Nets at Knicks 3.1.23

[BKlutch]

Thanks fam. You guys have been classy about this whole thing and you deserve the success that the Knicks are having after all of those years.

But to your point, I have to say nah...Bezos is garbage and can rot in DC. Steve Cohen, the owner of the Mets, is the guy that needs to buy this team.

You’re welcome to join us any time. Don’t give up on ball because of Genocide Joe and that Flat Fuqq Kyrie

I appreciate you being respectful and professional; one of your users over there is trolling And1s in here KnicksGadfly will be warned soon enough and I will report him if he does not stop that. As far as the game goes, Knicks are simply clicking on all cylinders and Hart has helped immensely. It's crazy how Marks/Tsai cannot take note that sometimes all you need is ONE PIECE to turn a season around or get to that next level. Best of luck in the playoffs. I have no desire to see this Nets team in the playoffs, we should just try and improve our chances at a lottery pick.

Some folks have an attitude that shows just as much anywhere they post. RealGM has enough of them. Our sport allows us to want to dominate on the floor but we need to remember this isn’t a war — nobody, especially not fans, should get killed. And every Knicks fan better damn well remember we were a team in a bad situation and feeling horrible for years.

That said, nobody should ignore Joe Tsai’s expressed support for genocide on ESPN, and the damage that Kyrie willingly inflicted on his teammates, fans, and people with less power than he has. I feel bad for Kenny and those players whose careers were harmed by his antics. Kendrick Perkins and Whammy now think Clara Tsai is tormenting Ben to get him to break his contract. WTF??

I am totally aware of Joe Tsai and the Nets have also been through many rough times and years. In fact, we had it worse than the Knicks when we were in NJ. I just hope we don’t go back to the abysmal 2010-2011 days.

[Paradise]

This team can’t lose or afford anyone who’s a need. The lack of some of the little things Ben does is clearly missing. The D, pushing pace and rebounding really does help just being out there. Dude is already looking suspect to the newcomers. We simply need to move on from him and add more or a quality PG talent.

I wouldn’t change anything of the makeup of this team when it comes to having Cam J, Mikal, Dorian, Royce.

Spencer needs to take a pay cut or he can leave. I’d find suitors for Cam Thomas, Joe Harris and Mills next season.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Should have just given flat earth man the max if it meant keeping KD around.

All the drama and headaches were still preferable to whatever this **** is.

Maybe youre right

Still feels like it would just delay the inevitable though. Kyrie was going to do something dumb and force his way out.

I'd rather deal with Kyrie missing 50% of games, but still get to watch KD ball.

This current team is full blown 12 win season rebuild. They are awful.

To make things worse, they extended JV when there was no need to do that. He's an average coach at best. Basically our modern version of Lionel Hollins. Full circle friends.

Watching Din dribble the ball for 22 secs is bad for my health. It really feels like reliving a nightmare.

Yeah disagree.

The KD-Kyrie Nets were the most frustrating team I've ever watched in my life.

Last year we got swept. This year we we going to blow it again. Likely losing to the Bucks or Celtics.

I'd rather watch a team that isn't good rather than one that is great and refuses to live up to its potential.

KD is also constantly injured so how often do we really see him play? Not to mention he **** the bed vs the Celtics last year.

I'd far prefer ending it now then watching it go down in flames in the off season. We lose Kyrie for nothing. And then KD of course demands a trade and Phoenix gives us less back probably.

Vaughn is fine for the moment. We don't need to hire some great coach for this **** team. I think we just wanted some stability and I'm fine with that.

Next year we have a chance to become a fun team.

[Tha King]

Bridges as a Net: 23.4ppg - 5.0rpg - 3.1apg - 1.3spg on 52/47/92
CJ: 19.0ppg on 51/38/80

Very good.

There are FOUR new starters on this team. It was always going to take some time to get things right. Hopefully Simmons can be out there soon because he's a valuable part of this team. Harris and Curry need to be completely out of the rotation though.

[MrDollarBills]

Kevin Durant further expounded on his desire to leave the Brooklyn Nets dating back to the 2022 offseason. The Nets initially resisted the idea of trading Durant, but eventually accommodated him after they also traded Kyrie Irving.

“What do you think it was?” said Durant. “I was looking at the year we was in the last year and then this year, what are we doing [for the future]? I’m here. I signed the contract [extension], but nobody else around me signed. It was too much confusion. I’m glad I can move forward.”

The Nets traded James Harden for Ben Simmons at last year's trade deadline and it appeared Irving's time with the franchise was coming to an end despite their status as contenders in the Eastern Conference.

“I was thinking about who’s in the building, then when s*** started happening. We’re not playing well. KI requested a trade. It felt like a lot of s*** wasn’t happening for us. But I was locked in. I felt like my play showed people that I was really committed to the organization.

“I looked up, like what am I gonna do? I don't know who's gonna be my teammates, so I was a little nervous with that happening. And we were able to work something out.”

He acts like he had no part in this mess. He could have cleaned this up last year by telling Kyrie to either sh*t or get off the pot. Instead he chose to side with Kyrie and Harden got pissed and bounced. KD helped to destroy this franchise and then ran when Kyrie did him dirty. I hope he never wins another ring in his life.

His inability to win with the Nets all but solidified he cannot get it done on his own; he ran to the Warriors in 2016, of which was an all time team and now he joins the Suns, another team which has a superstar in Booker and all star in Ayton and a team with a devleoped system and culture. Mind you, when LeBron went to Miami, they had to figure that **** out and it took time; Kevin always wants things already developed when he gets there, hence he will never be Kobe, Michael or LeBron.

