    Can't wait for Kelly Olynyk to put on a clinic in the first quarter and disappear for the rest of the game!

    Don't forget. KPJ said he would dunk on James Harden.

    emotionally confusing game, and sucks to know we are going in wanting to lose. What a moment to be a fan of this team. Martin Jr give us something to remember please.

    A KPjr dunk on Harden is our crowning achievement for the year.

    I am not psychic but I think we win also

    I was going to post that earlier today and be on the first page to say we will win.. but I would be bashed so I wanted to wait till someone else said it first

    Here's why I say we win

    The last two games the Nets only beat the Pistons by 2 points and barely squeaked by the timber wolves

    With Kelly now we are much better than the Pistons and Timberwolves.

    Without Durant the Nets aren't winning anything such as the championship.. everybody is intimidated by them for some reason but without Durant they are just slightly good but not great

    they can't Scout us because we didn't have half these players when they last played us March 3rd

    .they won't know what to do with Kelly and Augustin

    If wood plays even better..

    I'm not guaranteeing a win but I think we have a really really good chance I don't know why everybody here thinking we're going to lose so for sure

    Wall seems to step it up for big games.. I don't know what it is about wall but against crappy teams he is a ball hog but against good teams he looks like a all-star..I think walls problem is all mental

    Gun to my head I say we win

    Let me just say this even without Durant the Nets are pretty good... If we win this game then you can forget about a top-four pick

    If Harden didn't party last night, look for another Harden triple double.

    Holy crap I just saw our starting lineup

    Wall was the weak link he is not playing

    Wood is back..

    I made a post in another thread yesterday saying our best lineup is Porter Brown tate Kelly and wood

    Our lineup today will be Porter Brown tate house and wood

    So silas is implementing 4/5ths of our best possible starting lineup

    Much better chance of winning

    Only thing I would change, is I would not start house I would start Tate at small forward instead of house

    and I would put Kelly at starting power forward or Center and keep wood in the starting lineup

    but by starting house it gives us the advantage of having kelly come off the bench which definitely improves our bench Brigade

    who knows maybe during the game if both wood and Kelly are playing great and Silas decides actually try to win a game for once instead of tanking, he might leave both wood and Kelly on the floor..

    Doubt it but damn I am tired of small balls
