Cause nobody cares about the nets, and nets like it that way. They are a big market team with the media following of a small d3 college in Arkansas. The one time they did have aggressive media scary hours they freaked out cause they couldn’t handle bad press.

Nets were so quick to cut bait with generational players like Harden, KD, Kyrie but they draw the line at Noah Clowney
I don’t know how many times we have to watch Noah Clowney failing to box out a big on the defensive glass. It’s an OREB or foul every time. Clowney now has 4 fouls and will head to the bench.

Remind you, this is the team the Nets put together after 4 years of tanking, 2 years of having the most cap space on the league, and having the most tradable FRP’s in the league. Complete malpractice.

2-7. Nets should feel a level of desperation. They've dropped 118 games in the prior two years, and Houston is holding their pick. Rebuilding is one thing, compounding it with avoidable self-inflicted wounds is another. Young team and a long season, but you play to win the game

The NBA tried something with these Cup courts. I give them points for trying. Half of them are such eyesores that I really struggle to actually watch the games. Tone them down next year. No more blood red. No more piss yellow.

Mike Breen: "Julius Randle…5 years with Knicks, 3 All-Star teams, twice All-NBA, 2021 averaged 24-10-6 and 41% from 3…one of the great individual lines in Knicks history…He deserves credit for helping start the turnaround…Randle started the Knicks back on the success route"

💯. Always chasing potential. Always looking 5 years ahead. While the team sucks year after year. Could’ve had Coward and Acuff right now. Even after getting screwed in the lottery.

Sean Marks has single-handedly set the franchise back another 5 years after the last 2 offseasons

I have no idea how the nets expect to get out of the gutter as a rebuilding team fading athleticism and physicality to this degree I have never seen a young team like this that is less athletic than their opponent every single night

The big-picture implications of Mikel Brown Jr.’s performance were far more encouraging than the pain of another moral victory. At least I’d say. @NetsDaily netsdaily.com/nets-analysis/…

Fire Marks @joetsai1999 Sad, lifeless, boring, pathetic team right now It feels embarrassing to be a Nets fan, the one exciting player is on some weird mins limit The vets don’t play hard at all The 2025 draft looks awful The org needs a new vision, a new voice, your GM is a con artist who’s had way too much time he’s going to have the worst resume ever for a 10+ year exec stop embarrassing us and fire him

Best tweet so far. 5 draft picks and they got NOTHING out of it. Would Demin even play for a half decent team? The other 4 are complete busts

Everyone finds Smoltz a constant irritant. The question is why doesn't MLB and FOX do something about it? He has a bug in his ear. Tell him to shut up and let the game breathe.
