Brooklyn Nets official thread: 20-21 season

[shuges]

This drama from the draft tonight reminded me that Giannis also doesn't like Harden and didn't want to draft him to his team either.

I get the vibe that a lot of people are looking at what Harden did as a soft move (SOFTEN). And I absolutely agree with you EZMONEY SERVANT that KD is a funny dude. I think a lot of people don't understand that KD is a TROLL. Son has perfected that deadpan humor and everybody thinks he's grumpy or unfunny. He stay making comments with a straight face and then sometimes cracking up minutes later. See his interview when he said he bust Cam's *** in practice all the time.

He was trolling a little tonight but he CLEARLY ain't ******* with Harden with comments like "I'm happy with the guys that wanna be here". He made sure to say that two different times.

KD gonna work wonders for Ben's psyche. Durant the team-mate that supports you forever. Dope that Ben not messing around and is joining the team tomorrow.

edit:
**** the pawnz, Kyrie. Watch him play much looser again now.

 

[krazy88s]

10 (losses) in a row likely 11 with Miami coming up

where the hell is that damn allstar break?!

If I gotta watch Bruce Brown and James Johnson try to create offense I'm gonna yell. And why does Kessler and Dayron Sharpe keep getting their **** punched at the rim?

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

frustrating, BUT its always darkest before the dawn. just gotta be patient.... i know its easier said than done

and why not ................

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

 

[shuges]

10 straight. Damn!!

As usual, the team played with good effort and made it close at the end. Cam has really been showing out lately. Interesting that his game has picked up ever since Harden went out of the lineup.

Blake and Patty (our Godsend) did the best they could. Kessler looks like he has hit the rookie wall. And Kyrie tried his best out there. This was a winable game but with so much going on, it's easy to see how they lost this one. Looking forward to the coming week to see how Drum and Seth get integrated.

Totally forgot Ky and Seth have history.

Kyrie also said that him and Ben go back too. And Ben calls Patty "big bro". The chemistry should be much better on the team now. Can't wait.

 

[shuges]

And why does Kessler and Dayron Sharpe keep getting their **** punched at the rim?

This frustrates me so much!

I'm always yelling for Clax or Day to go up stronger. Drum doesn't have that problem so maybe they learn a thing or two from him with that.

Kyrie has taken a nosedive since the news broke. Something seems to have happened behind the scenes between him and Harden. I don't know that 100% but both of them suddenly started having bad games at the SAME TIME that the news came out. It's like one of them accused the other of something and they've been indifferent to each other ever since.

Spoiler

So a bunch of reports are suddenly coming out that Kyrie and Harden have had legit issues. It explains a lot. Not sure what's true or not. But I do believe the one about Harden stepping to KI about the vaccine. Kyrie sort of alluded to that in his presser last night. Kyrie himself also said "the few times we spoke" when reporters asked about him and Harden a few days ago. I also believe the one about KD and Nash disagreeing with the playing style Harden wanted to go with. EZMONEY SERVANT pointed that one out a while ago.

I don't know if you guys saw the story Perk told about how KD and Harden hadn't spoken in years. He said that Beard wanted KD to come to Hou after GSW but that KD went to BKN with Kyrie and James went there to try and rebuild the friendship. He got frustrated with having did all of that to get out of HOU to come to BKN and get a ring but saw how KI was moving and wasn't feeling it. Suffice to say, KD and Harden weren't on the same page like KD and Kyrie.

There's also a report that Harden supposedly faked the hamstring injury.

And despite allllllllllll of that, Kyrie still only wanted to focus on PEACE after the game. He wished Harden well and reminded the media that Kyrie himself also once asked for a trade. So he won't judge the Beard at all. He wants all parties involved to be happy and I thought it was a mature response from Kyrie. Also loved how KD had a chance to throw Westbrook under the bus last night but didn't fall for the okie doke. Two leaders right there. Ben is in good hands and will be GREAT for the Nets.

I normally don't go too deep into the chatty patty stuff but wanted to highlight how Kyrie stays getting ****ted on but is still going out of his way to move on and maybe we as fans should too.

I was legit disappointed in Harden but realized that there's no point in projecting negative energy when we as Nets fans have other things to really be concerned over. Let's go Nets.

