NFT: Nets Fans - Jeremy Lin ruptured patellar tendon

davek3698 : 10/19/2017 11:48 am
done for the year. D’Angelo Russell's team to run now.
Saw it when it happened.

I felt really bad for him. He knew it was bad right away and he kept saying, "I'm done, I'm done" and then it actually hit him that he was done and he lost it. Shame.
Total bummer

The ability to have either he or Russell on court at all times was paramount to their chances of a big win jump
Franchise is really snakebit  
Eric on Li : 10/19/2017 11:59 am : link
only positive is more minutes for younger guys. Hopefully Levert or Crabbe can really establish themselves at the 2. Russell looked really good setting things up last night, so there's that.
damn

this might be it for him
It's a tough blow for the Nets. Lin is a great leader and team guy.  
Vincenzo : 10/19/2017 12:19 pm : link
The silver lining here is more minutes for Caris Levert. I think he is a really nice fit next to Russell and he is probably the one Net that has a chance to blossom into a premier player. The Nets depth is pretty strong and I like the idea of Crabbe coming off the bench.

Some observations from the game last night:

Russell is going to be a stud. He put up what seemed like a pretty effortless 30 points in 30 minutes of play. I think that Marks is going to be receiving major praise by season's end for pulling off that trade.

Speaking of studs, how good is Myles Turner going to be? Talk about impressive.
Obviously Russell has the skills to become a premier player as well

I like the idea of D'Angelo / Levert as the backcourt of the future
So two season-ending injuries in the first two days of the season  
Gatorade Dunk : 10/19/2017 12:26 pm : link
And you could make the argument that the Cavs wound up the beneficiary of both. Heyward's injury weakens Cleveland's toughest competition and now Lin's injury should theoretically help the value of the Nets pick the Cavs got in the Irving trade.
Nets are a joke they are in worse shape than the Knicks

When do they get to have their First Round Pick???? because this team is picking top 4! for sure! its a lock! I guarantee! for the next two or three years! if not more!

ayo hitdog42 Lin might have been the difference of 5/6 games in the win/loss column, max... this Nets team almost has nothing to look forward to this season.

this string wasn't started for childish nets/knicks banter. If you have spent time on BBI, you know it doesn't end well.
Nets' lack of height  
davek3698 : 10/19/2017 1:01 pm : link
is going to be an issue vs certain teams this year. They were exploited last night. Mozgov can only play so many minutes.
Whitehead

Isaiah should get more(some?) PT now too, conceivably. DNPCD last night.

Yeah if they can't give Mozgov more minutes against a team that has a big like Turner, they need to let Allen get some minutes. Can't play undersized at both front court positions.

A Knick fan has no right to make fun of any team haha (well, technically you can do whatever you want but it looks foolish)
Ugh.

I hate these injuries. First Hayward, now Lin.
There is no reason to not play allen

Agreed - they need to find some semblance of an anchor on defense. Especially in games against true centers. Booker is overmatched.
