Nets v. Heat | 3.26.2022 @ 8:00 PM on YES/NBATV

Prokorov · Post #1 » by **Prokorov** » Fri Mar 25, 2022 2:47 pm

Starters:
** Brooklyn **
Goran Dragic
Kyrie Irving
Bruce Brown
Kevin Durant
Andre Drummond

** Heat **
Kyle Lowry
Gabe Vincent
Jimmy Butler
Markieff Morris
Bam Adebeyo

Injuries:
Joe Harris - OUT (Ankle)
Ben Simmons - OUT (Ramp up)
Lamarcus Aldridge - OUT (Hip)
Seth Curry - Day to Day (Ankle)

Heat entire team is basically day to day: Robinson, Herro, Butler, Tucker, Martin. They play the Knicks tonight which helps our cause. unlikely all those guys play the 2nd of a back to back when they are day to day. We will know more tomorrow what their roster looks like.

Miami is also a candidate to begin resting, especially on back to backs. Spoelstra may also not want to show his cards now when we may play them in the first round. We have nearly beat them with just KD and just Kyrie the last 2. im optimistic we can pull this one out. in either event, 10 straight games for KD/Kyrie to ramp up

Lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Heat havent played great since we saw them last. they mostly beat up on lotto tanking teams. but not great basketball if you watched their games and inconsistent lineups. they seem to be coasting. Lowry has started to look good though, which scares me... i hoped he lost a step but was more likely coasting.

That scuffle between butler and haslem is probably a good thing for them. im sure they will stomp the knicks tonight. hopefully there is a letdown and guys rest after that. we need the win.

We play a back to back with charlotte next. that is a MUST win for us. if we lose to miami and charlotte we can kiss the 8 seed goodbye.

I think Nets smoke Miami and beat Charlotte; I think Kyrie/KD know what time it is...... Hopefully.

KD, KI and Curry are the best shooting trio in NBA history, so if Curry is back, Miami are in deep deep deep trouble.

Look at the roster construction, KD/Kai/Curry/Simmons play the role of Curry/KD/Green/Thompson of the old Warriors. This is what this Nets team is supposed to replicate. God bless the league when/if this happens.

Ben is in Miami with the team at practice, if he's flying that means his back must be trending towards being healthy.

I'm officially excited for this stretch run. Miami will be a tough matchup, no tougher than Boston or Memphis recently. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a good loss at this point. I still have faith in this core, especially with Kyrie fully participating. GO NETS!

I hope the Knicks take them to OT tonight

We have our sibling in a west coast in Clippers who's a sleeping monster. That team is on par with us and better coached. We might get away with Ben not being 100% this year, next year it won't be the case. I have no doubt they'll be representing WC in next 2-3 years. Logo created a monster again.

Welcome!

I'm a fan of the Boomers so it's actually pretty cool to have two aussie players on our squad :nod:

Yeah and Kyrie Irving was born in Melbourne too, not that he'd play for Boomers, but he's unpredictable enough to do anything 8-)

I love PG13s style of play and followed his game while he was in OKC. Awesome player and teammate; as good as Leonard and PG13 are though, it still isn’t on par with KD/Kai. Kyrie is a straight assassin when paired with a top 5 player.

Kyrie shooting .438 downtown this season, Seth Curry shooting .471 downtown, and Steph Curry only shooting .380

MrDollarBills · Post #19 » by **MrDollarBills** » Sat Mar 26, 2022 2:53 pm

Seth and Dragic are both playing tonight.

No excuses. Win.