 

[krazy88s]

Here’s a link to an ESPN+ story about the trade. I’m sure there’s more

 

[shuges]

Reading that makes me wonder why Marks wasn't able to get Shake Milton or at least another pick or cash considerations or something. Seems like Morey was very desperate to make this happen and Marks kind of let him off the hook a little easy.

Hopefully Morey remembers it and returns the favor to Marks at some point down the road.

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

no mtter how much Marks says he was willing to roll with soften its a LIE. having a problem with KDs EGO ?!?!?!?!?!? look at what KD hs on the mantle....soften has an empty one, he HASNT ACOMPLISHED A Fn THING OTHER THAN BIGGEST POST SEASON CHOKER EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. AM I LYING ????

SO HE HAD TO GO PERIOD, prob why Milton or Tybulle wasnt in there MARKS DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO

IMHO now that the deadline is over ALL the rookies will play 1000 times better, more confident,they have no worries now, seems only Clax may

The Day KYRIE SMOKED softens *** 1 on 1 in practice over and over, THIS THING WAS ALL DONE, Ky hadnt been back for 2 weeks and HE made soften look like the CHUMP he is. Embiid IS GREAT soften cant play on a team where he isnt THE MAN

NETS NATION more upset that Bembry is gone than the CHOKER, AM I LYIN ?????????????????


Look for Ben10 to play the 24th in Kyries fav place, boston


PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[shuges]

look at what KD hs on the mantle....soften has an empty one, he HASNT ACOMPLISHED A Fn THING OTHER THAN BIGGEST POST SEASON CHOKER EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. AM I LYING ????

Nope, you sure ain't!

CP3 might be the only comp Harden has for that title.

NETS NATION more upset that Bembry is gone than the CHOKER, AM I LYIN ?????????????????

All facts.

 

[shuges]

And just for the record, people hate Kyrie for not being vaxxed but that's exactly what exposed Harden for being the sneaky infiltrator that he was.

Silver linings.

Also, Chicago just announced they will allow their mask AND vax mandates to expire at the end of Feb as long as the metrics meet the criteria (aka covid numbers continue to drop). Your move next Adams.

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

PATTY MILLS IS ONE OF THE BEST CATS A TEAM COULD EVER HOPE HAVING

Here’s Patty Mills’ full quote on Ben Simmons’ decision to withdraw from the Olympic campaign. It’s a strong statement; a mixture of disappointment, understanding, and support:

Patty isnt the best player on the team BUT HE IS THE MOST VALUABLE


I think BEN chose # 10 cause HE the best Dime Dropper out there !!!!!!!!!!!!!

OYE OYE OYE

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

shuges K krazy88s Are Curry and Drummond playin tonight ??? any idea ???

 

[krazy88s]

Doubt it. Probably next game tho

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

>>> And just for the record, people hate Kyrie for not being vaxxed but that's exactly what exposed Harden for being the sneaky infiltrator that he was. <<<

is it funny to anyone that Kyrie is hated considering ALL THAT HE GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY ??? Domestic and Foreign. All the $$ and support ?? WAI WAI too many to list., yeah THATS the definition of selfish LMFAO.Hated for standing up for what HE believes in ? its funny to me, sad sad lost souls. Imagine if the only thing in life was basketball, Good Lord, to each their own eye guess

WHAT A HORRIBLE SELFISH HUMAN BEING
SHAME ON YOU KYRIE ANDREW IRVING




DISPICABLE




Yeah enough already this Irving cat makes me SICK






When the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

>>> And Ben calls Patty "big bro" <<<

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

Doubt it. Probably next game tho

correct Sir ! tha blob didnt show up for his physical, was no line at golden coral so , well...........you know

 

[shuges]

EZMONEY SERVANT you on fire today!

You summed up Kyrie's good deeds quite well. So I'm just gonna add this:



Funny how the pawnz just a year ago were praising him in that tweet and now all of a sudden he's the most selfish person on the planet.

Kyrie doesn't need me to defend him but there is BALANCE. None of us are perfect and you take the good with the bad in each friendship/relationship you form. I understand everyone's frustration with Kyrie not being vaxxed. I really do. I get why Hard(SOFT)en was mad and I get why half the fans are pissed too. Kyrie marches to his own beat and ppl don't "get" him.

But you roll through the tough times with your friends/team bc brighter days are ALWAYS ahead and one day you can look back and say "it was tough, but WE got through it".

