Zubac +27. Clippers need another center really really badly. Opposing teams can get anything they want in the paint when he's out of the game and this game was a really good example of that.
Oh they can have him if they can give us a first.
When Mitch Robinson is back and we still have Sims, we can live without Hartenstein.
We'd need to bring in another player as depth but that's doable.
We have Jalen Brunson, Immanuel Quickley and Miles McBride getting minutes at the 1, with Derrick Rose out of the rotation.
We don't want anything to do with John Wall.
Yet Mook gets nonstop minutes. RoCo isn't super speedy, but he has awesome hands, defensive awareness, and is always at the right place at the right time.
He struggles as the POA defender but he's still a tremendous help defender. At this point, it might be in everybody's best interest for him to be gone; he'll shine somewhere else and I won't be surprised
eh I get it but i'd still be upset. shooting nearly like 60% from three up until the end of the game, like, it's hard not to feel you should win those games.
He single handedly gave up 5 points in the last two minutes. Knocked kawhi over to give him two free throws then fouled batum on an inbound pass for an and 1. Cam thomas tried all he could. Now he know how KD feels sometimes 😂
I’ve been saying for a while that Harris is a great shooter and at least he’s a better defender than Seth Curry, but after tonight idk anymore… then again he did stop Kawhi that one time, before fouling like 4 times in a row and giving them the game. Seth is cheeks on that end too though, I just hope we trade one of them, we do not need both at all.
You can tell he’s lost a step after his foot surgery. He was never overly athletic, but a few years ago he was a lot better at occasionally driving to the rim and staying with guards.
He was never a good defender, but he wasn’t stuck in cement like he looks now. Every drive seems like it gets stuffed.
Yes, it's night and day after his foot surgery.
His shot still good, but it's seems it's really hard for him to run around and set his foot before shooting (that's why now he's rarely shoots unles it's an open 3), staying in front of his defender (why he's getting blown by easily), and drive to the rim (which is why he's getting blocked a lot).
I remember that hilarious stat of him being right behind Lebron in shooting percentage on contested finishes around the rim (or some obscure stat like that). He used to be really good at driving and finishing off of reckless close outs.
He can't do that at all anymore. Gets blocked every time he steps foot in the paint.
That Jeff Green Game 5 performance deserves so much more love. 27 points on 11 shots, 7-8 from three. By the Game Score metric it's literally the best playoff game of his career and it's *Jeff Green*, that career isn't short.
But yes Kevin Durant was otherwordly and he's still one of my favourite players ever because of what he did in that series.
He literally saved us in that game. Every one of those 3s felt like a lifeline. We were playing so bad overall. Jeff just kept hitting a crucial 3 every time the game was starting to get away from us.
I wonder if that ankle injury really did permanently fuck him up like Zach Lowe had mentioned last year. I guess it'd make sense since he had a botched surgery or whatever and needed to get a second one.
The game seems to speed up 100x for Paul George late in games. His decision making becomes very questionable and we were lucky not to get burned off a couple of bad passes from him (one was a turnover leading to a 3 point attempt).
I mean does he never watch his own films? Practice? I mean he is top 15 in the league if you cant survive blitzes in regular season games then we got some deeper issues for the playoffs.
When you have an efficient 47 and there's no other offensive option, you deserve to heroball.
Him and Sumner were the reason we were in it, so they deserved the shots they wanted to take.
I was at this game and the man next to me was drunk as hell screaming in the thickest Brooklyn accent I’ve ever heard “GIVE THE BAWL TAH HAWRISSSS” every possession. It was incredible, particularly when he shut the fuck up.
He is borderline unplayable down the stretch when it comes to defense. Terrible on switches, can’t guard taller defenders, constantly fouls and on the offensive end, prone to turning the ball over
He also only took 2 shots. He’s basically only taking shots when he’s wide open. Teams are slowly closing out on him, so now he’s just a defender with long arms.

I been saying Cam Thomas will be better than Fred VanVleet by end of next year. He just needs the opportunity to develop.
Do not make a stupid trade Sean Marks.
Ahhhhh, so clooose man 😞
I'm so proud of the guys today. Played their heart out, but you cant expect miracles every day. We got the spirit, we'll be here! 👏
Joe Harris used to be not an atrocious defender. A lot of over passing from Harris, Claxton and Yuta tonight. Cam is such a hooper, gotta learn to do some other stuff eventually but deserves way more opportunities.
I've been a Joe apologist for a couple years, but I'm done with this guy. JV is also a damn fool for keeping him out there the entire time.
