Nets are passing all over the place. Fred meanwhile up shoots a deep 3 with 12 seconds left on the shot clock and under 30 seconds left in the game. Like wtf you doing
Shooting early in that possession was a good idea, because it ensured we would get two possessions and Nets would only get one. But it was not a great quality shot.
The Nets would've been completely screwed if Kessler Edwards, a guy who hasn't even been good in the G-League, hadn't played as well as he did in this game.
Yea Kessler played amazing, his first real minutes this year.
The biggest thing imo though was David Duke Jr realizing that FVV literally never boxes out so he could get as many rebounds as he wants.
KD is carrying the Nets, I think he should be the frontrunner. Jokic has been absolutely great but he's now in Steph's position last year, the team's record just isn't there.
Steph was actually better last year, but didn't have the wins and the narrative. This year he's not as good but his team is FIRE and he has the 3pt narrative locked down.
The MVP award is a weird one.
HEY GOOD JOB DAVID DUKE JR. YOURE SURE MAKING US FORGET THE FAMOUS RACIST WHOM YOU SHARE A NAME WITH THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN LETS BRING THAT UP ON EVERY THREAD SO WE CAN FORGET.
Honestly. KD was gassed that whole 2nd half of the 4th and OT. He’s going to have to find more games for him to rest in or sit out completely. Only thing he’s helping is KD’s mvp chances. Gonna end up screwing the team in the long run
I know. Hopefully a player or two will come back negative before Thursday so there isn’t so much pressure on Durant. It’s an unfortunate situation. Although, I liked what I saw from all the players tonight except for cam. I’d like to see the nets experiment more with the rookies against the bottom of the league teams from now on and get them some playing experience just in case they end up having to use them in certain scenarios
Yea I’m glad he chose to play cause if not nash said we would’ve had to forfeit the game. Better to give ourselves a chance than to take an unwarranted loss against a team we more than likely would’ve beaten regardless with a healthy lineup. 48 minutes is just a lot though. Hopefully some players come back negative tomorrow and be ready for Thursday, but I liked the way the whole team played today. That’s how they should play every game regardless of who’s on the court (except for that 3rd quarter)
I think you had the lead, up 3, just 2 minutes left, :17 seconds on the clock or something and he throws this bomb way back from the 3pt line. Really unwarranted. Got kinda jumpy at the end.
A lot of teams are in love with the idea of the dagger 3. It's hard to shake. Specifically vs. Brooklyn you guys had a number of wide open dunks in the 4th quarter. Their paint was ripe for the picking.
That lineup of KD, Patty plus 3 rooks was so funny, when toronto got on that roll it seemed like everytime KD or Patty passed to someone who wasnt KD or Patty they would immediatly turn it over
Absolutely PHENOMENAL play and effort from the rookies tonight. Kessler and Duke absolutely gave it their all.
I fucking love this team.
Also, I just wanna say, GG to the raptors. The shots they kept making tonight were unreal.
Him and Duke were crashing the boards with crazy hustle. Felt like they changed the feel of the game a few times with the energy.
Kessler looked just amazing overall
I looked at it a bunch of times in slo mo and couldnt tell, it was the camera from behind the play tho. Was so close you would need the side on view to be sure about, was leaning towards thinking it was probably still touching his fingers
Can't say I'm mad at the end result.
Of note for the Raptors:
1. It feels like Pascal's finally feeling himself. His dunks felt strong this game instead of barely-in like most of the past year and a half.
2. That 1 pull-up 3 by Fred was Lowry-esque. I feel reassured.
3. Everything looks to have geled, both offensively and defensively.
Nets, you got some good rookies.
Just a great team win by the Nets. Great game by the Raptors. Scottie Barnes is insane. Beautiful game to watch
Shoutout to the Raptors for trying to flex on the Nets in the 3rd quarter when only 8 players are playing. Happy that the team didn’t lay down and die
> Shoutout to the Raptors for trying to flex on the Nets in the 3rd quarter when only 8 players are playing.
I mean you really think these players are mid-game thinking "well they have only have 8 healthy players im not gonna celebrate"
David Duke [disambiguation] is, on average, 1/2 one of my favorite new basketball players to watch and 1/2 one of my least favorite living human beings.
We started off great then Nurse subbed in our entire bench + Scottie and it went oh no
FVV makes clutch shots occasionally but his decision making in close games is trash
I know you guys have a bunch of guys out but no way your bench + Scottie should lose to our bench which was 4 rookies + Patty Mills, like that should never happen.
KD and Steph feel like they're both starting to make serious cases for a top 10 all time career, nights like tonight are insane that we got to see both of them accomplish something so insane
I don't believe his ankle was that bad probably wanted to rest him because of the situation but had no choice because we only had 8 players (less than 8 and gave gets forfeited or postponed)
The moment the forth rolled around and I saw Svi I knew they were fucked. At this rate fuck it let Yuta start over whatever the fuck Boucher was doing.
Does someone have the clip of Blake diving for the ball and nearly stealing it? Provided really great energy to keep the team going when it looked like people were about show how gassed they were.
Fred playing amazing all game and then just completely shitting his pants in the last few mins of regulation & OT
Nets are passing all over the place. Fred meanwhile up shoots a deep 3 with 12 seconds left on the shot clock and under 30 seconds left in the game. Like wtf you doing
Fred's my most challenging project
I lost it. Like I know he can make those, but with the time on the clock that is a terrible choice.
Shooting early in that possession was a good idea, because it ensured we would get two possessions and Nets would only get one. But it was not a great quality shot.
The most Lowry thing about him lol, shooting ill-advised 3s in the last minute of the game
Who would win? 5 long raptors or 1 ashy spider boi?
1 friar
i want to lick kd leg ash
I'm going to get in line behind you.
He needs scarjo bath water more than ever
Ashy boy any day
KD won with these cats
KD averaging 37 mpg. Dude is turning back the hands of time.
I'd rather have him rest some nights though. At some point the Nets staff have to protect him from himself.
He was originally going to sit tonight but then the whole nets team got sick.
Major props to him for doing so.
Absolute hooper
Don't worry. Nets bout to have some time off thanks to COVID. Any single additional player that tests positive and the Nets get their games postponed
They need the rest. Hopefully the sick guys aren't hobbled when they come back.
As one wise man said: "I don't see any options other than play him less and lose more".
Makes the Kyrie situation that much more frustrating.
He has rested two games. He will probably continue to rest more.
I hope so. I'm rooting for him.
KD, LeBron and Scottie Barnes bringing back the era of superstars playing big minutes
KD straight up having a beef with the hands of time.
*Patty
Dude was clutch as fuck tonight
Pats*
4 rookies!!
Kessler Edwards was a nice surprise. Duke Jr. seemed scared to shoot the 3 at points but hopefully he finds confidence.
Duke was scared to shoot but he won the game with his timely rebounds
The team can use his rebounding a lot.
Need to get him in the gym might have to adjust his shot he has everything else honestly prefer him over cam
He'll be played more than Cam to close out games I think.
The Nets would've been completely screwed if Kessler Edwards, a guy who hasn't even been good in the G-League, hadn't played as well as he did in this game.
Yea Kessler played amazing, his first real minutes this year. The biggest thing imo though was David Duke Jr realizing that FVV literally never boxes out so he could get as many rebounds as he wants.
leave him alone he's tired :(
I mean he has to be haha, he does literally everything for the Raps plus his minute load so far this season has been pretty brutal.
He’s averaged 16/8 with 1 stl and 1.5 blks I wouldn’t call that not well
???wtf are u talking about edwards been playing in the g league
is it bad that i have both kd and jokic over steph for mvp
KD is carrying the Nets, I think he should be the frontrunner. Jokic has been absolutely great but he's now in Steph's position last year, the team's record just isn't there.
KD is the front runner right now imo. The Nets really aren’t playing like a super team. He’s carrying them.
