NFT: brooklyn nets fans check in?

for the 7 of us - bridges has obviously been a revelation but now wins in 5 out of 6. 2 great close outs on the road despite some bad whistles, today in denver, couple days ago in minny. had the big come back vs boston. loss was vs miwaukee with basically their d league team (and no giannis). what's notable is they were down double digits in a lot of these games and had enough firepower to come back and not just win the games but grab their own double digit leads.

dinwiddie with probably the best 2 games he's played as a net.

everyone looking better since jv tightened the rotation, even harris.

dont think they can beat any of the top 3 seeds but the defense is getting big stops and they have a ton of shooting. they'd be a great ncaa tournament team.

Caught the 4th. Great win.

Vaughn is a helluva coach.

it's weird bc i think most net fans grade JV on a negative curve and were disappointed in his extension. they (we) largely lionize atkinson, who was a good player developer but never really accomplished much. meanwhile JV took over the team in the bubble and over-achieved, then took over post-Nash with KD and turned things around, and now he's overachieving again with this new group post-deadline.

i dont know how good of a coach he is but i do know he deserves the chance. he's got the same SAS background ime had with a lot less baggage.
Looking good right now.....

a very fun team to root for. I think the NETs need that one superstar to push them over the top, but that’ll be in the off-season. Right now I think they’ll be a tough out in the playoffs. Not a championship team, but will be competitive.

hard to foresee who the next super star is that hits the trade demand market, and hard to see it being anyone good enough to really get them over the top but who knows.

i think id rather see sean marks try to package some picks and cam thomas to get a top 10 pick. he's been a great drafter without lotto picks, would be nice to see him up for a good pick to add a real good young player if there's someone he likes.

would also be open to some kind of simmons for fvv s&t.
Been fun to watch.

A much easier team to root for. Would be nice to grab the 5 seed and avoid the top 3, who I agree we can't compete with. Interesting to see what they do with Cam Thomas. Pretty clear they want to build around Bridges and Claxton.

Did well- they struggled post trade- but as you said tightened things up and now doing a good job it seems
Overall he’s a solid guy and sets a good example
Bridges is just excellent
And between claxton Thomas and finney you have 3 good tough players- 2 of them young.
Dinwiddie a perfect guy to keep the spot warm until they find another young pg
They look good