People say Ben quit. Maybe. But he checked out bc his teammates didn't want to roll with him through those tough times. That's why Harden will fit perfectly over in Philly. Bc now he can go join those finger-pointing, non supportive, blame deflectors over there. Trust me, it's not gonna take long before him and Embiid clash.

Nets Nation is in a much better position now and for the future. Let's get it.

 

[shuges]

All the best to these two. Have fun with that extension Philly.



274 million through 2026-27 is the max he can sign for.

Glad the Nets didn't get stuck with that tab.

As for Ben, the ONLY concern I have in the short term is what's his relationship with Drum and Seth? Bc if either of those two had any shade or negative comments about Ben during this whole ordeal, that might make things a bit awkward.

Other than that, Ben has low mileage at 25. Missed his 1st season and will miss like 2/3 of this season. That boy still hasn't hit his peak yet. Loved reading that he was thankful to the Nets for believing in him and had emotion in his voice when speaking to Marks and em.

Again, he's TWENTY-FIVE.

Philly was WILD to give up on him. One man's trash.....

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

PREACH GOOD SIR !!! your views r to say the least refreshing and help keep tha faith, jus sayin

never heard of Ben10 having issues with his teammates, just some personal issues he gotta work out and sounds like he is, to make light of THAT in any way is despicable, didnt k love and d derozan go through it too or still are???, nuthin but SUPPORT for cats who are dealin with that kinda thing NO MATTER WHO THEY PLAY FOR, unless its the wolf in sheeps clothing soften, jk jk even him.

good point on Ben10 and how he will mesh with AD and the BEST Curry who wears 30, these guys r pros so id imagine it wont be a problem, IF it is in any way, they gonna have to answer to THA REAPER ! lol


im tellin ya sir soften cat deal with NOT BEING THE MAN, MR Embiid will soon grow tired of it just like ALL THE REST HAVE and it wont be pretty, not a philly fan at all but feel bad for them, BAD MOVE. and when softy messes up in philly NOBODY will ever take a chance again.

KD PATTY AND KYRIE will REALLY help Simmons with any and everything and the basketball stuff wil just come natural, I KNOW he cant shoot but his defense is GREAT and now KD or Kyrie or anyone wont have to check the other teams best player BEN10 got that ish covered !!!

Patty likin that mia weather eye see

 

[shuges]

I feel like I can copy and paste one of my responses from the past few games: "I'm happy with the EFFORT but they just didn't have enough to pull out the win".

11 straight Ls.

After struggling, and I mean STRUGGLING for the first 3 quarters, Kyrie erupted in that 4th quarter. He looked preoccupied or disengaged or maybe just annoyed with the lack of foul calls early but he stuck with it and made it a game. His little leg injury didn't help either but definitely no excuses for him though. The execution on that last inbound play was college level. I haven't watched post game yet but I'm guessing Isola and the gang were wondering why Blake wasn't the inbounder. Cam was cooking which made it even more strange that he was the passer and not an outlet option. I don't know, I think Blake would have been the better choice to inbound there. But clearly Nash and the coaches must have seen something.

Speaking of Cam, that was one of the best all around games he played. He passed, he defended, and he scored smooth and easy. Love his production ever since Mr Softy started missing games. That's your guy (Cam) EZMONEY SERVANT !

Patty has been giving it his all but he looks like he really could use some rest. Same with Kess. BB with a -23 and Blake with a -27.

I really believe if Drum and Curry played, this would have been a W. Thanks a lot Mr Softy.

 

[shuges]

PREACH GOOD SIR !!! your views r to say the least refreshing and help keep tha faith, jus sayin

This thread has been great thanks largely to your positive posts. That positive energy is all the team asks from the fans. Good **** man.

never heard of Ben10 having issues with his teammates, just some personal issues he gotta work out and sounds like he is, to make light of THAT in any way is despicable, didnt k love and d derozan go through it too or still are???, nuthin but SUPPORT for cats who are dealin with that kinda thing NO MATTER WHO THEY PLAY FOR, unless its the wolf in sheeps clothing soften, jk jk even him.

