  3. Yeaaah… This season is cooked. We’re not gonna be able to keep our 6th spot, and if we fall into the play-in, it’s a wrap.

    Excited for next season tho lol

  4. Day’Ron Sharpe with 20 points and 11 rebounds!!!

    **LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A BACKUP CENTER NOW**

  5. It’s ok Bridges just play well Thursday. We need Sharpe to play hard again. Promising loss.

  8. Mikal had an off night, it was bound to happen. If he had made atleast some of his threes, i think we could have won. We definitely have a chance on Thursday!

  9. If Sharpe just broke out idgaf what happens the rest of the way. Amazing game from him.

  10. Well we tried we almost made a comeback at the end of the game back on Thursday let’s try and win that one

  11. 20 and 10 for sharpe. Nice. If our offense was a few notches better this team would be pretty wild actually.

  12. what has happened to our old 3 point shooting. yuta seth and joey barely any buckets for a while

  14. I don’t get how vaughn thinks we are contenders, he is always trying to find the playoff rotation. He might as well focus on guys that will be here cos we ain’t doing anything post season.

  16. Some people are gonna see tonight and see the 4th loss in a losing streak.

    I see Sharpe showing his developing game and bag, Yuta finally getting minutes, Nets outrebounding one of the biggest teams by 17. Dinwiddie’s 11 assists.

    Yes the losses hurt but we are in the infancy of a rebuild. It’s not about playoff wins or standings anymore, it’s about developing guys, getting the team to gel, and making smart moves in the offseason when the time comes.

  18. I don’t know how but I’m going to blame Kyrie for this teams terrible 3 point shooting lately /s

  19. Fun start and end to the game at least, although not sure if it was worth staying up until 2am for here in the UK. Pleasure hanging around with you all though as ever.

  20. Now I gotta hear Vaughn talk about how we didn’t give up and we kept fighting. Yawn!!!

  21. some really uninspired basketball, hopefully this means the guys will come out looking motivated in the rematch on thursday.

    s/o Day’ron though

  22. Starting to get used to these losing streaks. Doesn’t even seem like we lost 4 in a row. Play-in tournament here we come!

  23. A win before Ramadan would have been nice. Oh well. Hoping for good next season. Have a nice night guys 🤍

  25. All of our guys are a little overextended in terms of shot creation. One playmaker would go a long way for us.

    Shoutout to Sharpe who was +28 in a loss somehow

  27. On the bright side, i think we’re basically a lock to get a lottery pick at this point. The team is getting worse on both ends. The guys have no chemistry. I expected some improvement as guys played together a little more but that’s not happening.

    Hopefully we strike gold in the draft.

  28. Bum Claxton had 8 rebounds from early in the first half and couldn’t grab one more to save my parlay lol.

  29. Our 3pt shooting can’t get any worse. Everyones morale has been down bad lately and it shows. Tough when you don’t have a superstar to facilitate for everyone else.

  32. Cavs fan coming in peace here. Just want to say shout out to Nets fans for being friendly, engaging and super fuckin classy. Every time I go to the Barclays (including that beatdown you gave us in the play-in) I’ve been treated with nothing but love and respect. Great game tonight, way to close the gap in the 4th. Yall had me on edge. Good to see Spence back too. Your new squad’s got vibes for days

  33. Dang, Clax with the -33 and Day’Ron with +27.

    Promising game. If Mikal makes 3 out of his 8 attempted threes (and he did have some open ones), we actually win by 3.

  34. For the love of god, can we promote Cam Thomas to the starting lineup and give him the green light. Even if you have zero faith in him, at this point we might as well try.

  35. If Ruocco had been calling we would’ve finished the comeback (Ian’s still the goat tho)

  36. Rotations and Minutes were great today and they played till the end! Jacque didn’t give up! Sharpe has shown he can be a backup. This is just the beginning of #CulturePart2 😤 Marks will definitely make moves over time. The 2018-19 team were making solid progress year after year and I believe this core will do the same. 👌👌👌

  37. I watched the Day’ron experience live 😎. Honestly thought the defense looks good. I just don’t think it’s sustainable with heavy minutes, the bench needs to get more run. Yuta, Sumner, and Cam Thomas would be a big help just to get the others some rest.

  38. One of the comforting things that I took from this game aside from Dinwiddie’s assists and Sharpe’s rebounds was that Mikal bridges can still score 18 points in a game where he’s playing badly, by his standards, and against a good team.

    Yes he got 0-8 from beyond the arc, but he also managed 18 points with no free throws attempted. There are plenty of heavy scorers in this league for whom the difference between a 15 to 20 point game and a 30 to 40 point game is 10 to 15 free throws, so to get 18 with no threes and no frees on a bad night tells me that he’s continuing to get better.

  39. From religiously watching every game to not even caring has been an interesting experience as a Nets fan lmao
