For many years now I've been spent alot of my time here writing about basketball.
Specifically the NBA Draft.
I get alot of views but very little engagement. Like I'm on here by myself.
It is very time consuming and I don't want to waste my time.
Should I take a break this year or keep it going?
Does anyone here LIKE my draft content?

There is no doubt they have invested heavily in Nyc. However, they are trying to penetrate a market where the Knicks have been the main attraction for generations. No matter how bad the Knicks have been in the past, that fans arent going away. The #isles gave it a try and left.

Nets/Liberty have invested heavily in city: $1B at Barclays Center, $52M at HSS training center, another $80M at new Libs training center plus undisclosed millions for youth training center across from Barclays. Knicks/Rangers need to match that commitment to NYC.

@Scott44Mitchell @NetsDaily Not the best look but how many fights did "The Big Three" have while they were here?
English
Sorry not sorry, Nets players still way too soft.
Throw some hands boys. Show them who they're messing with, not some stupid pushing and shoving match at a bar.
I guess I grew up in a different era, but if that was my teammate... Ooof.

Fight breaks out with Nets and Knicks, sparked by contact between Mitchell Robinson and Nolan Traoré

@The__Cooler @KNICKSBUZZ For sure. Same with Boozer and several guards.
English
@midrangehoops @KNICKSBUZZ 6'9. Measurements will be key for him at the Combine.
English
@The__Cooler I thought he was entering the draft last year and is being overlooked this year. Someone will get a steal.
English
@midrangehoops I was thinking the same. Whoever controls the pace will win.
This kid Philon has been quarterbacking an uptempo NBA style offense under Nate Oats.
He's got good size, speed, can shoot it, and is an improved playmaker.
English
There are so many good PGs in this draft class that I feel like Alabama's Labaron Philon is being slept on.
@midrangehoops I know you follow Hofstra. Are they a good matchup for Philon?
English
@NetsDaily Correct. In 2025, a 39-win play-in team wins the lottery ("They were lucky!"), Utah had the worst record overall and picks 5th ("They were unlucky!"), the Nets finished with the 6th-worst record and picked 8th ("They were stupid!"). It's a lottery.
English
@theblockspot It's not good, also happens every year. The playoff teams are set, the tanking teams are set. The only real "races" are to increase lottery odds and maybe to avoid the play-in. Teams are working with the system that's in place. The fans always lose after the ASG until playoffs.

Last 2 Nights In The NBA:
Wolves over Jazz… by 36.
Raptors over Bulls… by 30.
Hornets over Heat… by 30.
Thunder over Nets.. by 29.
Nuggets over Sixers… by 28.
Spurs over Kings… by 28.
Knicks over Pacers… by 26.
Celtics over Warriors… by 21.
This is officially ridiculous.

@HoopsWeiss Syracuse, Boston College, and Pittsburgh slipped into basketball irrelevance chasing football money.
English
Is Syracuse an elite program any more or merely just a second tier ACC team? Orange Basketball Has Been Turned Down By Their Top Two Head Coaching Options --Josh Schertz of Saint Louis and Bryan Hodgson of South Florida. I miss Jim Boeheim, Pearl, Melo.
English
@EvanRobertsWFAN Point taken but last year they were accused of not tanking hard enough (Schroeder, Cam J, DFS). This year with 5 rookies and no stars, still not enough tanking. Plus they must lose by >10 ("They scaring me...fire the FO!") or <20 ("Poverty! Fire the FO!"). Not built for a tank.

@notoriousbknets In the minds of those who dislike the front office, they will always be busts.

We need to come up with a name for the four schools in four years guys. Any suggestions?

Nolan Traoré stats this season (45 games):
8.2 PPG
1.6 RPG
3.6 APG
38.5% FG
33.1% 3PT
Are you buying Nolan Traoré stock?
English
He's played 16 minutes lol.

Jordi Fernandez on Nolan Traore: “he’s exhausted.”
English
@TommyBeer Bill Cartwright's elbows had elbows on their elbows.
English
Wow I’d had never seen this Bill Cartwright dunk on Barkley
Chuck got knocked unconscious
English
@NetsDaily Yeah, it was clear a couple of weeks ago he'd hit the wall. It happens.

forget the draft stuff for a moment, my goodness this is a disgusting reel. this kind of dribble timing and change of height is art.

@paulvault5 @michaelknowball @Tjonesonthenba @NetsDaily Obsession. Look the word up before using it out of context then accusing someone (twice) of not being able to read. 👋
English
@paulvault5 @michaelknowball @Tjonesonthenba @NetsDaily I can't address the person calling you the "r" word, but you could probably do a better job of proving him wrong. Meanwhile, you made two posts accusing me of not being able to read while avoiding my question. So you're imploding on all counts. Try harder
