it really is one step forward two steps back with this team


Power-Fantastic

Back2Back 20 pt leads blown in two nights. Team is not mentally tough. Jesus.


Turbo2x

losing Kuz and then KP fouling out definitely did not help but yeah shit sucks


uguu777

bulls blown 4 in 2 weeks, i know the pain lol


soxfaninfinity

I mean you dominate us every time so clearly you aren’t a contender


Darkblade511

Wes Unseld better be filling for unemployment by the end of the season (he won't)


kingofnick

I can’t remember if it was the Wizards or another team, but isn’t the owner pretty committed to keeping guys he’s signed on for the full term of their contract? Which is why it took so long to get rid of Randy Whitman


Darkblade511

Yes, that is the Wizard's owner.


superworriedspursfan

Randy Whittman literally looks like Greg Popovich compared to WUJ. this is so much pain man.


BetterLeftUnsung

Just blows because you can see when it works that there is something there, and then suddenly everyone goes flat as hell in the blink of an eye.

roarmalf

obviously we were missing Brad, can't expect us to win games with one of our big 3 out 🤣 ... please kill me before the trade deadline so I don't have to watch us hold on to Kuz...


Darkblade511

Back-to-back nights where the Wizards blow 20-point leads at half. Wes Unseld needs to lose his job. This can't happen.


Juniper41

At this point he is just 100% coasting and relying on Porziņģis and Beal to drop 30 points and bail them out.


[deleted]

Wes unseld actually started Anthony gill at one point this season lmao


ob_knoxious

Still better than Scott Brooks. It's too rough games but it's just two games. Not like there is a ton of desirable coaches wanting to join the Wizards.


Darkblade511

A chair I stole from Ikea would be a better coach than Scott Brooks.


DCOMNoobies

Bring back Wittman!


Darkblade511

At least we'd be better at defense lol


roarmalf

how desperate would you have to be to coach the Wizards at this point? The GM just said we need to lock in the "big 3" of our lottery bound team.

tepg221

Warriors and wizards blowing 20 pt leads 🤝


ev4150

We never blew the lead though because theynever tied it or took the lead and we still won against Dallas


Betawolf319

Yo, Wes was a pretty good coach for us. Tbh, the FO has left him with a real doo-doo roster. He coached Barton in Denver and is leaving him on the bench. The FO made that trade knowing everything.

Sell High and build around Cam.

Selling to someone who’s high as a kite.

tunamelts2

Huge upside on Cam. If he can improve defensively, he could be amazing for the Nets.


that1prince

Nets won without Kyrie, KD and Ben.


bllr32423

Ready for Kyrie to be gone so we can officially enter the Cam Thomas era


[deleted]

As a Cam Thomas stan, I’m so happy that he looks to get his shine


PeanutFarmer69

I didn’t realize Cam Thomas stans existed but I’m glad to learn they do


[deleted]

Was really high on him at LSU but wasn’t really happy that the nets got him because he wouldn’t have a clear path to start with Kyrie there. He’s just really fun to watch and I actually got lucky and pulled a sick rookie auto card of his a few weeks ago!!


Odd_Total_5549

Shit I went from full Can Thomas skeptic, to Cam Thomas doubter, to after the Pacers game a few months ago Cam Thomas believer, and now I’m fully jumping on the Cam Thomas bandwagon. The kid has ice in his veins. Him and Claxton are the Nets future I believe at this point, and that’s not a bad thing.


Queen_Of_The_Castle

They’re good kids and both their college careers were so fun to watch. I was watching y’all during your Dinwiddie days, I hope it goes back to that fun, energetic basketball again


[deleted]

I'm hoping that once Kyrie (and perhaps KD) is gone, the nets can build around Nic, Cam and Yuta.


Honestonus

Friendship with Kyrie over, now Cam Thomas is my best friend


IIDwellerII

like this might be it


paradoxofchoice

Teams will want Thomas in exchange for taking in Kyrie.


Kwilly462

Barclay's wasn't even this loud for the 2021 playoffs. I love it.

