Are the Nets better off without Kyrie? Would a loss actually help the Eagles? Should the Lakers trade picks for help now? & more! Guests: @GregJennings @EddieHouse_50 @OldenPolynice1

the nets now have the 11th best defense this season. – 9:43 AM

Jaylen Brown on Ime Udoka not getting Nets job: “I think the Brooklyn Nets have a lot more going on right now with the Kyrie Irving situation, which everyone is monitoring. I think that’s probably what hindered him getting that spot. But shoutout to Jake Vaughn — is it Jacque?” pic.twitter.com/uRDFul8rov10:54 PM

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Simmons just looks so uncomfortable around the rim. As well as the Nets have played at times in the last few games — the Simmons issue hangs over everything just like the uncertainty around Kyrie. – 9:33 PM
Erik Slater @erikslater_
This Nets team plays with a completely different energy and hustle for Jacque Vaughn as compared to Steve Nash.
And I will say: I think the team being free of the Kyrie Irving media circus for an extended period has contributed greatly. – 9:03 PM
Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
I know Boston fans debated this — Nets better without Kyrie?
Obviously his talent says no but there are other things to consider like defense. – 8:49 PM

As a pre-recorded video plays pregame with players introducing themselves and where they went to school — some boos are noticeable as Kyrie appears on the screen. There were a few cheers, there were more boos. – 7:20 PM

When (if?) Kyrie is reactivated, I was hoping the Nets’s head coach would be David Blatt… – 6:51 PM

Sean Marks says he has not spoken with Kyrie directly since announcing his suspension:
“On the Kyrie front, when we have news to share and updates, we will do so at the appropriate time. As of now there is nothing to share.” pic.twitter.com/n1QjKRMwCf6:30 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Vaughn, like Sean Marks, says he hasn’t spoken to Kyrie Irving. Said he was just focused on doing the immediate task of coaching the team, but said he could try to reach out now that he’s been named the coach on a full-time basis. – 5:50 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Jacque Vaughn said he has not talked to Kyrie Irving. Wasn’t sure it was his place given the uncertainty he had as interim coach. Adds that could change now that’s he’s got the full-time gig. – 5:50 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Jacque Vaughn still hasn’t talked to Kyrie Irving. Thought, as an assistant, it was outside his “boundaries.” That could change now. #Nets5:50 PM
