This is really bad
good fight at the end but why couldn’t we play like that the whole game?
when did claxton shoot a 3?! sorry guys i didnt catch the game today
Tough loss. The refs wanted to fuck us in the first half. Shouldn’t expect much tomorrow tbh probably another loss
I’m officially in panic mode
$35,000,000.00 a year
Fuck this team and Fuck Kyrie. Took till the 4th to turn up like this? WHERE THE FUCK WAS THIS IN THE FIRST 3 Q’S????
Hold your loved ones tight, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride….
Nets fouled too much, and the rebound differential had me tearing my hair out.
Onto Utah.
What’s stopping teams in the playoffs from fouling Claxton and Simmons every possession in the 4th quarter?
Great effort by Kyrie/clax to finish the game. Good adjustment to the zone. But cmon guys rebounding rebounding rebounding. Too much lazy play in the first 3 quarters.
Ayton woulda been nice on this team
WHY DO I WATCH NETS BASKETBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Kyrie gets hot earlier we actually win smh
I love that Claxton 3 at the end. High quality shot.
Those turnovers just killed us like wtf was they doing? We had time on the clock
We’re good as long as the team shows the same effort the whole game and kyrie found his shot i guess. better days are ahead
I was following the play by play. Did Vaughn really have Claxton in the game late down by 3 like they weren’t just gonna foul him?
We wouldn’t have made that run with Nash, hope the guys use this game especially the 4th as a turning point. Similar to how the Kings game was for us earlier in the season.
When Claxton shot that corner 3 with 12 seconds left on the shot clock and the game is still within reach:
Ready for the inside nba crew to shit on us
Played a little too fast towards the end only down 5 with like 2 min to go. Tough loss, but appreciate the energy and hustle this game, although a little late. Those one-man fast breaks by Kyrie were crazy
Bad game overall, good fight at the end. 3 straight turnovers killed us though
Normal spacing got us back in the game.
Not gonna say I saw that coming, but …

Better loss than the others. But also a worse game than the others. Does that make sense?
I hope this spells an uptick in Kyrie’s performance tho. I don’t need him to be Atlas like he was in the 4th, but we need a good bit more of this from him.
And lol ok back to back to back turnovers 🤣
Also Royce been kinda trash except for a few clutch moments. JV fucked us keeping him in and Tj out.
Kyrie needs to step up from the beginning of games and the role players will follow.
Joe Harris being 4/4 from three is a crime he needs to get more than 4 attempts if he is hitting them for once
This team is hard to watch without KD
I hate that Kyrie is getting so much praise. Sure he had a good fourth quarter after an abysmal first three quarters in which he was chucking and hogging the ball. Inexcusable
No wonder the game turned as soon as JV switch to zone and stop letting ayton get switched to a guard . Also you have to kyrie dominate the ball with kd out unless TJ or Seth is in , I don’t see no other reason to not let the offense run through your star. Kyrie gotta drive more also that shot wasn’t falling all night
How does Watanabe play 16 minutes and have 1 point and 1 shot attempt… Watanabe hasn’t played a good game in forever, I don’t even remember the last good game he’s played.
I really convinced myself that the Nets wouldn’t go on a massive losing streak this time
Free fallin.
Fun game at the end. Really impressed with how claxton had the clamps on ayton. Kyrie went takeover mode in the 4th. Seth hits clutch shots as always. Got to see simmons be aggressive at the start. Refs had it out for the Nets all game long. Team could never get a rhythm started. If kyrie hits his shots and no ref ball, game probably goes the other way. Its progress.
WTF was up with those calls on Ben? And the ejection? Jeez.
Some of the fouls called on Ben were some of the softest shit I seen. Getting 4 fouls and then ejected in one quarter is insane. At least the game was close at the end with Kyrie especially coming in clutch.
Growing pains of being without KD. I’d be annoyed if the team let it get to them as everyone including our own fanbase at times loves to see us lose.
I really liked the zone in the 2nd half, made our guys buy in to the defense once they started getting stops and Kyrie could go running. Also stopped the easy Ayton mismatches that killed us in the first half. Might protect Simmons from foul trouble as well.
If they can find ways to be good without KD during this stretch, that’s all I’ll ask for. Only glaring weakness I saw was rebounding, so I echo most people’s thoughts on a trade for a big when the time comes.
