@NBA this is pathetic. What’s the explanation lol..ruins the integrity of a game when you have referees doing this with a tie game under 2 minutes
How is that not a backcourt violation? NWA is allowed to do that? That’s crazy lol feels like these refs have been heavily favoring Atlanta in the 2’d half.
The Brooklyn Nets look to improve to 3-6 tonight as they take on the Atlanta Hawks on the second night of a back-to-back.
Can Brooklyn pick up another win tonight?
One rookie mistake against Boston is the difference between the Nets being 2-6 and 3-5.
At 3-5, Brooklyn would be sitting 9th in the Eastern Conference, right in the Play-In picture.
Instead, they’re 13th.
It’s early, but this team is a lot closer to being competitive than its record suggests - despite the Nets product being difficult to watch at times. The door for the Nets to be competitive in the East is wide open.
At what point do the Brooklyn Nets move on from Noah Clowney as a significant part of their rotation and give Josh Minott a legitimate opportunity?
Through 7 games, Clowney is averaging:
5.4 PPG
4.9 RPG
37.9% FG
28.6% 3PT
21.6 MPG
Now in his fourth NBA season, Clowney has shown very little offensive progression. His shooting remains inconsistent, he struggles to create offense, and the overall impact simply hasn’t been there
Josh Minott deserves a legitimate opportunity in Brooklyn’s rotation.
Last season with the Nets (16 games):
10.8 PPG
49.1% FG
39.5% 3PT
1.3 SPG
0.8 BPG
19.3 MPG
Minot’s 16 game sample last year would be the best 16 game stretch of Clowney career.

At what point are we going to start seeing tangible results from Sean Marks draft picks?
Finding occasional value late in the draft is great but after nearly a decade as GM, it’s fair to expect more than flashes of potential and a collection of role players.
Eventually, that drafted talent needs to translate into meaningful development, legitimate impact players, and most importantly winning basketball…
No Keon Ellis or Moe Wagner. Great job Sean Marks
Some role players that I feel deserve a ton of love for the start to their seasons:
Karlo Matković - Pelicans
Paul Reed - Pistons
Cam Spencer - Grizzlies
Isaiah Stewart - Grizzlies
Mario Hezonja - Cavs
Landry Shamet - Knicks
Ziaire Williams - Lakers
Walter Clayton Jr. - Mavericks
Marcus Smart - Rockets
Sidy Cissoko - Blazers
Robert Williams - Blazers
Ja'Kobe Walter - Raptors
De'Anthony Melton - Warriors
Depends who is available in FA this upcoming summer. Comes down to if I would prefer to have cap space this summer or would I prefer to have Sabonis the remainder of the next 2 seasons, then maybe he signs a team friendly contract? 🤔
