The Nets have only gone 2-6 throughout their 8 games (since Kevin Durant's injury).
Big time opportunity for our Knicks to not only kick Brooklyn while they're down but to also inch closer to the 4 seed (currently 3.0 games back of BK for the #4 seed; a win today and we're only 2.0 games back of BK for the 4th seed).
Really looking forward to this game (with a chance @ winning 3-in-a-row) along with our trio of Brunson/Randle/Barrett.
Is there a more unlikable team in sports than the current Nets roster?

Eagles and Cowboys are close.

Which is crazy. Because the Nets are still considered as the favorites by -1.5 Points (despite being without Ben Simmons, TJ Warren and especially Kevin Durant)?
But yet the Knicks are still considered underdogs?
Hopefully our entire roster feels disrespected (by Vegas) and come out on 🔥.

Houston Astros
Teams that play a dude named Tom Brady
The reggie Miller pacers
The Jordan Bulls
Riley coached Miami Heat.
The 1974 Boston Celtics

I find my self feeling sorry for him now. I know he bought much upon this himself but after its all said and done there is a young man who is internally not right and kind of lost.
As for Kyrie? Arrogantly ignorant. Its one thing to be misinformed, but another to double down and defend it.
Im not against a man having his views. But to be so openly defiant about so many things is mind boggling.
He is a brilliant basketball player and I can’t disrespect that talent.
His hearts in the right place. But he just is missing something in his personality.

This is where teams become dangerous. They are like “Phuck it”.

I get what you're saying but the Nets are only 11-25 throughout the previous 2 years without Kevin Durant and 11-25 @ .305% = the opposite of a dangerous team (without KD).
They literally have a lottery team/roster without Kevin Durant (just goes to show how great he is when on the court).

Yeah, I hate to see it. Anyone just incredibly blessed in one area thinking it directly translates to everything else. Zero humbling when he was young is my guess
Ben Simmons to miss game with vagina soreness!
Super interested to see how Grimes, IQ, McBride handle Kyrie.
Knicks have weapons.

Same here.
Nets had both of KD & Ben Simmons last game but they destroyed us by 27 points (all while Kyrie Irving missed the game and didn't play).
And Grimes (4 mins) and McBride (6 mins) only combined for 10 minutes. While guys like Rose (10) and Evan freaking Fournier (20) combined for 30 minutes of absolutely atrocious (no) Defense.
I'm anxious to see not only IQ/Grimes/Deuce on Kyrie Irving but also R.J. Barrett on him @ times too.