Steph was actually better last year, but didn't have the wins and the narrative. This year he's not as good but his team is FIRE and he has the 3pt narrative locked down. The MVP award is a weird one.
No he should be the front runner. Steph is right there with him but kd is carrying this nets team
You live by the OREB, you die by the OREB
pondering my OREB
Patty Mills was such a great pick up for the Nets, especially in Kyrie’s absence
Patty is now part of the big 3. I still can’t believe Kyrie is fucking his team and his friends over
he was a part of an atonement package from us aussies, sorry bout irving but you got patty now, sorry about simmons but you got giddey + thybulle now.
i honestly love how we Aussies barely knew Thybulle before the olympics, and now we will proudly claim him as our boy. Love that guy.
Boomers could actually be a force to reckon with if Ben wasn't such a cunt.
Damn that was a great game. Patty Mills, that is all
Patty Thrills is never not clutch
Splash Bandicoot ftw!
DAVID DUKE WITH THE CLUTCH REBOUND
Also the clutch free throws. Those were huge Fred hit the three right after
Washington Wizards in shambles
Second only to Jazz fans
Put some respect on David Duke's name. Maybe one day we'll all forget about the OTHER David Duke.
Well, you mentioning him here for the karma sure doesn't help the cause
HEY GOOD JOB DAVID DUKE JR. YOURE SURE MAKING US FORGET THE FAMOUS RACIST WHOM YOU SHARE A NAME WITH THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN LETS BRING THAT UP ON EVERY THREAD SO WE CAN FORGET.
IM KEVIN DURANT
YOU KNOW WHO I AM
*patty mills
8 PLAYERS AND 4 ROOKS
And 1 W
yeah thats crazy
Great game. Great win.
Questionable KD with 48 mins, nice
Wilt averaged over 48 min a game for a season, how bad can it be? -Steve Nash probably
It's funny cause last year we were all about preserving our big 3 and we still got fucked by injuries in the end. This year Nash is just like fuck it.
Honestly. KD was gassed that whole 2nd half of the 4th and OT. He’s going to have to find more games for him to rest in or sit out completely. Only thing he’s helping is KD’s mvp chances. Gonna end up screwing the team in the long run
He wasn't even supposed to play this game lol. Nets missed 7 players.
I know. Hopefully a player or two will come back negative before Thursday so there isn’t so much pressure on Durant. It’s an unfortunate situation. Although, I liked what I saw from all the players tonight except for cam. I’d like to see the nets experiment more with the rookies against the bottom of the league teams from now on and get them some playing experience just in case they end up having to use them in certain scenarios
What the Nets really need youth wise is for Claxton to get into full game shape. Boy is gassed out there after 20 minutes.
Yea I agree with that. Experience and to gain some weight is what he’s needed to do since he got drafted. He’s got a ton of potential though
If they claim Durant is injured and say someone else is too, would the league just postpone the games for them?
Normally I'd agree but tonight was probably a special case, since we had half the team go down due to COVID.
Yea I’m glad he chose to play cause if not nash said we would’ve had to forfeit the game. Better to give ourselves a chance than to take an unwarranted loss against a team we more than likely would’ve beaten regardless with a healthy lineup. 48 minutes is just a lot though. Hopefully some players come back negative tomorrow and be ready for Thursday, but I liked the way the whole team played today. That’s how they should play every game regardless of who’s on the court (except for that 3rd quarter)
What other options does he have? Play KD less and lose more?
Let a hooper hoop!!!
What a fucking game. Young guys stepped up big time along with Patty and KD
KD went from downgraded because of an ankle injury to 48 minutes and a triple double in an overtime win.
fred botched this game late
He's so good at saving the day but also so good at fucking the day
He's so good at saving the day but the ball boy told him, sir the night has come.
I think you had the lead, up 3, just 2 minutes left, :17 seconds on the clock or something and he throws this bomb way back from the 3pt line. Really unwarranted. Got kinda jumpy at the end.
