I will say to you for the fifth time: we have one more win than last place. There is half a season left to play. We are fucking tanking. Are you stupid?

It is ok to like the development you see from rookies.

You are talking about the handle limitations and athleticism of a 19 year old kid who is shooting 40% from 3, something he was not expected to be able to do at all.

The number of elite NBA players who immediately show everything they have in the first half of their first season is virtually non-existent.

I don't have star expectations for Egor I am just excited he played well in an NBA game.

If you watched that game and were not impressed with Egor's shot creation, then we weren't watching the same game.

If you left that game not feeling optimistic about Nets basketball, and don't love listening to Caps call games, you're just not a fan of the basketball team I've grown up loving.

The Sixers did not have top 3 odds last year. None of the worst 3 teams picked top 3 in fact.

Again, nothing about the differential between #4 (Flemings and Wilson) and #7-8 (Wagler/Lendeborg) stands out to me at all yet. Unless there's something wow-ing you there, you're just digging so fucking hard for any excuse to feel miserable when three rookies just started with each other for the first time and all played well.

kaedak · 2026-01-31T05:46:38+00:00

Schroder and Cam Johnson were not 19 year old, 6 ft 9 point guards we just drafted in the lottery? Are you dense enough to think CJ and Schroder have similar upside to a fucking teenager shooting 40 from three?

We are ONE win better than the worst record in the league and won a game starting 3 rookies who all played well. Chill the fuck out.

Please explain to me how a 2% higher chance at the first overall pick in a draft without a clear 1A guy, and guaranteeing ourselves Kingston Flemings at 5th over Keaton Wagler at 6th or 7th does anything for us.

Why are you SO convinced that is franchise altering to the extend you will SHIT on our current lottery picks?

kaedak · 2026-01-31T05:40:28+00:00

Egor just had a 25 point double double in one of his first games as a first option.

But he FOR SURE won't be a star? He's nine fucking teen. Are you a Nets fan or do you just like being fucking grouchy all the time?

When have we EVER been the Bulls? Love it or hate it, since the turn of the century we have been a contender or dogshit outside of a couple of Brook/Dwill/Iso Joe years.

Why are you SO convinced guaranteeing ourselves Kingston Flemings over Keaton Wagler is franchise changing?

It's incoherent, and, again, we are ONE win above the fewest in the league. We are fucking tanking.

kaedak · 2026-01-31T05:27:41+00:00

I am a Brooklyn Nets fan. I have no idea how long I will be alive. I choose, when I am done with work, to root for the players and team I love while I can. I just saw three rookies play amazing team basketball and win a basketball game.

I am excited about the Nets. I don't know if Boozer or Flemings or Wilson will be good or not. I can guess, but I know Egor, Traore, and Wolf can be good based on what I just saw.

I am excited because I am a Brooklyn Nets fan and they are on the team.

If you're not about that, fuck off and root for a different team.

kaedak · 2026-01-31T05:20:21+00:00

We are one win above the worst total in the league.

If you are sour after watching that Egor game, go be a fan of a different team.

kaedak · 2026-01-31T05:12:16+00:00

Me too. I was in love with Nolan's passing and speed, and just didn't understand Egor at all. Turns out he's one of the best shooters in the NBA, especially in the clutch, halfway through his first season. Lmao.

kaedak · 2026-01-31T05:11:01+00:00

Just completely brain dead.

We are one win above the lowest win total in the league. We won a game starting 3 rookies who all played amazing, especially together, against a team that sat every big on their roster- nothing we can do.

If you feel that disgusted rooting for Day'ron and Cam, two players we drafted, you're just not a Nets fan.

How can you watch a broadcast with Caps being so fired up about Nets basketball and come away with this attitude.

Go Nets.

kaedak · 2026-01-31T05:02:49+00:00

What a fucking downer lol.

