ABC Primtetime Special: Nets @ Warriors 8:30 PM (EST)

[tpols]

KD coming back to Golden State to face the master Chef.

Let's go.

:rockon:

[Axe]

The nets better not fukk up in this game

[Nike D'Antoni]

Nets starters against the Golden State Warriors:

PG: Kyrie Irving
SG: Bruce Brown
SF: Joe Harris
PF: James Harden
C: Kevin Durant


For WARRIORS

Stephen Curry
Andrew Wiggins
Kelly Oubre
Juan Toscano-Anderson
Draymond Green

This should be 150 - 130 score

[Nike D'Antoni]

DeAndre Jordan is out for Brooklyn & James Wiseman is out for Golden State.

[It's A VC3!!!]

I will be watching how Kevin Durant plays primarily. I'm sure he is very upset that he's been out twice due to contact tracing and the team went 1-3 in his recent absence. For some reason I feel a 40-piece from him tonight. Although I just hope our defense can show signs of improvement today. It's getting unbearable watching the opposing team score 130 points every game.

LOL.... I hyped it, but this will be a Nets blow out.

And I almost read Bruce Brown as Bruce Bowen. Damn you...

[RRR3]

Curry will probably score 70 against the Wets defense.

[Axe]

I guess this is another opportunity for oubre to shine up in a game, to outscore his own teammate curry.

[hold this L]

Not sure what to expect this game. Nets basically have the GOAT bad shotmaking team, and the Warriors have slowly gotten into a top 5 defense this season. Would be shocked if they're still there by the end of this match, but I would be really happy if they keep them from dropping 115+ somehow...

Jordan being out means their rim protection should be slowed down, which should give Steph more space to score inside. I feel like with Steph, we'll either get Jekyll or Hide. He'll either have a garbage shooting night after several weeks of hitting nothing but net, or he will drop 50 or 60 on their trash ass defense. Dray needs be on his A+ game, and hopefully the bench won't be a disgusting shitshow that they've been for a straight month now. They've been ruining leads by double digits for 6 minutes.

Strength in numbers.

You know I'm a huge Chef fan, But I just threw 100 moneyline on my guys. I'll only make 70 bucks but whatever.... Almost even odds here is a steal.

I’m pretty positive Steph will go off unless someone told him it’s Christmas or something.

[Stephonit]

The Nets will show up for this one and the Warriors as great as Curry has been are still treading only slightly above .500. Big Nets win to be expected. They cannot allow themselves to be on the losing end of a legendary loss.

[RRR3]

Durant playing center lol. Of course they can get away with it against the Warriors.

[StrongLurk]

Nets should blow out the Warriors

[RRR3]

Nets should blow out the Warriors
Idk the worst defense of all time against Steph Curry sounds like trouble.

[StrongLurk]

Durant playing great defense this game as Center.

[KOBEtherealKing]

Wiggins ass :oldlol:

[Nike D'Antoni]

Kyrie just pulled a Paul George. Way off P.

[Manny98]

KD at the 5 is a literal cheat code :oldlol:

[Nike D'Antoni]

Way Off

[StrongLurk]

KD at the 5 is a literal cheat code :oldlol:

If he and Lebron played on the same team, they'd win the chip every year. Imagine a small ball unit with them at the 4/5?

[Axe]

Pretty sure kd is still familiar with how curry acts and moves around the floor. They'll probably try to swarm him as much as possible, which means oubre is going to be open. Granting he's not clumsy enough this time with his layups and jumpshots, he could lead the warriors to a win. Also joe harris is the nets pf in this affair, not james harden.

[Axe]

Durant playing great defense this game as Center.
Should green harass him later on?

[RRR3]

Kyrie’s defense is horrendous my god :oldlol:

[Axe]

Oof curry already has 10 in q1

[StrongLurk]

I've seen 5-6 Nets games this year and every single one of them was an amazing, wire-to-wire game. Hoping this one is too.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Nets will create separation when Curry goes to the bench.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Shamet is huge. Fouled on 3 pointer.

[Manny98]

Who needs a center :oldlol:

[It's A VC3!!!]

Very solid quarter on both ends of the floor by the Nets. This second quarter is huge. The Nets can enter the first half up by double digits or tied up depending on how they play this quarter. 9 point lead after the first quarter and Kyrie has only 2 points.

[Axe]

Curry with 12 already but his team lagging behind by almost ten after q1

[Manny98]

Harden just turned the ball over 3 times in a 2 minute span :facepalm

[Hey Yo]

KD coming back to Golden State to face the master Chef.

Let's go.

:rockon:

Who you rooting for considering that you refer to the Nets as "we" when you post about them?

[Axe]

Harden with 7 assists

[Nike D'Antoni]

There is massive improvement in nets defense last 2 games. Pacers, and this one

[Axe]

Nine players have scored at least three for nets

[StrongLurk]

Durant playing great defense this game as Center.

