    It helps to not be playing the Dallas Mavericks.

    Thought he was quite lost tonight, but he played 44 minutes.

    overall I agree though

    the 3 guard lineups still have no chance of stopping anyone

    All 7 players who got serious minutes provided something to the victory!

    Better overall player for sure. Definitely not a better offensive player than Ant.

    Probably not a better offensive player, but I'd say Bridges is a better player.

    The Nets wouldn't give him up for a kings ransom though. Where some here would give up Ant for next to nothing.

    I hadn't looked at his numbers this season. He has fallen off from last season's Brooklyn numbers quite a bit. I just knew he was around 21M/year

    Shaedon with the sneaky 6th man punch off the bench, 21pts & clutch take at the end of regulation.

    How is it a conclusion? Stating a fact and sharing stats is not a conclusion.

    Saying he has been bad in 4th quarters is not the same as saying he's always bad in 4th quarters.
