This proves what the Nets can be, when players show up for work, and with a competent coach the players respect
That's just a miserable comment from Wilbon
Nets could win 20 in a row and blowout the Celtics and Bucks and they still wouldn't get any respect.
If they can get a mobile center in their paint….they'll be a problem in the East
Wilbon is what happens you care more about narrative than what’s happening on the court.
Anyone who thinks the nets wouldn't have obliterated the bucks in game 6 or 7 if kyrie didn't get hurt is just deluded….
It's not even about being a nets fan its what we saw. At one point in game 1 or 2 the bucs were done 50 and you telling me without kai getting hurt they don't lose?.. you are just deluded
Is it me or does stephen as make up look weird
If I haven’t ever seen two haters on the same desk 😁
Nets haters acting like it wasn’t injuries in 2021 & a bs nyc mandate in 2022 with 50million not even playing. Health is the only problem for the Nets 💯
Wilbon is a stg up hater fr.. he still hoping the lakers make the playoffs .. kick him off tv !
Michael Wilbon is looking worse by the day. Every time he comments on the Nets he says something dumb. He was supposed to be one of the more unbiased personalities and he's turning into old man Nick Wright before everyone's eyes.
hmmm…..Nets were the 2nd seed in '21 and took the Bucks 7 with only KD and 1/2 Harden and were an inch away from winning g7 (KD's ecf stats > Giannis), Nets were the 1 seed until KD went down and they lost 14 straight to send them to the play-in in '22 were they played the best defense in the league in the 1st rd and guess what they had the most efficent offense against that defense and lost by a combined 14 points in 4 games to the Celtics, but for some reason this year the clowns think they have no chance lmao
This can’t trust the Nets narrative is getting boring and outdated. Give props when it’s due the nets are balling
wilbon loves stephen.a look at him love it 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Haters
Wilbon doesn't watch any games his "analysis" is completely narrative driven.
Jalen, the Nets are the 2nd best team in their conference. Please get it right if you're going to speak on it.
this team can literally go 16-0 in the playoffs and the media will still say they aren't sold on the nets yet
It was better when y’all wasn’t talking bout them let them do they thing in peace
Nets in the eastern conference book it baby
Stephen A really is a sucker for the Nets 😂
Stephen A. Nutsucker
Can someone name a team that has won 12 in a row during the season that hasn’t gone deep into the payoffs
Atlantic: Nets
Central: Cavaliers
Southeast: Heat
Pacific: Warriors
Northwest: Nuggets
Southwest: Mavericks
Let's make some money, Brooklyn. From Brokelyn to Crooklyn.
Take the circle graphic off the thumbnails espn.
Its not suprising Nets is playing this well, the suprising part is that it took this long. People have been picking them to win for a long time now..
The facts are the nets have underachieved more than not. They’re definitely one of the most talented squads in the league, but I also would want to see more than a month before I’m crowning them
