Lack of chemistry, lack of confidence and talent. Lack of leadership. Subpar coaching. Absentee ownership.
If we didn’t have some of the best announcers in the business, it would be almost unwatchable at this point.
This is so spot-on, it hurts. We don't gel.
And, i think, the little grit and determination we do organically show, our coaches and front office discourage. The players don't understand the purpose of this roster construction, they don't know if they're part of the core or out the door.
And seriously, don't underestimate the vibe killing effect on the players that ***the Koch family becoming minority owners*** has on the team. If we thought our ability to recruit free agents was horrible after this season, just wait until they take the reins.
I'm quitting this franchise if Joe sells a piece of us to them. I've been through tons of highs and lows with the Nets over the last 30 years, and I'll endure 30 more God willing. But this would be the final straw.