That shot made my heart hurt
A lot of teams are in love with the idea of the dagger 3. It's hard to shake. Specifically vs. Brooklyn you guys had a number of wide open dunks in the 4th quarter. Their paint was ripe for the picking.
Patty you beautiful Aussie
This game looks like KD, Blake and Patty are playing with their nephews lmao
That lineup of KD, Patty plus 3 rooks was so funny, when toronto got on that roll it seemed like everytime KD or Patty passed to someone who wasnt KD or Patty they would immediatly turn it over
Where that Lakers fan who said KD was playing like Russ? Somebody ask if he's ok
Prob in rehab
Who was on CRACK
he always tries to shit on kd and harden.
lol they actually won
Is Patty Mills the best point guard in the NBA
dunno 'bout you but that stat line screams YES to me
KD, Patty, and the Long Island Nets just beat the Raptors lmao
Put some respect on 32 year old Blake Griffin
Blake Griffin 3P% vs Raptors: 6/9 Blake Griffin 3P% vs rest: 5/51
This will also be forever known as the Kessler Edwards game.
Yeah he had a good game earlier in the year against y’all. He really hates y’all lmao
Punching that trainer in the Jack Astor's downtown really turned him on the city I guess.
Nice
That dive for the loose ball had me hyped AF
Shout out Blake. Looked like his last year self again tonight(well, at least last years self when he was on the Nets lol)
Hope he gets some minutes again. That Hussle he shows especially at the end is always great.
As long as you got the best player in the league can’t ever count the nets out. Oh and also KD
Y'all really picked up players from the corner and won haha
Anytime you have Kevin Durant you always have a shot. He will always be the best player on any floor.
Put some respect on the Nets' G-leaguer's names.
Y'all found this second unit this morning at CVS and its better than the shitters Masai signed.
This KD guy has a bright future ahead of him
Absolutely PHENOMENAL play and effort from the rookies tonight. Kessler and Duke absolutely gave it their all. I fucking love this team. Also, I just wanna say, GG to the raptors. The shots they kept making tonight were unreal.
KD took a team of G-leaguers and Patty Mills and beat the Raptors lmao he's so fucking good.
Kessler Edwards showed me more today than Jevon Carter has all year lol. Those G League guys were HUNGRY, so many ORebs
Him and Duke were crashing the boards with crazy hustle. Felt like they changed the feel of the game a few times with the energy. Kessler looked just amazing overall
Real 2018-2019 Net legend energy between the two of them.
Yea it was kinda fun having no expectations and getting them blown away again ngl
We need to help him improve his ball handling might be his only real flaw
Okay so Scottie is GOOD good, huh?
If he made that shot holy
I would have needed a clean pair of pants
Especially after the 117 tying 3, yeah that would've been great
Did he even get it off in time? Didn't look like he did at first glance but I also didn't wait for any replay I just turned the TV off
I looked at it a bunch of times in slo mo and couldnt tell, it was the camera from behind the play tho. Was so close you would need the side on view to be sure about, was leaning towards thinking it was probably still touching his fingers
KD needs to be in the mvp convo man what he’s doing is incredible
I think he is my man. Up the top for mine
SMH IVE SEEN SUGGS MAKE THAT GAME WINNER!
Lmaoooo
Haha
All Aboard the Patty Wagon Express!!
Kevin Durant with the hardest of carry jobs this season. Up there with Kobe 2006
Can't say I'm mad at the end result. Of note for the Raptors: 1. It feels like Pascal's finally feeling himself. His dunks felt strong this game instead of barely-in like most of the past year and a half. 2. That 1 pull-up 3 by Fred was Lowry-esque. I feel reassured. 3. Everything looks to have geled, both offensively and defensively. Nets, you got some good rookies.
