It’s pretty hard not to be impressed with the teams drastic turnaround since DLo’s return, 3-12, losing 8 straight and 12 out of 13. I’d take Hart or Kuzma and straight up, but we also dumped Mozgov who’s played 13 minutes since New Years. About time for some to admit the brilliance of that trade.
1) Brooklyn lost 6 of their last 7 before Russell came back.
2) He's coming back from knee surgery.
3) He was on a minutes restriction for most of that time. He didn't even play in half of a single game until 4 games ago.
4) He didn't even play in one of those games.
5) Did you apply this same standard to him last year, when the Lakers had a better record with him?
6) Have you watched Kuzma play in the last 2 months?

Bless you for taking the time to respond to this GT. Better man than I lol
1) Brooklyn lost 6 of their last 7 before Russell came back. You’re timeline is a bit selective. The Nets won 4 of the 11 prior to his return, they've won 3 of 15 since his return
2) He's coming back from knee surgery. He’s returning from a procedure that involved only removal of loose bodies from within the knee. That procedure typically requires a rehab of 6-8 weeks. He’s 22 years old and took the full 8 weeks to return. He’s since played an additional five weeks.
3) He was on a minutes restriction for most of that time. He didn't even play in half of a single game until 4 games ago. In their eight straight losses DeAngelo has has averaged 13.3 PPG, 24.5 MPG, .389 shooting, 2.8 TO’s, that’s hardly a bit player.
4) He didn't even play in one of those games.Correct, he didn’t play in one of those games
5) Did you apply this same standard to him last year, when the Lakers had a better record with him? I’ll conceded that with Calderon, Ennis and Huertas playing in his place the Lakers were a worse team, that’s hardly a ringing endorsement
6) Have you watched Kuzma play in the last 2 months? Yes and I attribute that to the long NBA season, not to lack of focus, discipline or preparation as I do with Russell. Kuzma will have a better career because of what he does off the court. I’ll stand by that

You were arguing that the Nets had a drastic turnaround when he returned. They were already playing poorly, having lost 6 of 7. Pointing that out is a selective timeline, but 4 of 11 (thereby omitting them losing 7 of 8 before then) isn't? That's a 5-14 stretch. Its that really all that different than what they've done with him in the lineup (3-11)...with him playing limited minutes in most of those games?
Russell hasn't been a bit player in the last 4 games. Before that, he was.

My statement about their drastic turnaround was sarcasm. They were bad without him and they’re just as bad (possibly worse) with him. You would expect at least some impact from what minutes he got over the past 5 weeks. Instead, what you’re seeing is; as he plays more, they lose more.
Dlo with a solid game, though he didn't shoot the ball well. On a side note, Jarrett Allen looks GOOD for them. This may be a hot take, but he's looking like their best overall prospect right now.
Oh he’s talented I know that, just seems like no matter what stats he puts up no one ever talks about it like they do with other young players, you can call it underappreciated

Allen is pretty bad defensively idk
soon as he shave off that fro its gone improve 1000%
Nets also missed LeVert and RHJ for a stretch during the losing streak. But some are so predictable with their narrative.

LeVert missed 8 out of last 11 games before tonight. Played 12 minutes in the game he got injured. RHJ missed 11 in a row. If you wanna act like you are objective and put the blame on DLo, at least don't swallow these facts. Ignore minutes restriction and everything else, but losing two of their best players will have a big impact on an already mediocre roster. _________________ Showtime 2.0
In talking with players in #Nets locker room, hard to underestimate Caris LeVert and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson’s impact on this team, both on and off the court.

Never said that the Nets aren’t a bad team, they are. What I am saying is that DLo doesn’t make them any better.
Russell started tonight, played 29 minutes and went 2 for 9, but they won anyway. I suppose you may have something there, Hollis-Jefferson may be vital to the teams success, Russell is not.

I didn't watch the game, but you can both go 2-9 and play well. Did you watch it?
Watching Isaiah playing alongside Lonzo is showing me that a DLo and Lonzo backcourt could have worked.
But that's all water under the bridge now, one of either Moz or Deng had to go and DLo was the price. I don't think either team is now unhappy with the trade, both got what they wanted.

Jarrett Allen's last 10 games: 13.2 PTS, 7.5 REB and 1.2 BLK per game in 23.5 MIN with a 68.5 true shooting %. Perfect rim runner/roller in Brooklyn's 4-out attack. The long-armed 19-year-old is in a great development situation with the Nets. Steal at 22nd overall.