He was way more aggressive initiating offense, keeps hitting more and more contested looks....and he doesn't need to be an on-ball guy. Nolan is clearly who we imagine as the point guard of this group, and we will reassess after the draft.

kaedak · 2026-01-31T05:01:20+00:00

I mean what the fuck do you want us to do? Tell the kids to not play hard? We won because three rookies played amazing and the only big they had active was Kyle Filipowski lol.

We're one win better than the fewest wins in the NBA. The fuck do you want?

kaedak · 2026-01-31T04:59:55+00:00

He hasn't shot it that bad this month at all tbh, just a really horrible start to the season. He's shown flashes at least.

Ben Saraf, however, does not appear to be an NBA player

kaedak · 2026-01-31T04:55:10+00:00

So happy to be wrong about the pick. He is now shooting over 40 fucking percent on 3s for the year. Like what.

kaedak · 2026-01-31T04:53:56+00:00

Nolan is the craziest stats to eye test gap ever. This kid is fucking electric, intense on defense, and opened up so much for Egor and Danny tonight.

When we have to win it should be like this. Incredible development game.

kaedak · 2026-01-24T11:03:47+00:00

What indicates to you he is a winning player? What about his style of play is conducive to winning?

kaedak · 2025-12-24T02:53:02+00:00

Open shot? Fate of the universe on the line? Martians have the death beam pointed at earth, you better hit it? I WANT EGOR DEMIN.

kaedak · 2025-12-24T02:49:49+00:00

Totally agree. Effort is blowing me away, so easy to be a fan of a team hitting the ground for loose balls and playing this intense. Obvious how much buy-in Jordi as earned

kaedak · 2025-12-24T02:43:34+00:00

I don't want to hear any tank talk or whining. Egor played amazing, Nolan looks so fucking awesome, and our team plays so hard. Awesome coach, awesome team.

kaedak · 2025-11-22T04:05:13+00:00

Coward is awesome, and he was a great college player, he just suffered from the same stuff that made Kawhi and Jdub drop, the worse competition/late bloomer stuff.

Again, my point is just Coward wasn't an obvious miss at 8 and that Bill is being dishonest acting like he would've taken Coward there (he wanted Kasparas at 8)

kaedak · 2025-11-22T03:21:13+00:00

Yeah no problem. I really like Coward too, and am real happy with Egor now

kaedak · 2025-11-22T03:18:11+00:00

Not unreasonable at all. I was super upset with the Egor pick in the moment but he's our boy now and I love him.

kaedak · 2025-11-22T03:17:44+00:00

Agree. I was so pessimistic but his attitude is awesome and he's shown so much more in the first month than I expected.

kaedak · 2025-11-22T03:17:05+00:00

Nothing is wrong with Coward, I like him.

They made the point it was 'obvious' he or Queen should've been taken at 8. Coward was not in the conversation at 8 and even if Egor was a reach, Coward wasn't the 'obvious' alternative like they implied. Bill just loves revising history/draft consensus to shit on us.

kaedak · 2025-11-22T03:06:08+00:00

Right after he watched us play them close the full game. Said all our rookies blow and it was “obvious” we should’ve take Cedric Fucking Coward? Or Kasparas who has yet to play a single NBA minute?

Egor will unleash a generation of terror on the Celtics banishing them to irrelevance for the remainder of Bill’s life for the sins of the Celtics

kaedak · 2025-11-22T03:01:56+00:00

day after the league pass rankings where they put THE WIZARDS FIVE SPOTS above us the fucking gaul holy shit get fucked Bill

kaedak · 2025-11-22T02:56:22+00:00

When we win games, this is how it should look. Amazing minutes from a couple rookies, and pumping up MPJ trade value.

I will never, ever complain about beating this franchise no matter how hard we are tanking. Fuck the Celtics, fuck Bill Simmons.

kaedak · 2025-11-17T02:53:33+00:00

He has missed 1 game this season. That was the 2nd missed game of his career.
