Game Day: Brooklyn Nets (8-10) @ Phoenix Suns (10-7), Wednesday 11/27/2024

Frustrating loss. I really wish Bud had pulled the Big 3 sooner. Both Beal and Durant turned their ankles in the 4th quarter ... Hopefully they won't miss any more time.

[specialsauce]

I mean he is the biggest wuss in the league, there's no doubt.

He had back surgery. It's a legitimate problem that can derail a career.

Beal is an attention seeking wuss with a whole load of fake injuries. Needs everyone to know he's hurt constantly.

[The Bobster]

This team really needs a leader with some killer instinct. A real hardass tough competitor.

They used to have that with Chris Paul and Jay Crowder, but now, nothing.

Bad loss. Yea we're on a B2B but it felt like we came out looking past the Nets and they punched us in the mouth. One of those "we're too cool for these guys" to start the game and by the time we woke up, it was too late. We let guys like Watford and Martin get some confidence and then couldn't stop them. Should've played the younger guys like Oso and Dunn to match their energy and play some defense.

Agree about Beal. Guys play hurt, always have bum ankles and calf/quad stuff going on but he's just annoying with his injuries at this point. He's either soft or really made of glass. The sooner he's off this team the happier I'll be.

This isn't the kind of loss you can flush IMO. Shows a major weakness in our collective mindset. Where was KD's lEaDeRsHip I hear so much about? He doesn't rally the team in a game like this. No one does. And again, Bud isn't pushing the right buttons in terms of getting the right guys out there to do certain things.

I'm not optimistic about this team. I know they're talented, but they're soft. If they don't add some toughness and leadership I think we're in for another very early playoff exit.

This loss still stings the next day. We shouldn't lose a game like this when we're basically at 100% full strength, and it just didn't feel like our guys gave a crap. Booker has basically been in a season-long slump, and Beal has already been injured multiple times in the season. KD is probably our best overall offensive player but he kind of just floats out there in his own world and goes and gets his own points. Dunn had a phenomenal start to the season but lately he can't hit any of his shots. Our center rotation is pretty abysmal; Plumlee tries his best but Nurk is having a basically awful year and can be left. Tyus Jones is a very welcome addition and I'm mostly happy with his play, but it kind of feels like we don't trust him to run the offense. We mostly just give it to KD or Book to initiate. So what's the point of Jones? I like a lot of our wings like Royce O'Neale, Dunn, Allen, Okogie but it feels like we have trouble putting out a lineup that can both score and defend. I hope we get our shit together soon because it seems like the problems of last year's team are rearing their heads again.

Okay, this one is on me.

I won’t make anymore game day threads.

This team is just too soft. I need Royce or Grayson traded for an asshole.

I totally agree that we need somebody to get in the other teams crawl and rally our troops.

So Pat Bev, Dramond and Dillon Brooks are what I'm hearing? At this point, what do we have to lose (besides all pride and dignity that we have left lol) taking a flying on Pat Bev? I just don't see the other two moving.

Who do you suggest we trade for without getting markedly worse on the floor?

Send Allen to ORL for Goga and filler, then Nurkic and a 2ndR to Utah for Clarkson.

Didn't think you could answer the question, there isn't anyone you can trade either of those guys for that make this team better. Stick to complaining, it's all you've got.
