Hey Nets after all that **** talking last season how your squad is gonna run the Celtics, good luck watching Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown destroy your team for the foreseeable future. Sweep that asssss with Tatum dominating Durant. Thanks for the draft picks!

Do you even give Kyrie a max if youre Brooklyn? Thats gonna be a big decision IMO

Maybe now Brooklyn fans will listen to us about what a cancer he is. Make no mistake if you sign him a max him retiring in the middle of next season is still a very REAL possibility

Because the Celtics didn’t tank to avoid Brooklyn, Jayson got better playing KD for 4 straight.

So Nets are probably cutting loose of Kyrie right? Dude cant be good for a team trying to build a culture. He lives in his own world. Kudos to him for doing what he wants. But if im a owner or GM. No way im giving this guy a long contract. Dude has literally been a 0 for the Nets. He'll be remembered for the off court antics. And lets be honest thats his legacy as a Nets player so far. He isn't good enough to warrant this much leeway. If im the nets im seriously pondering if bringing Kyrie back is a good idea.

Having won the game, this should be an occasion where you can highlight the disgusting stuff Scott Foster regularly does without whining...

NBA has a serious problem

GG Nets, they were once the favorites, and now they're probably gonna have to retool. Unfortunate, but this is why I love the NBA right now, nothing is guaranteed, there are no clear cut favorites. We have clear cut favorites missing the playoffs/losing in the first round. Love to see it.
