Kyrie is an idiot for abandoning a contending team just because he feels he should be celebrated, not tolerated.

Now, he'd rather go fishin' while the rest moves on from his antics...

Yes , a bit silly , we don’t have clear cut MVP for now , but if they have to chant Bridges is the one I guess


Bridges deserves it.

Hes putting up MVP like numbers so far. Nothing silly about it.

Not wins, which is an MVP stat. There's like 8 guys in the league that deserve that chant.

I think HB meant that every arena does chant their top guy

For Brooklyn for now it’s Bridges

Otherwise league wide , of course he’s not anywhere close to top 10

Yup. Nets with Kyrie/KD could have won it all this year. Easily.

Kyrie blew it up. Now Dallas won't make the playoffs and he won't get the contract he wanted anyway.

Any chance the Wolves can do us a big favor tonight and beat the Suns?

No one would invest a long-term contract to a loser, unpredictable drama queen like Cryie...

Two more wins and we probably getting 6th seed. If not 3rd win will definitely do it. Last game will be vs Philly at 1pm. I doubt they will want that 3rd seed so bad. Saltics been their cryptonight.

Our magic number (Nets wins + Miami losses) for the 6 seed is 5 with 6 games to go.

We got tie breaker over them. So they 2 games behind us as of right now. With Jimmy missing next game too, they not beating Mavs. That's pretty much does it for them.

ATL first tow games vs us and don't have tie breaker over us either. As of right now they 3 games behind.

Craptors need to finish game better too.

So as I said, we win 2 or maybe 3 and it's all but guaranteed we end up as a 6th seed. So what Cavs did to us? Not exited to face Maxey either. He will average 50 vs us.

Let's hope that KD is on a minutes restriction for that to happen. On the other hand, the Wolves has been on a roll, so it's still possible.

He is on minutes restriction, but the time he played he was basically standing in the corner poking in his nose

I mean if Kyrie was serious about basketball we had a shot. Team was playing well.

And nobody in the East is that scary. We probably stay a top 3 seed once KD came back.

Odds are we still don't win. But it was definitely possible. And WAY better than his situation in Dallas.

And he likely gets a 3 or 4 year contract as well.

Best shot is to go grovel to LeBron. Maybe they give him a 1 or 2 year deal.

How , did you see KD recently? 1 for 7 and for most part he is dog poop

We would’ve be paper tigers contenders, nothing else , then Bucks would sweep us in second round

Kyrie best chance for good contract is in China and they might even build him a statue , if he plays

The defense tonight was terrible for most of the game and is probably a preview of what will happen in the playoffs versus Philly if we don't collapse and fall into the play in.

That being said, it will be interesting to see what kind of roster that can be built in the offseason by using some assets and a possible S&T involving Cam Johnson.

I think we need to obtain a 5 that can stretch the floor without being a complete liability and transition Claxton to PF.

I'm glad Dallas is burning to the ground. They were stupid enough to trade an unprotected 1st for him. :lol:

Our defense was trash for a team who’s strength is it’s defense. And our offense is too stagnant at times. I wish they would become more aggressive when the 3’s aren’t dropping. I know Cam Thomas is a jag but at least give him a few minutes when we can’t buy a bucket.

Defense was bad at times. But Kevin Porter did make a ton of consistently tough shots.

I was more concerned about the offense in the 3rd and early 4th.

But it always comes down to our 3 point shooting. In every game.
