This Kyrie situation is what holding us hostage. Ben is a luxury addition, Kyrie is that piece that will make or break us. Staying at 8 and going vs ATL or Cavs might be best option for us. At the end of the day I have no doubt we'd be getting that 7 seed.

As for this Ping Pong team. I won't mind losing
the game so we just can fugazi their s*** . It'll do more damage in a min.

Kyrie did not sign his extension because Marks and co pulled it.
Cant count on kyrie to do what not show up for big games?
Now your talking a totally non guaranteed contract yea thats sounds possible smfh

This is typical Kyrie fan. They do exist. Now imagine what Kyrie can do to them...

[ecuhus1981]

Let's remain on topic, everyone. We need an United Front for today's game.

So, Prok optimistically listed Kyrie as one of our starters for today. I'm right there with on hope, BUT just in case Adams doesn't about face at literally the last second, we're not gonna have KAI today. So, who would be your pick to start?

My guess is it'll be Johnson. Along with Kevin and Drummond, I'm not a fan, but Steve seems to be force feeding PT to James right now.

I would be happy with Dragic getting the start. He seems to get defenses on their heels, and create open looks off of generic system action.

I love Patty, but no thank you to him starting. When it was necessary and we had no one else, he did a yeoman's job, but he paid for it on the back end. He looks comfy in his 22mpg role now, let's leave him there.

Could Cam reprise his role as Knicks killer? Do we get schwifty and switch everything with Nic??? You tell me!

[_Und3r][D4wg_]

idc if KD turns the ball over 8 times, or Drummond gets neutralized on offense by a 6'4" defender under the basket, or Johnson plays (h/z)ero ball for 38 mins straight... Just please find a way to avoid a letdown loss to the Knicks of all teams right after putting the fear of God onto East contenders & their fans with last game's annihilation of the Sixers.

It's already too late in the season for this 'one-step-forward, two-steps-backward' BS... We need to finally make sustained progress towards reaching our true Nets-level in time for the Play(offs/in).

Nets let's gooooo!!!

We started:
Dragic
Curry
Brown
KD
Drummond

against the heat. id assume it would be that group again

That game was low key a bad thing for cam.... since then he has done nothing but take step back YOLO 30 foot threes early in the clock. he needs some humble pie

They should be the betting favorites. it will be mostly knicks fans in the stands. Thibs >>>>>> Nash and the knicks just went toe to toe with the grizz. they wont blow another 30 point lead and 1 star aint enough fo nash.

The knicks team isnt far off the depleted heat team that just embarassed us

[Prokorov]

I hate that this is a 1PM weekend start. those games are always low energy and we come out low energy to start with. i think this will be like last game only we dont erase the 30 point lead this time.
