The Official 2016-2017 Brooklyn Nets Season Watch Thread (20-62, #1)

Houston has matched DMo's offer sheet per Woj. This was expected, but is a huge win nonetheless.

It's too bad the 2017 draft lacks bigs the caliber of Embiid, Towns, or Porzingis, because that is what we truly need the most.

TP Max, thanks for the news.

The Nets aren't just bad, but they're tying up a bunch of teams with good young cores that could be competition for us with bad cap deals.  Their offer sheets for DMo, Crabbe and that dude on Miami are all going to be real impediments going forward.  Thanks guys.

D-Mo's contract didn't have much in the way of guaranteed money beyond this season, so I don't think Houston will be impeded.  Tyler Johnson, on the other hand, will be an unpleasant contract for the Heat in two seasons.

Since Shaq and KG s departure

Way to long playing tiny IT ball.

Healthy Giles. Of course, the catch is that healthy Giles doesn't exactly exist.

Wizards is trailing against the Nets by 7. It's only 2nd quarter but I'm worried given how bad Wizard is.

[SHAQATTACK]

The tank is strong with Wizz

Didn't the Wizards sign Scott Brooks to a 5 year contract?  What a grievous mistake that was.  He's among the worst coaches in the NBA and it shows with this year's Wizards team, which has enough talent to be at the very minimum a .500 team.  They looked like a complete mess on defense in the 1st half, both in the half court and in transition.  D-League caliber.

[Quetzalcoatl]

The Wiz need to trade John Wall.  They are wasting a really good player's prime and they are losing out on draft position.  Just get some picks and move on.  Why are they trotting this team out?  It's really just sad at this point.

Wizards only down 9 now with 10 left in the 3rd. Please choke Brooklyn.

[trickybilly]

Watching Brooklyn and Jaylen only now...

[chambers]

Wizards coming back. Up by 5 points now, thats a 12 point swing thank god

[Vox_Populi]

Wizards were down by 18 in the 2nd. 15 at the half. Come back to win.

[trickybilly]

Washington. What a tough team to love.
