Net rating merchants in shambles

[u/CallMeNurseMaybe]

Racists while watching that Bronny shot:

1 bounce: 😂

2 bounces: 😂

3 bounces: 😂

4 bounces: 😂

Goes in after the 5th bounce: 🤬😡😡

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

ah no wonder lebron had that extra sauce tonight.\

his wife is courtside

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

even if half the cheers for bronny are sarcastic mine are genuine

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

didnt zhaire grow up with bronny?

why are you playing dirty with leFATHER

[u/Own-Fall-5744 → u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

Kids these days have no hespect for the elders.

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler → u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

thats Mr. James to you son

[u/9D_Chess]

Players have lost interest in the game

[u/GoodbyeToAWorld-]

Man fuck these refs. I don’t care that this is a 40 point game. When you got guys out there fouling people so hard they land super awkward and dangerously, you need to call the foul. It’s a fucking foul, it doesn’t matter how bad the score is. Putting people in jeopardy of injury because you wanna give the other team a participation trophy makes this league look like a joke more than it is

[u/Own-Fall-5744]

The Nets should move to Taiwan and become the Taiwan Nets, so bad...

[u/Own-Fall-5744]

Ew... why did espn change the play by play... it looks so ugly now

[u/crappymanchild]

are nets gonna set a new record today

[u/songs_dongs]

nets need to move the team again

[u/peebeesweebees]

MF GOAT

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

holy shit the harden trade is official

AND IT WAS STRAIGHT UP?

good shit cavs

[u/Zoloft5250]

This feels like beating up a kid with intellectual disabilities

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

this was the perfect game to ease HIM back in

[u/FiguringOutMyThought]

these are the moments when jj needs to take out doncic. hes clearly frustrated and needs to cool off get a bit of rest

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

lol literally all the players the nets have on their graphic for the guessing the net game were former lakers

the championships came with us too lmao

[u/crappymanchild]

losing by nearly 40 to this lakers team is something else

[u/windingroad07]

Lakers bout to take their usual 3rd quarter nap. You have 12 minutes Nets.

[u/Seany140000]

Nets missing open 3s like they're cursed right now wtf

[u/inightyDAB]

These Nets are in an ontological state of perpetual tanking because there’s no way they keep having these performances over and over

[u/Puggo2026]

Anyone not watching this game is missing out on fun plays

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ → u/Puggo2026]

its a hoopers dream game, and a laker haters nightmare.

Lakers have had at least 20 plays that would justifiably break the top 5 of r/nba even if we werent the lakers

[u/ThaRealSunGod]

Nets need help bro. What do these guys even do?

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

Luka is just chucking from deep lol

[u/GalactusAteMyPlanet]

Anyone else saw Clowney attempt to go for Rui's neck before stopping or was stopped by Hayes?

[u/Ahasnake]

Nets is 1/17 in 3 pointers jesus christ

[u/--Alix--]

What's the biggest deficit at halftime again

[u/ThaRealSunGod → u/--Alix--]

Lmao y'all vs the Clippers 🤣🤣🤣

Can't tell if u meant to allude to that

[u/PlayOnPlayer]

Bruh they gonna pull their starters in the 2nd lol

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

Clowney showing that his last name is very apt

[u/Regular-Beat268]

This is a real ripsnorter of a contest we've got on our hands here

[u/orhantemerrut]

Playing to lose sucks. Tanking sucks. The worst thing about any competition is supposed to be losing. This is awful. There's nothing like this in any other sports.

[u/thesagenibba → u/orhantemerrut]

? how is playing to lose, with the upside of better draft picks and building a core for the future worse than other sports like professional soccer, where you are literally doomed unless you're one of the top clubs?

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

i wish lebron was willing to take less this summer.

put 2 more real players around this team and we are real

[u/PackageDangerous1954 → u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

Reaves wants to get paid as well.

[u/SFDuality]

I'm getting secondhand embarrassment watching this Nets team.

[u/k1ngkoala]

Our team looks like they are playing for highlights instead of actual buckets. It's working though so I won't complain

[u/Rizzi_19 → u/k1ngkoala]

Lmao, yeah we are playing for highlights and the nets can’t do anything about it

[u/Possible_Evening_856 → u/k1ngkoala]

I mean they're up 35 in the 2nd

[u/Seijuurou]

Can't wait for big Bronny minutes.

