I'm not sure if the Nets are just trying to tank, or if they honestly think that Claxton is going to be the next Hakeem down low. I'm all for development but this looks like a bad idea all the way around hahaha.

I mean, not really. This is a Nets team playing with a lot of confidence with wins over Boston, Minny and Den (all on the road) over the last 2 weeks and a 5-2 record. Mikal Bridges been playing like a star.

They're just super flat and/or we're playing good defense. Also really helps Claxton has absolutely no answer for Domas physicality in the post.

Tbf he has helped them win a lot of games this season, Sabonis is just dominating him.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Nets announcers are some of the least annoying I’ve heard all year long. They’re pretty low-key and not homer at all.

I don't listen to a ton of Nets' broadcasts, but Ryan Ruocco is usually the play-by-play announcer for ESPN's "C team" during the NBA season, and is their "A-team" announcer for the WNBA. He's good.

 

[captain bill]

Hamstring oooof... Hopefully a quick recovery we need him for the playoffs for sure

 

[Kingz19]

James Ham hasn’t confirmed but Woj says it’s the hamstring for Huerter

I'm talking offensively. They've been hammering that ball down low to him at will. He looks pretty limited as a post player. Once a double comes he's got nothing.

Lol

As a dominating iso post up player? I haven't watched him a ton but he looks pretty raw down low to me.

Not offensively no, more about his defensive prescence. But again, Sabonis is dominating him tonight in both areas.

Thank you.

Now I KNOW for sure.

Welp! Now we can’t even pretend it’s not true

Might see Davis starting for a stretch of games

 

[Lionheart]

Come on Huerter! Hamstring? I once played football in college with a dislocated shoulder.

So exactly what the Nets commentators said 15 minutes ago. Gotcha.

Hoping it's Kessler as the "Thabo Sefolosha" to Monk being the "Harden"

Not usually quick.....gotta rest extra. Davis probably gets more minutes.

Thankfully, we're in a position where we don't have to absolutely rush him back. Monk, TD, Davion and even Kessler now can fill minutes.

Claxton has been playing very well all season. His athleticism is freakish and gets off the floor extremely quickly. Opponents shoot 12% worse within 6 ft of the rim when Claxton is there, which is the 6th best in the league.

Sabonis is just simply too strong for him.

Meghan Triplett (aka The Nets Commentator™) is in the arena. Is Ham?

That was indeed Meghan's report on the court.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Fox jist looks flat with his 3s

 

[206Fan]

Strange swapping back between this and the Iowa game. It’s like I’m seeing 2 Keegans qs in 2 different games

 

[Hoovtrain]

I just need to keep talking crap on him

 

[Kingz19]

Lol Domas coast to coast

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Barnes is a real pro's pro

 

[SLAB]

Sabonis!

 

[Letsgokings13]

I can't stand Spencer Dimwit.

 

[SLAB]

Jacques Vaugn’s beard game is almost as strong as Lovie Smith’s.

 

[The_Jamal]

Leg-Kick

I swear, refs never call these damn shooters on it.

He's like the real life Uncle Drew
