Nets stuff mostly. But also…other stuff

Skull is just sun bleached on the outside and half full inside. When you think about it though, worm poop is a *kind* of gray matter.

The worst thing about this is that Lucas was one of the few voices of in-depth Nets coverage on BS. We make do here, I think, posting from elsewhere, but it’s tough when you can’t get as engaged. But congrats to him man, such a great dude.

So here's the news. I have accepted a position with the Los Angeles Sparks' front office. I am excited beyond adequate words, really. I had to say a proper goodbye to my public work, and specifically to NetsDaily, though trust that I could not say it all: www.netsdaily.com/site-news/11...

I think, *think* if he locks in say 25% more on defense we will be in more games. Current efforts are not enough with a below average rim protector.

Randle’s offense is “messy.” He is quite skilled but has wildly fluctuating levels of effectiveness. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NetsWorld #BrooklynNets #NetsSky #JuliusRandle #NVA #NBASky

Hard disagree here. This team needs the steady hand of James Dolan on the tiller. Fire Leon Rose now, give JD a straight shot at improving the roster.

It’s not time to panic in New York. It’s not time to be overreacting, either. But everyone in the locker room has been talking about wanting the party to be over, so it is time to start playing that way. Free Column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

Long trip back from Maine so I didn’t see, but I’ll say this: Hali pulling the self dunk isn’t stuff they’d try if they knew they were gonna get laid out for it. I wonder how that’s gonna be received by the likes of Randle.

Far more of us than we'd care to admit are basically Schielke, but the Stroops are real, they don't look like stereotypical villains (Stroop's a pretty pathetic figure), and they're never, ever going to be brought around to understanding the evil inherent in their actions.

So through two games, I think one thing is super clear: MPJ & Randle need to step up and start guarding people if we are gonna win games. MPJ’s clearly not switched gears from his gap year last season. Randle is also playing like defense is optional. Dëmin is unable to stay in front of anyone.

There’s nobody coming to help. Literally, there’s no help anywhere. People need to acknowledge that “rotating” is required. Nobody is good enough on this team to take half their minutes as a little break. #NetsWorld

Honestly, as an out of touch Brooklynite I have no idea what the Cheesecake Factory is like, or how it’s perceived. I don’t understand the striations of fast casual chains. And that’s ok. “Did the audience understand the burn?” is all that matters.

W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social

I hate this noble savage shit so much. Americans do not think Cheesecake Factory is a nice and fancy restaurant. Just because people eat there because they can afford it does not mean they think it's nice. People aren't stupid. They know what a fancy restaurant is.

Oh hell yeah we have Beau on here?

NBABeau@nbabeau.bsky.social

If y’all have nominations for the NBA Top 10, send them my way tonight. Bluesky is the only platform where I take these in so do it right here.

I think it’s important to highlight a failing of liberal governments past here: we never promoted vaccines and their efficacy enough. Clearly these ghouls think they can get away with this. Why?

Obviously there wasn’t a ton to like, BUT the problems are so glaringly clear they should be easily addressed (and note I use “addressed” over “fixed”). POA defense and rim protection, IMO.

Steve Lichtenstein@netsjetsdevilsfan.bsky.social

Game 1 never defines a season, but it should serve as a wakeup call for the #Nets. It’s not going to be so easy for this team to level up when the rest of the league is also doing it. Link: stevelichtenstein.substack.com/p/an-early-w...

Literally every year, there's a team with little to no expectations that comes out and shows what they can do. The Nets have to think: why not us? And you know what? So do I.

Fifty years ago today, Julius Erving signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. It's hard to recapture how shocking this was, especially in the wake of the NBA-ABA merger. Dr. J was more myth than man then, having not been on TV much. Here's what I wrote in "Moses and the Doctor":

Whoa. WHOA. I believe it was @yourmandevine.bsky.social that put me on to Mr Miracle, and it's applicability to the newish dad's of the universe. I'm quite cautiously optimistic here....

There’s a lot of severely over-leveraged NBA owners at the moment. I think the Nets may have battened down the hatches and kept the lower decks. We may be able to do some salvage when boats start sinking.

The financial apocalypse about to hit America will coincide with OKC’s.

Shams Charania Tweets@shamsbot.bsky.social

Just in: Oklahoma City Thunder All-Defensive guard Cason Wallace has agreed to a five-year, $139 million rookie-scale contract extension, agents Jeff Schwartz, Max Lipsett and Marcus Monk of Excel Sports Management tell ESPN.

To be clear: OKC can and maybe SHOULD win a title this year. But the economy is about to give cheapskate owners a prepackaged excuse about the tax. (And no, it’s not a “luxury tax”. We need to have pro-tax policies.)

Shabazz is a good follow on these topics in particular.

Shabazz Stuart@shabazzstuart.bsky.social

Sharing the first of a few Oonee updates; as many of you know this year has been interesting but the good work must continue. We've begun pre-construction on the city's first Dutch-Style Bike Hub, that entails selecting a GC, confirming revised drawings and selecting components. More 🧵 ⬇️

So the frustration on defense sounds like it will be a through line vs teams with elite offensive talent. That’s ok, IMO. We don’t have the defensive anchor we need, but at least we know we’re gonna need a defensive anchor soon.

The Nets have, I believe, stopped sitting this POS courtside, or Floyd isn’t in town as much. And good riddance.

Floyd Mayweather is traveling with Donald Trump today, according to the White House pool

So, who is more invested than the Nets in terms of draft capital, absolutely praying on the downfall of a team whose picks they own? Milwaukee-Miami for sure…what are the other diads? Dyads? #NetsWorld

Joe Tsai would probably never. LOL. The Knicks are bad, folks. Bad for the City. Time to wake up and smell the pee outside Penn Station.

Noah Shachtman@noahshachtman.bsky.social

Looks like the $3 million + that James Dolan raised for pro-surveillance gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman wasn't enough. Dolan is holding a $10K/head fundraiser for him at MSG, per the @nypost.com. At a Knicks pre-season game.

Go get some.

Trump uses Omar as a heel in wrestling. The Federal Government as run by WWE. It’s all just kayfabe, with the caveat that real people die real deaths.

Ilhan Omar@ilhanmn.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Inherent here is the idea that anyone can have their citizenship questioned. That somehow you can live here for 40+ years and not be American. It’s downwind of the “one drop rule” and it’s just as evil.

Felipe De La Hoz@felipedlh.bsky.social

I’d seen mention of the raid, but Reuters reports it was related to the immigration paperwork her father filed decades ago. This is another salvo in the admin’s effort to indicate to every immigrant, whether they’ve since naturalized, whether they’ve become a member of Congress, that we aren’t safe

Why is she smiling so wide when saying “Nazi Germany”?