Still playing great defense.

This dude really can do everything in basketball and is a freak athlete.

I still believe he can enter the top 10 all time by the time he retires.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Wow. Nets defense holding Curry to 1- 7 from 3 point line

[RRR3]

Kyrie only 6 shots at halftime and Nets up big. You’d think that’d get the point through to him but I doubt it will.

[hold this L]

Can't win when the other team has 50% more rebounds.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Just win the 3rd quarter Nets and the game will be yours. Let's not have this game be a nail-bitter in the fourth. Have some tough games next week & our stars could use the rest. 16 assists in the first half by the Nets and allowed the Warriors to shoot 39%. Love it.

[RRR3]

Maybe Kerr should play Smailagic :lol

[Axe]

Intriguing. But he's still leading his team in points. I was expecting oubre to score more in the first half somehow.

[tpols]

Harden is the new age Magic.

[StrongLurk]

Nets should blow out the Warriors

Yep, blow out.

I can't believe people think this Nets team isn't making the finals out of the East :roll:

[tpols]

I misread.

[StrongLurk]

Lol at Van Gundy and Mark Jackson acting like Rod Strickland would be Kyrie Irving level in this era. What an absurd, 90's nostalgia take. At his best he was an 18ppg scorer on 47 EFG%.

[Stanley Kobrick]

I see stephen curry still refuses to guard kyrie irving, standing in the corner sucking his thumb on jeff green

[It's A VC3!!!]

The passes that Harden made was a thing of beauty. Just insane pocket passes that resulted in easy layups for Green & Brown. Kyrie was sensational as well with his drives to the basket. I love when he drives to the basket with force like this rather than settle for jump shots since he is our best slasher on the team. 28 assists after 3 quarters is wonderful to see. It's just one game & the Warriors are a small team but when we play small teams like this DJ should come off the bench and we should play small-ball. Great team win & it feels good not having the Warriors drop 130 on us.

[Bronbron23]

Curry will probably score 70 against the Wets defense.

You forgot to factor in the the impact that the finals atmosphere would have on steph

[highwhey]

i trust curry's elite defense will bring them back into the game :D

[Stanley Kobrick]

glaring difference between Harden getting everyone on his team involved, playmaking and then stephen curry who just runs around screens, doesn't contribute unless it's shooting 3's (1-8 tonight)

[tpols]

Kyrie unstoppable.

[RRR3]

Steph has been disappointing tonight.

[Indian guy]

The Harden trade was always a league-killing move. Nets will win the championship with anything resembling average defense.

Nah.

[Axe]

Apparently oubre never got to outscore curry again since almost 10 days ago so that's why they had to take the L in this game :(

[Nike D'Antoni]

Nets defense came up big

[Axe]

Nets defense came up big
Yup. Pretty much, darling.

[HylianNightmare]

this warriors team isn't easy on the eyes

[Axe]

Only 43 points to go for curry to have at least 70 points in total with around three minutes remaining. Can he do it against one of the worst defensive teams in the league?

[tpols]

James "Magic" Harden with 16 dimes. :pimp:

So i guess the answer is no? Ah ok.

[imdaman99]

So convenient for OP to rep his Nets hard now after being a Warriors fan for so long. Who knew he wasn't gonna stick around with them once they weren't stacked and a threat to Lebron any more?

[Mr. Woke]

The Nets haven't won every game lol.

Besides, super teams always attract lots of interest. That has been a recurring theme throughout NBA history.

If they say that bran has benefited from it, then so do the others.

You must not know who he was to make this comment.

At his peak he was a 21ppg and 11 assist type player (playoffs) and his handles were legendary and he's why Kyrie has his handles (Strickland is his Godfather)

[hold this L]

Disappointing game. Stopping the Nets from scoring 130 is going to be a nightmare, especially when Harden stops trying to score and becomes a primary playmaker. Kyrie and KD makes some of the toughest shots in the league, and Harden is at worst 1 of the 3 best playmakers in the league. Their defense still sucks even though it can lock in at moments, but question who can outscore these dudes 4 times in a series.

You don't outscore people in the playoffs. You out execute them, and the Nets only execute on one side.

Who can out execute them in the playoffs? Good defenses that have good offenses.

We will see.. but them regularly scoring 130+ points makes them quite a team. Should be interesting because they're about the play the Clippers and Lakers soon enough. Should be a good test.

[Mauzah]

I'm no Harden fan but its been cool to watch him play facilitator. Respect.

[sundizz]

Same.

Harden really embracing being a facilitator is next level dangerous. His flaw was always trying to do too much isolation ball and score.

I’m not a fan of him either but this Nets team legit scary. They’re gonna crush the Eas.

Harden's gotta be one of the best alley oop passers ever. especially orchestrated out of the pick and roll. The fact that he can switch his game up this heavily shows the ridiculous level of skill he has. And it's refreshing to see the flopping stop, don't need to flop when you're being the passer.
