What was your top takeaway from Nolan Traore's performance and the Nets' win over the Bulls?
let’s hope on Nolan, we already celebrated wolf as a steal and powell as a solid pick but than it has been a rollercoaster of performances but i’m still sure we nailed 4 out of 5
Thanks for not discussing CamT – Noah. Nolan. Nic, Day'Ron. Egor and MPJ…we have a sqaud…tank or not. The new guys,…learn from Zaire…
Erik Slater been talking about trading Clax and Day'Ron…cmon bro. Trade Erik 🙂
Didn't think it would be so hard to get the worst record in the league. UNREAL. 🤷🤦🙎
You'd think if we sat out MPJ and Egor chances were good that we'd lose but we should be as aggressive sitting out guys as other teams are. The Wizards played their eight worst players against us the other day. Perhaps we should start doing something similar to that. In addition, if the league is not going to punish the team then why has MPJ not been shut down with his back problem history and current MCL sprain that he was and possibly still is nursing?
Clax and Egor should be sat down more then they are.
In hindsight, Coach Jordi could have started Noah tonight at center with Danny backing him up at the 5. The Nets could have definitely gone with a smaller lineup against the Bulls and it would have made sense.
I agree that Danny is bouncing back nicely. Didn't expect anything less from a player with his size and skill set. 👏👏👏👏
So Drake is a good defender that can shoot the ball. Considering he was picked in the later part of the 1st round he is has already met my expectations as a productive role player. He will continue to ascend as he gets more experience.
Still a little concerned about Ben. This is the season for him to get on track because otherwise he's going to be in the G-League all next season. The shooting is still not good nor is his defense and he keeps turning over the ball too much.
Agbaji and Minott were available to play against Washington but we still haven't seen them yet. I'm guessing Coach Jordi wants to get them acclimated to his system before putting both on the floor. Hope to see them playing soon. Specifically Agbaji who the Nets have to decide if they are going to retain him or rescind his qualifying offer at the end of the season.
I think the Nets have tanked enough to get good odds for a top 3 pick in the draft. If the goal is a top four pick (worst record on the NBA) then I agree that they have to be shameless and sit everyone. But you know, from last year, the lotto has a way of punishing shameless tanking and rewarding those who just let things play out.
You missed the best tanking weapon – keeping Cam Thomas.
We got our backcourt, we need aj at the 3
If we keep this up we'll be Drafting Darius Acuff Jr (great player) but still
The Brooklyn nets are still sorry as hell sorry ass s*** I seem to high school players play better than Brooklyn nets
I don't want to see them sorry as nets
People seem to forget that for a large part of the 2024-2025 college and international season Nolan draft stock was top 5. He was top 5 prospect lock. Then his stock fell but again he was considered a lottery pick. I’m sure the jumpshot was a big part of the fall but the raw potential is there.
As far as the Tank goes it stinks but Nets can’t seem to figure out how to tank like the Wizards. They did sit MPJ and Dëmin but you cannot estimate the power of EFFORT and coach who demands it every night regardless. That combination will get you wins in league where defense is optional on any given night. The Nets may have to Add Claxton to the list of rest candidates.
Brooklyn win: UPSET
Brooklyn lose: UPSET
I hate this season
The Nets front office seems to be attached to some weird eastern philosophy. Idk if it’s karmic or honor bound to “morally” tank. But it makes no sense given how the rules are dictated and it’s holding us hostage as fans who obviously want our team to win but win a chip or at least in the playoffs…NOT in February of a tanking year when the entire goal is NOT TO WIN! The worst part is that we beat a Washington team that is competing with us for a top draft pick 🤦🏿‍♂️… how dumb can you be!?
It’s time to get rid of Marks… we can’t continue to allow this guy to steer this team towards the middle of the draft and off a cliff talent wise. We’re definitely at or close to the bottom of the league yet our record doesn’t reflect that because we’re winning games that seem like a positive but actually will hurt us on draft night
