That was insanely good tanking from the Nets. Legit did everything possible to lose after blowing us out to start the fourth. We are so bad it didn’t even feel a bit fulfilling to get that W.

I mean yall don’t have your 1st this year so a W should help

atownOTP | Hawks

It should but it looks like we are locked into that 9 or 10 seed. Honestly I care more about the Spurs not getting a top pick from us than anything that happens during the season.

Yeah surprising that the Spurs owning that unprotected 1st has not been talked about at all.

Imagine if the Hawks’ pick jumped the Pelicans’ one in the lottery this year lol

Is it cope if I say that the Nets didn’t lose this game on purpose? They put in their starters (MPJ included) to close the game and let Claxton play 31 minutes despite him being on a minutes restriction. I’d say that our last win againts the Jazz was a much more blatant example of tanking

Absolutely beautiful ethical tank job by the team there

Ethical tank job. We put the starters back in and they go on a run. Basketball gods rewarding us.

I’m pretty sure Jordi started telling y’all to miss shots on purpose because you were diddling us in the paint all game and then started chucking up the worst shots I’ve ever seen

BasedGodProdigy | Nets

Those are very normal MPJ shots to be fair lol they just haven’t been going in the last few games

Didnt even have to bench starters to tank like other teams. That one was for you Adam Silver

They definitely didn’t throw the game. If they were doing that they wouldn’t have gone up by 11 when they did. Our two 19 year olds in the backcourt just showed their inexperience and couldn’t close.

We’ve been trading away our 1sts for over a decade in order to try and win, if anyone’s earned the right to throw games it’s us lmao

We played our starters to the end, you are very stupid if you think MPJ and the starters are losing games on purpose so they can lose shots to a rookie next year.

Sure. Is that not the exact type of team that needs a high draft pick to inject some offense and life into the team? We’re fresh off an attempt to win a championship that didn’t go our way and are playing 4-5 rookies every night.

It’s not like we’re resting starters or 19 year olds to ensure losses. We just get out-talented by teams with more talent when the game gets gritty and slows down. Traore and Demin at 19 years aren’t closing out teams, what a fucking horror.

Get a grip dude

This is sadly a result of the way basketball functions as a sport, as well as the death of free agency. You need a superstar to win a title. That’s always been the case. This isn’t like the NFL where you can win a SB with good roster construction. It’d be nice to live in a world where the 2015 Hawks actually had a shot, but that sadly isn’t the case.

Free agency isn’t an option anymore because of the supermax. We also live in an era where players care more about money than they do about winning.

The only way to land superstar players these days is the draft, and unless you get extremely lucky and walk ass backwards into a Jokic, Brunson, or Giannis type player that nobody believes in on draft night, you need to get the highest pick possible.

I’d love if basketball worked like football, but it doesn’t. This is sadly the only option.

Nets challenging the Jazz in the most blatant tanking wtf was that?

Brooklyn917 | Nets

Claxton turned his ankle 2 games ago and is already back in the rotation. He was supposed to be on a minutes restriction he played 31 minutes.

The Nets are not tanking, they are just an incredible young team with no Shot creators relying on MPJ’s tough shotmaking for offense.

They are NOT like The Kings, Pacers, Wizards, and Jazz in the tank. They don’t need to bench guys in the 4th or give them fake injuries to lose these games.

I don’t know who’s gonna tell Mike but his Js just not going to fall if he’s not 100% healthy. No amount of biblical quotes could fix that. Just sit out and rehab. This is also the reason why his scoring performance drops deep into playoffs. I don’t know if it’s the knee like this time or some hidden issues tied to the back problem. Could still do other things tho but won’t be able to make jump shots because his jumpshooting unfortunately requires highest level of calibration. It’s miserable and depressing to watch. Just sad.

I still think Nets should trade him this summer to a slightly older team. Would love for him to be in New York but I don’t see how this situation could improve over one draft. Brooklyn could get another pick back to take time with rebuild around the potential cornerstone.

Bad news, we probably missed on all five 1sts

the brooklyn nets should be fined for that performance because their players were actively throwing away the game

We probably wouldn’t be tanking if we were handed top 4 picks three years in a row
