I would go get Kenny Atkinson, who is currently the lead assistant on the Warriors roster and previously the Nets coach.

I knew Maxey was shooting well but I didn't realize how well.  I just saw that he's currently 5th in the league in 3pt% 

Not for nothing but I see that Eric Gordon is still an efficient shooter.  I wonder if he wants to reunite with Morey? 

 

Anyone else notice Buddy beating guys off the bounce last night. Everyone thought he was a spot up shooter, but not playing for the worst franchise in the NBA has energized him. 

Just saw this article about him. 

Asissts up to 5 a game from 1.6, attempting triple the rate if pull up 2 jumpers, and passing out the pick and roll at more than twice the rate. 

Morey should have given up that extra 1st for him and Fox/Haliburton

They were never willing to trade Fox, otherwise it would have been a done deal. But Hield, Haliburton, and Barnes should have been accepted. Morey Fd up.

Assuming we'd only give up Tobi and Ben, with Hali and Barnes on board along with Niang, Seth and Maxey that's FIVE guys in the top 30 in the NBA in 3pt% to surround Joel.  That seems like a team right out of the Morey/ D'Antoni playbook.  The defense and rebounding wouldn't be great but we'd put up 120+ points with ease.

yep. Would have been better. Also would still have Drummond.

Then in summer you trade the Barnes expiring, with Simmons also off the books and you have cap room to sign a max baller to add to all of that.

Hopefully It’s juju doesn’t rub off on him and he stops swinging a bat. But at least it’s safe made of Ben Simmons bricks 

Evidently Tisse is not fully vaxed and cannot play in Toronto.

what an idiot. 

I watched the 4thQ of the Nets @ NYK game on ESPN and Ben was looking extra d00shy on the bench tonight.

So I guess the Sixers are guaranteed at least the three seed if they can manage to win these last three games… should st least keep them from seeing Toronto round 1 so Thybulle’s vax status shouldn’t hurt us there. 

How will we ever replace Mattisse’s 5.8 ppg as a starter? His 3 point shooting will be missed!

Considering he’s the only guy we have who can defend the perimeter, I’d say it matters.

It's Moorestown in South Jersey. Not to be confused with Morristown in North Jersey. It's a 30 minute drive without traffic. Maybe 60 min during rush hour for 9-to-5ers...but athletes aren't doing the 9-to-5.

JJ Redick lived in Brooklyn and would travel back and forth 

This game is about to start.

4 straight 3s to start and now the 5th!

He’s an f’n all-star!

That will end Paul Reed’s night 😂

Paul Reed... not great.