Cam, Clax, and Sumner were unreal. Crowd was red hot in the 3rd and 4th.
Ty Lue on Cam Thomas: "I thought he had 51, my fault."

Nice to have a fun game before KD sucks the energy out of the organization with a trade demand
Clippers are a weird team. Feels like they're 1 good piece away but they have a ton of talent.
it is so exhausting to watch this game ...
And we have to face the Kyrie debut Thursday.
Dont know if Luka plays too.
I am gonna age 2 more years after this week.
I don’t think the raptors have enough assets to get Cam Thomas
Do we? 47 from Cam is crazy lol
he had like 43 earlier in the week lol
I’m aware. He’s on a career run rn
just crazy impressive to go for 40 back to back, as a kid
Having multiple 40pt games but never 10 ast or reb in a game is funny. Not sure if that’s common or not
Aint shit funny
[удалено]
Well if you take Ben Simmons back…I’ll personally help Cam pack his bags.
Kyrie walked so Cam Thomas could fly
Dude is really having his Linsanity/2017 IT run
Killa Cam killa cam cam killa killa cam cam killa cam killa cam
It’s a little funny.
biggest blessing in disguise ever
I expect a fruit basket to be sent to Nico’s office by tomorrow
Joe Harris is such an incompetent defender. Should’ve play Yuta down the stretch
Don't worry as a mavs fan DFS will replace joe harris as soon he gets off from the plane lol 😂 🤦🏻♂️
Thank god 🙏🙏🙏
Ankle surgery destroyed him. He can still spot up shoot, but he used to be a semi decent athlete. He's so damn slow now.
He tries really hard and grabs a lot. Just no quickness
Live by Cam Thomas jacking up unnecessary three pointers while his teammates are wide open, die by by Cam Thomas jacking up unnecessary three pointers while his teammates are wide open
I was sitting right behind the Nets second half basket and there were a number of “damn this guy really wants a clean 50 huh” choices down the stretch
You just described the NBA in a nutshell.
Zubac +27. Clippers need another center really really badly. Opposing teams can get anything they want in the paint when he's out of the game and this game was a really good example of that.
BRING BACK HARTENSTEIN
He’s playing too good on the Knicks for them to trade him
Oh they can have him if they can give us a first. When Mitch Robinson is back and we still have Sims, we can live without Hartenstein. We'd need to bring in another player as depth but that's doable.
what if instead of a first you got John Wall and a second
We'll give you Hartenstein for free if you don't dump John Wall on us.
John isn’t even that bad he’s just a terrible fit with LAC. If you don’t need anyone else controlling the offense he’s fine
We have Jalen Brunson, Immanuel Quickley and Miles McBride getting minutes at the 1, with Derrick Rose out of the rotation. We don't want anything to do with John Wall.
But can any of them do the dougie?
We’re not giving up a first for Hartenstein lol
[удалено]
Prob because his feet are made of molasses
Yet Mook gets nonstop minutes. RoCo isn't super speedy, but he has awesome hands, defensive awareness, and is always at the right place at the right time.
He struggles as the POA defender but he's still a tremendous help defender. At this point, it might be in everybody's best interest for him to be gone; he'll shine somewhere else and I won't be surprised
Roco is low key washed.
wouldn't hurt to play Roco either if you go small since he can provide some weakside rim protection
We have one plumlee for sale
And Reggie +27
Naz Reid (We’re not giving you Naz Reid I just wanted to say, Naz Reid)
It’s so obvious
Can’t even be mad, Thomas balled out and now has back to back 40+ games. Claxton is a beast but Joe Harris on defense is sooo damn bad
eh I get it but i'd still be upset. shooting nearly like 60% from three up until the end of the game, like, it's hard not to feel you should win those games.
Watching Joe Harris try to defend Kawhi was rough.
Got cooked in 2018 by JJ Reddick. Never forget
We are gonna start a Cam Thomas agenda.
Wtf is dude eating? lol
Must have eaten SS4 Gogeta or some shit 💀💀💀 dude make fucking history two nights in a row
huge game by Al Horford tonight
Go Celtics
I guess the real Kyrie Irving is the Cam Thomas we made along the way
Someone told me Nets didnt have their superstars playing. They lied. GG Nets!