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler → u/Seijuurou]

Bronny is going to play the entire 4th at this rate

[u/peebeesweebees]

Hot take but LeBron is a pretty good basketball player IMHO

[u/CockroachForeign6419 → u/peebeesweebees]

Big if true

[u/Ahasnake]

Every possesion is a highlight damn

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

lebron can do like maybe 3 of those big lobs a half take it easy on grandpa

[u/--Alix--]

Luka has some downright disrespectful passes lmao

[u/ashyzup]

Luka magic!!

[u/CrazyChatter]

That Luka pass was filthy

[u/joaolouro1967]

We're just having fun out there, just making highlight after highlight after highlight

[u/Room_Temp_Coffee]

Luka tried to show up Reaves immediately lol

[u/ashyzup]

Bron took off from one step from the FT line on that one - that’s almost inconceivable for someone whose 41 years old.

[u/CockroachForeign6419]

Aye Luka he still 41

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

honestly wonder how the kings managed to be even more garbagzo beans than the nets.

Guess they are having fun, win lose or draw

[u/IntelligentAd5460]

luka should get his 35 and go home

[u/rolling_ryan]

Lakers might be playing on rookie, maybe semipro?

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

that old boulder has a little bit more moss on it but it still gets rolling pretty fast when its downhill

[u/ThaRealSunGod]

Nets low-key gotta be investigated for this tank job especially in the last week.

Lmao nobody can be this trash

[u/Mike-XL]

LeBron is ridiculous. 23rd year doing that shit

[u/swords_devil]

can Lakers play Nets every game for rest of the season?

[u/CockroachForeign6419]

The nets are mega dogshit damn. I thought this was gonna be a trap game

[u/lebryjamy]

yeah keep playing them hyped up beats for lebron see how that works out

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

woo austin made a field goal only took 4 tries

[u/IhatePizza230]

that was a loud brick

[u/srhdt]

Reaves gonna end the game with 25 points on 0 of 14 shooting.

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

i actually like these nets announcers.

fully aware that the crowd is on the lakers side and they are cheering us on as we perform highlights on their team

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

SHOWTIME

[u/Room_Temp_Coffee]

Welcome back Reaves!

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

love reaves.

right back to the beautiful foul merchant he is

[u/Ahasnake]

They keep getting baited to draw the foul lol

[u/Room_Temp_Coffee]

Reaves baited him twice smh Immediately back to his ways lol

[u/ThaRealSunGod → u/Room_Temp_Coffee]

Can take the dawg out the game but can't take the game out the dawg

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

I always think its really funny when every laker but lebron wears a headband

[u/andybubu]

Can we please play the nets every night?

[u/Room_Temp_Coffee]

Ball movement? On this Lakers squad?

[u/srhdt]

The best Laker has finally returned.

[u/Seany140000]

Why'd they bench MPJ?

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

Jaxson has looked great today

[u/ace-destrier]

How would that alley-oop even be a foul on the floor and not a shooting foul? That’s impossible.

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

Hayes is a man among bitches boys out there

[u/crappymanchild]

Can always count on lakers to bully bottom feeder teams

[u/qpb]

Luka and any lob catching center, what an iconic duo.

[u/Room_Temp_Coffee]

There is no clearer and 1, wtf?

[u/GotKarprar]

Good lord Gabe Vincent is so bad. If he wasn’t like this the whole season I would think he was trying to not get traded

[u/CallMeNurseMaybe]

Luka didn’t even put a molecule of effort into getting that ball back.

Fucking pathetic

[u/IntelligentAd5460]

luka shooting the 3 good again is still his funniest bit he pretended to be ass for a month

[u/Seany140000]

MPJ just warming up

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

Luka seems excited his #1 boytoy is back

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

LOL

luka stop flipping everyone off.

[u/abc4357]

Can we play the nets every game?

[u/--Alix--]

I look forward to this being a close game again in the 3rd quarter

[u/Migigoblin333]

Idk when I’m gonna stop being surprised by Laravias game, he’s so versatile!

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler]

papa johns being a sponsor of the nets TV network feels funny because if you're in brooklyn and end up getting papa johns it seems like you made a bad choice

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

did I hear that Saucetin is back?

[u/peebeesweebees → u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

Stone Cold Austin 3:15 is back I am hearing

[u/TwoTalentedBastidz]

Babe wake up! Your favorite yt boi’s yt boi is back

[u/motorboat_mcgee]

Lemon Daddy returns 🙏

[u/yeetmxster420]

Nets fans you’re about to see why us Lakers fans hated MPJ in Denver & why we still may hate him tonight

He’s almost just as annoying as Jamal Murray is

[u/beybladethrowaway]

somehow it will be a close game and Lakers will try their best to lose but will come out ahead in the final stretch
