I don't think our shooting is an anomaly anymore. Jok is getting good shooters good looks and it's lit.

Yep…MPJ and Murray are starting to do some of the heavy lifting on the offensive end and it’s clearly reducing the burden on Jokic…hope it continues and the team stays healthy…?

Kyrie back on Sunday & Simmons has risen from the dead

Nets to implode in 3, 2, 1

Simm balled out. Got awful whistle though, hope that was a one off. They didn't let him play

Been that way all season

He’s no poster boy & it seems like they’re trying to teach him a lesson

KD was caned as well

Wait until Kyrie gets back

He won’t get any calls but is crazy enough to drop 30 every week anyway

Bogut is out there but he revealed what the NBA is all about

As soon as the Warriors realised that the league wanted them to win, they went all in on illegal screens, etc & that played a big part in their championships

 

[duffer]

Lol, that's an awful one for the Mavs to drop. Many thanks

Durant overtakes Jordan without playing well this season

He’s almost unguardable at basically 6’11”while being arguably the greatest shooter in history

Just shoots over everyone when he’s motivated

A full strength Nets team loses against the Sixers playing without Embiid, Harden & Maxey…?

Apart from Simmons (who’s still only about 80% fit anyway), they were truly awful

KD looked like he didn’t care, Kyrie has been off with the pixies since his return, Joe Harris can hardly move on defence and couldn’t hit water from a boat and they need a 5 in the worst way

Murray gots a long way to go before being himself again but he's still got the clutch gene

Unlike Klay Thompson, who has devolved into an inefficient chucker this season

Nets in 4th after Kyrie, coaching change, massive injury toll and with a dysfunctional roster

Vaughn is so much better than Nash that it’s not funny but it also helps having arguably the best offensive player

 

[Anil]

as currently constituted, i still don't see them beating the celtics or the bucks (when their key players are healthy) in a playoff series in the east...

 

[social]

They won’t

Desperate for a stretch big

Jokic with an absurd stat line but Nuggets are between a rock & hard place with Murray & MPJ injury problems

 

[duffer]

Muzz will be fine I think and AG has gone up levels so far this season. Mike's contract is a disaster though. A literal franchise killer. Can only pray he does anything of significant value during it.

 

[social]

Porter’s situation is just strange

Massive red flags & they literally gifted him a max when nobody else would

 

[duffer]

He can light you up like a KD lite and is a beast on the glass. It was a huge gamble for us but TC sucked at making trades so took it. He bolted and left Calvin with a huge problem as a parting gift

Aaron Gordon deserves way more love. Stellar season so far
