No words. It would be a good lesson learned, but this isn't the first time.

This is a joker post. Don’t blame Atkinson because the only NBA caliber center on the roster is 19. Blame Billy King.

King hasn't been around for 2 1/2 years how long can you keep blaming him for a team he had no hand in building outside of 1 player

Because he's the reason we don't have Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum on this roster, plus our own pick this draft and the pick Ainge got to trade back?

We need a veteran big man. Simply put. I’d actually be really happy with absorbing Howard if the Hornets blow it up this summer.

This team needs to be blown up. Trade everyone but LeVert and Allen.


This is one of the youngest teams in the league.

none of this should be a shock. none of it. i looked at the score at half time and expected this. why?

how many NBA veterans are on this team?


this is, and always will be a veterans league.

what were the golden state warriors doing when they were in their early 20s?

He could've at least put dlo and rhj back in earlier when our lead was going down the drain..and then we just keep running Iso for levert in the closing mins...he has no gameplans. Fixed rotations fixed mins and shots for everybody..walker shot 6-25 still get to play 37 mins dlo was balling in the 3rd but no KA makes sure his boy Dinweedie and levert gets their mins and touches. And we had a quality backup big in Zeller. But we traded him away to downsize.

No, you are just caught in the moment.

the best players on this team are under 25.

find me a team in NBA history who were wrapping up teams consistently in games with their core players being 22, 23, 24, 25 years old.

go on.

What does that have to do with Atkinson's ability to build a team

The kings and suns have had there picks and both teams still suck

Pat Riley has botched multiple first round picks and the heat are a playoff team

When are people going to stop making excuses for marks

They were up by 23 in the 2nd half! Against a team which will pick 10th overall. This wasn't a normal loss, this was an epic soul crushing implosion. I wouldn't be shocked if they only won 1 more game the rest of the way after this one. This is a loss where they're going to want to quit for the year tonight.

Definitely feel like we should've seen either Moz or Jah at least for a few spot minutes because Acy was getting eaten alive by Dwight

i seriously have no idea why you're even crying about this my dude. the picks are gone

maybe...just maybe...the Nets young core will learn from this.

they took their foot off of the gas pedal and got burned.

there has to be a reason why D'Angelo Russell doesn't get the ball to close and gets prematurely subbed. I can't defend this game. Kenny your bad at rotations. :lol:

“The Nets’ ability to lose games is admirable,” - all tanking teams, probably.

What was he supposed to do, wave his magic wand and land a young franchise guy for expiring contracts? I'm confused. Maybe you can unconfuse me? What would you have done? Like literally and specifically?
