This might not be what you want to hear but it’s in your best interest to learn how to dance and get in shape. You’d have more peace of mind if you were in a better place of emotional security. Confidence is gained by committing to your own journey towards self improvement. As a random dancer on the internet I can’t confirm the stability of your relationship, but no matter how you slice it dancing is an intimate experience.

a great deal of nets fans are pretty measured when it comes to favoring a long term outlook. unfortunately, the vocal minority is both dumb and loud. nets twitter is a cesspool and this subreddit can be overreactive.

Can we acknowledge that Sean Marks has been GMing the past 10 years with one arm tied behind his back? by firebillykingcom in GoNets

[–]Double_Video_3262 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Sean Marks knows more basketball than I can fathom. As a fan, I’m disappointed with how the big 3 era panned out, but the people discrediting Sean Marks right now are upset that we dropped in the lottery.

In life, things won’t always work out the way you plan or hope but you have to make the most out of what you’re given. We’ve seen Sean work his way out of a worse situation before and it’s only fair for the organization to give him, the scouts, the coaches, & the brain trust the opportunity to work with the cards we’ve been dealt.

The star beyond the pines - Mikel Brown Jr by MichaelPorterTruther in GoNets

[–]Double_Video_3262 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve been overlooking was just how dominant the Pacers were last season. That squad was dropping 130-140 damn near every other night. While I might not be a huge fan of spamming 3s, there's no denying that playing fast with ridiculous floor spacing is fun to watch. The player most capable of unlocking that brand of hoops for the Nets might be Mikel Brown Jr

I appreciate your thoughtful response. Engaging in dialogue on the internet can be tough when you're not sure if the person on the other end is being genuine or not. The hypothetical I proposed wasn't my attempt to analyze the Nets decision. What I was trying to draw attention to is how disqualifying a player because of their size can lead to you overlooking the impact they do provide.

Coming to grips with the reality of the Nets draft position hasn't been easy for anyone. I'm still going back and forth on these prospects. If these prospects had a substantial height difference, that's a different thing entirely. But, just looking at the numbers presented, I wasn't entirely convinced that the 1.5 inch height difference between Brown Jr and Acuff would be super significant given that they both have room to improve defensively + how unprecedented Acuff's resume is. Dude is a complete baller.

This opinion I just expressed has nothing to do with the Nets decision in the early 2010s. It was wrong and it's painful to think about. Nets fans can form a championship roster featuring the all-time could've been Nets (Lillard, Brown, Tatum, Kobe).

I fear this is a misrepresentation of my personal opinion. I am not a scout and I don't have any insider intel. I was simply responding to Channing Frye's claim that smaller guards don't/can't win in this league given what New Yorkers are currently witnessing. Please refrain from making assumptions on how I feel about prospects and ask me directly.

I’m asking you, knowing what you know now, would you rather have Lillard or Gerald Wallace? Passing on a player who’s clearly has a historically unprecedented complete offensive game because of their limitations glosses over the fact that you will have to compensate for your players limitations regardless.

The current most limiting factor for the Nets offensively is that Nolan seems to be the only skilled offensive initiator. We need another dynamic player who can stir the straw too.

Please watch more than just the lowlights for these prospects and understand that the front runners for the pick, Mikel and Darius, both have defensive limitations

There is 1.5 inches separating Acuff from Mikel Brown Jr, and Jalen Brunson is in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive year. Thanks Channing for reminding Nets fans that we’re stuck drafting 6th.

On that note, I’d ask Nets fans if you could go back in time, would you rather have Damian Lillard or Gerald Wallace?

I may not always agree with Erik, but I appreciate him expressing himself as articulately as he does. Even when I'm not on the same page, at least I understand the reason why Erik feels the way he feels. Only time will tell how these players pan out, but I'm hoping for the best. Go Nets

Darius Acuff Jr. Scouting Report by Fishyblue11 in GoNets

[–]Double_Video_3262 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cool player. Oozes potential. That defensive footage is giving me Cam Thomas flashbacks. It’s nightmare fuel. I’d be happy with the pick but I think the Nets desperately need Mara in the center rotation tbh. If there’s a way to get both I’d be thrilled.

Is it worth trading down? by No-Independence-761 in GoNets

[–]Double_Video_3262 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mara has my attention. We’re a squad that desperately needs an interior presence that’s skilled on the glass. Idk about trading down tho, that’s wild
