That could potentially turn into a Jameer Nelson situation for them though.


I'm sure they'll eventually figure out that starting Aldridge at center and not power forward isn't beneficial to them.

Then we'll see Deandre at the 5, Aldridge at the 4, KD at the 3, Harden at the 2 and Kyrie at the 1.

So they'll have their size back. But who knows.. maybe D'Antoni will never figure it out lol

And do they need another ball dominating guard? Kyrie, Harden will play much longer in the playoffs

Dinwiddie is such a scrub That is what I call EMPTY numbers. What is he from 3pt land? 30%?

You are out of your mind. Joe Harris is a 50% shooter from 3 and guards the best guard on the other team.

15 PPG on FG% 50.8 3PT% 47.8


That is GODLIKE efficiency and floor spreading.

Thought he meant that from the perspective of nets fan, he is right though. Harris is the only guy that scares me on that team.

ISO players don't scare me in the modern NBA.

BTW, KCP did a good job on contesting KD jumpers and he succesful in limiting him. If KCP can distract him like that, I wont doubt that AD will give him a problem defensively and offensively.

This game showed that the only thing that KD can do now is to shoot a jumpshot, he seldomly attacks the rim now.


I think KD is holding back a bit right now but his defenses surprised me on a few possessions. Kawhi would just back him down

Y'all make some good points but if healthy (big if) he would be more useful than TLC and Shamet

Kyrie was getting cooked by Schroder all night long, so, naturally, he had to make a spectacle about a non-issue.

Not worried about Dinwiddie. Coming back from injury I don't see him being a difference maker for either team winning.

Truly enjoy watching Kyrie play (outside of his personality) since he reminds me a lot of Kobe, but this comment is so true Kyrie seems emotionally fragile, and LeBron/Trez/Morris/AD/Caruso could easily get in his head if Schroder can.

Sixers are confident after watching the Lakers/Nets Saturday.

They have the same type of personnel the Lakers do and they see the matchup problems it creates for the Nets.

But as always with the Sixers, Simmons has to be willing to take 3s and make a couple. They got more shooting than in the past, but Simmons has to start taking them and making a few.

Sure. If they shoot 55.9% from three, they can probably beat the Nets.

Lakers had to shoot well from 3 because no LeBron or AD. That’s going to be the formula until they get back.

Imo the Nets are still the favorite to get out of the East, but I am skeptical of their interior defense and size issues. We will see how it plays out when they face a physical team like the Sixers (if we get that matchup).

On a separate note, man I just don’t know how the Nets are going to win the Chip with all their off the court drama.

You got KD fighting anyone and everyone on twitter.

Kyrie is not dependable in terms of when he wants to play and when he hates basketball.

Harden is not likely to give up or decrease his strip club appearances and partying even if it is the playoffs.

That’s a lot to deal with for a team trying to get the chip. Just seems like a ton of distractions and in the 24/7 news cycle it makes the issues with Rodman in the 90s seem like nothing lol.
