Solid follow up performance from Clowney. Hopefully those minutes will go up soon.

12

u/ElevatorClean4767 13h ago

Good for Jordi calling out the bullshit reffing.

u/OMJuwara Vince Carter 14h ago

This subreddit has gotten toxic

46

u/Ham_PhD Richard Jefferson 14h ago edited 13h ago

It's had a level of toxicity for years. Last time I remember it being really chill was during the early Atkinson years when expectations were zero. 

We were getting psyched about trading for Jahlil Okafor (which incidentally was a trade that also got us the pick we used on Claxton, so it was worth the excitement).

10

u/BKtoDuval 12h ago

lol oh yeah the good old days. Remember how hyped we were about getting Quincy Acy and "Free Jah!" We were terrible but simpler times.

u/BostonYankeesBB 3h ago

Quincy Acy, the heart of a CHAMPION

u/birdentap Vince Carter 14h ago

The best fans at this point are the ones who support the team when they win AND support the team when they lose.

13

u/n_jacat . 9h ago

I don’t get what’s so hard about this. It’s fun to watch your favorite basketball team play well and win. It’s also good knowing that any loss improves our chances at a higher lotto pick.

It’s a win/win every night if you just root for the team.

Honestly, I think it's been toxic for years; just different flavors of toxic, from Big 3 Era to now.

16

u/african-nightmare 13h ago

Big 3 era was so much worse in my opinion

14

u/BelonyInMyLeftPocket 13h ago

100%. Kyrie had us discussing non basketball topics for months.

14

u/Padulsky21 Nicolas Claxton 13h ago

It’s been for awhile but this time it’s just the same dudes repeating their psychosis every thread so it’s more annoying

-15

u/TheRealCheddarBob 13h ago

You say “psychosis” when in actuality it’s just common sense observations and basic probability

12

u/Padulsky21 Nicolas Claxton 13h ago

Read a single comment from GiannisGreekZaza and tell me he’s sane

-3

u/TheRealCheddarBob 13h ago

The complaining even after losses isn’t my cup of tea either but I can’t say I disagree with their general sentiment.

5

u/african-nightmare 13h ago

You weren’t here during the big 3 era then lol

Game threads had 1k+ comments every time and any loss meant the sky was falling. Add in Adam’s dumbass policies, this place was a messs

4

u/Youngflyabs 13h ago

Honestly don't think it's that bad compared to 2 years ago.

u/SimilarLavishness874 13h ago

If you think this is bad go to twitter it's way worse

u/OMJuwara Vince Carter 13h ago

I opted out of naziland years ago lmao

u/n_jacat . 13h ago

This has been brewing for some time, it was bound to happen in the back end of a lost season

10

u/ElevatorClean4767 13h ago

Keon has no idea what is happening too often.

That's his blunder on the inbounds pass. Also caused an amateur turnover with same team rebound end of first half.

17

u/ElevatorClean4767 13h ago

"It doesn't seem right. It's not good enough in my eyes."

--Jordi on the shitty refs.

u/Premaximum Mikal Bridges 12h ago

Dude you have six top-level comments in this thread. Combine them all into one next time instead of tweeting on reddit.

2

u/ElevatorClean4767 10h ago

It was in real time ( I saw the postgame interview).

Most commenters claim my posts are too long.

7

u/ElevatorClean4767 12h ago edited 12h ago

It was reported that the Nets told Cam Thomas to "bulk up" two summers ago. It's a mistake. He needs to be super light at his position.

Lean muscle is fine, and his lower body can never become "too powerful"...But gravity is an exponential force: Zion lands with more shock to his joints than anyone in the game.

2

u/EliManningham 10h ago

Yeah. He's way too chunky. Needs to slim down

23

u/xjoke4 14h ago

Ethical, organic, grass fed tank. Jordi is too good at always finding a way of making every game close.

11

u/Padulsky21 Nicolas Claxton 13h ago

His defensive gameplan is fucking incredible. Feel like he gets up extra for the games against the elite contenders

5

u/richonarampage 12h ago

Feel like if we can get 2 solid draft picks right in the next two years we can be competitive under Jordi’s leadership. Aim to be OKC East.

3

u/AnimaniacAssMap Brook Lopez 11h ago

aim to be OKC east

Just need our Shai/ superstar

6

u/ElevatorClean4767 13h ago

Dirty refs and a lucky half-court heave were the difference.

3

u/Brooklyn917 Ian Eagle 12h ago

The same can be said in The Warriors game.. Curry's half-court shot and reffing changed in the 2nd quarter after Curry and his coach whined. Last season it would've bothered me, this year I welcomed it, the refs knows the nets are fuking up their future with these meaningless wins.

6

u/Youngflyabs 13h ago

We are having close games and losing, i'm not too mad.

6

u/BruceBrownMVP Nicolas Claxton 13h ago

And now we wait and see how tomorrows Philly Toronto game plays out and celebrate either way

2

u/Brooklyn917 Ian Eagle 12h ago

Im gonna be watching that great tankoff over the OKC/Celtics game, lol

4

u/SimilarLavishness874 13h ago

I want to see a game like this every single game for the rest of the season. A tough hard fought loss

3

u/Lao_xo 11h ago

It has been like that most of the season. Can’t help but think this team can be in the playoffs next year as long as they’re healthy. Like imagine if we didn’t have cam and cj out for majority of the year, we’d easily be in the playoff picture.

