    Ben carried this game on both sides of the floor.

  2. jmchamakito

    Like I said the other night, these were the type of games that we were always losing after having a lead at half. We ain’t no second half bitches anymore.

    Refs really wanted the Bucks to win but we didn’t even let them get close enough. Great win. Easy schedule deez nutzzzz, we just beat the #1 team in the league.

  3. Healthy_Boss_9757

    FUCK THE BUCKS

    FUCK YAWN-NIS

    KD FOR MVP

    NETS WORLDDDDDD

  4. Shiggyreally

    Giannis really shouldn’t have pissed off Claxton

  5. 8 In A Row!

    We’re still going streaking boys!!

  6. fofofifi

    Our streak has been validated.

    BROOKLYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. tapewormlover27

    ben 10 transformed into alien x tonight against giannis

  8. MichelleCS1025

    Can’t claim we only beating junk teams anymore!

  9. SwishBreak

    KD is the league MVP but tonight Ben/Royce/Clax were the MVPs! what a great team win. Nets are LEGIT

  10. Monday will be the battle for the 3rd seed. Good win, role players all stepped up. As Clax said – We’re coming for everybody!

  11. HEELHousell

    The way this team has flipped has been incredible.

  12. A_Polite_Noise

    Big win. KD, Irving, Warren, Claxton, Yuta, Simmons…all around. In control most of the game against the best record, a legit *mostly whole* team (us sitting Harris, for what that’s worth). Like a mashed potato sculpture of Devil’s Tower…*this means something.*

    8 in a row!

    ##*Let’s Go Nets!*

    ##**^BROOKLYN!!!!!!!!!!**

  13. Prinnius_Maximus

    Can’t ask for a bigger win than that.

  14. New_Weather_7611

    Shocking the Nets were able to win this game when they played 5 against 8. Every fucking foul. I don’t agree with James Harden a lot but Giannis has zero offensive game without him hooking everything that’s in front of him. Disgrace.

    Great win. Great statement win.

  15. AwesomoApple

    This right here was Ben’s best game of the season, amazing D and facilitating

  16. nordnorf

    WE COMING FOR EVERYBODY

    -SAINT NICOLAS CLAXTON

  17. throwaway_5256

    So let’s see if this “they ain’t played nobody” shit will get applied to other teams or if it was just to invalidate us winning lol

    Before the game I compared how the Cavs won to what our gameplay should be: limit 2nd chance pts, beat them in transition, take away everyone else even if Giannis eats

    At garbage time we end up ahead on the glass, +14 in fast break pts, only -4 in 2nd chance pts, and only 2 other Bucks in double figures

    Defense was great, gang rebounding worked, ball moved, and most importantly the squad kept composure when the refball started coming. JV with the right game plan and kept everyone steady

    Ben 10 with no crazy statline but phenomenal defense on Giannis, hit a bunch of hookshots. Just missed a couple bunnies and he could’ve easily been around 20 but great game. Supporting cast was so good and KD/Ky actually got to have below average scoring nights for them because the defense and ball movement kept it steady

    Also Nic Claxton

  18. Throughout the strong play lately, had this game in mind the whole time as a real measuring stick. Well

    NETS BASKETBALL IS BACK BABY!!!!

    For those of us who have watched Clax for years now, I think we are finally seeing the leap we’ve been dying for. He was FINALLY a presence and on his best game vs a top, big team like Milwaukee. Best part of the win IMO

  19. mylowerbackhurts

    Hey Giannis, oreos are an overrated cookie.

  20. collegekiddo1

    Merry Christmas Everyone! Nets dominate the East!

  21. netsfan2002

    Hopefully the sub will stop talking about trading Simmons for a while

  22. tapewormlover27

    worst part of the game was when giannis was groping kd like it was a japanese train station 💀💀💀

  23. Winter-Relief-9496

    Awesome win – stay hot. This season

    ![gif](giphy|wtil0pQFBbNwA)

  24. fernanaj

    Great Clax post game line “We comin’ for everybody”

  25. ughwhateverman

    In years past this would’ve been a heartbreaking loss. I’m happy they beat a good team

    I want this to be 9 in a row. I want them to beat the Cavs. Great game. On to the next

    (Btw Claxton and Simmons showed out)

  26. AwesomoApple

    Have my child JV!
    Amazing amazing game by both Simmons and Claxton.

  27. FUZE_EM_ALL

    Clax, Royce, and Benjamin were MASSIVE tonight. Team rolling. Playing consistently. Holidays are gonna be much more enjoyable now.

  28. HARD fought and well coached win. Managed to somehow limit Giannis and played very good D. Ben and Clax cranked up their D – best I’ve seen in a while. KD is unstoppable and Kyrie with dagger 3. On. To. The. CAVS

  29. Burr_burrr

    8W happy holidays nets world love you all. Now time to worship yuta the shoota

  30. SIMMONS IS HIM

    SIMMONS OWNS GIANNIS

    FUCK GIANNIS

    SIMMONSSSS

    clax > jawnis

  31. DembouzzuobmeD

    If this is the Ben that we’re going to see against the likes of Milwaukee, then I’m okay with him dropping duds against the rest of the other teams in the league. The guy was absolutely on his A-game tonight.

    NB: That play where Claxton’s out and Simmons is at the top of the key that resulted in that KD backdoor cut to the basket against Holiday is automatic. You try to cheat it like Holiday did and beat KD to the 3pt. line, and he’ll just fake you completely out. Hopefully we run that more.
