Israeli Deni Avdija on Kyrie: “You can think whatever you want, do whatever you want. I just don’t think its right to go out in public & publish it and let little kids see it and generations come after to think like that, because it’s not true. And I don’t think it’s fair.” #nets – 11:57 PM

The Nets dismantled the Wizards 128-86 Friday night at Capital One Arena.
The 42-point victory is tied for the largest road win in franchise history and brings a much-needed morale boost off the heels of Kyrie Irving’s suspension. clutchpoints.com/nets-news-broo… – 11:52 PM

The week-long drama surrounding Kyrie Irving’s antisemitic posts came to a head Thursday with a suspension.
And after the Nets refused a long-term commitment to Irving this summer, the opening weeks of the season closed the door on his future in Brooklyn. clutchpoints.com/why-kyrie-irvi… – 11:16 PM

Really nice response from Brooklyn to close the half after Washington cut it to two.
They lead 69-57 at the half after an 11-0 run. – 8:07 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Solid half for the undermanned Nets. They lead 69-57 after a KD just before the buzzer. KD has 19, O’Neale has 13 — and the Nets are shooting 55.3 percent from the field and 9/16 from beyond the arc. – 8:07 PM

Morris misses the layup on one end, but hustles his 33-year-old legs back at a dead sprint to get in position and help Patty Mills force that turnover. That leads to the fast break bucket on the other end. That’s the kind of winning play the #Nets need more of. – 7:48 PM
