Nets v Nuggets 3/12

[gigantes]

Claxton deserves a shout as well. He did a yeoman's job tonight.

It is just staring to sink in now...we just beat a full strength top team in the west on the road.

Oh, don't worry!
Nets fans gonna be bitching & moaning about something or other, soon enough.

Seriously-- I've never seen a bigger bag of arseholes than this nonstop numbskull brigade, constantly tearing down our wins, constantly picking apart this or that, never happy with anything in regards to BRK.

[ArksNetsSince99]

I don't get this whole nobody is going to sign with the Nets angle. Players will sign where they can get paid. If the Nets paid Kyrie he'd still be here.

The same star free agent can be paid by several other teams , if it’s let’s say 4/200 , some so called stars can have troubles to find owners willing to spend ( Kyrie , Harden) if it’s let’s say Giannis or Jokic or Luka caliber players , they get to choose where to play and they don’t loose any sleep about if they get paid

There is other 29 Tsais in this league

[Eatgreenz]

Another thing with Brown is his dating this ig model Bernice from New York, she might be able to influence him to leave Boston and be closer to her. Its a possibility.

Isn’t she too old for him ?

No way 42 y old can influence 26 y old single millionaire to move in with her

You would be surprised especially if she has him sprung.

He’s dating Bernice Burgos!? Wow she gets passed around more than a basketball with Jokic handling. I see why he’s fallen off as a starter.

Yea thats why im not that consider of him not wanting to play here because of comments about Tsai. Wouldnt expect somebody with those comments about Tsai to be going after Bernice.

[Marvin Martian]

Bro what are you talking about.

LeBron signed with Dan Gilbert for **** sake.

You think Brown wouldn't sign here because of one disagreement over a Kyrie suspension?

It is not even close to relevant.

Nets are still easily a top tier free agent destination. NYC, rich owner, practice facility actually in NYC (unlike the Knicks).

Tsai gave KD/Kyrie everything they wanted. Players are not idiots. Theyre not going to blame the owner for Kyrie's antics.

Watch what hes already doing in Dallas.

Yes I think Brown would never sign with Tsai from his own free will

Yes Nets have prob top in the League training facility, fairly new arena ( either though it doesn’t look that nice from an Inside , player’s quarters , coaches quarters they looked like they been build in 70 s , parking garage is a nightmare, wait time for vehicles elevators is forever , and main turning ring can’t fit more than 6/7 vehicles at one time so basically impossible to drive your own vehicle to the game as a player or staff member and if you do is very limited space

Yes they not gonna blame Tsai for Kyrie antics for sure , but Tsai isn’t blameless himself

I don’t see it , you do and it’s fine , we find out in near future

yea but stars want to play with other stars and Bridges is making a strong case that he can be that 2nd star on this team. Along with Claxton and others and a bunch of picks, our future looks very bright. This is the same reason how we got Kyrie and KD in the first place. A team full of very good young role players ( Allen, Levert, Dinwiddie, Joe Harris etc..) along with our own picks. Bring in Kyrie/KD and eventually trade for a 3rd star which ended up being Harden. We're on a perfect track right now that we have some really nice building core pieces in Bridges and Claxton. We will be back to where we was

Stars want to play with Superstars. Bridges is not even an all star yet. Who is running to come and play with him? We got Ky because Nets was his favorite team (which is basically luck) and KD wanted to play with Ky. Same with Harden. Bridges is nowhere near Ky in terms of being a superstar let alone a star. He has no brand, no signature shoe, no superstar friends, nothing.

We cannot compete in FA. The only way we can acquire a star is through a trade, and it has to be one whose stock is down.

Ok , but do you see Brown as a clear no1 even if he decides to come here ? He is great player but I hardly see him as no1

What clear #1 do you see us having a chance to get? I think Brown can definitely be a clear #1, even if not him and Bridges and Claxton would be force to be reckoned with on offense and defense. Spurs didn't have a clear #1 when they won 2 chips with Kawhi, they played great as a TEAM. Tatum is a FA in 2025 too.

[NetsJets]

Bridges is steadily becoming one of my favorite Nets ever. I love his game. Dinwiddie was playmaking, Claxton balled out, the keys were definitely Royce and DFS. This team is looking like how I expected them to look. We are a elite scorer away from being a legit contender.

[KnixtapeH20]

Yall keeping that 5th seed warm for us respect

Where my homes at

Great win against Denver... That was impressive.. I feel dirty

Lol Warm? You haven’t even sniffed the 2nd, 3rd or 4th seed all season long and still won’t, my man.

Congratulations on beating a terrible Lakers team without LeBron. I’ll be impressed when the Nuggets run the Knicks out of the Garden by next week per usual.

Haha was getting pretty damn close to the 4 seed until this terrible 3 game skid w.o Brunson. I'll take any win we can get no matter how ugly a win is a win especially w.o our floor general. Lakers beat a ton of teams w.o LeBron - warriors, Memphis w.o Ja, Toronto. AD is still AD plus russ makes them a completely different team.

Brun should be back for the Nuggets game. Team is completely different when he's healthy. Should be a fun game

Facts she a baddie. Someone mentioned she gets passed around lol its the other way around. She got it like that

She got that boy wrapped around her pretty little finger

Glad to see u able to enjoy ball again MDB

It's a roller coaster

He has no brand, no signature shoe, no superstar friends, nothing.

We cannot compete in FA. The only way we can acquire a star is through a trade, and it has to be one whose stock is down.

