    Kyle can still pass as a 20 year old who couldn't get his drinking game going.

    This is actually good for the entire Nets org.

    Gives a chance for players (like Donta Hall) to show what he can do and play for future contracts.
    Gives a chance for players to get some solid experience playing against the champs.
    Gives a chance for the Nets front office to see who can play well / play alongside Durant and Irving whenever the next season starts.

    Regardless of the outcome of this series, the Nets are in good shape.

    After 33 point lead it's been under 10 so I still give Brooklyn a chance to steal one, but man Raptors make it look so easy, so much talent. I'd kill for VanVleet.

    Does anyone feel like these guys get better shots than we do???? Like seriously these guys are just better shooters. Like we get these type of shots all the time, our dudes just miss.

    Naw, the Rockets get some of the best shots in the league, Rockets just miss those shots, lol. Harden consistently gets doubled leaving players wide open.

    Raptors are just better shooters. nobody is doubling anybody on the Raptors team.

    To me, these look awful - like a pair of shoes you'd see on the clearance rack.

    I've never seen a team get as many wide open three pointers as the Rockets consistently do. Maybe because other squads know our guys aren't great 3 point shooters.

    We were 24th in the league in 3p fg%.

    didn’t even bother with this one...nothing interesting whatsoever about this series or the Milwaukee-Orlando series

    This series at least has Caris Levert, but Milwaukee-Orlando? That’s the NBA TV series

    Raptors are how a team should be built. Morey should probably take some lessons from Masai Ujiri.

    This begs the question. Why are we not having more good shooters?

    While Morey built 3 different contending teams, Masai built one and got a bit of help with Lebron leaving the East. You need a little bit of luck and hard work to win this chips. Rockets and Morey have no luck.
