    Harden out as well as Irving and Durant? That seems like another trap game.
    Make all the jokes about Claxton you want but he is better than our backup center. Jordan feasts on teams without an inside presence as well.
    Bruce Brown is better than the Blazers non existent Backup PG unless you say CJ is the Backup?

    Three games in four days on the road looks like this team is going to push bench role players and see if they can create some havoc.

    My biggest complaint about Stotts is he doesn't seem to be interested in rest games and minutes management over a season. There are games where you know players are simply treading water trying to get through the motions. During those stretches i would be more willing to rest players that have been carrying the load.

    Nice catch. How does this get approval?
    Guess we are lucky Lillard's Birthday is in July.

    it wasn't that long ago that most fans east of Utah thought Kyrie was a better player than Dame

    don't see much of that narrative any more

    We are favored by 3.5 points right now so Vegas seems to be trying to get bettors to pick the Nets and even though Harden is still listed as questionable, the bookmakers might know that he's out.

    He should. It supports a very heavy ego

    Well, they have to get his avg. points in their stat column.. I think Harris and Griffin will accomplish more than Nash expects. It's gonna be close.

    Just saw on the Blazers pregame show that the Nets are the highest rated offense of ALL-TIME. The Blazers are the 8th highest rated of ALL-TIME. This is a different era of basketball we’re in. In fact, 6 of the top 8 highest rated offenses of all-time are from this season.

    1. 2020-2021 Nets 117.9
    2. 2020-2021 Bucks 116.9
    3. 2020-2021 Clippers 116.9
    4. 2020-2021 Jazz 116.7
    5. 2019-2010 Mavs 116.7
    6. 2020-2021 Nuggets 116.6
    7. 2018-2019 Warriors 115.9
    8. 2020-2021 Blazers 115.8
