The Official 2016-2017 Brooklyn Nets Season Watch Thread (20-62, #1)

[LarBrd33]

They are only 22 games under .500.  Let's not get too excited.

[csfansince60s]

We are all so excited... 

Can you imagine how Nets fans feel right now? LOL.

 As much as I am enjoying their losing, I feel really bad for them. Their fans did nothing to deserve this.

Knicks fans, Philly fans, Lakers fans, Cavaliers fans and Warriors fans, I'd be gloating.

Here I'm just thrilled for us and genuinely feel bad for them.

crap happens.  we didn't deserve what happened with Bias or Reggie yet it did.  we really didn't deserve to have Reggie's salary count against our cap either.  we also didn't deserve KG's injury in 2009 nor Perk's injury in the 2010 finals.

what they're enduring now is self inflicted by their management.

That's the one I am still bitter about. That was all on Stern and his anti-Celtics bias.

I wonder what their fans said at the time of the trade. I really didn't think about their fans but I hear you, I would hate to be them.

Oh please,  while I have a hard time imagining that the Brooklyn Nets have fans, they definitely deserve this if they exist.

They probably go to the games and cheer for their team "in an ironic way."

On a mobile, so I don't know if this link will work but, apparently, Lin was on a Chinese news show last night and " hopes to be back within 1 to 2 weeks. "

What is 1-2 weeks in basketball time?

Let's hope Lin misses 1 or 2 of those Heat games.  If Dragic and Whiteside suit up, those are winnable games for the Heat and will officially bury the Nets for the rest of the season.

I completely agree (If it were the Lakers, maaan would I gloat.)
From what I see on the Nets blogs, their fans are very loyal and passionate about the team.  They are in a bad way right now and for the foreseeable future, yet the blogs are still very active and they were really pulling for their trashy players last year and this season. 

I hope the Celtics never get snookered like Prokhorov & Billy King did. 
Gotta suck watching a 50 win division rival get lottery pick after lottery pick while you're in last place. 

They do have a glimmer of hope though, their g.m. Sean Marks made a nice draft pick this year with Caris LaVert.  He looks promising, could be their future.

I live in Brooklyn and work a 5 minute walk from the Barclays center, let me break down Nets fans for you.

75% People who want to wear black jerseys and hats.
20% Band wagoners who wanted to get in at the bottom floor of what looked to be a competitive franchise before Dwill's attitude and Lopez's foot.
5% Real fans who used to watch Kmart and Kidd.

The whole fan base rides the same taxi to the games

Yeah, whatever you do.. DO NOT go over to NetsDaily. You will actually want to give the poor souls the pick back with how bleak the situation is.

SAT question for the day:

Black is to White as Isaiah Thomas is to [blank] in the fourth quarter.

No multiple choices necessary.

[SCeltic34]

Toronto was only up 1 going into the 4th but they put up a 42 point 4th quarter.  42 points to Brooklyn's 24.

I admit, I still get annoyed when good teams are losing or only hold marginal leads against the Nets going into the 4th, knowing that there's a very likely chance the Nets will put up a horrible 4th and lose the game. 

Nets now on pace to win 17 games.

[Emmette Bryant]

I was watching the Nets on my Ipad while I watched the Celtics on the TV.  The Nets game was really tight up to the 4th quarter.  Now they're getting processed.

Now that I think about it, that's what happens in every Nets game.
