GT: 2022/4/2 HUGE Playoff/Play-In Implications: Hawks vs. Nets !!

[ArbitraryWater]

Both 40-37

[AlternativeAcc.]

Nets will win by 20 and KD/Irving will dominate

Pretty predictable

i got what i call a hopeful bet on the hawks

normally i dont do these, but its a small stake and since i won 15 thousand 1 week ago (my by far biggest win ever), im well in the plus and can afford it.

Good thing you don't bet because you would get your money taken. Hawks have beat every top team in the league but you believe they lose by 20 at home. Ok

Nets by 20

[AirBonner]

Hawks by 20. That nets defense is laughable

[ArbitraryWater]

Dragic out.

[ArbitraryWater]

KD with 15 after 1, Nets up 2.

[noonereal]

Nets will win by 20 and KD/Irving will dominate

Pretty predictable

Never happen with Nash as coach. The guy is godawful. He has killed this team.

[dankok8]

Wow I could watch this game but can't find it anywhere. KD with 25 points in the 1st half, Nets down 7. Yea... I think the Nets could very well miss the playoffs.

[ArbitraryWater]

Hawks destroying.

Up 15 at the half.


Nets don't wanna face this team in Atlanta for the final play-in game, beleeh' dat.

Yea... as I typed that the Hawks went on a 8-0 spurt. :lol

happened quickly indeed.


Seth Curry is invaluable.

Can really feel his missing presence.

Same reason why Philly won't go anywhere.

[FultzNationRISE]

Looks like it’s gettin ugly in the Dirty.

Curious to see if Kyrie can commandeer a second half comeback.

He’ll need to start by getting his point total above his FGA total.

[Chuckbe]

Refs on some BS

[tontoz]

Kyrie might be the other teams best defense against Durant. Kyrie's dribble fest takes touches away from Durant who is lighting it up.

[bladefd]

Hawks destroying.

Up 15 at the half.


Nets don't wanna face this team in Atlanta for the final play-in game, beleeh' dat.

They may not. If Hawks win tonight, they get 8th seed. Brooklyn get 9.

So in the play-in, Cleveland (7) plays Atlanta (8) and Nets (9) play Charlotte (10). Atlanta would only play Brooklyn if Cleveland beats Atlanta. If Atlanta beats Cleveland then Nets would play Cleveland for the 8th seed.

For Brooklyn, I would think they prefer the 8th seed (facing the Heat). Bucks are too good to face in 1st round so Nets should want to be seed 9 or 10 to avoid Bucks in 1st round.

[SATAN]

5-18...

[Proctor]

Mills is still lost out there and Irving has been shit lately. Pretty much just Durant, Edwards and an occasional Drummond move. :roll:

No Aldridge sighting when the Nets are struggling to find scoring. Nash :facepalm

Why you explaining all this like we don‘t know? :P

[Proctor]

Durant going TF off. Nash's lineups continue to be shit. What is Thomas doing out there?

[Proctor]

Holy **** Durant

[Manny98]

Holy **** Durant

The greatest scorer ever :bowdown:

[Manny98]

There we go Ree

[tontoz]

Holy **** Durant


44 in 3 quarters yet they are still losing. Durant must be like :banghead:

[FultzNationRISE]

Durant unleashing beast mode is going to come at a cost. I dont think Irving’s delicate inferiority complex can handle this.

Win or lose I think Kyrie has a legitimate nervous breakdown in the coming days.

[SATAN]

Holy **** Durant

Empty stats.

[AlternativeAcc.]

60 points and a W incoming

Durant always shows up

[Manny98]

Empty stats.

Like LeBron every night :applause:

[SouBeachTalents]

I've been watching the Final Four, how in the hell do the Hawks have 40+ FT attempts already :oldlol:

[FultzNationRISE]

Despite the underwhelming season you gotta figure nobody’s tryin to see these Hawks in a first round series.

Shit could be dangereux.

[Proctor]

The greatest scorer ever :bowdown:
Nash has got ****ing Cam Thomas out there ruining it :facepalm

[Mask the Embiid]

kd slowly falling back into low iq 'd okc style ball again

Where is Curry? Ducking Huerter?

