    So can I @ you every time he has a bad game? I’m certain he’ll go 17/24 on the regular and be the next Harden and destroy all the future picks they owe us!! :eek::eek::eek:

    I'm down to wait till the end of the season and see who would've been pinged more. Just tired of seeing people hate on any non Allstars not on the Rockets but any nobody we have who puts together a decent 5 minute run is the next best thing.

    Mikal game s very mature! He can be a nice piece anywhere. Not sure if he can be alpha or 'carry', to be fair not even Durant who people I am sure think of as of somebody that is beyond his ceiling, ever did anything carrying on his own.

    Despite of being glorified so much as a 3pt shooting 7 footer fetish Durants or even Lebron's accomplishment are not much in this league when playing as a lone star, and they failed multiple times even with a multiple allstar supporting cast.

    Durant even struggled to win when on 70 win warriors team and needed all the refs help you can get to succeed. He is really one of the the most overrated players. I am taking Harden over him any day of the week. Yes durant can shot but his creation is nowhere near Hardens, as well as his career accomplishments as we have reviewed them now. People are so easily fooled by appearances and the media.

    So thats that!

    Cam sanity is over? That had more of a "von Wafer energy" to it than "Jeremy Lin energy"

    I'm surprised he's coming off the bench.

    oh, green would be sitting on the Nets bench, as well, that's for sure.
    Man so many overhyped SGs in that 2021 draft: what happened to Moody? Tre Mann? Jared Springer? Bouknight?
    Q. Grimes is only one who's balling right now...

    Exactly. Basically every team in the league has an all star level player or 2. Nets have a bunch of role players and half their cap tied up in a broken loser nailed to the bench.

    The Nets are 1-4 since trading Kevin Durant. And while Dinwiddie says he, Cam Thomas, Mikal Brides or any of a number of Nets can hit a clutch shot, he readily admits they’re not going to get the benefit of star treatment in those key fourth-quarter minutes that set up any such last-second finale. Like Dinwiddie dunking on Onyeka Okongwu with 9:13 left, getting fouled but getting hit with a technical for saying “and one.” Or Young making nine free throws, including several on his same rip-through move. Or Dinwiddie being afraid to challenge the Hawks star with force on his game-winner at the buzzer.

    You mean the same calls we notice the Rockets don’t get in close games while getting bent over by Refs on other end?
    Amazing how that works lol
