Nets (1-2) @ Heat (1-3) 11/1 @ 7:30pm - will Jimmy show up? BBWs save us!

[MettaWorldPanda]

This is a worse start than out 41-41 season.

I’ll get you to come around on the sell Jimmy high bandwagon soon enough lol

[MettaWorldPanda]

I’d like to see the rotation as:

Lowry / Richardson
Herro / Robinson
Butler / Jaquez
Highsmith / Martin
Adebayo / Jovic

Could be an interesting look.

We badly need more shot creation and PG play. It’s a noticeable drop when Lowry sits right now. Need to scour for a proper backup that isn’t Dru Smith, or preferably a legit starting quality 1.

A lineup that has Highsmith as a starting 4 and Lowry continuing as the starting PG makes we want to start checking out tankathon

That should stabilize our starting unit, but the 2nd team is trash.

Bucks lost again tonight. Dame had 15 points. Beal ain't even playing since March. Imagine if we got BOTH of them this summer. You think the Heat are any better so far? I bet Heat are still 1-4 LOL

Dame was gonna create a whole new batch of problems in both the short-term and the long-term. He’s a star, but he’s not prime LeBron or 2016 KD that’d patch up everything.

Totally. It really looks like we dodged a bullet with Dame, so far Herro looks the better player, is only going to get better and is less of a liability on defence.

Heat should be fine, it was one of those nights, where Nets role players got hot from 3 and Heat role players were throwing bricks, was too much to overcome.

[MettaWorldPanda]

Signing J Rich to be this teams backup PG was a clown move. Just terrible decision making from the front office. Thank goodness he’s on a minimum

[Flash4thewin]

We had a 10 point lead at halftime.
We had Butler playing well
We had Bam playing well
We had Herro playing well

We lost the game lol

Whatever helps you cope with this brother!

Sure brother, a guy in a suit on the bench would have the Heat winning. A guy that is currently producing less than Herro in the first week of play would make the Heat more successful. That's real cope.

I'm not talking about what they may do all season. I'm talking about right now. If you are going to lament the Heat being 1-4 because they don't have either of these guys, then you need to compare what they have done in week 1 and how that could have helped the Heat.

But I get it. In fantasy land everything works out. Beal would be healthy and Dame would be producing like you expect him to and not how he's actually doing in real life.

Tyler Herro btw has been dope this year. Love the way he’s playing. Crazy to think he’s still only 23.

You’d want to stagger them, not play the full 5 man bench mob at once.

[Shootit]

Can't say I'm surprised at the start.

Too early to "worry"

I don’t know if it’s the injury that disrupted his preseason or what, but he looks washed af out there.

Honestly poetic justice would be Herro demanding a trade to one team just for fun lol.

[Bourne85]

We had Butler playing well
We had Bam playing well
We had Herro playing well

We lost the game lol

We suck.

Some of us just haven’t accepted that yet. Give it 20 or so more games and maybe everyone will start to realize our reality

[MettaWorldPanda]

Our PG needs to come from the lottery. This is a great year for a soft tank and a sell high on Jimmy trade. Love Jimmy one of my favorite heaters of all time but we ain’t getting any better paying him 50 mil next year or at age 36. You guys are not gonna like what father time has in store if we stand pat and remain asset less.

You know I’d much rather see Jovic at the 4 than Haywood, but Spo flat out isn’t gonna do it. Atleast this way he’d see some burn and start to develop his confidence in the nba floor. He’s looked pretty good in the very limited run he’s seen so far.

[Bourne85]

My god. Maybe this will convince the front office to finally shake up the roster

I’m sure we have some tax saving moves up our sleeves. Stay tuned!

There’s a reason why we got him so cheap but also we have him playing out of position and doing things he should not be doing. He should be a spot up shooter and defender at this point of his career.

Jimmy played well in the first, he chilled the rest of the way.

Realistically this would be the ideal year for a soft rebuild. Next year we don’t own our pick so no point in rebuilding then.