Please let this be the sudden death play in matchup.

[insight]

I've been watching the Final Four, how in the hell do the Hawks have 40+ FT attempts already :oldlol:

Actually the refs have been keeping the Nets in the game with some suspect calls against the Hawks. The nets were committing silly fouls early in the game which is how Atlanta got to the line.

[bladefd]

Durant looks gassed carrying the team. Feels like last year all over again :confusedshrug:

[theman93]

Brooklyn's gonna get bounced in the 1st round. They can't play defense.

[Manny98]

Missing Bruce and Curry badly tonight

Mills is ****ing pathetic, Cam is a rookie so I'll give him a pass

[Manny98]

Brooklyn's gonna get bounced in the 1st round. They can't play defense.
Our defense is fine we're missing our two best perimeter defenders, Simmons and Brown

[Chuckbe]

Missing Bruce and Curry badly tonight

Mills is ****ing pathetic, Cam is a rookie so I'll give him a pass

Where is Dragic?

[Mask the Embiid]

that win where KD won playing okc style vs the sixers and got all the credit n blow jobs from the media was the worst thing to ever happen to this nets team....he fell back in love with hero ball hahahhaahhaa


The nets are going no where.....just like okc went no where......after harden left


https://c.tenor.com/jG8yqKfxmsUAAAAd/embiid-lol.gif

[Manny98]

Where is Dragic?
Health and Safety protocols

[FultzNationRISE]

Does anyone know when John Collins will be back in the lineup for the Hawks?

[Manny98]

Mills needs to be dropped from the rotation I am ****ing done with him :mad:

[Proctor]

Mills needs to be dropped from the rotation I am ****ing done with him :mad:

:roll:

What the **** has happened to him.

He does bounce back well in the playoffs but wow....

He could also go 0-10 and still hit a GW 3, he's that guy, but he blows right now.

[SATAN]

9-27...

[FultzNationRISE]

How does a guy like Drummond have a 4-11 night?

Unless he's dunking it the ball should not be leaving his hand for a shot.

[1987_Lakers]

Crazy how the NBA works out, when they traded for Harden I for sure thought they were locks for championships for the next couple of years.

Now over a year later Harden is gone, his replacement Simmons is nowhere to be found, & they haven't fixed their defensive issues.

Say what you want about Harden, but Brooklyn was balling last season when he was motivated and healthy. I guess it was predictable that sooner or later him and Kyrie were gonna eventually bud heads.

[bladefd]

Ouch for Nets fans :lol

[SATAN]

Trae :bowdown:

Best PG in the East

[AlternativeAcc.]

Refs and injuries too tough to overcome

Durant with an epic carry job though, good shit

[AlternativeAcc.]

Trae :bowdown:

Best PG in the East

Way better than Curry :banana:

[FultzNationRISE]

Imagine if the Hawks had Collins available to slow down Durant.

[Nilocon165]

Kyrie :roll:

Simmons is one of the best defenders in the league.

It's a perfect fit if he ever decides to play :lol

[SouBeachTalents]

KD with a career high, it's honestly crazy he's never had a 60 point game.

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Prime trae (last years playoffs until now) is already a better player then Durant ever was. Time to face the facts.

[Chuckbe]

Trae :bowdown:

Best PG in the East

Garland is better

[FultzNationRISE]

Durant unleashing beast mode is going to come at a cost. I dont think Irving’s delicate inferiority complex can handle this.

Win or lose I think Kyrie has a legitimate nervous breakdown in the coming days.


It's coming, boys...

[AlternativeAcc.]

Imagine if the Hawks had Collins available to slow down Durant.

Durant is 6-1 vs Collins and averages over 30.

But yeah, he mightve held him to only 50

[SATAN]

"Ree" padding his stats when it's already over

[fourkicks44]

Durant goes for fifty, Collins doesn't play and the Hawks still win?

Still pads Atlanta's winning margin even further :confusedshrug:

Ky-REEEEEEEEE

[tontoz]

Kyme took more shots than Durant. :facepalm

[AlternativeAcc.]

