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
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
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
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
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
Has one assist, one rebound and one block in his first 2 minutes on the court.
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
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
Porter is shooting lights out in the early going, though 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky
Well… Nets looking dreadful at the start of this preseason game in Toronto. 😐 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NBA #NBAPreseason #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NBASky #NetsSky
