I don't think the win was a big surprise to be honest as the Cavs really played well and they gave no chance for Nets to take the lead and then the win. The fact that NETS don't know how to defense without KD will make things super hard for them in case KD gets injured again. They should really exercise defensive basketball a lot because the offensive is working good but you can't win if you can't defense.

It was unexpected.

Jarrett Allen played a very impressive match and he's dominant on this game. Tsk tsk.

Losing 2 times in a row for the same team, I don't know what the Nets feel after it.

The big 3 played together, they loss, harden + Irving, they loss. This team will received a big criticism if they fail, they let go of their role players just to acquire Harden, now look at them, they are good in offense but they struggle in defense.


I would completely agree with this, Durant + Harden is already enough for this team to win, the ball rotation is better than Irving holding the ball.

1 game only and that is against the same team who beat them last night.

But here's what happened, when Harden arrived, he played with Durant and they won 2 games in a row, but when Irving came back, that's where the problem starts, they are in a 2 losing streak now and Irving has not won a game since his return.



All I can say is that Nets has to improve, it's not too late, we are only at the early stage of the regular season.

With kyries attitude? I doubt he will adjust on the line up since he always want to be the first option in terms of scoring so it's hard for both 3 stars to facilitate theirselves when they are together so best to trade him since we already see the combination of harden - durant without kyrie they won the 2 games and with kyrie they lost 2 games with many turnovers acquired. So I think this is enough already and they should try to acquire a defensive guy to fill the gap on their team.

Harden and Irving are not really known for his defense but Jordan, I think he is a good defensive player, maybe he was just owned by Andre Drummond. Also if you look at his numbers, you'll be disappointed as his stats is dropping.

I have the same question in my mind.
Is the management now regretting the decision they made for trading Allen and LeVert?
Or, will they put all the blame on Coach Nash just like what other management does.
2 losing streak against the same team is not a good sign.
I hope they have a back-up plan for this.

But after all of that, they are still the 2nd favorite.

Cavs are very strong on centers and PF. Nets are very weak on those positions. So they totally unfavorable opponent. 
I also expect Cavs to try to unload some of their tall players and trade them for some picks or whatever they need.

I would say if there was a way to trade Kyrie which I doubt that other teams would want him, obviously he is a great player when he plays and wants to contribute but when he doesn't want to dude is just a flat earth I am at home not coming to game type of guy so it could be hard to trade him. However if they really want to trade him, wouldn't it be shocking if they traded him for westbrook?

I mean wizards got westbrook just recently and gave John Wall for him, which is not really a nice move by Wizards since Wall gave his all since he was drafted and suddenly was gone, but let's assume they just gave Westbrook away, that would require Deandre Jordan to leave too I guess to cover the difference, but if teams could somehow agree to it, with some picks and all switching hands, I would say that would be hilarious. Nets having westbrook+harden+durant together. It is not impossible, it could totally happen "if" teams want to, mathematically and cap reasons, it could happen.
