This team still has a chance if they play team ball. Can't play Porzingis if he's still in the same condition.

Roster-wise, with Tatum, this team was head and shoulders better than everybody in the east. Without Tatum, we're now just like everyone. They can still win if they play good smart basketball - rebound, defend, and move the ball on offense.

I agree with the Mazulla commentary from the past few pages though. It's nuts Stevens gave someone with no HC experience this caliber roster. It's like back in 2023 when he mismanaged TOs and let other teams make runs.

Ime situation happened literally right before training camp started and Mazzulla was the only guy on the coaching staff that was brought in by Stevens and not Ime

Idk how sustainable the way they played last night is but our fanbase needed some joy after how depressing the 48 hours before was

All I ask for Game 6 is that Porzingis doesn’t play and they continue to fight. Win or lose, you make them work for it.


I dont think KP will start game 6 or beyond(if they extend the season). Kornet protected the rim, set up screen and made cuts to the baskets that Porzingis didn't make the first 4.5 games, the Knicks weren't ready for that energy from our Center.

I was bored at work and playing around on the trade machine

Wonder what are the odds of this, assuming the Nets don’t get Giannis

Warriors get Porzingis and a SRP pick or two
Nets get a S&T Kuminga
Celtics get Moses Moody and maybe a pick

Warriors get a starting center and a big expiring for a player that doesn’t seem to be a good fit there

Celtics shave $19 mil off their payroll

Nets use their cap space and take the gamble on Kuminga

Last Night Tatum production was replaced by guys stepping up. Luke stepped up and gave us what Porzingis should've gave us.
Brown 6 Points above his post season average
White 16 Points above his post season average
Pritchard 7 Points above his Post season averages

You can probably do Porzingis(expiring) a FRP and 2 seconds for either Cam Johnson or Nic Claxton.

The Nets can turn around and trade KP to the lakers/Warriors for some garbage contracts and picks.

I figured in that situation it would’ve made more sense for the Warriors to take Claxton or Johnson for themselves than take Porzingis

Ime got severely outcoached by Kerr in 2022 and again in 2025. Y’all offense took another leap with Mazulla. Marcus smart would still be in Boston if Ime was still there

Marcus Smart being in Boston was the reason why Celtics didn't win a title in the first place. Ironically the Warriors 2022 played the Celtics very well because all they did was play off of Smart to guard the Jays

Please stop commenting off of ignorance
