Ant and Shamet trade 3s.

McDaniels puts it on the deck and gets the layup. He's definitely been driving it more lately. I wonder what you guys think. I have mixed feelings and . . . OH MY GOD JEFF GREEN LOOKS OLD AS SHIT! FUCKING MORGAN FREEMAN OUT THERE.

When KD catches the ball at the elbow, just f*cking forget it. He just spins, fades, and it's 2 points every time.

Dave and Jim fighting about KD going to Golden State, you can guess which one says it tarnished his legacy. Jim also pointing out how the Nets actually box out, obviously taking a dig at us because we don't. I don't disagree with him on the boxing out thing, but he's so old school sometimes.

Whoa, Ant with a really tough baseline fadeaway!

And Okogie blocks Durant!

Then fucking Joe Harris hits an impossible fadeaway 3.

Ant with another great drive and finish, really big crossover there. And a breakaway dunk now. He's getting some points and Dave is teaching us more about ant physiology. Suction cup feet. They can fly. Ha! Jim calling him out for it!

73 to 52 at the half.

I'm watching Drew. This Nets team is going to be almost impossible to beat if they are healthy for the playoffs. Maybe we need something like this to force some change. I love basketball, but the NBA is a bit of a joke right now

We're down 21 at the half to a team starting Chiozza, Claxton and Old Man Green. This may be the low point in a terrible season. Getting outrebounded 27-10 and out-assisted 20-10. DLo's line looks good with 15 efficient points, but I don't love the zero assists and 4 TOs. There's no question we are far and away the worst team in the league when KAT doesn't play.

Drew, you started to say you have mixed feelings, and then went into the Jeff Green bit. What do you have mixed feelings about?

DLO is DLO. Leave him open and he will make you pay. But turnovers and laziness pervade. He got matched up on Durant once. Biggest mismatch I've ever witnessed.

Halftime stats? Halftime stats.

Ant with 16 at the half (on 13 shots).

DLO with 15.

Check this: Vando with 6 points (2 for 2 FG, 2 for 2 FT), 2 blocks, 1 steal, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds, including an offensive rebound. Looks like somebody wants to play!

Josh with the nice block on Durant plus 4 steals, hit his only shot (a three-pointer).

Naz with a couple nice blocks, but couldn't finish. He's just 1 for 6.

No Culver or Layman from what I saw.

On the other side, Durant, Harris, and Shamet are killing us. They're a combined 9 for 16 from three.

Without Harden and Irving. Its mental. Petulant adults being rewarded for bad behavior. Seems like quite the manifestation of our society now.

Good to see you cool. Mixed thoughts on Jaden dribbling the ball. I think it'll be great if he can develop that, and sometimes he can finish or make a nice pass out of it, but I always cringe a bit and expect a turnover.

Exactly
