When this team is at full strength it will be surreal. This is why I have serious doubts about the Nets future.

The players available for Boston play their heart out and fit together on offense and defense they play team ball.
Kyrie is a great talent but will the continuity & cohesiveness be the same in Boston with him and Heyward next year?

The Brooklyn Nets will go through them in the future.

They were great defensively and offensively with Kyrie, and Heyward is a beast on the wing. They are going to destroy us next season big time.

Landing Sean Marks as GM. Getting Kenny Atkinson as head coach. Getting a 1st and 2nd pick on top of simply getting Demarre Carrol. Being lucky not to get Crabbe the first time, and then IMO lucky to get him the second time on a net $12 M per year deal. Having their first round picks from the last three years -- picks in the 20s -- looking damn good and having other teams wishing they had them - RHJ, Caris, the Fro. Having players they picked up off the scrap heap come through in huge ways, like Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie.

If you don't understand how much good luck the Nets have been having lately, you are missing out.

Having the worst GM possibly in the history of League and given the awful decisions he made, should have set the team back for a decade or more, ... The Russian Oligarch and Billy King really did the Franchise in. But since the team hit bottom; the basketball gods have actually not been that unkind.

Every time Tatum and Brown have good games, it hurts a little, but Nets are in an okay place; and they were not supposed to be anyplace but in an extremely hurting place for a number of years. so it is important to remember how much good to be grateful for.

Yeah I mean we're in a better place than we were 3 years ago. but it still seems like we're still going to be lagging behind Boston, Philly, and Toronto for a long time.

Hell, if the Knicks land a stud piece in the draft we'll be behind them too.

No No No we're not a playoff team right now but they will be Could be in 2,3 years could be sooner. And our team must and will get tougher Toronto is soft. The Nets need more of that gladiator mentality you see in the Philly Boston series and less of the nice guy mentality they'll get there.

LET"S GO NETS!!!!!

I don't think that the Nets are remotely soft despite being a team full of guys with high character. The young guys need to get physically stronger and we could use at least one wing player and one big off of the bench who are complete ass holes that won't hesitate to deliver the hard foul and jaw with opponents. Most people want Quincy Acy gone but in reality we need that type of bruiser scrappy player in the line up.

That's the wrong mentality to have as a fan bruh. There was a game we should have won last year but the refs wouldn't allow it.
Add some tough players ready to fight and kick some ass. :D :rockon:

Soft was a bit harsh maybe but if you watch the Philly Boston series it's physical I didn't see a lot of that from our guys last year.
Like you said add some players that play hard and show that they want it. Acy was the only one who fought back last year.

RIP Toronto Craptors - they might as well blow it up and trade DeRozan to the Lakers

Stars take you far and Raps have two okay stars and a bunch of solid players.

No surprise LBJ is smashing them. Raps are built for regular season but come playoffs time they crap the bed.

They only have one super star in Derozan. The beast can't carry a Lowry and put up a series against the King at the same time.

Lowry looked like he pissed himself last night.

Derozan is no superstar, he's just a star. And Lowry's been solid all series while Derozan crapped the bed last game.

The 8th seed Toronto Raptors was worse than a bye....

Yo so remember when those Raptor fans used to come on our board talking **** for days right...

Karma is bitch, and she loves to **** whoever has it coming.

They gave up after gm 1...

very bad series from Lowry and DeRozan... both guys we know are much better than that.... loss for words.

Can't remember a worse out for a 1 seed....(eliminated by 8th seeds aside)

Raps fans need to never troll bragging about that franchise again.

They are getting roasted.

Rockets, Warriors and Cavs made it.. no surprises.

Really shocked the Cs are THIS good without Kyrie and Hayward. Scary.

Not sure who we would have drafted, but seeing Brown and Tatum ball out depresses me a bit tbh. F Billy King! :cry:

The east is Lebron's until he retires, end of story.
