niko looks 15 years old speaks perfect english hardly an accent
We’ll take the W
cam thomas dorian finney smith and i didnt see claxton either
nets prob worse team in nba
a win versus one of the worse teams in nba
They are 23rd, 7 teams worse. But, yeah
no claxton finney smith cam thomas .
Okay, 29 1/2.
cant wait to see josh christopher in nba next year i think he can really be a good player
Yes
bams not a center i repeat and ud seconds this
When a player, in this case Ware, is doing well, I hate to see any coach take that player out.
jovic played excellent tonight
That is one tough young man
pelleplays bball like football hes one rugged swedish danish dude
There is the future core of the team – Ware, Bam, sf, Herro, pg.
if ware and bam played 30 mins together with terry jim ty id take my chances versus any team
WARE
niko wtf
Dancing with the stars
continuation play doesnt count anymore that bam hoop shouldnt count rc?
Missed it. Probably your fault. I was probably writing a comment to you.
gotta know when to post i do cust service from home i can type fast
ty needs a week off or else hes gonna get injured
boston fleeced the nets that was a great trade for them.okc just added caruso and shtein.okc has done a great job of rebuilding. also do u think pats capable of rebuilding not sure .theres no guarntee the rebuild will be successful and how long will it take
After Boston dealt Pierce and KG to the Nets, they were bad. Houston, Cleveland, OKC, and Knicks all were bad for varying amounts of time. Now we want to be like them. You have to sacrifice a little to retool a team. Adding vets isn’t always the answer as evidenced by Clippers, 76ers, Nets, and, so far, Suns, amongst others
how bout adding a bron or bosh.or gsw adding kd.den added aaron gordon.minn added gobert.dallas added kyrie goes both ways.knicks didnt really draft they acquired brunson in fa then made good trades.cleve got donovan traded for allen.gm is the key pats failed the heat as 30 has mentioned
Yes, sometimes that works as well. And I know you don’t like to talk about the cap stuff, but it does factor in. And we really have limited assets to trade.
how does boston fit under the cap pls explain
I googled this and there’s a long explanation:
how do the Boston Celtics have so many good players and manage the salary cap?
creative cap mgmt
I didn’t see the Dru injury. Hope he’s okay, but if not, the Heat is lucky they didn’t sign him to a regular contract. If that’s the case, may be Stevens time to get the 2-way.
looks serious non contact injury just lost his footing
That’s a concern. He’s played his heart out.
played great both sides
The trend continues.
no jimmy this is what your gonna get rc
But where we see things differently is, sure, with Butler, they have a better chance of winning this game. But it doesn’t mean the team is good or any type of contender. We’ve lost games to mediocre or worse teams even when he has played.
I am squarely with SunMan, 30, BigGuy, and others on this issue.
prob right move is to trade him but it depends what u get back
Totally agree
ty or bam cant be your 2 best players going forward
And you are 100% right on that. They could maybe be 2 and 3 with the right #1.
if u can get a #1 (top 10-12 player) no guarantee on that 50 50 chance id say.if u dont your not making playoffs
tys worn out
tys not fresh anymore prob needs a game or 2 off
that dru injury worries me 30 lookedbad
wheres ware spobot
herros missed 3 layups legs are getting tired
simmons was suppose to be the next magic
Uh oh, a lead? After last game, I’ll wait until we’re up by 10 with 5 seconds to play 😆
True. And now Dru hurt, our lead could be ephemeral (just felt like forcing a big word into the thread for no good reason).
ben simmons the biggest underachiever in sports?
Ware may never come out of the line-up. Let’s hope so.
Rec! Little nostalgia there.
It’s only because you so rarely see this, but….just goes to show you, crappy players come in all persuasions.
these are the best players in the world 30
I know. But, the Nets are playing horribly so far.
harden kyrie kd on diff teams now
war3
Ware already paying dividends.
needs to play with bam
u have ty dunc together opponent will get lots good looks
I liked that play by Jovic. That is a big ability, power forward move.
This line up can hardly bring the ball up. Need Dru fast.
nonathletic team panthers down 3 0
no jim no terry
