GT: Nets @ Hawks | 02/26/2023 | 9:00 PM ET

We need a facilitator badly...

And a big.

I really think if AD stays healthy, him and Luka would be gets for us

[Hello Brooklyn]

Really bad ending but overall we showed a lot of fight.

Dinwiddie has been a very big disappointment since he got here.

The schedule gets brutal towards the end. Its inevitable we fall into the play in.

But I would give us a solid chance of keeping our spot before getting swept by Boston.

Saying we need big or playmaker and a C is a cosmetic work. Marks/Tsai made huge mitake extending JV.

Marks needs to be fired for that move alone.

JV is/was trash, wake up and pull your head out of your ass. Look at minutes and rotations.

Lots of talent to keep this team above 500 and win games like this. Without a coach this shi* will continue.

I think Marks needs to be demoted to a scout gig. Dumb fuc* can't evaluate most important job in NBA, which is coach.

Tsai is fuc**** moron. He's too attached to people and personal relationships. His wife is a problem too, more than most here think. She's the one players and agents be talking to. I'm not sure if Tsai is capable to handle these bums with all personal attachments.


Pathetic.


Yes I watch games when chance is given. My life don't stop at studying right now. Piss out to trolls with hot takes. Posting dumb shi* is what they do.

The first quarter was brutal but I'm not mad at this loss. Atlanta made a lot of tough shots. They shot the lights out.

I think people are discounting how new this team is and how tough it is to gel. 4 new starters mid season is basically unheard of. It feels like we're in preseason sometimes with the mistakes.

2 things. Sumner/Yuta need to take Seth/Harris spots in the rotation immediately. There's almost no point in having a defensive identity if you throw out 2 absolute zeros on defense. And both just aren't playing well enough to justify PT. And Sumner fills a need. He's an actual PG and he can actually drive to the rim.

I thought this was a good game but something about the team spirit feels off. Everyone's energy seems down. Even JV. Claxton isn't screaming after dunks and hyping the team up. The bench is super low energy. Idk it's a little disappointing.

Of course it’s disappointing; this was supposed to be the time for us to make a final push towards a top three seed and here we are a brand new team again trying to build chemistry. It’s a joke, a nightmare and an abomination. Only the Nets would something like this happen to. We were building momentum, chemistry and won a huge game against the Warriors and it all got flushed into the sewer. The teams energy and spirit has been deflated due to the disastrous month we had to endure. I want Marks gone already; it’s pathetic how he handled everything.

Sumner & Yuta SHOULD play over Seth & Harris.

Sumner's length, penetration skills and D would come in handy while giving Spencer a break. We may lose Seth's shooting, but gets compensated with other things.

Yuta has to play. He may not be the most talented, but he plays with a lot of heart, a deadshot in the corner 3 and can defend adequately. Joe is a lost cause. He's a target for offenses, and while he's coming along with his 3 pt percentages, he immediately trades it by allowing his man to score over him.

9 man rotation should be:
Bridges
CJ
Clax
Spencer
DSR
Cam
Royce
Sumner
Yuta

I expect a team full of guys with something to prove to be excited about the opportunity to have more responsibility.

You're right though. We lost our two leaders and one of our locker room leaders in Morris. Maybe it'll take time for someone to step up as leader.

[Born_Ready]

I just really want to see the team develop some chemistry and play some quality bball down the stretch.

The NETS are no longer built to withstand the body blows from Boston, or the Milwaukee's of the East, but hopefully they still play hard and compete.

Brooklyn's remaining schedule is brutal and they could possibly lose more games than they win, but even if they become are a fringe playoff team I would be happy with that at this point. I just don't want them to stop believing but buzzer beaters like last night can take the wind out of your sail.