Ok let's look around the league at the superstars for a sec. Nuggets have a superstar in Jokic but they're pretty much set with their core so nobody is going there. Same exact thing with the Bucks, they're hard taxed and stuck with their core for years. The Mavs don't know what they're doing over there and only a desperate kyrie would want to go there. Sixers are in lingo with James harden coming back or not but if he does they're out of the FA race. Suns is stuck until CP3 retires. Lakers is old and fragile. Grizzlies are the most hated team and they have their core and their own issues. Celtics have 2 stars but I can see one leaving. Clippers are tricky because Kawhi and PG13 can opt out the same time and they're brining in a new stadium so they might be competition there. Are there any other "superstar" players teams I've missed? Legit superstars, not Karl Anthony Towns or Trae Youngs. I think we're in a great spot

So you think the players we already had here had no say in kyrie and kD coming here? or the culture we've built back then? I don't remember Levert, Dinwiddie or Allen having a brand or signature shoe. We have a bunch of guys that plays hard and do the dirty work. What star player wouldn't want to play along with that

[sashaturiaf]

Claxton deserves a shout as well. He did a yeoman's job tonight.

It is just staring to sink in now...we just beat a full strength top team in the west on the road.

you see the contested jumper he made in the third (or fourth)?

Claxton game just keeps growing. If he can keep it up he will have a long career in the NBA.

Clax is a keeper, him and Mikal are off limits IMO. They both have the talent and mentality to be great.

3 picks for either of those guys? Nah I'll pass on that. It's rare finding guys with size who can play both ends, and come back a better player each passing season.

I’ve been to long Nets fan to continue believing in free agent signings , over last quarter century we been fortunate twice to sign or trade for premier free agents

First time because Kidd decided to smack his wife around and we was fortunate that he needed to be traded out of Phoenix

Second time because Kyrie childhood dream was playing for the Nets and he dragged KD into this idea and subsequently Harden

That’s it , and with all due respect we’re not Spurs nor we have culture anywhere close to theirs , or their coaching staff or their front office

You know when Timmy Duncan hit his free agency , without any pressure Pop and FO actually gave him green light and time to think about it , but they talked almost like father and son about their team direction, about what they wanted to achieve together , we have this here ? This kind of relations ? Mutual understanding?

We don’t, if we had a fraction of Spurs culture here it would never become to this point that three stars demands a trade within few months

Players often follows their favorite coaches, staff members , if we have Udoka , yes I can see it Brown or maybe even Tatum coming here in the future

Who’s gonna want to join Genocide Joe , IDGAF Marks or Vaughn ?

Mikal is amazing, hope he retires as a Net and have long and healthy career with us , by far easiest Net to root for in a long long time

You are right. They didn't. That is why KD traded all of them for James Harden a few games into the season.

KD and Ky never gave a **** about the culture that was built. Why? Because they intended to tear it down. Everything from the coach to the players.

The only chance we have at building a long lasting championship team is not trying to chase for a number one, but to trade for a number 2 or 3 and build them up to be stars and real leaders for the franchise. Bridges is a good first step. Trae Young or Zach Lavine should be the next plan.

Who’s gonna want to join Genocide Joe , IDGAF Marks or Vaughn ?

What about the time when we got Dwill, I think we all was ecstatic to have Dwill especially when he exploded for that 58 point game in NJ. Then we bought in Joe Johnson, that was definitely an exciting time for the Nets. But Dwill unexpectedly fell off a cliff, nobody seen that coming.

The point I was making with the Spurs was that there was not a clear cut #1 player on that team, Kawhi was still a baby and the Spurs big 3 were dinosaurs at that time but they all had played as a team and got it done. No ofcourse we're not on the Spurs level as of culture but no team is except the Warriors. Don't forget Sean marks came from that Spurs cloth and so did Vaughn so there's a start. Remember before we got Kyrie and KD all we kept hearing was about how great the Nets culture was and how we somehow made a 180 as a franchise from those Billy King days.

You guys have to forget about the stars demanding trades, this was mostly Kyries fault and this new generation of players are much different than the OGs. I think alot of ppl around the league realize Kyrie is a weirdo, I mean 4 different franchises for a super star player screams red flags. Marks gave the stars the stars the keys and they ruined it.

I think ya'll should think positive, we're on the right track we just have to stay on the right path. We've done it before and we can do it again. Like I said Kyrie and KD both saw the culture Nets build here and all the assets they had before coming here. If not then they could of easily signed anywhere else. If we hadn't have a little core and culture here they wouldn't of signed no matter how much Kyrie dreamed of playing for his favorite childhood team. If we get a legit guard we might be something serious. I mean we just beat the top team in the league and almost beat the Bucks without our whole team.

lol what? So they just wanted to come here to waste their time and eventually get traded was their intention? There was no talks of Nets getting Harden before Kyrie and KD got here, that opportunity presented itself during the season and you have to make that trade 10/10 at that time.

I agree with what you said about not chasing for a #1, unless the opportunity presents itself. Trae Young tho? no thank you. He's the worst defender in the league and he can be a bigger hog than Dinwiddie. Zach Lavine I can get jiggy wit but I wouldn't trade every asset or FRP for him, the trade has to be right and not lopsided . Your head is in the right place because that's the route we should be going but we need guys to play on both sides so their is no holes, and guys that plays hard and buys in.

[Minnamaker]

Most fans don't agree, but I think Lavine would be a good fit. He is the kind of scorer we need and with the defensive talent we have, it could work on the defensive side, too. At least, he is big enough. The price matters though.

It's a roller coaster

yeah i enjoyed it. There's some things that the team needs to clean up as a group but overall I was impressed, this was a solid win against a top club. Way different vibe from what I saw two weeks or so ago.