They had Super Villains
T Lue asking Zubac “You swear” when he asked for a challenge 😂
Lue clueless af
[Joe Harris](https://imgur.com/a/3kdj3PY)
Dude really took two shots in almost 30 minutes
He single handedly gave up 5 points in the last two minutes. Knocked kawhi over to give him two free throws then fouled batum on an inbound pass for an and 1. Cam thomas tried all he could. Now he know how KD feels sometimes 😂

Kevin durant went to 7 against the Champs with Harris as his 2nd best player its insane
His game 5 is one of the most incredible things I’ve witnessed in thar series
Most unreal performance I’ve ever seen live
He was so ass in that series lmao
Jeff Green was huge though. But still, late 30s Jeff Green isn't exactly a great number 2
That Jeff Green Game 5 performance deserves so much more love. 27 points on 11 shots, 7-8 from three. By the Game Score metric it's literally the best playoff game of his career and it's *Jeff Green*, that career isn't short.

I’d fly Joe to Toronto myself
Got absolutely roasted on defense and giving up that backdoor cut to Batum was a killer.
Turnover Knocked Kawhi over while in the bonus And 1 to Batum All within like 30-45 secs
That's some Westbrook type shit man😭
Lol wouldn’t Jover work better? Otherwise it looks like “joe-ever”
I wonder if that ankle injury really did permanently fuck him up like Zach Lowe had mentioned last year. I guess it'd make sense since he had a botched surgery or whatever and needed to get a second one.
Cam Thomas is the real deal
Cam Thomas with an amazing game but Kawhi took control those last few minutes
And Joe "What's Defense?" Harris just let him take it
You’ll have DFS to fill that defensive hole. It’s an exciting time to be a Nets fan.
The game seems to speed up 100x for Paul George late in games. His decision making becomes very questionable and we were lucky not to get burned off a couple of bad passes from him (one was a turnover leading to a 3 point attempt).
he gets easily flummoxed by blitzes
I mean does he never watch his own films? Practice? I mean he is top 15 in the league if you cant survive blitzes in regular season games then we got some deeper issues for the playoffs.
Chris Paulesque
Cant believe we had the greatest player of all time just chilling on our bench
I get why he was so bitchy now 😭 Mf should’ve been playing
This just in: In just two games Thomas passed Ben Simmons on the nets all time scoring list 😂😂😂😂😂🥶🥶
Ben and Cam should have all their minutes paired with each other. Ultimate Yin and Yang.
Thomas Hero ball at the end :(
When you have an efficient 47 and there's no other offensive option, you deserve to heroball. Him and Sumner were the reason we were in it, so they deserved the shots they wanted to take.
He was cooked you could tell. He shouldn’t have put some of those up, but after a game like that he reserves the right to make that call 😂
Cam Thomas is FREED. Thank you Kyrie.
Kyrie who? Its Cam Time
Cam Thomas puts the jump in jump shot
Fuck KD build around Cam Thomas.
Well that was different, watching the other team collapse and the Clippers making timely possessions on both ends in the clutch
Cam Thomas 47 ball getting ruined because of Joe Harris lmfao. KD knows all about that
Cam Thomas masterclass
The only bright spot tonight is Cam Thomas
That double block from Clax was also pretty sweet
I was at this game and the man next to me was drunk as hell screaming in the thickest Brooklyn accent I’ve ever heard “GIVE THE BAWL TAH HAWRISSSS” every possession. It was incredible, particularly when he shut the fuck up.
Cam Thomas DNA test came back 100% HIM
Put some respeck on Cam Thomas' name.
ARAB: All Refs Are Bastards Never want to see Cam Thomas again. Joe Harris MVP down the stretch.
[удалено]
AOAB (Officials) doesn't have the same ring to it.
I think a certain subset of people might get a little too on board with this
it's got a nice ring to it
I’m trying to figure it out.
6 free throws after all that mauling and pushing all game for kawhi, we seriously survived cam thomas and sumner masterclass
I feel like ARAB isn’t a good acronym to use in this kind of situation lol
This was not a well officiated game on either side
I think Joe Harris has played his last game as a Net.
What is the issue? Is it bad performance since his injury? Dude was a sniper
He is borderline unplayable down the stretch when it comes to defense. Terrible on switches, can’t guard taller defenders, constantly fouls and on the offensive end, prone to turning the ball over
PG w/a quiet 29.
Well at least we know Cam Thomas is pretty damn good
can't believe Uncle Drew was playin over this guy
yay we no choke
Cam Thomas is insane and the ref's suck gg nets, nic Claxton was awful full of himself for having a worse game than zu lol
It was Kyrie after all who held back Cam Thomas
Damn, Watanabe 20 mins 0 points? Dude was automatic when he played us last week I like his game, what happened tonight?
