The Official NBA Season Thread: Kings Fire Mike Brown

[frshstunna]

Was support even a problem for the Nets in the first place?

Russian money and the new arena on Atlantic Ave was the reason for the move IIRC (Which I might not).

Yea it was a money grab ….New arena and real estate in the city boosts the value, everybody knows NYC is a Knicks town….The only way they move back to Jersey is another new arena tho

Jersey Nets seemed to have support if they were good and had some long time established fans with pride…Neither of those in BK, it’s a place to watch the visiting teams if you can’t make it to the Garden

Right. Seemed similar to the Clippers situation to me. There was a dedicated, but relatively small group of Nets fans that would come out no matter what. And then if they happened to be good and/or have exciting players, the building would get more full.

Knockout round of the IST is Monday-Tuesday. The teams didn't qualify play Wednesday-Friday.

Looking forward to the intensity of those games. IST was a success.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Top 10 in no particular order..

Jok
Yanni
Embiid
Tatum
Curry
Book
KD
Bron
Luka
SGA

Starfox and Ant knocking on the door.

Feel like that’s gotta be almost consensus?

Stringer and AD.

We gotta expand the top lists to 15.

Can't remember the Nets attendance in Newark, but they got little support when they were playing in East Rutherford in the 90s and early 00s. But I think it was because that arena was a dump and middle of no where.

Stringer and AD.

Gotta expand to whatever number so Jalen Brunson can be included.

I know you said no order but why is Bron so far down.

Once they get a sponsor/presenter and sell it in the tv deal.

Top 15 works then

 

[rolaholic]

They tried to say he was better than Bam

 

[pmatic]

Think AD remembered the coaches picking JJJ over him for the All-Star game when he took it to him last week too.

very true. right in the middle of nj marshlands with all kinds of chemical and industrial factories and multiple highway intersections surrounding it. took effort to get to and to get out of

Horrible area. MetLife Stadium itself is the most grey, corporate, soulless stadium in the world and it's surrounded by parking lot.

 

[storm2006]

My New Yorkers and folks who visited - do you enjoy Barclays or MSG more? They have been different experiences and have had great memories at both. I think I know what the responses might be but IMO they both have their benefits

 

[B Sox]

I think MetLife is my least favorite arena/stadium I’ve been to. Awful.

If you didn’t know you would think this a picture of somewhere in Nebraska, not an NYC area team

 

[B Sox]

Jimmy Butler over sga

Jimmy definitely in the convo. Feel like I’ve always liked him more than most on here.

Just find it hard to put him over SGA when he isn’t even remotely close to him from a numbers perspective. And their teams are just as good.

 

[pmatic]

Jimmy the most confusing star of this era. Misses games because of injuries, puts up All-Star caliber numbers while being on cruise control during the regular season, then raises his play to being a top five player in the playoffs.

I prefer MSG the energy in the building was awesome. I also always look forward to hitting up the steak sandwhich vendor.

Barclays was cool but I did not enjoy it due to the fact my seats where nosebleeds and I have a fear of heights. I was uncomfortable the whole game. I love food and I had a friend that was at the game that could get me me anything I wanted for free, I just had to meet them by the food vendor and I turned them down. There was no way I was leaving my seat to come back to these scary seats again.

no one cares about new jersey, man

im from california and even i know new jersey is irrelevant

 

[amitt5504]

Jimmy Butler over sga

I agree here.

 

[getback]

When you drive Jersey turnpike you definitely gotta keep the windows up. Even then you're still gonna smell New Jersey.

Been killing it.

Phoenix is also 7-0 since Book came back...
