Jacque Vaughn said keeping Portland out of the paint was a main emphasis today.
Portland took 11 threes and made just one trip to the free-throw line in the 1st quarter. – 3:38 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Nets 31, Blazers 24: end of first quarter. 8 points, 1 assist for @Anfernee Simons. 5 points, 2 assists for @Jerami Grant. POR shooting 41 percent, BKN 57 percent. – 3:37 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
End of the first quarter: Nets lead the Blazers 31-24. Durant and Curry with nine apiece. Every Net who has played has scored, except Joe Harris, who checked in with a minute left in the quarter. Outscoring the Blazers in the paint by 10. – 3:37 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I’m watching Nets-Blazers. I know it’s Nets-Blazers, but at least twice in the first quarter I’ve looked up and thought it was Nets-Raptors. – 3:35 PM
Erik Slater @erikslater_
Seth Curry 3/4 from three in the 1st quarter. – 3:34 PM

Duke and Purdue tipping off here in the finals of the PK85 Legacy bracket. Last day here in Portland. Really good test for the many Duke freshmen pic.twitter.com/ZsdJBeSKxH3:34 PM

Erik Slater @erikslater_
KD clearly frustrated with Ben Simmons about a miscommunication on a pick and roll that led to a dunk. – 3:33 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
The Nets broadcast just showed Jacque Vaughn all fired up during pregame media availability. That was pretty cool. That sort of energy can transfer over and get a team going. – 3:31 PM

Day’Ron Sharpe went to the @amplehills factory to help develop the Nets’ 10th anniversary flavor. Very wholesome content they’re showing at Barclays right now. – 3:29 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Nets lead the Blazers 24-20 with 2:45 left in the first quarter. Seth Curry has hit both 3s off the bench. – 3:28 PM
Erik Slater @erikslater_
Edmond Sumner in the game out of the timeout. – 3:21 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Edmond Sumner is your sixth man tonight. – 3:21 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Blazers lead the Nets 13-10 with 6:53 left in the first quarter. Blazers start 4-for-9 from the field and 3-for-7 from 3. Nets missed their first two triples. – 3:18 PM
John Schuhmann @johnschuhmann
Somebody else (like the BKN PA guy) has probably figured this out before, but it just dawned on me that the Nets have 2 guys whose first name rhymes with their uniform number.
7 – Kevin
10 – Ben

Simmons, Irving, Durant, O’Neale and Claxton start for Brooklyn. The #Nets won’t face Damian Lillard – missing his fourth straight – but have they learned their lesson about not looking past shorthanded foes? #trailblazers2:55 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Greetings from Barclays. Nets-Blazers tips shortly. Another game in which the Nets don’t face the opponent’s best player. Dame Lillard is out. Recent history has shown that only means so much. First game of an eight-game stand. Can Nets start it off with a W? – 2:53 PM

Clippers announce that Luke Kennard and Paul George will not be on Portland-Utah trip.
Kawhi Leonard TBD, but it’s a back to back, so you know he won’t play both. – 2:14 PM

Please put Mills in for the sake of the +14 lol – 2:13 PM

Blazers say Drew Eubanks is available tonight in Brooklyn after missing the Knicks game with back spasms. – 1:46 PM
Erik Slater @erikslater_
Jacque Vaughn said he hopes to see Yuta Watanabe and T.J. Warren back on the floor this week.
“We’re trending in that direction. Neither one has had a setback, and so they’re still progressing. So hopefully that does happen.” – 1:40 PM
Erik Slater @erikslater_
Asked Jacque Vaughn about Nets miscommunications on screens against Indiana:
“There’s too many possessions where it has been, ‘Hey Nic Claxton, go guard (Anfernee) Simons, go guard Haliburton, and then the rest of us are gonna chill over here.’ Too many possessions that way.” – 1:35 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Both @Justise Winslow (ankle) and @Drew Eubanks (back) are available to play this afternoon versus Nets – 1:33 PM
Adam Wexler @AdamJWexler
Major change in #Texans early offensive output from last week (Mills) & this week (Allen).
Last week: 1st 8 plays, 5 yards
This week: 1st 8 plays, 3 yards – 1:31 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Asked if we see Yuta Watanabe or T.J. Warren this week, Jacque Vaughn said, “We’re trending that way.” Both are progressing without setbacks. – 1:19 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Jacque Vaughn said hopefully trending toward Yuta Watanabe & TJ Warren this week. #Nets1:19 PM

Kind of a wild stat: Trae Young has finished 258 possessions in pick-and-roll. That’s more than all Mavericks (240), Nets (242) and Kings (253) ball-handlers combined. pic.twitter.com/FwpFJrlrc11:09 PM

T.J. Warren, who is targeting a Friday return per @Shams Charania, is getting some shots up with Kyrie Irving three hours before tipoff against the Blazers. – 12:00 PM

We’re celebrating 10 years in Brooklyn this season, so naturally, we had to ask the guys to describe themselves at 10. pic.twitter.com/XApVLhwbhn12:00 PM

Nets say David Duke Jr. is out today was a non-Covid illness. – 11:49 AM

Yuta Watanabe officially *inactive today vs. Portland.
David Duke Jr. (Non-Covid illness) the only other Net on the injury report. – 11:44 AM

Erik Slater @erikslater_
T.J. Warren is known for his shot creation, but he was very effective as a cutter and spot-up shooter with Indiana.
Shot 42.1 percent on catch and shoot threes over his last two seasons.
Really nice fit next to KD and Kyrie if that version shows up. – 11:25 AM
