James Harden on scoring vs distribute with no Kyrie: “Honestly, I’m trying to figure all that out right now… when to score, be a playmaker, run offense, to do a bit of everything. It’s been a little difficult especially since – from whatever – but it’s been a little difficult.” – 10:31 PM

It’s obviously early in the season, and they’ve had some injuries, but the Nets have had three shots at Milwaukee, Golden State and Phoenix, and despite the final score tonight have been pretty thoroughly outplayed in all three of them. – 10:20 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Devin Booker said the Suns as a team were yelling “First Team!” for Mikal Bridges, as in First Team All-Defense. – 10:16 PM

DeAndre’ Bembry on James Harden,
“He see’s the game better than a lot of players.” – 10:12 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
James Harden on finding that balance: “I’m just trying to figure it out. It’s been a little difficult, especially since – well, whatever – but it’s been a little difficult. But I’m trying to figure it out.” Make up your own mind on ‘whatever’ is. #Nets #NBA – 10:11 PM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
James Harden finished with 12 pts, 14 assists, 13 rebs, 7 TOs. He shot 4-for-15, 0-6 from 3. The 26.6% is 4th-lowest percentage he’s shot in a triple-double. Harden admits he is trying to figure out when to distribute vs score with no Kyrie and it’s been difficult at times. – 10:10 PM

James Harden on finding the balance between scoring and facilitating: “Honestly, I’m trying to figure all that out right now, trying to figure out when when to score when to be a playmaker…” #Nets – 10:09 PM

I asked James Harden how he’s approaching passing vs shooting with Kyrie Irving no longer in the lineup: “I’m still trying to figure that out,” he said. – 10:08 PM

Final: Suns beat the Nets 113-107. Weird game. Phoenix looked in control for most of the game until they didn’t. But Nets bug themselves too deep of a hole. DeAndre’ Bembry played great. Kevin Durant did, too. James Harden struggled. Another loss to a contender. – 9:49 PM

Kevin Durant (39 PTS, 8 REBS, 6 ASTS), LaMarcus Aldridge (18 PTS) & the Nets fought, but it wasn’t enough. Phoenix’s depth outmatched Brooklyn’s depth by far and it’s games like this that show the Nets need to be healthy to be taken seriously. – 9:48 PM

DeAndre’ Bembry surprisingly picking up some of the offensive slack tonight with 18 points and 9-for-11 shooting to go with 9 rebounds. He’s been all over the court making plays on both ends of the floor. Nets making a late run at Suns, within 106-96 with 4:54 left. – 9:35 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Suns’ offense stalled for 2 minutes so they tried to go to DA on back-to-back possessions to exploit the switching but that didn’t work either. Nets get runouts off both possessions. 10-point game. – 9:35 PM

The deficit has been cut to 10 with 4:54 left in the quarter, it’s not over for the Nets 👀 – 9:34 PM

DeAndre Bembry should get MVP chants next. He and Kevin Durant have powered the Nets to a respectable game here down the stretch. Bembry is up to 18 points and 9 rebounds. #Nets – 9:34 PM

End of 3rd QTR: Nets 72, Suns 90
Kevin Durant (24 PTS, 7 REBS) , LaMarcus Aldridge (18 PTS, 6 REBS) and the Nets are getting humiliated. Phoenix has taken 17 more shots than Brooklyn and the bench still hasn’t stepped up. It’s not over yet though. – 9:12 PM

James Harden gets a breather in the third and it has already been quite the roller-coaster game for Harden. He has 13 assists and 10 rebounds. But he also has six turnovers, has missed 9-of-10 shots and only has four points. – 9:03 PM

Kevin Durant (12 PTS, 4 REBS), DeAndre’ Bembry (10 PTS) & the Nets are recovering well after from a slow start. Though, the job is not finished. Brooklyn’s bench has to step up, scoring only 6 points is not going to help their case. – 8:40 PM

Halftime: Suns lead the Nets 56-46. Impressive the Nets were able to get it down to 10 after trailing by 20. DeAndre’ Bembry is the first half MVP. He’s been big on both ends of the floor. Aldridge has eight and five KD’s got 12. – 8:33 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Suns take a 56-46 lead over the Nets into halftime. Nets woke up from the itis midway through the 2nd quarter, but against elite teams, this is way too much rope. Kevin Durant and DeAndre’ Bembry stood out during BKN’s 13-0 run, but 15 turnovers have crushed the Nets so far. – 8:33 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
The Nets are honestly lucky to only be down 14 the way they played. Suns lead, 34-20, after a hot quarter for Devin Booker, who has 16 points on 5/9 FG. Nets shooting just 14.3% from downtown, generally a marker for how they perform in a game. 3 more quarters, but ugly to start. – 8:06 PM
