GAME #41: NETS (17-24) @ LAC (26-14) SUN 1/21—12:30 PM

[esqtvd]

Oh goody. After 4 days off, a Sunday matinee!

No worries. Clips are exactly at the midpoint of upcoming strength of schedule. For once, we have nothing to complain about.




Let's Get It ON!!

Hopefully the Nets embarrassing that other team playing at Crypto (not the hockey one) is going to offer enough motivation for us to treat them very seriously, despite it being a dreaded early Sunday game. Maybe Ty could also play back the tape of our previous loss to them, which was probably the third worst of the season, after those against the Nuggets and Grizzlies.

I know we've been a lot better lately at beating middling opponents, but I still get very anxious about these games, even more so than when facing top contenders.

Just put them away early and stay fresh for Tuesday, when a certain team might yet again find themselves in desperate need of a win.

Vegas believes - 10.5 favs today. I believe too.

Sure wish Zu could heal faster than the one month prediction though. Does anybody have any updates? The team has gelled so beautifully it's such a shame to see him not in the mix.

Only blemish on this day might be fLakers getting a win against even more pathetic Portlandia

[KL2]

Get Leonard the ball please.

No idea what PG and Harden are doing.

lol 16-0.

Mann 3 finally.

[wakelaunch1]

what a pathetic start.

[wakelaunch1]

PG looks old as dirt. missed dunk, missed alley oop layup.

[KL2]

Rough start for PG. missed dunk and layup. Sheesh.

Mann on one tonight.

[esqtvd]

T-Mann averaging 6 points a game and already has 9. Best game of the year already and it's still the 1stQ!

Need Leonard and/or PG to see a few drop. Sheesh.

Russ brought that energy, and Mann picked it up as well.

[KL2]

Very lucky to be down only 3 with PG 0-6 and Leonard 0-3.

Mann and Russ gave us life.

boy do i love sunday matinee games

[KL2]

Missed shots happen but getting out worked is inexcusable.

Anybody know our record on these Sunday matinee games in the last few years is?

More importantly, are we gonna have to continue to play these at Intuit Dome?

NO MORE MATINEES!

That's part of the reason Ballmer dropped $2 billion on it.

ADD: Oh yeah--And no more 2-week Grammy road trip either!!!

4 days off and a Matinee ,

No surprise for the slow start. They know what they need to do if they want to win.

Defense leads to easy buckets. Then they start making shots and win.

I’m switching between this game and watching Man On Fire featuring Denzel Washington.

[ERClips]

As hard as Plumlee is playing we really miss Zu this game. No pick & rolls. Everyone is off.
We could still pull out a win if we can step up the defense somehow & score a few more times

[KL2]

I wonder what they discussed at the half.

Fans should get their money back. This team didn’t show up.

[donemilio21]

Russ is the only one with a meaningful defensive effort so far.
