When the ball is being shared, the game is enjoyable to play. That's why D'Antoni is some players favorite coach because of his philosophy
LeVert has really improved
Yeah he's just gotta slow down and he'll be a hell of a player. That jumper will come more consistently.
Tough loss tonight. Just couldn't close them out and Gordon couldnt miss. We really gotta step up our defense. Allen is a keeper. Need him to replace Mosgov sooner than later. He's defensive instincts are crazy. D'Angelo gotta simplify the passes but he played a good game.
Really has. Even if he doesn't improve substantially on the offensive end this season, his defense is already solid. Can block shots and stay with point guards on switches
Real tough loss. Got too sloppy towards the end. The long range wasn’t falling and we got t away from what put us in the lead. Kilpatrick still hasn’t gotten off the bench
Yeah Crabbe couldn't hit the side of a barn. Kilpatrick hopefully gets some playing time tomorrow. We need somebody who can get to the line
Spencer played big tonight. Great win.
He stepped up majorly
Just have to tighten up 4th quater defense
Stop the turnovers too and hit them fucking free throws
And get Mozgov out of the starting 5
oh god yes
DAHITMAN
Rising Star
Bring in jarret Allen
And get another big man
I mean we got Zeller but he can't get off the bench and Kuzma would have been good but we wouldn't have Russell if we kept that pick.
DAHITMAN
Rising Star
So I guess there wasn't any other way to get Russell without trading Kuzma
Yup. RHJ playing well so I ain't tripping too much. Him and Kuzma same age but RHJ play better defense.

Joseph Tsai agrees to purchase 49 percent minority stake in Nets, sources say
Joseph Tsai, the executive vice chairman and co-founder of Chinese e-commerce goliath Alibaba, has reached an agreement in principle to purchase a 49 percent minority stake in the Brooklyn Nets that includes the option to acquire controlling interest of the NBA franchise in several years, league sources told ESPN.
The purchase price will be based upon a $2.3 billion valuation of the team, league sources said.
Mikhail Prokhorov will remain principal and operating owner of the Nets for an additional four years, with a presumption that he will sell his majority stake upon the triggering of Tsai's option, league sources said.
Detroit Pistons.
Brooklyn earned only about $20 million from its local TV deal and pulled in $36 million in net local revenue last season -- also the lowest such figure in the league.
Tsai was born in Taiwan, was educated at Yale University -- both undergrad and law school -- and he holds a Canadian citizenship. Tsai has a rich personal history with athletics, including his days as a high school lacrosse and football player at the Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. Tsai was an avid pickup basketball player at Yale and has been a significant NBA fan for years. His business career has taken him from New York to Asia through the past three decades.
Tsai has expressed enthusiasm over the direction of the franchise with general manager Sean Marks and coach Kenny Atkinson, sources said, and ultimately plans to work on bridging his strong Asian business ties into global business opportunities for the Nets.
Prokhorov bought controlling interest in the Nets in 2010 and completed a deal for ownership of the Barclays Center in 2015. Prokhorov in 2010 set forth on a five-year timetable to try to win a championship. But the Nets ran up one of the NBA's highest payrolls and luxury tax bills, traded and swapped spots on multiple future first-round picks and ultimately delivered only one first-round playoff series victory.
In the past two seasons, the Nets won 20 and 21 games, respectively. This season, the Nets have been one of the NBA's early surprises, winning three of their first five games, including a victory over defending Eastern Conference champion Cleveland.
Since the hiring of Marks as general manager in 2016, the Nets have made significant strides in rebuilding the roster with talented young players, replenishing their pool of draft picks through deals and creating an environment of culture and professionalism. Prokhorov plans to continue with Marks' long-term rebuilding strategy.

That @ shit don't work for some odd reason. Glad he bought it before these last two games because boy I tell ya. Dinwiddie needs to start, Russell needs to play off the ball and Levert needs his minutes reduced significantly.
I noticed yesterday that Russell gets lazy on pick and roll defense. He allowed a couple easy baskets not even attempting to follow his player. Dinwiddie is earning a bigger role
Yeah if he ain't scoring the rest of his game is effected. It's crazy how important Carroll is too this team. If he's off or hurt, we probably losing.
Gotta find ways to get Jarret Allen more involved 2-2-0 is not gonna get it done from a big who’s athletic
He's still young so I really dont expect much on the offensive end from him. I just need him to do is rebound and contend at the rim. Any points are a bonus