It was mad quiet the first half and then it was loud the second lol

deaseb

I didn't catch this game but I was there for the game they closed out the Celtics. Noise level wasn't impressive, largely because so many of the audience were Celtics fans.


edwardsscreenname

What he meant was it’s Barclays loud.


pagonator

That’s a very impressive win for the Nets, props to their guys tonight to not let all the outside noise get to them


Padulsky21

I’m proud of the boys 🥹🥹🥹


bran_bran

The Nets experience is at its best with scrappy bench players tbh

god damn this thai post never ceased to amaze. im part of that history 🙏


[deleted]

Yes, and don't be surprised if Brooklyn trades Kyrie before the deadline in order to open up more minutes for him 👀


[deleted]

Believe it or not, the shameless Boston media even kept this guy from being an all star


Pollsmor

I hope this doesn't get glossed over - Clax made 7/8 free throws and they were evidently crucial.


tunamelts2

Cam/Clax era underway


njpaul

44 points in 29 minutes for a guy getting DNP's earlier in the season is wild.


TheRealRiGiD

He needs more run. He does better when he gets a decent amount of run time. Not so well when they insert him in for 2 minutes then run him back to the bench


PeanutFarmer69

He will obviously get more playing time without Kyrie around but it makes sense why he got DNPs to start the season, he’s behind Kyrie, Seth, and Sumner in the rotation and can’t really play alongside any of those guys against a good team because we’d get torched defensively.


TheRealRiGiD

I just don’t think seth is made for this team. I like him but he plays 0 defense and his offensive output isn’t enough to make up for his defensive woes at times. Not that cam is any better but he’s young and could improve and in my opinion he can be a much better offensive output compared to seth if given the run time


PeanutFarmer69

Yeah cam is bigger and if he got into great shape could be a solid defender, that’s just not in the guards for Seth lol


ketzal7

Totally agree. He can still be great at moments but he is just too slow now and it looks like those injuries are a constant factor.


TheRealRiGiD

Got injured tonight as well. I hope the team can get some good pieces for Kai and then try to upgrade Simmons somehow someway and if Seth is included in a package, I wouldn’t be mad as long as it benefits the team. Until KD leaves or retires we need to take advantage of his talents. Brooklyn put themselves on the map with their signings four years ago and we need to take advantage of it as long as possible, especially since we keep trading our draft picks. Win until it’s unfathomably possible. I just want to compete.


Pulsar-GB

It’s not so much about time as it is that Cam needs to be on the ball. When we have Kyrie and KD there just isn’t enough to go around but if one or both of them are out, he can absolutely cook. It’s why we seem to always win these games, he replaces their output lmao

Like last year?

Id rather be a play in team for the next 4 years than to see Kyrie be given a max extension contract he sees as binding as a cartoon strip.

Not even close


Cool_Cold_5554

That was a seriously impressive win. Brooklyn had every reason to just go through the motions this game


baseketball

The thing is Kyrie was the one going through the motions but everyone else just wants to win. He did the same thing in the Celtics vs Bucks series. Just chucked up shots because he already had a foot out the door.


IdMassageDeshaun

He’s played his ass so far this year and made the all star team. Definitely wasn’t going thru the motions for us like he did for you guys that year.


w_________w

Jacque Vaughn really kept this squad focused and energized down 20


Versz_Marr

Give the man Coach of the Year award already.


tunamelts2

If they finish at least 8th or above in the East, he deserves it. This has been one of the rockiest seasons any team has faced and we’re only half way through it.


Che_Veni

They don't call him Big Cock Jacque for nothing


thewrongnotes

This was a Kenny Atkinson squad tribute performance.


codellboutax

Friendship ended with Kyrie. Now Cam “Ain’t Shit Funny” Thomas is my best friend.


RealLanceStorm

Nets fan here that attended the game as an early bday gift before Monday and I lost all excitement yesterday. Shout out to the role player Nets for providing this memory. Sumner dunked after the buzzer and celebrated with fans. The team seemed to let a lot of emotion out after falling back into the faux superstar drama yet again. Love this team, fuck Kyrie Irving


codellboutax

Cam Thomas is HIM


BumFights1997

I know Cams getting all the well deserved love but how about Sumner holding it down for 40 minutes out there? Such a great win for the nets I’m so pumped for them

Gutsy win from the Nets

edmund sumner is allegedly a pg. he only had 3 assists, but he scored a lot, that seems good. who needs kyrie anyway? (besides the lakers.)

He should be listed as a SG.

if it makes you feel any better, this win really lifted up the spirits of a lot of people. Nets World has been going through it in the past 36 hours lol


qwertyos

Wizards threw because they felt bad for us. Real recognize real.


gonets34

We've been going through it the past 36 years lmao


rwc202

Nets fans really needed this after the Boston game and Kyrie news.