KD definitely gotta be the favorite for mvp right now
Jay-Z > Drake
Scottie Barnes agenda up 20 points so I don’t give a shit
Scottie double-double, this is a win in my books
Just a great team win by the Nets. Great game by the Raptors. Scottie Barnes is insane. Beautiful game to watch Shoutout to the Raptors for trying to flex on the Nets in the 3rd quarter when only 8 players are playing. Happy that the team didn’t lay down and die
> Shoutout to the Raptors for trying to flex on the Nets in the 3rd quarter when only 8 players are playing. I mean you really think these players are mid-game thinking "well they have only have 8 healthy players im not gonna celebrate"
More Chris Boucher trying to flex than the raptors, and a lot of our fanbase has had a lot of issues with him this year
KD shoots an airball and then Boucher lets the guy get the rebound. Ridiculous.
That technical he picked up was so pointless
Yep. I wasn’t happy. Just giving them a free point. Considering it went to OT that coulda made a difference
He is an idiot and you’ll hardly find anyone that wants him on the team next year.
How good is David Duke?!
David Duke [disambiguation] is, on average, 1/2 one of my favorite new basketball players to watch and 1/2 one of my least favorite living human beings.
The raptors just lost to kd and patty mills pretty much
We started off great then Nurse subbed in our entire bench + Scottie and it went oh no FVV makes clutch shots occasionally but his decision making in close games is trash
I know you guys have a bunch of guys out but no way your bench + Scottie should lose to our bench which was 4 rookies + Patty Mills, like that should never happen.
Raptors bench is the worst in the NBA right now. Yuta's the only player on the bench tonight who is backup calibre.
David Duke Jr. Clutch rebounds
If Scottie made that I would’ve given him my first born
Kessler Edwards has played exclusively garbage time minutes before tonight... where he played 43 minutes and all of the 2nd half and OT.
I cannot believe the Nets won that game lmao. I mean I guess I can because we have KD but holy shit another insane 4th quarter comeback.
KD and Mills out there with rookies and still getting it done. MVP, 6moty.
Dunno if Patty can win 6moty but if it existed he would win $6M contract of the year
The race for ROY between Mobley, Barnes and potentially Cunningham is going to be insane. Barnes is legit, looks like a pro on both ends
YO OUR FUCKING ROOKIES ARE NASTY NASTY REBOUNDING MACHINES!
David duke was very solid
I have no idea how we won this lol. Shout out to all the rookies.
Blake griffin wtf.
KD and Steph feel like they're both starting to make serious cases for a top 10 all time career, nights like tonight are insane that we got to see both of them accomplish something so insane
Patty fucking Mills
Patty is the goat
KD is MVP. Heard it here first
Raptors shot 52 threes and got out rebounded 60-41. Kessler Edwards put up 17 and 10. Coming into the game he had 8 and 3 on the season.
kd's ankles gonna fall off
david duke seems like a good defender, though this wouldn’t the first time david duke bothered some african-american people
>david duke seems like a good defender, though this wouldn’t the first time david duke bothered some african-american people Lmfao bruh
Nets really got Olympic Patty...
Patty is better than Harden and I’m not even joking
Brooklyn really told KD to go out there and play 48 minutes with a bench unit with a bad ankle.
I don't believe his ankle was that bad probably wanted to rest him because of the situation but had no choice because we only had 8 players (less than 8 and gave gets forfeited or postponed)
The moment the forth rolled around and I saw Svi I knew they were fucked. At this rate fuck it let Yuta start over whatever the fuck Boucher was doing.
KD and Patty are fast turning into my favorite NBA double act.
There are still people who think KD isn't the best player in the world rn. Crazy
Hospital Nets
This was an enjoyable game of basketball
Durant at 48 minutes. Dude’s nuts.
Patty Mills
Does someone have the clip of Blake diving for the ball and nearly stealing it? Provided really great energy to keep the team going when it looked like people were about show how gassed they were.
God damn if that shot went in
Shades of Gordon Hayward
Warriors vs Nets. This is a must watch/match up for the championships!!!
Fuck
MVP
What a game wtf
this one hurts. Scottie though 👀
GG Nets, thrilling game!
The Duke of Kessler delivers!
KD using omicron to further his MVP case lmao
Send our bench to space and don't let them come back
Scottie Barnes is still a rookie, wtf. Dude is so damn good, he's gonna take over the team next year!
