    Joe Harris the next Klay Thompson with that elite defense

  2. SwishBreak

    Good news: We arent 1-6 and aren’t worse than the Lakers. Joe Harris just had the best defensive game of possibly his career

    Bad news: We still look like shit, have statistically the worst defense in the league, Nash just saved his job for the next 2 months and another player just had a season high against us

    Side note: Ben Simmons is neither a positive or a negative to this team right now. We looked the exact same

  3. laflameitslit

    my wife and children have officially returned to my home

  4. Aleiben

    We won!

    Love to see the team’s focus on defense this game. Hopefully, we can ride this wave and get more Ws

  5. mMounirM

    (Raps fan) Watanabe in closing lineups. He earned it

  6. zachzx

    Sloppy win but we take those. Our inability to close out games is incredibly worrying, always has been and always will be until something changes. Loved the hustle from Clax, Yuta, Joe today.

  7. clutchhattrick

    Win is a win. Claxton is a stud

    Sharpe and Nash are fucking ass cheeks

  8. shoutsoutstomywrist

    Ignore that we almost blew our lead in the 4th

    To the Pacers, a team that I now will see in my nightmares

  9. TheMoorNextDoor

    Nash job is saved for at least 10 more games

  10. MostlyLostTraveler

    Ha, KD always checking the box score

  11. -ChowMein-

    we nearly choked a 24 point lead to a lottery team

  12. Haunting_Rip4512

    KD and kyrie putting up monster games is definitely not sustainable.

  13. mharri05

    Special thanks to James Johnson for continuing to be the worst player in the nba.

  14. Venez21

    whatever. do it again tomorrow and i’ll start to feel like we’re trending up

  15. GuessTraining

    Kyrie needs to stop taking the 3s when he can easily blow past his defenders

  16. brook_lyn_lopez

    glad to get the win.

    would love to see KD and Kyrie run some plays at the end of games. everyone but claxton seems to defer to them and they just end up taking contested jumpers.

  17. TheMoorNextDoor

    Durant is 7 foot tall… how fking tall is Meghan? Cause she close to his height.

  18. Aleiben

    Yuta is -16 on the Box Score but +99 in our hearts.

  19. depressedpr0phet

    This W shouldn’t take away the focus of us being a terrible perimeter defensive team. We need changes fast

  20. Kaironvilla

    Shouldn’t need to play KD and Kyrie nearly 40mins every night. But it is what it is.

  21. Shiggyreally

    Idk there’s something about the adrenaline from almost losing a game that’s more fun than just fucking flat out losing every time

  23. ensergio

    Pacers fan here, Irving and Durant are too talented.

  24. throwaway_5256

    Good thing we didn’t blow that shit lmfao

    Obviously a lot of the same flaws remain but we took their counterpunch and responded well. This team needed to show a lot more heart and did today.

    Maddening to go like 4 straight late possessions with a deep bomb, but when we use the KD/Ky two man game with spacers on the weak side we immediately score. Maybe we should keep fuckin doing that

    Joe playing a good role and getting back into the groove was great and YUTA earning the closing minutes at the 5. He’s looking like a solid pickup

    Also big shout out to our 3rd star. 19/9/4, all over the floor on defense, strong finishing at the rim, catching in space as an outlet to the duo, and being an overall perfect complement to our two main guys. Of course we all know I am speaking about Nic Claxton

  26. Due-Blackberry-5069

    Great Overall game! But I don’t know if that means Ben Simmons is sort of a nuisance on the floor or not. Role Players had a huge role in this W, Nic Claxton looked strong. Nash still his usual self. Let’s see how we do tomorrow against a slightly better Bulls team.

  27. GlueGuy00

    We really need Seth and Warren off the bench

  28. FinancialsThrowaway2

    That production besides the stars and claxton is god awful

  29. Greynevermatter19

    That Claxton dunk saved us from choking lol

  30. Eat-Depay-Love

    If Royce doesn’t hit that 3 with three minutes left or if the pacers played Mathurin more minutes the Nets lose. Nash should still lose his job

  31. Antguap19

    KD and Kyrie once again saves Nash’s job.

  32. PhoenixValiant24

    KD putting MVP numbers but our team needs to get wins lol

  34. mercury_risiing

    HUGE fan of Yuta. From preseason and into regular season, he is just supremely solid. Doesn’t make mistakes, defends, can shoot the three. Even when the nets are whole, he needs to be a regular part of the rotation. Good player

  35. broooooklyn

    If Ben can look like 80% of his old self he will fill the gaps on this team so well. An additional ball handler so Durant doesn’t have to drive so often, sorely needed rebounding and switchable on defense. Sounds so nice in theory but it’s gonna be a longggg grind to get there.

    On the coaching – I am typically in the ride it out and let the team gel camp but Nash is so glaringly not coaching at an NBA level. Bring back D’antoni or make an offer to Snyder. I know Nash is making stupid money but he’s a sunk cost, just cut him loose and move on. Sooner the better.

    Side note, Joey buckets was clearly giving it his all on defense and it made a real difference. Whether or not his 3 is on at least he’s putting in effort. Love that dude.

  36. cxygtob

    Yuta has been great, one thing I’ll give to Nash is atleast he’s recognized that and is playing Yuta a lot