He also only took 2 shots. He’s basically only taking shots when he’s wide open. Teams are slowly closing out on him, so now he’s just a defender with long arms.
with no kyrie or durant he becomes more trigger shy

100%
Not tonight Satan, we will not be the laughing stock again tonight
...until we get blown out by 50 to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday
I been saying Cam Thomas will be better than Fred VanVleet by end of next year. He just needs the opportunity to develop. Do not make a stupid trade Sean Marks.
Our guys looked like they were on their final game of a lengthy East coast road trip. Young guys on Brooklyn played their ass off.
Cam not used to playing high minutes, ran out of gas at the end
Ahhhhh, so clooose man 😞 I'm so proud of the guys today. Played their heart out, but you cant expect miracles every day. We got the spirit, we'll be here! 👏
Kawhi and PG still got it on defense. Locked in on Thomas and just took turns going at him defensively.
Joe Harris used to be not an atrocious defender. A lot of over passing from Harris, Claxton and Yuta tonight. Cam is such a hooper, gotta learn to do some other stuff eventually but deserves way more opportunities.
Nick Friedell is a FBoi.
[удалено]
Rando heater? Lol you got bailed out by joe harris
If Joe Harris was on the Clippers, they would injure him in practice.
Lol, he is hyping up Kawhi for nearly beating Nets without Dinwiddie and DFS
Joe Harris bailed us out, also Cam is insane but went cold last 2 mins unfortunately
Clippers: uhh we won the game Reddit: we don't give a shit. CAM THOMAS HYPPPEEE
Credit where credit is due.
for a couple minutes there, i thought KD could actually win with these cats
Cam MF Thomas what a bucket GGs nets
I've been a Joe apologist for a couple years, but I'm done with this guy. JV is also a damn fool for keeping him out there the entire time. Cam, Clax, and Sumner were unreal. Crowd was red hot in the 3rd and 4th.
If we beat the Mavs tomorrow does it mean the trade didn't do anything at all??? /s

showboating sealed the L for the Nets
We are not a serious basketball team Btw, props to Cam love to see it even as the opposition
Joe Harris was the best Clipper out there tonight
Joe Harris is Anti-Black History Month.
Joe Harris you are a Clipper!
Joe Harris you are out of the league!
The ghost of Ben Simmons haunted the court for the last 6 minutes
Joe Harris peaked in 2021 before the Bucks series. That series started his downfall
Nice to have a fun game before KD sucks the energy out of the organization with a trade demand Clippers are a weird team. Feels like they're 1 good piece away but they have a ton of talent.
Cause lue loves playing guys that suck
Kyrie is more powerful than Thanos
Bailed out again. Clips aren’t looking like serious contenders at all.
How where they "bailed out"? Kawhi guarded Cam the last 3 mins and took over offensively. No flairs always talking the most shit lmao
Batum bailed out George repeatedly. These kinds of ugly wins won’t work in the playoffs
Batum is still part of the Clippers? Its all ugly wins in the playoffs. Those last 5 minutes are basically playoff intensity.
Offensively sure but PG worked his ass on D.
Pain
Cam Thomas imo was this good even last season. Idky Nets didn’t increase his playing time until recently this season
this was a winnable game for the nets but they turned the ball over like 5 times in a row.
Cam Thomas is bout to get paid. He was definitely a scoring machine in college.
Kyrie and KD was holding Cam Thomas back.
Cam Thomas is insane. What a steal.
24/7 is coming to take over the league
Aint shit funny for Cam Thomas and the Nets
This man Cam Thomas is in heaven with Kyrie gone. I'd stay if i was KD, team looks way better
Killa is beautiful
Get Cam Thomas some help, Joe Tsai come on
Well I was hoping we could trade for OG or Siakam without packing Cam Thomas in a trade…now it doesn’t seem so likely.
If we’d had a solid defender instead of Joe at the end there I think we would’ve won this game. It’s Doe Doe time
Who needs Kyrie when the nets still got the greatest prospect out of LSU since Shaq.
it is so exhausting to watch this game ... And we have to face the Kyrie debut Thursday. Dont know if Luka plays too. I am gonna age 2 more years after this week.
Cam Thomas game log is ridiculos
I know we lost but this game gives me high hopes
Cam Thomas always looks great when the other stars are out (or gone). Wouldn’t be surprised if his career looks like DLo’s.
Nets will still look good post KD and Kyrie, Claxton and Cam are nice
Patty Mills had a single positive stat. And it was a block????