Yeah, I 1000% agree, KD not gonna have that. I've seen more than enough of the negative and inappropriate posts about Ben and his mental health. Makes me SMH tbth. I really hope the best for him and that's something I've been saying since waaaayyyy before he was a Net.

im tellin ya sir soften cat deal with NOT BEING THE MAN, MR Embiid will soon grow tired of it just like ALL THE REST HAVE and it wont be pretty, not a philly fan at all but feel bad for them, BAD MOVE. and when softy messes up in philly NOBODY will ever take a chance again.

All facts up above.

I like Embiid and even Tobias. But yeah, SOFTEN will wear quickly on them. I posted a while back that they were the ONE team I fear the most in the east bc they have it all. But the Harden trade actually makes me fear them a little LESS now. Either way, I can't wait to see how the rest of this season unfolds.

Let's just all pray for good health for the team.

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

you are NOT lyin !!!! did Nash even have anyting to say in the huddle before the last inbounds ? goodness that was ugly

starting to believe Cam playes better when hes mad/angry, and i dig it

If thts the best the east has to offer ima REALLY not too concerned, other than jimmy buckets and bam tha man they aint nuthin special at all, play real well together though and Spo is GREAT, without him they are middle of the pack

no moral victories here but Mr Irving showed us whats possible, the more HE in there the opponent suffers, He cant be stopped, only hope to be contained, lotta hope

I THINK you r right Patty NEEDS some rest, HE is still so high energy and the obvious leader out there but HIS legs arent there, and now HE doesnt even get AS weekend off casue HE bout to win the 3 pt contest !

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet IF Seth and Dre were there last night it woulda been 1000 times different, and softy got the physical at around 8 30 B**CH move obviously timing was on purpose, OT that when pat and genos closes, u know thats where he was !!!

usually dont post these but here is KIs postgame GOOD GOOD stuff and HE even drops a "PUPPETEERS" LMFAO !!! GOD BLESS HIM !!!



thats 4th qtr honestly made last nite one of my fav games of the year, ima stan though so yeah

Mondai should be fun with the new blood

Looks like KD will be back after AS break

PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE

 

[shuges]

I wish Kyrie would just say NEXT QUESTION everytime Nick PUPPETEER Freidell asks him about getting the vaccine.

Yes, Nick is doing his job but it's VERY clear that he's fishing for content for the machine (BSPN).

I'm more interested to hear what Kyrie's thoughts are on the last play drawn up.... or what was the reason for him being so cold through the first 3 quarters, was it the MIA defense or something else... has he been able to talk to the new acquisitions about team philosophies.... does he amaze himself when he does stuff like dribble through 4 Heat defenders for a layup.... ****, a question about getting to be in the Miami weather vs NYC right now would have been more interesting than yet ANOTHER "are you getting vaxxed" question.

It would be a lot simpler if people would accept the fact that he is likely NEVER GETTING VAXXED. Be happy that the numbers have dropped dramatically and let's put our focus on how to better deal with any future variants. But NOPE, everybody has to cling to the Kyrie is selfish narrative. This is why sports annoy me sometimes. People hold a logo or an organization in higher regard than their own mother it seems. It baffles me that ppl seem to always see things ONE way until THEY themselves get put in a similar situation. And then all of a sudden it's "why are you guys not understanding me".

Again, I put some of this on Tsai. Tonight was the first time I heard Ryan and Sarah REALLY emphasize on the broadcast how unfair the mandate is for NY home team players. Tsai can easily request Nets PR to make mention of that **** during broadcasts EVERY GAME (just like those Bruce Brown vaxxed commercials) so that more people realize how *** backwards the NY mandates are.

Tsai is for the vaxx... but signed off on bringing Ky back... but won't press the politicians to lift the mandate... make up your mind, b.

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

EXACTLY !!!!! THEY want to concentrate on asking DUMB ?s over and over and over instead of poitning out , mentioning or discussing the drop in numbers, but thats a positive thing and doest sell their papers or get clicks, fuggin pawnz

i also would have liked to hear what Kyrie thought changed after 3 qtrs, but that woulda been hoop related so thats too much for the puppeteerzzzzz also

If HE got vaxxed these idiots wouldnt have a reason to shop up after the game, its all thye think about, FREE RENT seemingly

Tsai is NOT MY guy, Marks is the tops to me, Tsai i could live without, dont wanna be mean though, lol

Whats up with this ?!??!?!?! WEEKS ?!?!?!?!?......................



I just was hearing about 1 week after AS break not weeks