You’re 100% right about Sumner and Yuta , we’re no longer contender , Harris Seth shouldn’t see the floor at all

Also we should get to grips that Spencer it’s 6 th man at best , not our hero ball guy , he shouldn’t start , he stops our ball movement a lot on offense , and on defense he doesn’t even try 90% of the time

We never had any leaders , if we had just one things would be different

All we had was 3 snakes

1 who likes to hoop and follower (never had enough balls to be clear leader)
2 who likes to stir the sh%t off court
3 who rather spend his time with lil baby in strip clubs then takin care of his overweight ass

On top of this we have maybe good at scouting GM but he is absolutely terrible at managing personalities and running team above 500

And Buffon owner , honestly I think I got him lower in my book than Dolan , and Dolan had been laughingstock of the league for more than two decades

It’s recipe for a disaster , before and now

Just want to add , I like Mikal CamT CamJ Clax Yuta Sumner DFS (Din Seth Royce in limited minutes) this guys can play , we have good building blocks , Ownership, Front office and coaching stuff is concerning though

[NetsWorld]

On the bright side Kyrie, Harden and KD's team all lost in brutal fashion. LOL

Kyrie deflected and didn't want to take the shot at one point, and of course he choked that final shot. Kidd was frustrated and called the team out. The Suns best chance to win is now but I don't think they will get it done and I am expecting KD to be upset again next year and not satisfied; it will be nice to see these other teams experience what we did. Nuggets, Clippers and dare I say the Lakers are all better teams IMO. As much as I dislike the Lakers, I will cheer them over the Mavs and Suns.

I can’t root against PHX , their fans was a class act after the trade , but I can’t root for KD either , I’ll stay neutral

Philly and Dallas I’ll root against every time though

I have no problem with Suns fans at all, except for a select few who troll but from the perspective of what benefits the Nets, I am not going to root for their success because they worse they are, the better their picks are for us. Houston fans can shut up already about how many picks they own. We got out capital back and it doesn't seem like they struck to much on the swaps, so they can smoke it. They will most likely get Wembanyanya but that's OK; he is not the end all be all.

I totally agree about Harris. But contending or not, I think the best of the other three players is Seth, and as such he should be in the rotation.

As far as Dinwiddie, I could live with him being sixth man, if there were five better, or even more useful, to start. Regardless of the hysteria about him, beginning even before he played his first game here, it seems so obvious to me that there are not. Reading this thread was depressing because I worried about the totality of so many knowledgeable posters saying things I thought were unwise. I felt somewhat better afterwards when I saw that the one person, who I'm convinced knows the game and team better than any of us, played Spencer the most, 41, minutes.

There were only three players with a positive +/-. Spencer was second, with Mikal, to DFS. It's ironic that multiple posts proposed that two of these and our high scorer CJ should come off the bench in the future. It might have made sense to me in another game.

After a dismal prior game when we had no offense, I thought we should have been more appreciative of Spencer, who was one of our four 20 point scorers against the Hawks. And if he stops the ball, with more than double the assists of anyone else last night, 8, what the heck does that say about every other of our perimeter players? I hate the term "hero" ball being used in such a derogatory manner against him, but he did have the high eleven points (on 5 of 6 shots) in the fourth quarter, and assisted on a critical three point play. Most chose to find a moment like believing he dribbled too much on a play, or any other negative, to make those incidences their opinion of his total worth. And regarding his not trying on defense, I disagree. Who was that trying to help Bridges on that last shot?

It's uncomfortable. But this may be the first time I've ever had to agree to disagree -- with everyone. I must be wrong.

Yeah the irony is Kyrie would have far better odds if he just stayed here.

On the Nets he had the legitimate chance to contend for a title. And if he had a drama free season the rest of the way he probably gets a max contract from either the Nets or Lakers.

Now he won't get it for sure.

I have nothing against Suns fans. But **** Durant. That title chasing whore. I will root against them until hes gone.

And same with Dallas and Philly.

Now he won't get it for sure.

Nets were all but finished with him; he wasn't coming back and he wanted to be in the driver's seat with negotiations. Had he waited and the Nets won, he probably gets his guaranteed four years. Hey, don't forget August 2021, Nets offered him a nice extension of four years 198 Million and he refused the vaccine which cost him. Beggers can't be choosers, fast forward a year and a half, he wants that contract now. Sorry, life does not work that way.
