Brian Lewis: Kyrie Irving: “The low-hanging fruit that we could honestly all agree on is sometimes in possessions we’re not playing hard enough. You saw it against Miami the other night. They were really physical and we don’t want that to be our stigma or M.O. in the league.” #Nets

Kyrie on where Nets can improve through 2 games:
“Just not playing hard enough. You saw it against Miami the other night, they were really physical, and we don’t want that to be our stigma or MO in the league. The most physical teams usually win games. So we gotta be tougher.” – 2:01 PM

Kyrie Irving, who is now the father of two sons, said there was a chance he’d have to leave Monday’s preseason game if his wife was in labor. Said they had a good plan in place but it never came to that. – 1:57 PM

Kyrie was back at practice today after he and his wife welcomed a new baby on Tuesday. He had a big smile on his face while describing what he’s been doing the last few days.
“My wife is a warrior … women are everything.” – 1:48 PM

Kyrie Irving said he cooked for his wife after she gave birth, which prompted this exchange:
Me: “You cook?”
KY: “Of course!”
Me: “What’s the go-to meal?”
KY: “Stop. Why you gon do that?”
Me: “I gotta know”
KY: “I can’t cook?”
Me: “You have a chef”
KY: “I’m a survivalist” – 1:47 PM

Nash didn’t like the looks from 3. Nets shot 5-for-28 from deep. Adds they were without three of their top marksmen in Harris, Irving and Curry, but still thought they could have generated better looks. Nash said Harris was sore today and hopes “it resolves soon.” – 10:06 PM

Halftime: Heat 61, Nets 43
Nets missing Kyrie Irving (paternity leave) and Joe Harris (ankle precaution), but against a solid Heat defense, Brooklyn’s offense has struggled. KD has 18 on 6/7 FG but no other Net has more than 6.
Nets have 6 assists. Miami has 19. 12 TO’s for BKN – 8:50 PM

Kyrie Irving, seated on the baseline, is in the house. The #Nets offense, however, is absent. Brooklyn just 4-of-14 from deep and trailing 45-29. – 8:23 PM

The Heat have opened a 17-point lead in Brooklyn early in the second quarter. Nets playing without Harris, Curry and Kyrie, and they just don’t really have any other way to win without shooting on the floor. – 8:20 PM

Nets have taken a 12-6 lead over the Heat at the first timeout at the 6:59 mark of the first quarter. Nets are night-and-day more locked in defensively than they were against the Sixers.
Part of that is attributed to Royce/Kess starting with Irving/Harris OUT. – 7:48 PM
