    From the worst team to the best in two days. Hope they can keep this energy

  3. BelonyInMyLeftPocket

    Die by the three, live by the three

  6. aaknosom

    KNICKS LOSS, BROOKLYN WIN

    **GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEETS**

  7. ughwhateverman

    Good win. The Rockets are a mess and in transition right now and the Nets took full advantage

    Nic, Mikal, Spencer, Joe, and Royce were great tonight. On to the next

    Edit: I know it’s because of a brace but Mikal should def keep the wristband look going

  8. KingofthisShit

    3 game win streak, solid game, can’t complain about anything.

  9. Padulsky21

    No reason for this game to have 53 combined FTAs

    Noel rough around the edges but I like him. Clax can actually play reasonable minutes now and thrive. Don’t know why JV didn’t empty the bench either for garbage time.

  11. hcorr

    I’m not gonna lie. It sucks seeing cam being buried while we give curry the ability to play himself into another contract for another team. Like he’s leaving, why are we giving him minutes instead of developing cam.

  12. LinuxUbuntuOS

    This is the kinda Nets basketball I like seeing

  13. jkliverpool92

    Great win. Good to see Noel play and give Clax some rest. On to the Bucks

  14. codellboutax

    Oof another bad shooting night from DFS. Wonder what happened

  15. A_Polite_Noise

    For those of you not watching the YES broadcast, from Ryan Ruocco: Mikal Bridges is now the first player in NBA history to average 25pts or more in a 50/40/90 split in their first 10 games with a new team

    3 in a row is nice, even if they are weaker teams like the Bobcats and Celtics =P

    Things get a liiiiiittle bit tougher next game, but let’s keep the momentum going (somehow?)!

    *Let’s Go Nets!*

    **BROOKLYN!!!!!!!!!!**

  16. Historical-Mud-1218

    It’s official, Mikal is a star.

    A legit number 1/2 scorer.

  17. PeanutFarmer69

    If bridges keeps this shit up the rest of the season he should be an all nba player, he’s so good

  18. sabascastellon

    Mikal Brooklyn Bridges with another 30 burger. Love it. Let’s Go!!!!!!!!

  19. Greynevermatter19

    Bridges too good frfr, shout out to Clax

  20. depressedpr0phet

    A nine man rotation when we were up big against a tanking team is wild

  21. burner7221

    I’m so happy that the Knicks and Celtics whooped us so much that it forced JV to abandon the switch defense.

    Now Joe and Seth don’t get hunted and are able to contribute offensively.

  22. _Strategos_

    Didn’t catch the game, any reason Cam Thomas didn’t play?

  23. SixthFan

    KAL & CLAX flourishing as our future All Star Duo.

    I’m a happy Nets fan

  25. LandlockCruise

    Solid boring W. Plus the knicks lost to the Hornets. PRETTY GOOD NIGHT.

  26. xjoke4

    Loved what I saw out of Claxton, Bridges, Din, and Noel. I just can’t believe Cam didn’t get any mins and Joe and Seth both got 20+ this game.

  28. acmilan12345

    My favorite part about this game was the performances of the bench players.

    For this team to be good, we need guys like Joe, Seth, and Royce to perform well. Noel is also looking like a perfect addition.

  29. Cereal_for_dinner123

    How did Noel look? I’m not looking for any major contributions from him. I just want him to give us decent minutes on defense when Claxton is on the bench

  30. SuckaFreeRIP

    Mikal fucking Bridges geez louise Batman Gotham has a new hero

  31. CheetahWoods

    A very necessary win! Tough next 9 games coming up.

    CamT seems to be out of the rotation. Wouldn’t be surprised if Nets FO deals him away this offseason

  32. 14thBrooklyn

    Royce O’Neale had a helluva stat line … was on a plane for the game so didn’t watch. He look as good as his 11 pts and 11 rebounds sounds?

  33. TheNightRain68

    Doing pretty solid so far. Bucks gonna be a huge test

  34. gleeson630

    Why are the doomers here crapping on of the organization? They’re long gone or just don’t care if it’s not title chasing, power struggles, arguing etc.

    Culture is back. We had tough stretch which makes sense but the power of friendship is very real. We have a good 3 and D team and we build from here.

  35. LiaM_CS

    I thought we were done with giving Cam DNPs

    He really could’ve feasted against this terrible defense and built up his confidence more

  36. raidersclnj

    I am
    Gonna be JV for a second 2/3 of those wins came against the worst teams. Sorry I will not like this coach till he plays CT.

  37. AdviceEuphoric4852

    Didn’t really think that played that well and they won on the road by 22, man Houston is a wreck.

    Loved the statpadding from Bridges to get 30 points on a bad night. Need more Cam J usage and more Cam T minutes. No more Seth please. Cam and sumner will actually be on this team next year.

    Also nice to see claxton have a monster game, casuals online have been saying he was only good because of Durant.
