It's been three games in and so far:

1st game: We got destroyed

2nd game: Close game, won by a Royce game winner

3rd game: Close for the most part, but we lost by ten


Have you enjoyed yourself, or have you found yourself highly entertained during any of these games?


I have to be brutally honest. Last night vs Memphis I found myself questioning why I was continuing to watch, and i ended up turning the game off early because the game was making me miserable. Felt that way in the season opener, and the Raptors game I found myself to be annoyed.

I dunno if its the mix of horrible coaching and what transpired last season and over the summer, but this team has me feeling like following them is more of a chore than an enjoyable escape.

No I am not. Can only speak for me, but I can't as a fan or a person go through what i went through with this roster and organizational response to be like nothing happened.

The dynamic of Kyrie and Durant isn't what its worth. KD's spotlight wouldn't have existed if it weren't for Kyrie's negative influence and by Nash's incompetency. He's a great player and hasn't done anything to lose that image. He has his faults and weaknesses sure.

Looking at the roster, there isn't much for me to cheer on. No youth players are worth my attention, no young players are played(sharpe is by default). I truly only like Royce, who's been here for 2 mintues, Claxton and... yea that's it.

I ain't behind the rest of these clowns. Even I can get "wth KD" at times... Kyrie is a leper in a black hole for me, Ben... talks and that's it. Sorry but I'm done with joe Harris, call me a bad guy there, Never really hooray for Seth, Claxton working his butt off so its ok, Cam Thomas ain't doing sh*t and won't grow learning behind KD, KY n Nash, nothing else for me to really be cheering on.

This ain't a team, it's an assembly of individual players playing a system for individuality, no cohesion, no kill for one another vibes. Compromising offense that's blatantly on the core of talent alone, so if someone goes down, there's no next man up cuz there aint a system to keep the boat afloat. Defense is never happening under these players and coaches. No fighters wearing my Nets jerseys, such divas who play for themselves. No direction anymore after the deconstructing of the Brooklyn Grit, it's serve Kevin's wants, tolerate Kyrie and his cancerous spew, Ben is Ben.... throw in that the Franchise misleading of what's going on via health, injuries or promises last season was a clear direct manipulation of the fanbase to keep buying and buying rather than face the truth. We were led lies.

Playoff performances by quitters was an embarrassment, enough said there.

Steve Nash, bless his kind soul, is a horrible coach who's been giving more slack on the leash as the games progress, he's done nothing to deserve this protective shell. The basketball play of Brooklyn is weak AF and only serves to the interest of KD n Kyrie. We don't practice hard enough anymore for them, we don't really employ team basketball concepts, we don't execute anything consistently and we lack desire to win for Brooklyn.

Future is bleak, no picks to have, gave away guys who cared and played hard, constant changing, why stick to a face when you know they're out.

Gimme a reason to root for them.

I expected offensive struggles with Ben + Clax on the floor. I expected growing pains. I don't understand how a lineup with O'Neal + Simmons + KD + Claxton can be FAR AWAY the worst defense in the league.

I also don't understand how an offense ran by Igor Kokoskov can be so clunky. There were a few possessions in the 3rd quarter where Ben was playing PG. It literally looked like an LA Fitness game where you gave it to the athletic guy who has no idea how to play ball and he was trying to figure out how to 'run the offense'.

Still, Kyrie + KD are annoying humans but they're playing hard. Claxton is progressing. I still see the potential in the team but Marks has to move fast to cover the weaknesses here.


Also, why is Ben constantly picking up his dribble at the three point line? Are they not watching tape of this stuff?

The thing is this not igors fault this is the player nash decides to put in to try to execute what igor is trying to implement.nash strays away and goes on his random make up playbook,even the players look lost because they have no direction which is why you see players bumping into eachother etc etc

Fun is being excited even if the team is losing. The answer here is NO, this team has no SOUL...

And now Kyrie comes out as an antisemite.

I'm done. These guys, Kyrie, KD, Marks, and Nash have done what no other people could have done, they've killed my love for watching and rooting for this team.

Well, Dems started investigating money in sports to get votes. It was given that crap like this will come out at some point. It's just Kyrie doing Kyrie thing.

C'mon man you really wasn't expecting Kyrie do something like this? Me, you and several others said it was matter of time before Kyrie will do Kyrie things. Joe will get this fixed and this won't be news in a quick minute. He did same thing with Morey situation, I don't see anyone bringing Taiwan issue when it's reaching its highest peak levels. I mean loot at Pelosi.

We just have to hope Sean and Tsai will use this in their advantage and check Kyrie for as long as they can ( hopefully at least for this season :lol: ). Man he just torpedoed his value to the rock bottom here, certain things just taboo in sports. When you use it on a platform he has, it always brings consequences. I doubt Silver will step in, but he's on the phone with Joe right now trying to figure it out behind closed doors. I hope it's a lot of nothing.

Brooklyn has a huge Jewish population, and the team's sponsors are probably not thrilled either. This is going to become really ugly.

Just blow it up now. we have a pick swap with the Rockets and they equally suck. Time to end this.

I lived on Ovington and 14 Ave for 10+ years. It's right there next to Borough Park, believe me, Jewish community deal with far more worse things on daily basis than what Kyrie like and posted. They won't even know it unless their rabbai will point it out. They live in their own world and we not really human being for them. You know they call none Jewish people " GOY " right. Pretty racist all things considered.

My fun was killed two years ago. Going to that end of season game against the Bulls was the nail in the coffin. I'd never been more upset after a victory than at that game.

I think I subconsciously realized that the soul of the franchise was gone. The team played without effort and made what should've been an easy game difficult, the coaching staff (namely, Nash) always has an excuse as to why they underperform, and Marks's roster construction has been poor, and both Marks and Tsai are responsible for giving a team with championship expectations to a novice who had never coached a game before and is still, 2+ seasons later, a bad coach.

The organization is rotten.

Yep. Everything about this franchise smells like a rotting carcass.

This right here should end it. Ever since we let Kyrie through the door everything that was going well became toxic. I hope that the league comes down like a Warhammer on this situation.

No. Last year was the first year in my 20+ years of fandom that I stopped watching games. I've posted it before, but I watched literally every game of the 12 win Yi Jianlian supershow (shout-out to Stephen Graham(... But last year's team? I just couldn't stomach it.

Same thing with this year's incarnation. I was interested in seeing some of the new pieces (love Royce, love this version of Claxton) but there's something inherently flawed with the way this team plays that makes watching them incredibly disheartening to watch...
