[PtldPlatypus]

Cam Thomas returning. Bench guards are gonna have to strap in defensively

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Looking at their lineup, seems like we should roll over them, but they are 6-4 in there last ten and only lost by 8 to OKC.

 

[THE HCP]

Looking at their lineup, seems like we should roll over them.

Thinking this is your first mistake son.

 

[blazerkor]

Interesting that ESPN Matchup Predictor only has us at 35.7% chance of winning and the Nets having the inverse of 64.3%. Vegas has us as a very small favorite.

If we do drop this game we have a game that we should be competitive in the one after our next game against the Sixers but if we lose this one, then lose at Cleveland and Philly it will probably be an 8 game losing streak before we play the Raptors in mid March.

Excellent. 8 game losing streak to balance out the horrible winning streak.

Hey, grandpa, I thought i laid out a balanced statement, which you decided to quote only half of. Sometimes I think you just go looking for trouble....

 

[Phatguysrule]

Sometimes?

You new around here?

 

[blazerfan11]

Jerami Grant not starting (or playing). Kris Murray is.


INJURY UPDATE: Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant are OUT for tonight’s game @ BKN.

 

[wizenheimer]

Jerami Grant not starting (or playing). Kris Murray is.


INJURY UPDATE: Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant are OUT for tonight’s game @ BKN.

Grant looked a little gimpy in the 2nd half of the Wizards game

 

[B-Roy]

When will Sharpe ever start again with Billups as coach? Grant is out, and he starts KRIS MURRAY.

He is literally starting tonight.

 

[blazerfan11]

He is literally starting tonight.

I hope it's permanent.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Jerami Grant not starting (or playing). Kris Murray is.


INJURY UPDATE: Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant are OUT for tonight’s game @ BKN.

I'm absolutely shocked that Sharpe is starting over Scoot in place of Deni.

 

[blazerfan11]

What a hideous turnover by Simons dribbling the air out of the ball.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sharpe looking good!

 

[blazerfan11]

Sharpe looking good!

Just did a smoove Gervin move.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Sharpe looking good!

Super aggressive--love it.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

You guys are fortunate you are missing the Brooklyn feed; they are showing an all male dance group whose main move seems to be holding their hands over their crotches.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Sharpe looking good!

Nah, he's no good! We should trade him for a 2nd rounder while we still can!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Super aggressive--love it.

Also seems more relaxed at the same time,

 

[B-Roy]

Team is way more fun to watch without their vets.

 

[Mediocre Man]

You guys are fortunate you are missing the Brooklyn feed; they are showing an all male dance group whose main move seems to be holding their hands over their crotches.

Is there another?

 

[Cugel]

Best shooting quarter this season? Fair amount of turnovers to offset that

 

[Cugel]

Shaedon “ya ain’t tradin” Sharpe

 

[blazerfan11]

Scoot doing a great job setting up his teammates.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is there another?

Another feed? Or another dance group?

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I would rather have Walker out there then Ayton even if Ayton is better then Walker cause I know Walker will give 100% out there and Ayton we are lucky to get 75% to 80% effort but just my two cents.


and then 2 minutes later he might be hurt --- dang -- hope he can just walk it off

 

[blazerfan11]

What a pass from Murray to Clingan!

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Sharpe is the TRUTH !!!!!
