Both opponents played soft defensively,It felt like tanking basketball and they should be embarrassed.
The Nets play scrappy and a much better test Monday night for Hayward.

Loved the way Tommy came to Kyries defense and telling off bashers.
Ainge gifts  us with a former number one pick,rookie of year ,all NBA team,gold metal winner 5/6 time all star,multiple NBA Finals and hit the winning shot to win Finals.Now having best season of career,a fringe MYP season while playing defense handing out assists  and hitting offensive boards.

He is finally playing pain free after two years.Those two last surgeries one was a minimally invasive hardware removal and the second to take screws out after finding an infection with a longer healing time as bone filled a grew over the holes .They were in there ,had a good look and found no structural damage to his knee. 26 years old just entering his prime.
The same age as Buddy Hield.
May i remind those that want Rozier as point guard the many years Atlanta played great basketball but never got over the hump.
Danny and Wyk will not let that happen.

Just want to point out that they play the Nets tomorrow night, not tonight.

Nets have been playing really well the past month. Can’t take them lightly or we will lose.

More than any year the gap between winning and losing is very small. Possible that no team will win 60 games this season. When is the last time that has happened?

Just to add that he's also taken seriously his leadership role, including    creating shots for teammates: big jump in Assist% to 35.3, which is 12th in the league.
'I was proud of Marcus Smart. He did a great job of keeping us together. He might not get credit for this game, but the pace that he played at, and his playcalling, some of the plays that he called were great. We obviously have to rely on him, so I’m definitely looking forward to Marcus leading this team in that role.' - Jaylen Brown, January 2021

The team plays better without Irving.

We are better defensively, and the ball moves more.

Thank goodness, thought this was gonna be another "no Kyrie = better" thread. But I think it will end that way.
