You sounded like Skip on that last sentence.

Brook Lopez is Batman on the Nets. DWill is Robin.

That would make JJ a batgirl?

Batgirl is pretty worthless but has a well known persona so it seems accurate.

LOL JJ catwoman...

Bryan do you like Skip? I mean he can be epic and funny but stupid at the same time...

They're all idiots, David Aldridge is great

By the way, I saw Craig Sager at the Olympics WITHOUT A SUIT, had to look 5 times in order to recognise him, highlight of the month.

Craig Sager is a true professional deep down.




^highlight of his career imo


I like the character of Skip Bayless. I watch him to be entertained, not to be informed. Him and Stephen A do a good job during the NBA season of keeping it lively.

I hope Shaq opens up more on TNT this year. He seemed to play it safe his rookie season. Time to let loose and rip some folks.

Obviously you can't learn shit from those 2...

Every once in awhile Stephen A will offer some insight into life, especially from the black perspective. I enjoy hearing his opinions on those matters. He's very fair and honest.

Skip is must see TV whenever LeBron screws up or chokes. Unfortunately those days are basically over now that LeBron is a full throttle beast. #FirmBeliever

2012 Rookies Too Much for Nets in Exhibition Finale
CPU BS and DWill's poor shooting doom Brooklyn


Deron Williams leads the break against the Rookies

An international exhibition tour that started in Argentina last Monday, proceeded to Spain on Wednesday and concluded in Boston on Friday on a sour note as the 2012 Rookies outlasted the Nets, 66-61. It was Brooklyn's worst performance of the preseason and the only time they were held under 70 points on the trip. Deron Williams struggled from the field, while his counterpart Austin Rivers scored 20 pts and grabbed 5 boards to lead the Rookies. Kidd-Gilchrist added 15 in the winning effort and Drummond dropped 8 pts. Number 1 overall pick Anthony Davis was held scoreless in 25 minutes but did grab 9 rebounds and block 3 shots. For the Nets and coach Bryan, the exhibition tour was a success overall but this loss definitely left a sour taste. The game against the Rookies marks the official end of the 2k12 era and training camp will begin upon 2k13 release so stay tuned for more news regarding that.

I was disappointed in our execution tonight on both ends. 61 points will never be good enough to win but I feel like the offense can and will be corrected in time. I see that as a chemistry issue mostly and this team hasn't been together long. Defensively we need to make a big improvement before #PremiereWeek. Overall it was a good trip and I learned some things about our team that will be useful going forward.

Player averages for the 3 game tour: (2-1 record)

Lopez: 15.3 PPG, 5.6 Rebs
Johnson: 13 PPG, 3 Rebs
GWallace: 8 PPG, 5 Rebs, 2 Blks
Humphries: 8.5 PPG, 6 Rebs
DWilliams: 8.7 PPG, 14.7 Asts, 3 Rebs, 4 TO's, 35% FG
Brooks: 7 PPG, 3 Rebs
Blatche: 6 PPG, 2 Rebs
Childress: 2.6 PPG, 12 MPG

damn. Nets will make at least semis in season 1 playoffs IMO

The Nets might be 1 year away from making a serious run. We'll see how things go and whether I can get a reasonable free agent to sign for the minimum or close to it. This team needs more depth in a hurry.

Once the OA is launched I will be busy working the phones.

"Play me, I'm better than Blatche and Humphries combined"

^He wasn't on the 2k12 roster I had. Maybe there's hope there.

Actually, the Nets are good in the front court. I got Reggie Evans too who I can play at the 4 or 5. I need another 2 or 3 desperately. McGrady would be ideal tbh but Pietrus or Michael Redd would work too.

Teletovic takes a great mugshot

Pietrus knocking at Jay-z's door...

Mirza Teletovic>

The guy was a whit LeBron James in europe...

:lbj4:

^Sounds promising but you posted a YT vid of "the white DRose" and that guy sucked so my expectations are tempered. Teletovic will get a fair shake in training camp. There's a few minutes available at PF/SF. Can this guy play the 3? Since he's the white LeBron James and all?

He's basically Luis Scola with a lesser inside game but can hit 3s in succession. And obviously with less epic hair.

He's Ryan Anderson. Period.

That can dunk and drive...

You guys have me excited about this guy. I figured this guy would be an after thought but he sounds like a contributor IRL and on 2k.

He's gonna be rated like a pos, book it
Valanciunas is rated 59 or sth, so this guy should be about 45, but then again it's 2k, JayZ Nets should be rated well.

Brooklyn Outlasts Warriors in The Bay
Balanced scoring and clutch plays from Dwill clinch the win


Gerald Wallace was terrific on Tuesday with 11 pts, 4 rebs, and a couple alleyoops

Both teams got off to a slow start but in the end the Nets rose to the occasion and scored the exhibition victory over the upstart Warriors 61-56 on Tuesday. Joe Johnson led a balanced scoring attack from Brooklyn with 13 pts. Gerald Wallace continues to have a strong camp and added 11 pts and 4 rebs. Humphries and Lopez contributed 6 pts each to the win and all-world PG Deron Williams added 9 pts, 9 asts, and 3 rebs to the winning effort, including a critical iso three with 45 seconds left.

Steph Curry led the Warriors with 14 pts.

Good win overall. We've been practicing mostly so it was good to get out and face a real opponent to see where we're at. Progress is being made but more still needs to occur. Considering we played without Blatche, Childress, and the proclaimed "Best player in Europe" and still won, is encouraging. We have a long ways to go but in time we can get there.

It is unknown if/when Brooklyn will play anymore preseason games. A date with Boston is likely. Otherwise, back to the practice floor. The Nets are 3-1 this preseason.
