NETS
Curry - OUT - Ankle
Dragic - OUT - Quarantined in Atlanta
Sharpe - OUT
Duke Jr - OUT
Simmons - OUT
Harris - OUT
Johnson - Questionable :pray:

Brown - Available

Nash says they may rest Curry until the Play-In. Might need to think long & hard about doing that for everyone.

ROCKETS
Gordon - OUT
Wood - OUT
Schroder - OUT

No Dragic and Curry makes our shooting so horrible.

Wonder in Nash continues giving all the minutes to Johnson and Mills after theyve been horrible for the past month.

Eon't be surprised if KD goes for 50 again and we lose.

Need Kyrie to snap out of this slump.

Jalen Green career high incoming.

I am tempted to take the Rockets at +17.

We have no choice but to play Mills without Dragic and Seth to provide shooting

Johnson's minutes should be going to Kessler and Blake.

What game was it where Blake kept messing up that took him out of the rotation for good?

Rumor has it one time Blake said James Johnson was trash and Nash just lost it...

You would think with 3 of the best shooters in the league we would find a way to space/shoot. only nash man...

i put our chances of winning at 0.1%. they will run us off the floor early and we will give up until the play in

Blake got the team to play tight defense and created opportunities on both ends on the floor in which we took a lead and defended it til the final buzzer.

Nash didn't appreciate winning if its not iso bball!

Watch, I guarantee Nash will have a line up of Kyrie/Brown/KD/Johnson/Drummond out there

The play call? None. It will be KD and Kyrie taking turns going ISO versus multiple defenders. No off ball screen action plays, no back door cuts. We'll just have two non shooters standing in the corners watching KD/Kyrie take contested shot after shot.

What an absolute circus this is.

He got yanked and benched during Game 17. He was on an 8 game 3 point draught, which was unacceptable to Nash (even though we were 12-5 without a minute of Kyrie). He started getting some burn during the Omicron onslaught & then went back to an inconsistent role when everybody returned.

Basically, early season impressions mattered. Nash couldn't shake those first 17 games for Blake as compared to LMA's shooting start. The nail in the coffin was getting Drummond back in the trade.

I’m really saddened about Herb. I really wanted him to witness a championship.

RIP. Condolences to his family and colleagues.

Kyrie came ready to play, KD is sleepwalking on defense so far

TheNetsFan · Post #17 » by **TheNetsFan** » Wed Apr 6, 2022 12:06 am

Nash is going to troll everyone by not playing Blake even with Johnson out.

MrDollarBills · Post #18 » by **MrDollarBills** » Wed Apr 6, 2022 12:13 am

Glad i took Rockets +17. The Nets have multiple turnovers and just look lost defensively against one of the worst teams in the league.

I'll be taking the Knicks on the moneyline and spread tomorrow too. I'm so sick of this crap that I'm going to start gambling against them.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #19 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Wed Apr 6, 2022 12:14 am

Nash is really opting to play Aldridge big minutes, who hasn't played in a month rather than Griffin. This guy just keeps getting dumber.

Did Griffin sleep with his wife?

I saw that. Damn shame. Didn't Herb just retire too? I hate seeing that, you work all your life and then soon after you retire you pass away. Sad.
