On this flat earth.."Mentally been many places, but im Brooklyns own" 19-20 Brooklyn Nets thread

The 2nd unit isn't playing well for sure, but when you look at guys like Nwaba, Pinson, and Musa they were low cost guys who we didn't expect to be playing big minutes at all, let alone within the first month. And Musa will get better as he gets more burn, he's just gotta find his shot.

DJ is what we knew he would be, a good rebounder but he refuses to move out of the paint on defense. Outside of that I think he's been ok, Kenny just has to know when a matchup isn't working with him to pull the plug.

Allen has improved as the season has gone on, he's going to be fine. Kurucs is another story, he's lost all confidence in his game. They basically have to start over with him.

If we miss the playoffs, so be it. More important to come out healthy and knowing who are guys are for KD's first season. And with the new lottery system maybe we get lucky and move into the top 4 and get a nice bonus piece out of it.

gonna have to say it that Marks 2nd tier signings have been utter trash.

We are getting little to no value from
Jordan
Nwaba
Pinson
Musa
Chandler(suspended)

Prince has also been a massive disappointment. He can't guard anyone. The injuries to our guards are one thing. But we get dominated inside by any competent big man.

Musa is still young and has been ok he just needs to play through it.
Nwaba is going to be replaced by shumpert and jordan has gotten better.

The lack of improvement from guys like Allen and Kurucs has also been disappointing. If Kyrie/Levert miss a lot of games this year we're probably not making the playoffs.

Shoutout to Joe though who's always putting in work.

Prince has been disappointing as time goes on. If his shot isnt falling hes useless. I think thats also with him playing at the 4 (story of the Nets few years)

Kurucs, Chandler and Prince were supposed to be the rotation at the 4. One guy looks lost, the other is lost on defense most of the time and the other hasn't even played.

I still think we get itt together when everyone is healthy.

The offense has gone to absolute shyt without Kyrie and Levert which isnt surprising and the defense is still lacking. Still giving up way too many open shots and guys put in a position to do more than their role ( another recurring theme in Nets life)

Im still reserving complete judgement until we get a complete look at the roster healthy for a good stretch of games.

Giving Prince his extension before seeing him on the court for an official game is the only thing I'd put on Marks right now. Obviously plenty of time to figure it out but he's getting paid a lot of money and he looks like a 9th man right now.

My only reasoning is to see him at the 3 next year next to KD. Cause right now when KD comes back he should not even start over Joe who we have to pay after this season

Jarrett Allen played one of his best games tonight

 

[AJtheOne]

Gritty victory. We needed this. Injuries happen but the show must go on. Keep it pushing.

Fro balled out. Dominated inside. Wish he played like this every night. It's great to have a guy like Dinwiddie. Kyrie goes down, we plug Dinwiddie in and he gives us quality pg play good to see him back on his game.

Prince did his thing too. Him and Fro are mad inconsistent. They'll do something good but then do shyt that piss me off

Great game by Allen
We gotta chance these upcoming games to get back to a winning record. And we're missing our 3 best players. Take the 3 best players off any team and lets see how they do

Gives it the Biggie tie-in even further, just flipping the color from Black to White woulda been too simple IMO

These are so much better than the Grey ones, which we are wearing 22 fukking times

Oh yeah them grey ones are horrible.

I think just seeing bedstuy on the front caught me off guard.. I really was expecting the white again cause the black ones were such a hit.. Now ive had more time to look at it i like it.

Sometimes simple is better. Plus its gentrified graffiti like the Mavs joints
