[The Great One]

Nets are down to 8 players.. no harden...we even gonna play?

No I don't think you're going to play.

What a farce.

for some reason i like our chances even if Durant is a go.. Feels like this could be a first big signature win of the season to solidify the locker room that they are a sure fire playoff team and live dog come playoffs.

[Gonzz]

Keep it going Jclaw. 2 game win streak and counting. Win tonight and we are off till Saturday. Plenty of time to get someone back, fingers crossed.We will need all hands on deck agaist Golden State.

[SkywalkerAC]

Great test even if they're shorthanded. Can't wait to see how we stack up.

[Bendit]

Nurse is working on a strategy to triple team Harden.

[GOLDBLUM]

Banton out. Non-covid illness...

Durant questionable.

If he can't go there down to 9 players. (8 is the minimum.)

Four Nets Players Enter Health And Safety Protocols


December 14th, 2021 at 9:58am CST by Luke Adams

Four Nets players have joined forward Paul Millsap in the health and safety protocols, the team announced this morning. As Ian Begley of SNY.tv relays (via Twitter), LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre’ Bembry, Jevon Carter, and James Johnson have all entered the protocols and have been ruled out for Tuesday’s game vs. Toronto.

LOL. But the rest of the team is all good! "Health and safety" protocols, y'all!

[DanH]

Game day! Much tougher game, obviously. Let's see if our newfound defence (3rd in the NBA over the last 6 games) can hold up against a much better team.

The starters are rested after not playing a much last night, would be a great game to win going onto our little break with the Chicago game cancelled. Then we can rest and practice up for Golden state on Saturday on the second game of a back to back.

Lets hope the Raps mail it in in a similar fashion!!! Great job, go raps!

[Jclaw]

Is he talking about Covid?
Or.....hear me out..
Is he talking about the glory days way back in late October?
That was the last time your Raptors were this sizzlin'

Yes, after a team meeting inducing blitz of the Kings,
the Raps have now won four of the last five.
I would not have guessed.
That must have been what Freddie was talking about.

But probably not.

Yes, that long shadow of Covid is making itself known again.
Aside from the usual gong show of Kyrie, the Nets also have the erstwhile imagined Raptor Paul Milsap in protocol.
We come in still missing Precious with the same.

Whatever happens tonight, the next game is on hold with the in precautions Bulls

There are rumblings about going back to empty stadiums

So, the message isn't necessarily doom in gloom.
It's just that we should appreciate every game we get these days.

Even if it's a back to back against the Easter Conference leading Brooklyn Nets

Because, KD already shot his load in his last game, right?

He wouldn't have any reason to want to show up us Raps, right?

EDIT #2 (chronologically)
***A(NOTHER) UPDATE***

Where have I heard that before?

Those Nets are feeling fine about themselves these days, having won 9 of their last 12
And they're not exactly at full strength.
To put it in context, for their last game, two fifths of their starting five were James Johnson and Alan Bembry
Welcome back guys. Looking forward to the montage

EDIT
***AN UPDATE***

Hold the Montage.

I would have liked to have seen a fair fight with both teams at full strength but that will have to wait for another day.

All I can say is that I hope the Raps put it a bit more of an effort on this back to back than this poster did.
Mailing it in a bit but hey,
Fred only played 26 minutes last night.
I watched all 48.

Speaking of appreciating things and of Fred....

Let's appreciate Fred.


And speaking of Brooklyn and of people missing the game because of Covid...

Go Raps
