I like a lot of the current New Orleans players (as well as many who have left in recent years, like the ones you mentioned), but the roster can never stay healthy. 😞

Basketball hope rises again every autumn though! 🍂 😊

Here’s also hoping Chicago’s Buzelis can take another leap this year! 🐂 🔴⚪️⚫️

The NBA teams I root for, after the Nets, are the Chicago Bulls & the New Orleans Pelicans… so I feel some of your pain. Though I’m perhaps deluded in my restrained optimism for the Pels this season; call me crazy. What raised your ire with the lowly Nyets, though? 🏀 #NBASky #Nets #Bulls #Pelicans

You could feel this coming if you watched the two Nets games in Macao. I like both players as people, but the writing was on the wall. 🏀 #NetsWorld #NetsSky #BrooklynNets #DariqWhitehead #DrewTimme

Brooklyn Buckets @brooklynbuckets.bsky.social · 2d

I wonder if the PG rotation might flip flop, though? Traore looks a little overwhelmed at the moment, like his confidence has been ebbing in these Macao games. I am not down on the kid, but, right now, he’s playing like he’s underwater. Maybe ease him in more? I don’t know 🏀 #NBA #NetsWorld #NetsSky

I got up at 6:45 a.m. on a Sunday for Brooklyn Nets preseason basketball so you didn't have to:

Brooklyn Nets defeat Phoenix Suns in final Macao game, 111-109

It was an often a struggle for the starters, but the bench (and rookies!) showed some flashes

I am def more encouraged about the watchability of this coming season after seeing these three warm-up games. Not winning much is okay if the kids play hard and we can watch them develop in positive ways, even as they make mistakes. I hope we can at least enjoy that much in 2025/2026…. #NetsWorld

Are they counting those as preseason games when they aren’t against NBA teams? I honestly don’t know. lol. Like, New Orleans went to Australia and played two local teams there—no NBA opponents. It was fun but a little odd 🌏 🏀

Saraf ran the offense exceptionally well in BK’s first win of preseason. He put up 11 assists in just 21 min and half of them were sharp plays. Ben might end up our starting PG at the beginning of the season. He looked calm and played under control. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NetsSky #BenSaraf
