2322443, Damn nets fans...this is hilarisad
Posted by Cenario, Fri May-02-14 08:04 AM
Not sure what the nets expect, they moved into another teams backyard. Lol @ Dwill's "this is the 1st step in taking over the city"

chill son, thats not how this works.

Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce have been critical of the energy of Brooklyn Nets fans early in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series compared the to Toronto Raptors fans. Now the Brooklyn Nets’ Twitter account is joining the fray.
“#Nets fans take note- this is what a playoff crowd sounds like..set your DVD and take notes #RAPTORSvNETS - LR,” tweeted Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center senior reporter Lenn Robbins, who took over the club’s official Twitter account during the second and third quarters of Game 5 of the series in Toronto Wednesday night.

Just before tipoff, Robbins tweeted from his personal Twitter account: “Welcome to Air Canada Centre for pivotal Game 5..got to give it to fans here..they've been louder, prouder, better #RAPTORSvNETS”

Yelling at J Kidd to get his bum ass to happy hour if he doesn't want to coach the team

It's a new fanbase, a new location, basically a whole new team

They get plenty of love as a BRAND but do we love them as a team?

We're getting there

And granted they are spending the money to grow a fanbase overnight

But money don't buy love

KG saying that is like aight man, you're right. Shit is mad dead in Barclays some times but can you worry about hitting a shot once or twice? And also, my man, last year you were a CELTIC. Cmon

I was just talking to this guy at my job this morning from Bensonhurst (knick fan). He says it's because it's the new brooklyn and it's too many hipsters. I went to 11 games this year and it's always a different crowd, and the hipster stereotype really doesn't hold that true. Most fans I think are either too cool to be diehard and loud, or just kinda new to the franchise. I got into it with two fans at the Warriors game, they just gotta get it out of us slowly.

2 of their hired guns would have probably been in the top 10 of hated athletes if you did a poll on atlantic and flatbush last season.

its silly for nets pr to come at the fans like that.
2322477, I lost my voice last Friday. I'll do my best to do the same today.

Posted by Cenario, Fri May-02-14 10:51 AM
easy as some predicted. You pointed out that MSG is dark this spring, yet, barclays still can't get an excited and noisy crowd.

Thanks again.
2322494, shit is still selling out every game though and selling a gang of gear
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri May-02-14 10:56 AM
not sure why mgmt tripping
2322495, they tripping cause the crowd gets nosier for rihanna nipples
Posted by Cenario, Fri May-02-14 11:00 AM

There's still a grip of 1st hand tickets available at ticketmaster for tonights game tho lol
2322498, that's cause only one of those things is hittin
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri May-02-14 11:08 AM
I was at that game and saw no such nipples btw, I think that was more on TV.

also the Nets lost their biggest hype man in Jet smh

I was sad to see him go
2322465, if a knick fan falls down in MSG and nobody hears it..

Does he still look for someone to blame? Smith tied his laces? Amare freaky fridayed his knees? Felton spilled some cheese on the court?

2322512, Anyone bringing up the Knicks in this is sad...
Posted by ThaAnthology, Fri May-02-14 11:51 AM
This is about BROOKLYN AND ITS FANBASE AND HOW THEY SUPPORT (OR LACKTHEREOF) OF THEIR TEAM. I am laughing at my desk on how these bait and switchers are throwing shade to Knicks while the article is clearly saying they don't rep for THEIR TEAM. hahaha ya'll too busy worrying about Knick fans? Wow.

Cheer for the team that is STILL PLAYING in May... If MSG's team was there I BET there would be no one questioning our support, but I guess its more important for Brooklyn Net fans to trash the Knicks then support their team.

Stay Classy Brooklyn.
2322514, its only sev...i can understand your confusion tho, kinda hard
Posted by Cenario, Fri May-02-14 11:55 AM

Shyt man, I'm at work. I hardly ever chime in and everytime I do folk blast me lol hahha. jeez. All I saw was BUT the Knicks....

I was confused by that cause I thought it was a Nets Fan Base post.

Stay Golden Pony Boy!

2322556, Except C is a huge Knicks fan
Posted by magilla vanilla, Fri May-02-14 02:00 PM
so OF COURSE there's gonna be shit talking back the other way.

Or can we start talking about how the Knicks have been hyped to infinity despite having NO history of winning aside from ONE TEAM in the mid 70s? Can we start talking about how y'all have gotten hyped over a coach coming in to play GM and cash a check rather than actually coach? Can we talk about Pat Ewing kicking rocks and making never were centers even more never weres? I mean, cmon. Dude was rocking a Larry Holmes Flabby-n-sick flattop in the "prime" of his career. Can we talk about how hyped you get over ONE dunk against a team that fucked y'all out YEAR after YEAR after YEAR? Congrats, Starks hooped that one time. Celebrate!
2322550, nets crowds have sucked every time i've gone
Posted by pretentious username, Fri May-02-14 01:39 PM
1st quarter (if everyone's in their seats by then) and 4th quarter it's alright. but in the middle of the game it can get eerily quiet, especially against a shitty opponent. brooklyn doesn't really care about this team yet, they just like the gear and coming together to support something that isn't in manhattan. can't blame them on that, but it's really odd to watch.
2322552, Ah you one of those lames coming in your Celtics gear? lol
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri May-02-14 01:43 PM
If it's a good game, it's a good crowd

Forget about hasidic night, good lord

Most bizarre shit I've ever seen

But yeah, if like 50% of the crowd is ppl like you... I mean... Were YOU cheering?
2322554, btw I mean 'lames' affectionately. butts in seats is butts in seats

2322557, went to a Warriors and Pistons game too
Posted by pretentious username, Fri May-02-14 02:03 PM
one unfair advantage for the opposing team is that all the nets fans wear black, so if the opposing team has a distinct/brightish color (like the celtics do) their fans are even more visible in a sea of black shirts.

but I need to hear more about this:

>Forget about hasidic night, good lord

2322561, I think this pretty much sums it up:

And I was totally incorrect to call it Hasidic night

It was Jewish Heritage Day and I apologize
2322643, im surprised they didnt sign Omri Casspi
