OK, but that Danny Wolf shot that hit KD in the face was peak.

That Amen Thompson layup was absolutely filthy. Kyrie esque.

That was easily his most complete game of the season, especially shooting wise.

They’re so ass without MPJ

To be fair, a ton of teams are ass without their best player.

I always laugh when people say Mike’s stats are empty. It’s not even the efficiency part. Just watch a game where he’s not playing and one with him in. Two completely different teams (not even in the same league).

Unironically it reminds me of early Denver seasons with Jok in some way. The other teams I watch don’t have things extreme like that, e.g., Cavs, Heat, Bulls, etc.

On a more serious note—hopefully Nets find an “official” PG/ballhandler soon.

Happy new year everyone!

Wasn’t that the point of drafting 3 point guards?

Don’t know what he’s been watching but the rookie PGs have been developing nicely. It ain’t even that bad. Demin isn’t a primary ball handler yet, but he’s aware of his weaknesses and he’s still working on them. Saraf is a mystery still. Traore needs to work on his shooting and some decision making, but even then, it’s not even that bad.

On average, PGs develop the slowest anyways. Nets aren’t supposed to make any noise this year. I’m not mad.

I mean, their best players didn’t play.

I don’t think that changes much - they’re still pretty bad - what happened the other 20 losses?

Best defense in December. They’re not the worst.

It’s the circle of life of a team, I’m sure you remember when your young team was getting their doors blown off just 4-5 years ago.

Part of fhe process. As long as the young guys are developing, it’s all good.

I do, and they were objectively bad then. Some nights, they’re still objectively bad.
