A better pass woulda helped too lol.

Reggie otm

Cmon MAN!!! Out for Game 4 when it was rumored you were going to make your debut. This dude has ZERO competitive 🔥.. As small a chance as the Nets have to come back in this series, you still have KD and Kyrie, all you need is to win ONE game and take it from there.. #ManUp pic.twitter.com/Y5smcnQkqZ

feels like there's a chance simmo just never plays again

Dray fouled out xp but iggy is a better passer. Def a little worried about iggy and Porter tho. Neither has looked sharp at all. They’ll be needed at some point.

yeah kinda just have to hope you catch them on a good day at this point

feels like there's a chance simmo just never plays again

this post if full of misinfo it was actually the yin yang twins between quarters but anyway the power of the performance seems to have thrown the hawks off their game

the best thing would be for simmo to play game 4, go like 2/7 from the field and 1/4 from the line for 5 points, then have to hear about it all summer so he can find another excuse not to play next year

some good oladipo minutes tonight

theres a major pundit storm gathering around ben simmons and this nets team in general

36-10 on 12-21 shooting for jimmy tonight

21 assists and 5 turnovers for jimmy in this series while averaging 30.5 ppg

jimmy is good salute to jimmy, heat defense has been just destroying trae too

the hawks offseason will be interesting

they have some things to figure out

i know this is a cliche but they need to get a physical veteran type a la pj tucker or jae crowder. they’re just kind of soft, not speaking in the mental sense just from a strength perspective. they have a lot of young thin players

lol of the 16 playoff teams the only one without a win is...the Nets

preseason faves 1. missed the playoffs and 2. are on the verge of getting swept out of the first round, gotta love it

seems people missed the season-long impact of having Kyrie off the court and Westbrook on

this is obviously why ratings are up

Pheonix really not the same without Booker huh

he is their best player

herb jones causing havoc, jumping very high

wow 8 second violation

pelicans are kicking their asses out there

pelicans are creating the blueprint for success here:
- draft a generational talent at #1
- don't play him all season
- trade for an all star scorer at the deadline
- finish 10 games below .500
- allow the #35 pick and an undrafted guy cause chaos against the #1 NBA team

lol at the scorned hand from paul

alvarado is a great pelican. he looks and acts like a pirate.

the fact that the crouching in the corner then sneaking up move works is so funny

this is the nba something that dumb should not

it’s really funny. pels have a second round rookie and an undrafted rookie playing in their crunch time line up, going head to head w/ the one seed. crazy stuff

If Herb Jones had sold that like CP3 would have, CP3 would have been ejected.

There was also this

⁦@NBAonTNT⁩ I love Herb Jones. He’s a fighter. pic.twitter.com/QCKpXbu15e

when the gods wish to punish chris paul they send him to the playoffs

Hero

If the reports about CP3 hurting his left hand and getting it checked out by the med staff at halftime are true (he basically hasn't dribbled with it in the 4th), Suns are cooked. It would be extremely unlucky, but this is the risk you sign up for when you're a Chris Paul team

Chris Paul had one of his worst playoff performances of his career in game 4 vs the Pelicans. He posted just 4 points, 25% FG, 0 3pt FG, and 0 FT. All are worst or tied for worst of his playoff career pic.twitter.com/3M34NJlmRu

old

On other news I just heard bones hyland speak for the first time…

Bones Hylund is such a great name, sounds like he should be running a numbers operation for the mob in 1951

deadball era shortstop

bones hyland and herb jones does sound like a legendary double play combo for the st. louis browns

lol nash hates him

Nash on Simmons: “I wasn’t really expecting him to play [in Game 4].” Nash reiterated that Simmons will play whenever he is ready. He also said that as of now Simmons isn’t getting another MRI on his back.
