  1. These are the type of losses that are so frustrating. Great effort just wayyyyyy too many offensive fouls

  2. Never_enough_Dolf

    The Nets could be up by 20 in the 4th and I’d still never have confidence they close it out

  3. NotBrandonNelsonV2

    When a shot like that goes in you know it’s over

  4. TheRealCheddarBob

    Shocking, another late game choke job to lose again

  5. HelloItsMeXeno

    Does JV ever draw up plays? My god. He just stands there and claps no matter whats going on in the game

  6. guccigirlswag

    Can’t be mad! They played so hard out there, just lost to black magic from a generational player. We’ll get better if we play as hard as that every night.

  7. TwinPeakyBlinders

    So we’re just gonna blow a fourth quarter lead every game huh. Nets basketball at its finest

  8. Decent_Scholar_3250

    Can someone give me a rundown. Missed the game. Saw we were up in the 4th what happened

  9. Byrinthion

    No one will remember those *god awful* ref calls but I will remember that 3 point bank shot for the whole season. I hate that this is going to be the theme of the season.

  10. shadow_spinner0

    This team won’t win a close game all year. We’re under-talented as it is and our coach is overthinking late game management.

  11. kumquat731

    Refs definitely didn’t help and Luka is a fucking monster but holy shit do we need to learn how to close out a fucking game or there’s gonna be a lot of nights just like this.

  12. TwerkSumLilBih

    Put ya big boy pants on, on too the next. Stop all that crying. We was like 0-7 last season before KD & KAI locked in for that 18-2 W/L run.

  13. shadow_spinner0

    Bridges has been underwhelming. He’s not as good as fans thought he was after last season. I’m also still waiting for this great defense he is supposed to provide.

  14. JohnFish2734

    Refs and Luka went crazy in the forth.

    Holly shit does it not make sense to not have Ben in the last 3 mins of a game

  15. ThePessimisticBella

    Great offensive game from the team, though!

    I hope we’ll lessen the offensive fouls and turnovers – these killed us even before Luka did.

  16. thepriceisonthecan

    Must be nice having an MVP level player on your team

  17. As we thought the spacing is better when we have only one player who can’t shoot on the floor

    Ben played more aggresevly as we need

    Dinwiddie is really good as a catch and shooter

    Bridges had many shots that looked good and bounced out he’ll be fine

    Too much Royce / DSJ minutes ?

    Good game from Lonnie and DFS

    Cam Thomas is really good at the orange ball sport and show good d

    Sad that we don’t got Gilles or Watford minutes

    Refs suck / Luka is a cheat code

  18. Strange-Committee-55

    The basketball gods favored the Mavs down the stretch.

  19. unitedairlineeeeees

    Same game as the other night. Same result too.

    We’re not going to win much if we can’t close.

  20. JV needs to stop overthinking the final minutes. The hockey-like substitutions aren’t working. Ben and Cam need to be on the floor at all times. Great effort by the team, Luka just went Luka mode.

  21. Kwilly462

    You can’t be mad at Brooklyn. Only be in awe of Luka. We did everything we could.

  22. Fucking Luka… I can’t even be mad because at least we’re witnessing a basketball god

  23. New_Weather_7611

    Jesus Christ. That’s all you can say.

    We don’t have closer. We can keep games close but we don’t have a Mitchell or Luka. That’s the bottom line. The Nets should have got Dame. Fuck the timeline. Bridges is 27. Cam is 28. This team has the role players and defense to compete now if we had a closer like Dame. We saw this in the first two games against two good teams.

    I hope Nets fans have heart medication because the last two games is the template for the rest of the year. Because we don’t have a closer.

  24. Key-Independence-413

    Proud of the way we fought. Disappointed in mikal. JV, stop subbing out cam Thomas in crunch time. On to the next one.

  25. Lets be real. What an upgrade from the first game. The only reason we lost was cause of those dumb fouls they decided to call on us.

    Also for those bitching about why Cam was being taken off. Its because he was being sonned by Luka.

  26. birdentap

    Honestly the last two games came down to the 1:00 of play and they lost both to circus 3 point shots. Not really mad about how they’re playing, jusy wish Ben would drive to the rim more.