What? Lmao. We were top 3-4 when Kyrie asked for the trade. What a load of bull. KD refuses to blame Kyrie, who constantly made everything about himself.

KD has such a strong game and such a weak mind. With his talent, he should be the leader on the floor, and should be bringing out the best in each of his teammates. Instead, he started looking to KI for leadership. He's made poor career choices all along. Even though he may be more talented than almost all the top 5, he squanders his advantage and enabled Kyrie's bizarre behavior.

This guy said that without Kyrie the Nets lost their identity, which is hilarious since Kyrie barely played when he was here and didn't care about missing half the season the year before.

KD is a weirdo.

[KnixtapeH20]

How df is Brunson cookin us when supposedly we have good perimeter D?

Brun cooks everyone, he's HIM. Dallas a fool for letting him walk. He just needed to get out of Lukas shadow. Most of us felt he had another level to get to but nobody really knew it was this. It's crazy how efficient he is from the foul line in.

Just enjoying the ride for now see where it takes us but Thibs gets out coached all the time so we'll only go so far.

[KnixtapeH20]

I've stayed quiet and away from here because I didn't want my negativity to bring any of you down because it's really hard being a fan of this franchise. But, I'm done as a fan of this team. I've been done for months now mentally because of Kyrie and his antisemitism putting a stain on this season, but the crap we've seen since the break has really made the decision easy for me. No offense to Bridges or Johnson, but they're nowhere near as good as Suns fans made them out to be, and that's alright. It's not their fault. This is a horrible situation and if I'm Cam Johnson I take the first offer sheet that comes my way this summer.

Do yourselves a favor, all of you. Turn this sh*t off. There's so much more outside of the Nets that you can find to entertain you. I haven't watched a full game since the break and I would advise the rest of you to follow suit. Do not support this with your time or money. Don't. This franchise doesn't deserve any of us. Not me, not you, not the Brooklyn Brigade, not Mr. Whammy, the fans on the subreddit, twitter, NetsDaily, etc.

F*ck Kyrie, f*ck KD, f*ck Joe Tsai and his genocide money, f*ck his meddling wife, and f*ck Sean Marks.

Sorry for you and the rest of the fans. Not sorry for Genocide Joe, Krazy Clara, his wife, Wacky Marx Bro, or the criminally insane Kyrie Flatso Irving.

The good news: The Knicks were this bad, everybody hated our team, and things did improve. I think Genocide Joe should sell. Bezos is looking for a team, I hear.

Thanks fam. You guys have been classy about this whole thing and you deserve the success that the Knicks are having after all of those years.

But to your point, I have to say nah...Bezos is garbage and can rot in DC. Steve Cohen, the owner of the Mets, is the guy that needs to buy this team.

After he buys the Knicks

[OneZilion]

People just stop hating KD…

He showed how he feels bad about Nets broke up… but understand he came here to play with KI and was happy to have Harden also

They played 16 games all 3, and he and KI just 74…

you know the relationships that is like: It could be great, but it was not meant to be.

They just never had real chance, that Bucks series loss changed all… believe me if we won that all be different

Irving is headcase but maybe if you have chance to have generational talent in kd, maybe you just give that max to KI and try winning

This season we was 18/20 rolling… crazy bad run out

all those guys was much better next to KD cause they are role players, like Royce, Yuta, Clax…

this team is completly new… and Mikal and Cam are bice pieces to begin with… but all we need now is patience

[Karate Diop]

This one hurt... But not entirely surprising... The Nets are basically fielding a new starting lineup while the teams they're up against have 50+ games under their belts... We know from a pure star standpoint this team is lacking so it's always going to be an uphill battle.

He will get humiliated again by either Milwaukee or Boston.

I was about to call the cops on Brunson during the game. He was just abusing us

Whoever matches with the Knicks in the first round is in trouble for sure.

[therealbig3]

Meh, I don’t blame KD. He was literally the only one that showed up when healthy and just played without any extra drama. He wants to compete for a title, he wanted to do it with his friends, but that didn’t work out and we weren’t competing for a title any time soon. At his age and at this point in his career when he’s still at the top of his game, I totally get why he wanted to be traded.

The clear villain in all of this is Kyrie. Dude was either always injured or just decided to not play…just because. Never really showed up when it mattered most if we’re being honest, and we were a consistently bad team whenever he was asked to carry us without other stars. Huge distraction off the court throughout his time with us and it alienated Harden to the point that he quit on us and forced his way out. Now we’re stuck with an all time bad basketball player in Simmons on a long term max contract, after we gave up a ton of assets. Then Kyrie decides to demand a trade after we didn’t fall over ourselves to give him a max long term contract after he’s been the most unreliable player in history during his tenure with us. Which inevitably forces Durant’s hand.

Kyrie is the biggest reason this fell apart, and it isn’t close. He’s the worst thing that ever happened to this franchise. Deron Williams was a dream come true compared to him.

[therealbig3]

Anyways, Knicks are actually good, and we have a bunch of good but not great players that just started playing together and Jacque Vaughn is a garbage coach. It’s going to take time.

Giving Vaughn an extension is mind boggling to me. I really didn’t see a difference between him and Nash, but whatever, this board is determined to blame Nash for everything and act like he’s the touch of death, when a lot of the things that went right for us were because of him.

Vaughn is an actual proven failure as a coach.

They can still fire him; anything can happen, but bear in mind, Marks is outta here come June. We need a GM that can balance our roster out.
