Patty has to be better but is he really worse defensively than Seth?

Joe is who is killing us

This team just sucks. Were not better without Kyrie at all LOL.

Teams figured us out real quick. No offense. Horrific shooting. Even our defense is bad this game.

Its time to stick a fork in it and stop wasting KD's prime.

The D Lo Nets were legitimately a better than than either the 22 or 23 Nets. And its not close.

The FO isn't serious about a championship/finals run.

Hiring Vaughan instead of the superior Udoka, signing g-leaguers and undrafted guys, not making win-now trades. No sense of urgency, Kyrie still being out is an absolute joke either trade him or let him play.

This organization is a joke.

Everything we did this entire off season was stupid. This team sucks.

It is legitimately bad. And thats with Kevin Durant.

We should have taken the Jaylen Brown deal. Massive mistake!

Can't share same opinion man, this is not Ben I watched that killed us during PO. This is fake impersonation.

I didn’t say it was the old Ben. The man is coming off back surgery and a season off. He needs time. Realistically we just got to hope he makes progress and also realize that he may take a step back here and there

I'm honestly starting to believe Sean Marks is happy being a 7-10 seed.

Last year we were STRUGGLING without Durant and he did nothing aside from a **** Harden trade he lost.

This season hiring Vaughan was the safe but stupid decision. Vaughan is fine as a 1st round fodder coach but for an elite team??

Sabonis is currently killing us.. another big man who has destroyed us this season. And Marks does...? Nothing. We have been needing a back up big man for weeks.

Extremely disappointing to give up 75 in a half to the Kings, no matter how hot they got.

It was all too easy for them. We know we have an issue with guys who can punish us on the inside, Valunciunas Davis and Sabonis now single handedly destroyed us so why don't we try something else other than having Clax try to guard someone 50 pounds heavier than him 1v1. Utilise our speed and length, try something other than just giving them layup after layup.

On the positive side of things, Ben looks better and we need him on this trajectory if we're going to be anything more than a playin team/low seed fodder.

I don't think we're out of this game yet, Kings are not that good and our shooters can catch fire, but we need to adjust defensively to how we're playing.

Agreed, crazy thing is I think KD would make Boston worse. Brown is instrumental to Celtics success. It’s never to late to make that trade. We could also go for Ingram again

Agreed. I'd do the KD & JB trade now.

They have got a better record tho 6-6.

This feels like the 2007/2008 Nets season. I’ve been watching the games but had no interest in posting about this team. I’m watching out of habit but this team is not good. And no we’re not better without Kyrie.

I'd say the FO absolutely is, we threw away our next half decades worth of picks for Harden and committed to one of the highest payrolls in the league. We didn't do that and Tsai didn't sign off on that to be in the position we are now.

Unfortunately, sometimes **** happens. Nobody could have foreseen Harden's hamstring injury that turned him into a shell of his former self, or the pandemic restrictions and its effects on Kyrie, or Joe's injury, or Ben suddenly forgetting how to play basketball after a year off, or everything else that has gone wrong.

We've had EVERYTHING go wrong after we were on top of the NBA world after the Harden trade. Now let's see how the FO responds, we're in a supremely difficult position in that we can't tank while having no cap flexibility, we have to keep KD happy and build on culture to achieve anything in the next few years.

Problem is, we not better with Kyrie either.

What exactly did Kyrie do to make any legit Nets fan feel confident in him? You know he is major reason we in this shi*. Whether most agree or not, but Harden trade was made because of Kyrie.

I start to think that this team without Kd would be the worst in NBA?!

It was good run few games but it looks like we are back go reality

We would be

Just not enough 2 way players who be consistently good right now. Our 1 way players are not even consistently good at their 1 way right now

KD is getting washed up. Not trading him this off-season was mistake. There's multiple games in this season alone where he didn't look like best player.

Siakam smoked him. Even though we won, we won not because of KD.

Sabonis right now.

Luka both games.

Need to blow this shi* ASAP.
