No quit in these boys. Terrific come from behind OT win in Houston tonight despite 58 from Harden. Dinwiddie, Allen, Carroll, Harris were tremendous. These guys are pests. If they can just make the post-season, there's probably not a team in the league that would want to play them. Sticking with the Marks/Atkinson game plan paying big dividends at last.
They're

a very solid team. Play very well together and you can tell they're very well coached.

I think saying theres not a team in the league that would want to see them in the playoffs is way over the top. They'll be pesty but in a 7 game series the talent disparity will show.
A 7 games series could also benefit a

Well coached team. As a 7 seed, I'd say the Nets may be less preferable to whoever the 8, 6, or maybe even 5 seed are hypothetically

I dont think theres a lot of Nets fans who believe theyll win a first round series against Milwaukee or Toronto or Boston. But, they definitely will fight like hell every single game and not go down easy, unlike a normal 7-8 seed.

I think thats what Nets fans mean when they say no one wants to play us, Mook.
Really a great win

Atkinson is remarkable- players love him
For instance Treveon Graham comes back from injury- cant shoot it in the ocean- Kenny keeps giving him support - last night 7/9 21 points- dlo had been carrying the team with dinwiddie slumping pushes the right buttons and spencer goes off and you have dlo on the bench going crazy for the guy- really great stuff
People also slowly realizing that Allen isnt just a complimentary piece but actually has stud potential- the kid is a freak already and still scratching surface
Nice win for the Nets.

Fun team to watch, from what I've seen of 'em.

Harden...UFB. Dude is unreal.

He is but I still can't getnovwr how often he literally throws people with one hand and uses that as leverage for his step back.

so good to see the Nets playing well...fun team to watch.
Its great to see them pull themselves out of the hole  
Giant John : 1/17/2019 8:45 am : link
They have been in for years. . Good team.
I am a Nets fan from a long time ago..  
EricJ : 1/17/2019 8:50 am : link
and used to watch all of their games back when Petrovic was alive, then when Jason Kidd came.

Then, the team was basically dismantled and run into the ground and I stopped watching. I guess you can say that I am no longer really a fan because I cannot name one single player on that team right now.
Harden  
dep026 : 1/17/2019 8:52 am : link
ruining the league.

He has scored over 50 in 2 consecutive games and not ONE of his made field goals was assisted.

Cool. Why do you frequently make this same post on Nets threads?

Great, they don't need you.
Team is fun to watch and deep!  
Simms11 : 1/17/2019 9:43 am : link
They come at you in waves and have multiple players that can score. Marks and Atkinson have done a remarkable job so far. Unfortunately, this is the year that they actually have their first round pick and could have had a top pick, but the way they are playing, they will not have that opportunity. They now have to hope a Star Free Agent will come in this summer. That might be enough to push them to the top of the Division. They have come a long way and credit goes to both Marks and Atkinson for finding talent and potential and developing it.
And Remember...

...they're due to get their best player, LeVert, back at some point.
Knicks fan here but I saw the Nets highlights on the plane  
Del Shofner : 1/17/2019 10:31 am : link
this morning - man, Dinwiddie fired those crucial 3's from a long way out and with a man on him. That was something.

Hopefully, the fact that they've been fairly successful this season despite not having much in the way of star power will entice a top free agent.
Marks  
HeftyLefty : 1/17/2019 12:51 pm : link
Marks and Kenny have done a tremendous job.

Every move Marks has made has been a stroke of brilliance...minus 1, trading for Crabbe. The nets be able to be creative and offer Crabbe plus their Denver 1st this year for an expiring, such as Jabari Parker. However, Crabbe needs to get back on the court and show he can still spread the floor with his shot
Incredible stat

This was the first time in 863 games, dating back 20 years, that Houston has lead by 6 or more points with 30 seconds to go, and lost.

just contributing and I really dont remember what I had for breakfast yesterday let alone what I may have posted about the Nets months ago. Why do you care if I posted it before? Even more odd is why you would remember....
Great coach, front office and player development system in place.  
davek3698 : 1/17/2019 3:11 pm : link
Says a lot when your top players were either picked at 20+ in the draft (Levert, Allen and RHJ) or developed after other teams cast them away (Russell, Dinwiddie and Harris).
I love the fight in this team  
Bramton1 : 1/18/2019 9:26 pm : link
Was looking like tonight was going to be a let down in Orlando. But another fourth quarter really, and the first time over .500 in how many years.
A beautiful tbing  
hitdog42 : 1/18/2019 9:30 pm : link
Dlo was amazing on offense
Unbelievable  
kelsto811 : 1/18/2019 9:42 pm : link
Dinwiddie again + Dlo to close it. 40 point game for Dlo, beautiful
Faried is gone.  
davek3698 : 1/19/2019 9:18 am : link
Buyout agreement. Wonder who takes his spot? Alans Williams? BTW, I saw that Isaiah Whitehead is back is the league, somewhat, with a two-way player contract with Detroit.

hitdog42 : 1/21/2019 5:36 pm : link
Another win it looks like- with dlo going off while joe and Roddy do what they do- play winning basketball
.  
threeofakind33 : 1/21/2019 6:13 pm : link
Whenever it feels like we cant keep this up, these guys just keep winning.
impressive how they closed that one out  
Eric on Li : 1/21/2019 6:15 pm : link
DLo is shooting the lights out and playing a complete game. Contributions from the entire roster. Going to be real interesting to see how they reinsert Levert, but anything else this season is already gravy. Dinwiddie improved and resigned. Russell improved and will be resigned. Kurocs was a find. Cap room for at least 1 max and multiple first round picks in the offseason.
Nice complete win  
kelsto811 : 1/21/2019 7:18 pm : link
No drama today 😁
Nets are fun to watch  
nygiants16 : 1/21/2019 8:06 pm : link
play hard and play together.

Do they max Russell?
