Trying to have optimism as a Nets fan in 2026:

Happy Halloween Nets World! Remember the Scary Hours of Kyrie, KD and Harden? Well, those are long gone now and were mired in the doldrums built by Joseph and Sean. *sigh*

My guy Jordi has his ticket for the Traore Train

Asked Jordi Fernandez why he moved Nolan Traore into the starting lineup: “Our shot selection was not great, and we had a lot of turnovers. I felt like Nolan would help settle the group. I see Egor as more of an off-ball gravity guy who can also handle. I think his superpower is to shoot the ball, to come off screens, to make decisions... The true point guards, to me, are Nolan and Mikel. And right now, if they play first and second unit, I think that gives us [better] shot quality and fewer turnovers. So that was the intention of that change, and I think it went well."

How much patience do Nets fans have left for Sean Marks?

The Nets are going to be the worst defense in the league this season. Funnily enough, it’s not just the rim protection, it’s soooo many other things.

I can’t remember a rookie as talented and with as much promise as Mikel Brown Jr. He makes the right pass and can hit a clutch shot when the moment calls for it. The kid is a leader, straight up and oozes star potential.

There was a poise and control Nolan Traore played with against a solid outfit in the Celtics last night. He can obviously get to the paint at will but he’s now combining that with shotmaking and playmaking to boot. All aboard the Traore Train everyone!

I LOVE that Jordi put the ball in Mikel Brown Jr’s hands here. The result may not have been what we wanted but the decision and moment is going to be great for his growth. I’m supremely confident this kid is made of the right stuff, he’ll learn from it.

Nolan Traore cooking the Celtics is bigger than life itself

People say they're about this game-watching life, but are they talking about Nolan Traore scoring nine points in a quarter, blasting through the teeth of the Celtics' defense with a strong left-hand drive? No. They probably have something else going on. Pretty understandable.

It’s very concerning they chose so many players with redundant skillsets and the fact that 3 of them are not even in the rotation is alarming

“The decision to take five picks could cost Sean Marks his job.” Am I overreacting and is it too early to judge on Marks’ decision around the ‘25 draft? Apple: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7Em…

I support giving the young guys time and more runway to improve. When it comes to the team and franchise as a whole it feels as if it’s been a decade of incompetence under Joseph and Sean.

I would implore any Net fan to give this 20 games. If we hit the quarter mark and it’s still like this, I get it. But I’ve seen enough from Mikel and Egor to think these guys are gonna be fine once Mikel gets the go ahead.

There are SO many things wrong with the Nets franchise right now and so few bright spots. It’s hard to name another team (maybe the Clippers) that has less going for it. The predicament we’re currently is squarely on Sean Marks and Joe Tsai. Where to now? F***ed if I know.

The Nets are a dumpster fire of a franchise. What’s the solution to it all?
