The Nets were crowding the paint, so we needed Solomon's spacing which is why Bruno didn't play as much.  When we play bigger teams, Bruno will get more minutes.

Were they, or was sorry, lazy arse DeAndre Jordan just doin his thang aka camping out and not moving his feet or doing much of anything besides scratchin his butt?

Nets post-game analysts had issue with the Trae-JC backboard oop at the end of the game, saying it was “a young team rubbing it in”.  Suggested that “maybe a hard foul is in order next time they play.  It would be good to see, wouldn’t it?” 

 

Safe to say, we got under their skin.  The rivalry is on, and I like where we’re at and how we’ll continue to get better.

Somebody call the Whaaaambulance.  

I guarantee KD and Kyrie could care less.

Yeah, he's too good of a scorer. More like Middleton 

Dangit, why didn't you warn me, bro.

I got so much crow to eat, Imma end up looking like Zion Doncic.

Aw, it's just a joke folks.  Just kidding.  Hehe

I'm rounding into my 2015 form of not watching the games live, enjoying the victory post-game, then viewing the replay...

John Collins "We are not a joke!" Y'all the young guys are getting confident!

Btw, this is no longer Trae Young and the Hawks.  It's just the Hawks.

I’m super impressed and this was without our whole team!

On another serious note collins made some offensive moves that blew me away! He had 2 size up shots he hit confidently over KD! One where he put the ball on the floor bit and pulled a mid range fader!....IF Collins can do that consistently....MAN...yeah he’s going to be a max player without question! I mean that on top of what he already does great will make him the unquestionable second best scorer on this team and top 10 big man scorer in the league.

 

Defense was better overall for the whole team. Really loved Traes effort to contest shots vs Harris tonight as well.

That wasn’t JCs best scoring game but I’m blown away with some of the offensive moves JC had. Looks like he has things in his skillset we haven’t seen yet enough

Run it in even harder next time. Nets were completely outclassed this "series" and if their bench hadn't shot out of their minds game 1 it would have been an easy sweep. Brooklyn has some holes, especially on defense.

hated how much he was slept on this offseason. They'll both be great. Was glad to finally see one of Cam's stretches where he takes over offensively

Agreed -- it was actually even nicer that he hadn't made a FG yet and still had the confidence to keep firing.

Overall, I really feel like this game was won on the defensive end.  Collins/Capela/Hunter kept our offense afloat but the effort/intensity on defense was real nice, and they seemed to be communicating better / breaking down less

I listened on the radio, my workout zoomed by tonight thanks to a few talented NBA guys

[terrell]

So when Travis actually tries to put together a winning team, this is what we get.........Schlenking

[IheartVolt]

And a huge shout out to Kevin playing some big boy D tonight

[Marvin24Williams]

Hunter's defense on Kyrie was damn good.

How much cheese did you have with their whine?

How delicious were their tears?

Yeah. It should not be lost in all the euphoria that the Hawks went on the road and beat a top team in the East by 18 in a game where Trae had an inefficient  21 and 7.  They didn't win tonight solely because of Trae's contributions. This TEAM is really good.
