Great fight by our kids. As the Capper pointed out during the broadcast, this really felt like an early regular season game. Real effort. Both teams wanted to win. And the Raptors’ main guys all played close to 35 minutes. If we get effort like this all season in BK, I’ll be happy. 🏀 #NetsWorld

Curious to see what your method lands on. Listened to the Ringer’s over/under predictions, and I think they all took the under on 19 wins, though I could be remembering wrong. Bill Simmons loves to troll our team and make “information poor” predix. His partners, including Zach Lowe, love Jordi, tho.

Back on the block!

Ah! Nets blow a defensive rotation off of a double team, and I think that will seal the Toronto win. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky

When Saraf uses his crossover dribble to get into the paint, good things generally happen. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky

Nets showing resolve throughout this fourth quarter. They’re up by one point with 2 minutes left 👏🏽 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky

Brooklyn Buckets @brooklynbuckets.bsky.social · 1d

Nets up by two with 7 minutes left. Saraf has found his on-switch in the second half! Nets finally starting to get their own layups and dunks. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky

Yet, somehow the Nets are trailing by only a bucket in the fourth—-despite the fact that the Raptors clearly really want this game. Toronto’s played their starters pretty big minutes. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky

Layup, dunk, layup, dunk…. Raptors killing us with their paint points, 60-28 so far! Ugh.

What has happened to the Nets’ rim protection so far this preseason? Claxton and Sharpe used to block and challenge shots far more than I’ve been seeing so far. Our team looks short against everybody. But our centers, outside of Wolf aren’t new. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld

Oof

Brooklyn Buckets @brooklynbuckets.bsky.social · 1d

Nets ball handlers have combined for 11 turnovers, and we’re still in the third quarter. Also Clowney is tossing up brick after brick tonight. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky

Meanwhile, Toronto up by 18 points…. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky

Dëmin has drawn two fouls against Barnes’ pressure defense, and he has 11 points in 7 minutes so far. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky #EgorDemin

Brooklyn Buckets @brooklynbuckets.bsky.social · 1d

And he just ripped the net with a three. His shot looks quite good.

This is going to be a LONG, ROUGH season. We will all need to lean on the game-within-the-game most nights (aka the development of our young guys). 😓 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky

Dëmin now gets his first Brooklyn bucket ❗️😉 via a nice baseline cut and a dish from Cam Thomas 💪🏽 Then, next possession, Egor gets fouled taking a three. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #EgorDemin #CamThomas #NBASky #NetsSky

Brooklyn Buckets @brooklynbuckets.bsky.social · 1d

Has one assist, one rebound and one block in his first 2 minutes on the court.

Brooklyn Buckets @brooklynbuckets.bsky.social · 1d

Dëmin has entered the game! 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NetsSky #NBASky

Raptors physically dominating the Nets as this quarter closes out. Pulling away. They’ve been sent to the line 13 times to 0 for Brooklyn. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NetsSky #NBASky

Brooklyn Buckets @brooklynbuckets.bsky.social · 1d

Early Dick sighting! 😉 Nets were only down one bucket, briefly, after they finally started hitting their shots. Our PGs have really struggled against Toronto’s pressure, though. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky

And right after I posted that, he missed a layup. Lol

Brooklyn Buckets @brooklynbuckets.bsky.social · 1d

Porter is shooting lights out in the early going, though 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky
