Been watching from the jump... like nothing changes with this team... we are scrubs, this ain't winning no chip.

The change in offensive philosophy is doing more of a disservice than they want to admit and defensively we're **** clowns.. slow stiff ass clowns

It's amazing how spoiled we were during the Atkinson years where, while we didn't have much talent, we got maximum effort every night on both ends. Silly us for expecting that to carry over once were bring in three superstars.

I'm really, really scared to think about "Nets Superstars" not being as super as we were led to believe. This team blows chunks.

The Nets are a first round exit unless we get some personnel changes.

Even before Harden, my most worried concern was max effort on the defensive side...

Hardens acquisition hasn't helped but the coaches are compounding the situation even worse

It's not Harden who I am worried about, it's the fact that the role players suck balls.

oh well, here we are.

I wish he would have said asked for a swap of Allen and Drummond instead, but they pickup enough of Drummond's contract to make it work. I believe that would have given Cleveland Bird rights on the younger 5?

Without KD we are first round team and probably the worst defensive team in a league right now...

we couldn't do that, teams have to be responsible for 100% of a player's contract when they are traded.

Is it just me or anyone else see the offense change to Harden dribble dribble n everyone watches what he does next?

Everyone just standing, there's no offense here..

I was all for the Harden trade if Marks was able to fill out the rest of the roster with the right pieces.

We clearly have not done that.

I would honestly just rather have Kyrie/KD with Allen/Prince/Levert and use our first this year to acquire another role player.

This team doesn't make sense right now.

Apparently, I’m overreacting to saying this is poor coaching. Yet, we’re getting our ass kicked after two days off to the second worst team in the East.

It’s not like we didn’t give up 149 to the worst team in the East with KD but what do I know?

I liked the gambit when the Nash hiring news broke. It didn't take long for those warm fuzzies to subside.

I remember my first misgivings were after the Charlotte loss. Borrego is a hard worker managing a tough project, but if I had to rank head coaches, he'd be in my bottom 5. James ROUNDLY out-strategized Steve in that game, it was so unnerving to see a clearly inferior team just execute us to shreds. They were running simple but clearly rehearsed action on both ends. Meanwhile, we looked like improv artists.

I've had a twinge of that feeling ever since. HCSN has had some positive moments, and I'm sure he's got a great "feel" for managing egos. But on game day, he's the league jumpoff.
