  • Again coach Vaughn deserves some serious props. When Brooklyn coughed up that lead in the second quarter when Nikola came back, Vaughn called two quick timeouts and let his team know their quality of defense was nowhere near the level it should be at. Then in the second half coach Vaughn and the team came up with a great strategy which was double team Nikola which allowed Brooklyn to get some crucial defensive stops to eventually take an important lead. Again coach Vaughn is showing his versatility as a strategist and the team is buying into it.
  • Kevin Durant is right when he said " This young Nets team has a bright future ahead of them"💜

    Excellent job to the entire Nets team. This is how you win the playoffs by winning this type of close games. Nets defense gets an A against a very tough Nuggets team.
  • i love this nets line-up. no superstar but full of talented roll players. underrated team to watch this coming playoffs.
  • @BoneRazrK
    Good win by the Nets. Keep this team together!
  • Mikal Bridges meanwhile keeps delivering offense exceptional defense and really helping the team improve their communication on the court. Mikal Bridges is definitely a foundational piece for Brooklyn new era and someone who truly cares about competing on a high level.
  • Nic Claxton and Spencer dinwiddie as a duo really took a big step in their chemistry together. Spencer threw out some big lobs to Claxton who took advantage and got some important buckets. Claxton finished with a great 18+ point effort and getting him involved in the offense more will only improve Brooklyn offensive flow. Meanwhile Spencer dinwiddie threw out a career high in assists and is finding ways to get his teammates involved more on offense. 🔥
  • @CoachDarren
    These Nets are fun to watch and their only going to get better.
  • The Nets played very good defense beginning to end and really got the best of that one.
  • Nets are looking like they might've actually won the KD trade, who would've thought 🤔
  • Bridges has been putting up all star numbers since coming in Brooklyn and get over 20% usage. Definitely a future star
  • @ssgtae2349
    Bridges actually been that dude ..he can ball 🏀
  • Brooklyn's defense was on point in this game against Denver.
  • @khoado123
    This Nets team is actually very good and well balanced. Mikal Bridges is gonna thrive as the number one option like James Harden did when he left OKC. This guy is the perfect 3 and D wing in today basketball. Tall with athletic build who plays elite defense and can shoot and score on his own.