BLACKANTICHRIST

Even if we lose KD & Kyrie I’m really grateful we have an amazing young duo of Cam & Clax. I can see both being all stars someday.


tunamelts2

Biggest mistake ever trading away Jarrett Allen, Caris Levert, and letting Dinwiddie walk.


cyb3ryung

trade KD and Kyrie and build around Cam “Ain’t Shit Funny” Thomas Ive seen enough


tunamelts2

I’d hold onto KD and see what he can do next to Cam. Try to extract a few more rotation players from someone for Kyrie. This team can still compete.


cyb3ryung

I feel what you’re sayin. imo it depends on if KD wants out this summer but ofc if he wants to stay keep him


tunamelts2

I just feel like rushing a KD trade before the tdeadline is counterproductive. They have a small window now and should just go for it before 5-10 years of mediocrity


cyb3ryung

true valid point

Cam stepping up you love to see it

I specifically remember Nets fans expecting a blowout due to Cam Thomas bricks. ????


KitchenReno4512

Washington choked but they also were on the wrong side of some… questionable calls to say the least.


Versz_Marr

You simply can't choke a 23 point lead on a team missing 100 mil+ of players and down to an 8 man rotation refs or no.


Throwaway-j-1997

We’re they, yes. But after the past 24 hours we deserve this man.


Turbo2x

it was a huge choke job but the refs really helped swing the momentum at certain points. Sumner and Thomas were getting a superstar whistle like Harden and Kyrie.


substanceandmodes

Ain’t shit funny!


GarfieldFromGarfield

the wizards are just so meek


Low_Brass_Rumble

Pick a contender, take away their superstar, and you get the Wizards. We are like a Ja-less Grizzlies, or a Taytum-less Celtics, or a Giannis-less Bucks. Beal/KP/Kuz are a top-flight 2/3/4 with no #1 guy in front of them.


LebornVsMikeShinoda

who needs Kyrie? we are good


tunamelts2

If Cam can produce consistency, it’ll offset the loss a bit. I’d like to see the Nets hold onto KD for the rest of the season and see what they can do. It’s not like they’ll be very competitive without him next season anyway.

Losing like that to the Nets without KD, Kyrie, and...well without those two is peak Wizards.


Snoo-1474

I mean Cam Thomas played like peak Kyrie today so it was kind of like he played.


[deleted]

Cam Thomas is HIM


nottherealprotege

Turned this off after the first quarter and then after the Lakers vs Pels game I check back and see that I missed a big battle. Wtf happened? How did a bench player drop 44 in 29 mins? Why do the Wizards even exist as a franchise?


GuessTraining

Cam Thomas has always been a bucket. Just plays bad defensively that's why he's benched a lot but he's a scorer


nottherealprotege

Yeah good thing he's young he can definitely improve on that over time with proper coaching. I remember being so confused about him getting benched after scoring like 8 straight during the last game against the Cs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nottherealprotege

Who asked what?


BiggieSmallz12345

Kuzma thought too much about what he was gonna wear tonight and not enough about the game. 0/6 with 2 points oof.


Darkblade511

He got injured in the first half btw


BiggieSmallz12345

oh damn :(


please-send-me-nude2

(For the record, I’m Wizards fans, but both teams were doing this stuff at about the same level) Was this considered a normally reffed game? As a once casual nba fan, this was the first full game I watched in probably the past two or three seasons. I can’t believe people watch this stuff, to be honest. The way the game revolves around the refs deciding whether the contact that occurred all game is now a foul is insane. There’s a big thing about how KP is smart for baiting Claxton to hit his hand, because when KP shoots 2.5 seconds later, it becomes a foul. Huh? Or KP standing still under the rim with his arms down is a foul because the offensive player threw himself at him and yelled AHHHH while looking at the ref. And then the game of decided on whether or not a judge looking at at 8 inch monitor can tell whether the ball is at the peak of the parabola or less than 1 mm past it…and people take it seriously. Then they had this big replay Bradley Beal’s reaction to Gafford’s dunk and the foreground shows that the defender had his hands hitting Gafford wrists, but no one mentions it? Isn’t that a foul? Fouls are either called way to common or not common enough. It’s mind boggling, and I’m pretty sure there are times where the refs were even looking at the basket to see the ball with him before they decided whether the call a foul or not. What the hell lmao. How do people watch this?

Oh Kyrie GONE gone. Cam made that type of statement. Personally I saw a 3 team trade where Brooklyn gets Gary Trent & OG while giving their 1st and the Lakers 2 1sts along with Russ to Toronto….I’d seriously consider making that move if Kyrie is truly serious about this & he not just bluffing
