Does anyone else hate the Brooklyn Nets for no good reason 

Post#1 » by Godymas » Fri Jan 19, 2024 5:20 pm

I can’t stand this franchise, they’ve been an embarrassment of the NBA ever since the Kidd era ended. Their iconic players are all FAs. Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Kyrie, KD. Even before then, Kidd was obviously brought to them. Traded the house for KG/PP in their late 30s and missed out on Tatum and Brown.

Their franchise points leader is Brook **** Lopez. No shade on Brook, but no one even cares about his Nets years compared to what he’s been for Milwaukee.

Even god awful NBA franchises have had stars that ran their team. Wizards had Wall/Beal. Detroit had Drummond and Reggie Jackson and one year of Blake. Charlotte had Kemba.

Everything about their team screams “half-assed we don’t give a ****”. Why is Jacques Vaughn their coach still? Why is there no clear break-out star or improvement? What is their direction with all their tanking picks feeding Houston???

Then there’s their social media presence which I feel gets shoved down my throat every other day. They are hopping on every single meme trend and shoving their players in there. Does it REALLY make people want to watch their games?? There’s a god awful Amex commercial where a young girl goes to a Nets game, no way this would happen in a KNICKS town.

I can’t stand their arena, it’s the ugliest in the NBA. I can’t stand their aimless attitude, they did the same mistake AGAIN and traded the house for 30+ superstars. Imagine that, the new regime same god damn mistakes??

I can’t be the only one that views this entire franchise as a disgrace, they aren’t laughable bad like the Wizards, Pistons, Charlotte, they’re disgraceful bad like the Clippers before lob city.

The Ben Simmons trade, bottom 5 trade ever???

No offense to them or their fans but I dead ass forget they even exist sometimes.

Kyrie was an "iconic player" for them?

Kinda odd that I haven't really seen a blatant hate thread for another team here like this one. You're pretty clueless with a lot of the stuff you're saying there, OP. How are you going to mention Detroit with Drummond, Reggie Jackson, Blake Griffin and disregard that KD, Kyrie, and Harden were here once? :lol: :lol:
