    We outscored them 31 to 29! We have a shot at scoring 100 points tonight. We have a shot to win a game tonight

    What a bright future we have!

    Obviously when Harden returns, he replaces Melo in this lineup.

    This should be the starting lineup and should have been the starting lineup to start the season.

    The fact that we happy with being down only 5 points at the half for the freaking nets, that alone is alarming

    Defense still trash, Nets are shooting basically 70%...i laugh to not cry. At least Chris and Clint are doing great.

    Melo needs to catch and shoot, post up scrubs but he must stop with those forced shots he creats, they are trash like his defense, Ryan Anderson like if not worse.

    Gordon...his head is just not there i guess.

    MCW makes me miss Brewer.

    Its so sad that the only team last season where we could say that in that type of tone was the Warriors.

    A lot of that is on rebounding .

    And a lot of that is on our switching bigs onto quick guards .

    Ennis needs to rebound better . I didn't think Ariza was THAT much better than he is at that skill , but it appears so .

    Honestly , if Clark can keep his shooting up and limit mistakes on D , he would be our best rebounding option at the 3.

    We didn't have any bigs last year either tho .

    Also I do have hope for hartenstein, but maybe that's just because I'm white hahaha .

    * also I know hart is black

    Yep.

    We are giving up 70%...that's crazy. At that point you just man up and hope for the best.

    You know it's bad when EG has more turnovers than made shots. Let's hope the 2nd half is better. I'm tired of watching him throw his arms out all night because he isn't getting the fouls called.

    That's also in part because our defensive strategy is to put Capela on guards on the perimeter 60% of the game.

    The nets were taking advantage of our switching , but not because they were getting mismatches , it's because they weren't rotating properly to help .

    Are you serious? You think EG is better than Melo? He sure isn't shooting at a higher percentage.