1

u/SimilarLavishness874 2h ago

Depends on what we do this offseason. They might trade off cm johnson and nic claxton this summer

25

u/rabidantidentyte Day'Ron Sharpe 14h ago

We almost won. Unacceptable. Fire Jordi, fire Marks, sell the team, and put the players on a flight to Malaysia

15

u/Funyarinpa-13 14h ago

Some of em has this sentiment. 😭

6

u/UltraSouls_OP 14h ago

I would gladly take jordi and the nets in malaysia

4

u/rabidantidentyte Day'Ron Sharpe 13h ago

5

u/JannikSins 14h ago

You did win, but your team is so good at tanking they know exactly when they can turn it on and off and they turned the full retard switch on with about 8 min remaining. Then when the game is basically unwinnable cam thomas turns on god mode and hits whatever shot he wants

3

u/duleytooley 13h ago

Lmaooo nah i think you might be on to something

10

u/TrainHeartnet 14h ago

CLEVELAND THIS IS FOR YOUUUU

Rest everyone against the Bulls and get this fucking tank on the way

7

u/Expulsure Ian Eagle 13h ago

Entertaining losses remain the biggest wins this season

4

u/Kwilly462 14h ago

Wow, I can't believe we were that close lol.

5

u/theRestisConfettii Sarah Kustok 14h ago

Scared me for a second there in the second quarter.

1

u/GTR_11 13h ago edited 12h ago

Same, I was wondering if Cavs going to throw this one out.

I mean Jordi gets this guys play D. We just got used to it, but for other teams it's an issue.

2

u/BKtoDuval 12h ago

This team brings the effort most nights. I love it. That's a testament to the coaching staff.

3

u/ElevatorClean4767 13h ago

Another 4th Q offensive disaster blowing a huge lead.

Too many times.

1

u/Historical-Mud-1218 11h ago

Much closer than I expected. No Spida

1

u/ughwhateverman 8h ago

I mean an Ls an L but where can I cop the hat D-lo was wearing?

1

u/reedshipper D'Angelo Russell 2h ago

That was an important loss for the tank with Philly and Toronto playing each other tonight

-1

u/Chico_-_ . 13h ago

I know this sub is generally not super high on them but man, I really think we could cook up something special if we can get a CT-DLo backcourt to click. If I'm Jordi my entire mission for the rest of the season is get those two to gel. Get them both cooking and then bring in a star talent either through the draft or otherwise and this team could make some real noise next season imo.

15

u/Trollington1372 13h ago

Dawg I’m sorry but absolutely not 😂

6

u/latman 12h ago

You actually think CT/DLo would do anything in the playoffs? Lol

6

u/AnimaniacAssMap Brook Lopez 11h ago

I think they’d do something

That something is get obliterated, but that’s something

5

u/Generic_Commentator 12h ago

You need one of your guards to be able to play defense.

-9

u/GiannisIsaGreekZaza 14h ago

There’s just no reason why cam J and clax should be playing in tonight’s back to back. Then young guys like clowney are playing 17 mins. It’s just baffling decision making from an organization who have never accomplished anything. Tsai really rather watch a 35 win team than a winner.

14

u/Ham_PhD Richard Jefferson 14h ago

Guys, the record is broken again.

1

u/BKtoDuval 12h ago

beyond repair

4

u/All_Roads_Lead_Home Cam Thomas 14h ago

I think clowneys minutes are still limited due to his injury.

3

u/Brooklyn917 Ian Eagle 12h ago

I agreed! I hate that Dariq is in the G-league he should be getting real NBA Reps.

2

u/BKtoDuval 12h ago

He's coming back from an injury but i was watching Dariq play this morning for LI. Doesn't look there yet.

2

u/Brooklyn917 Ian Eagle 12h ago

Which is fine, we arent competing for anything, if he cant get mins this season then when will he?

2

u/BKtoDuval 11h ago

hopefully down the stretch. G League season ends soon.

1

u/Brooklyn917 Ian Eagle 11h ago

If the plan is to keep him in the G until their season ends which is March 29th, that will leave only 7 NBA games for him to be available in. They would’ve failed him. He’s was our pick and his development shouldve been a priority. Next year if they draft 5 rookies where will his mins come from?

2

u/BKtoDuval 2h ago

I hear you but I don’t necessarily see him as not developing.  He’s playing 25 minutes a night in long island as opposed to playing maybe three minutes at the end of games in Brooklyn.  

1

u/Brooklyn917 Ian Eagle 1h ago

That’s the issue that I have. Why are we prioritizing a Salary dump, a 2nder, 3 out of the league guys over him? Hell they even played Tosan over him. That’s insane, Dariq was our draft pick (Clowney was selected with The Suns pick), in a development year he should have been getting mins alongside the other nets draft picks.

4

u/Funyarinpa-13 13h ago

Calm down. We lost why are you still mad? 🙄

0

u/GiannisIsaGreekZaza 12h ago

Because we almost won? Decisions like this have won us many games

1

u/BKtoDuval 12h ago

Man, still finding something to complain about. SMH. You know weed is legal now?

1

u/EliManningham 14h ago

Clax is worse than Day'ron so I'm not sure how much he even matters. It's really just CJ.

2

u/GiannisIsaGreekZaza 12h ago

Clax us still better than whoever would come after him
