How do you know he's not coming back in?

Did he get ejected, or just for the rest?

We would be a 55 win team in an 82 game season based off our winning percentage. This is the most historic season in Nets history. We never led the league in scoring, 3 point shooting or FG%.

We have 16 wins to celebrate it properly but I want each and every member of this board to smile and celebrate this season. No matter what. Remember being banned for the billy king arguments. Remember it all.

We are lucky to be here and we deserve this. The Nets have gotten me through a lot of personal death, man. I make threads for therapy. I lost my mom on opening night in 2014 and I enjoyed that meaningless win so much because I knew the dark ages for us was coming and we made out of it. I do this with y’all for the brotherhood and sisterhood. This game reminds me of that because I knew one day I’d be able to celebrate a winning season.

This is the end of a historical season. Glad to be here.

The official scorer who didn't give Mike James an assist on that spectacular play is unqualified for his or her job.

Anyone in this forum can do the job better than he or she can.

Besides Kyrie, only Steph, KD and Larry Bird have managed to hit 25+ ppg on 50/40/90. Just insane all-around shotmaking. And I wouldn't be surprised to see him do it again next year. A historically great scoring talent. I thought he could do this, and it should've been clear this was on the table. He should be on the All-NBA third team or it's a travesty. This is for the haters.

I'm prolly a lot older than a lot of you heads in here.. I've been a Nets fan since about 86. Really started following them as much as I could afar in '98. It has been a long journey for sure. This team has been through some sh it. Anyone that knows me knows my fandom for this franchise remains the same win or lose. This season has been the most banter I've gotten from friends & family talking smack about how they bought this team, they stacked, etc. My rebuttal has always been. Have you seen what this franchise has been through the last two decades? They deserve this for everything they have had to endure over the years. Let them be..

While the playoff picture holds some uncertainty, I couldn't be more proud to be a fan of this team and what they have been able to accomplish through firings, trades, covid, new ownership... Marks has done a tremendous job keeping things afloat. We as fans have every reason to celebrate what this team has been able to do. If I could change anything within the season, it would be Spencer Dinwiddie being healthy. Congrats ladies and gents..we as fans can be proud of this team and organization.
OKC Thunder fan, too.

39 different starting line ups yet best win percentage in teams history.

Kyrie 50/40/90 first time in teams history.

It was fun all things considered.

Same here my friend. I've been obsessed with this team winning a championship all year, BECAUSE I KNOW WE CAN (if healthy and whole), and I know that can be annoying sometimes, but I love this team, WE ALL DO, that's why I love y'all man. It's easy to run with the crowd and root for the Knicks, but it takes a non-conformist to say F THE KNICKS and be down with the Brooklyn Nets. :wink:

I want the Boston Celtics. It’s time to show them no mercy for the dark rebuilding years. A sweep or gentlemen sweep would get Ainge or Stevens fired. I want the smoke.

Let's also not forget that Marks spent years slowly rebuilding the team with the paltriest of assets, meanwhile installing top staff and facilities. Can't call it a 'bought team' when he started with barely more than Monopoly money.

It's also been pretty clear for years that BRK was a player-friendly franchise that attracted players via such a model. Shouldn't' be a total surprise that stars like KD & Kyrie liked what they saw and decided to sign up.

The haters can suck it, far as I'm concerned.

Definitely going to be a war for that 7 spot. I like Russ and thats the only reason I don't want to spank them. Other than that I have no thing going vs that team. Their fans talking smack is just laughable. I don't care, meaningless.
