Don't put that evil on me. This is why all the players you like are cursed :lol:

The Deuce hive is strong and getting stronger every day!

hey man you said it and it was your own words! really nasty individual trying to get rid of deuce as soon as he's breaking out.

also the deez knicks curse is nasty. 99% of your fav players are cursed! no wonder mikal looks bad now. what happened to malakhi branham!!!??! :lol:


Who? I don't even remember who that is. All I know is that I've been stanning Deuce since day 1 and it was a nice win. We are living our best life right now!

Depends on the team, like you could definitely get away with playing them against the Bucks because Doc doesn't really target mismatches and when Lillard is on the bench they don't have anyone that can take people off the dribble.

If thats all they ask for I would do it. We still keep Ragu and Hart? Yeah gotta pull the trigger.


2 good young players for 1 though… couple weeks ago it was a no brainer… but now…


You have to give to get. Bridges is a near allstar when he's playing right and the fit is just too damn seemless.

Brunson
Bridges
OG
Randle
Ihart


and you still have
Hart
Donte
OG
Bogs contract that can be flipped for a Mitch replacement

IMo you gotta do it .....and I love Deuce and Mitch

I'm proud to say I was wrong about deuce. He's a legit 3 and D with elite athleticism. Hope he keeps this up. He was a borderline star in WV and is finally getting the minutes.

Let's face it, Bogs is not anything close to a Thibs player. He does not rebound the ball at all or add any physicality. He has zero defensive presence. This was always going to happen.

Not including Mcbride in a Mikal trade is not including Quentin in Mitchell trade levels of dumb.

It's beautiful to watch cuz if his offense stays at this level, he is a big-time 2-way player that doesn't make mistakes. That is extremely valuable. It's Jrue Holiday-esqe (of course I dont mean at that level). He is in that mold.

As a starter this season, Deuce averages 17.3pts, 4.7ast, 3.3rebs on 45/38/85 shooting. Impressive and I'm not sure if those stats include todays game yet.


A few weeks ago, he was in a cold streak hitting 3’s at like 30% again and I was like that January hot streak was all a mirage and won’t come back. The jumper is 100% back and it probably means it’s real and deuce is a legit shooter. As long as he keeps shooting and defending he can be on my team any day. It’s just really exciting seeing him attack the rim today. There were so many times earlier in the season that he’d get a step on a defender and instead of going all the way to the rim he’d just do a cross over for a pull up midranger. That’s such a huge develop for a young player. We just went through watching grimes be scared to try to finish over a big and Deuce getting through the other side of that is such a big deal. The dudes got me super hyped right now.

Fun game to attend. Horrible weather outside, but a solid beating of New Jersey inside.

Nets kept it close, to keep things entertaining, for most of it. Even hit a full court shot to end the half. Knicks blew em away in the end though. Cant ask for more than that.

Donte, Deuce, and Isaiah balled, with Jalen being off but a commendable floor general. Josh did his hustle. Not much from the bench.

Crowd was full and vibe was cool. Patrick got a nice ovation. Spike in form. Little boy nailed the anthem. Dancers looked good. Satisfying win for us, and therefore the world.

Damn, Nets fans obliterated from the internet. How’s their future draft picks looking? They even out with the Durant trade?

Lets not hyperbolize... idk if I just made that up but anyway

Mikal is playing with the super scrubs of scrubs, he's a very good player and would put us over the top

But losing Deuce when he has so much upside isn't smart, no pun intended

The coach’s rotations never really make any sense.

Thibs was believing in Precious for 45 mpg. All of a sudden he gets 7.

McBride was on the bench for 2.5 years and suddenly gets 48 minutes.

I’ve been a Deuce guy from before day 1 (I wanted to draft him and have been calling him another Caruso/Marcus Smart) but this isn’t about him. It’s just that the coach doesn’t seem to have a feel for the game with these rotations.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.