Nets are missing more players, including DPOY worthy Simmons.

And of course Curry whose a huge piece of the offense.

That swings it in the Nets favor easily.

[insight]

Garland is better
You are not qualified to post on inside hoops and that's saying something. Such a low IQ post.

[1987_Lakers]

Crazy how KD drops 55 but Kyrie still finished with more shot attempts.

[FultzNationRISE]

Nets are missing more players, including DPOY worthy Simmons.

And of course Curry whose a huge piece of the offense.

That swings it in the Nets favor easily.


That's fair. I'm not blaming KD for needing a full roster to beat a short handed Hawks team. Just saying John Collins is an important part of Atlanta's rotation that they were missing.

[FultzNationRISE]

Kyme took more shots than Durant. :facepalm


He also took more shots than he made points :lol



And he had 31 points :biggums:

[insight]

Does anyone know when John Collins will be back in the lineup for the Hawks?

They are hoping to get him back before the play in game. He has a plantar tear in his foot and a jacked up finger so it might be longer.

[fourkicks44]

Missing is definitely the word I would use to describe Simmons too
:oldlol:

[tontoz]

2nd game in a row the nets shot 45%+ from 3 and lost.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Missing is definitely the word I would use to describe Simmons too
:oldlol:

Yeah, pretty rough when you trade a perennial MVP candidate and your teams 2nd option for a guy who has yet to play. Its still the regular season so Harden would still be making a big impact for the Nets.

[insight]

Nets are missing more players, including DPOY worthy Simmons.

And of course Curry whose a huge piece of the offense.

So Curry is bigger piece than John Collins? First it was we would win easily with Kyrie, now that he is back it's we would win easily with any player who doesn't play.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Are Simmons/Curry/Dragic more important than Collins? Absolutely. What a stupid question.

[fourkicks44]

Are Simmons/Curry/Dragic more important than Collins? Absolutely. What a stupid question.

Simmons has never played for that team, won't play this year and possibly will never play again.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Simmons has never played for that team, won't play this year and possibly will never play again.

But the Nets traded their 2nd option for him. He was the main piece of the trade. So yeah, him not playing is pretty significant.

[insight]

Are Simmons/Curry/Dragic more important than Collins? Absolutely. What a stupid question.

I don't know what Simmons is? He hasn't played in a year and Trae Young took his soul in the playoffs and ended his 76rs career. Dragic is coming back from injury, he is a solid vet nothing more nothing less. Curry spaces the floor and can have big impact but it opens up problems defensively and Kyrie, Durant and Curry are not great passers.
My point is none of those players guarantee a win against the Hawks.

Simmons is a DPOY level defender and a great playmaker.

Next to Durant and Irving, with Curry further spacing the floor, it's an easy dub for the Nets. Regardless of Jason Collins playing.

Just like the Sixers not having him all season was significant?

Embiid caries his team all season without him and held down the 3rd seed.

Net's without him going to the sudden death play in.

Is a missing Simmons more significant to the Nets than to the Sixers?

[insight]

The Sixer threw every defender at Trae Young and he carved them all up like a Thanksgiving Turkey. Trae Young is different, the Nets may have more talent but the Hawks with Trae can beat any team in this league. They have beat all the best teams in the league this year, they have struggled to win games against the worse teams in the league.

That doesn't have any relevance to the Nets. Nets have faced injuries all year, Irving and Durant have missed significant time.

I've always been a big Trae fan. The guy is a gamer. Doesn't really get enough love.

[Wally450]

55 points and an L?

[fourkicks44]

55 points and an L?

Yeah, Simmons didn't play. Apparently that was the reason :oldlol:

Look at them now.

A laughingstock.

[tontoz]

How did Kyme take 32 shots without getting to the foul line once. :wtf:

[ShawkFactory]

Next to Durant and Irving, with Curry further spacing the floor, it's an easy dub for the Nets. Regardless of Jason Collins playing.

You confidently said Nets by 20. And when they lose you’re talking about injuries.

Weak stuff.
