pretty much every free stream went down at the start of the bos/cle game due to the nba patching a league pass exploit. may have had something to do with it

(The absence of cameras, Zirin said, deprived the world of seeing Popovich and West sing a duet of “Soul Man.”)

relieving tension, essential oils, things of that nature

do you guys think jaylen brown is secretly a little mad at jayson tatum for having a name that starts with jay- and being better than him

definitely

thoughts and prayers

going to celtics nets tonite at barclays

Nice

Curry of the Steph

45-6-3-3 in 30 minutes 3rd q just started don’t think he’s gonna play in the 4th

*4th q just started

he needs to go for 60

He’s probably have like 10 60-70 point games if he ever played 4th qs

coach steve shd not deny us this

Barclays is way nicer than the garden

also it's like all Celtics fans here heh

ive been to a number of nets games and their fans are the saddest its all ppl who make the conscious decision to "get into the nets" when they moved to bk but then theyve just always sucked lol

some bizarre pantomime, lots of ppl showing up late and leaving early

as soon as they moved to bk and released those boring-ass generic unis ppl should have known that getting into the nets was a terrible mistake.

I like the plain black and white aesthetic tbh

smart gettin buckets in a tied game 3:00 on the clock
I dont know if I love or hate the nets this year

the biggest mistake the nets made was not changing their name to break the karmic link to new jersey

^ agree i'm sure there are posts on here form back then where i was v much in favor of them changing the dumb name and cleaning the slate

like what is the nets brand but being a garbage heap bunch of losers from the state whose name is a joke

iirc correctly they were thinking abt changing it but then did some "market research" and concluded the name had good "brand recognition" smh

of course they prob wldve just picked some corny ass jay z reference anyway

100% they woulve been the brooklyn knights and it would have been dumb

its kind of shocking actually they didnt fully commit to brooklyn kitch

i wldve gone with "the brooklyn ethnic whites"

gosh

ha that article own

zach lowe's finest hour

swamp dragons is an insanely good name imo

oh yeah, of course

they should immediately be the swamp dragons now, they should do it mid-season

just come out unannounced in insane purple and teal unis replace all in game jay z songs with the boys are back in town and back in the new york groove

also stop being brooklyn

i've had a couple drinks but i think i can whip up this marketing plan by tomorrow

give out some free t-shirts with the majestic purple and red dragon from the swamp on them, people love free t-shirts, they will fall in love

added

cool lets get the ball rolling we cn prob get pc richard and sons to sponsor (regional brand humor)

I just feel bad for the nets now after seeing how nice an arena they got for a busted team

I like the idea of the 'Brooklyn Cats'. Not Wildcats or anything. Just cats.

guys i'm sure the nets will turn it around before long

yeah only 2 more years before they get to pick in the lottery again
