All you need to know about the Nets

Hey cool! Glad you found it here. Compile these links into a FanPost and post it here for us. You’ll get better results

Don’t bother. He’s done it on nearly every SB Nation site… I just dropped the hammer myself

way to go Drummer boy!

Gandalf: you shall not post

Waiting to exhale

That is wrong

No… “I guess Costner didn’t get there in time!” is wrong.

manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu manu

A little OCD there, srf.

where’s my halftime fish

.

that looks like he’s on the Nets. I don’t like that!

look at the ears on that kik

kid

oh wow, like Will Smith ears

“i could be playing world of warcraft right now”

“but I took an arrow to the knee”

“I shoulda been an All-Star!”

he want a triple double…….

The refs should be happy Timmeh can’t shoot lasers out of his eyes.

the refs must be trembling in fear

“of course he has never agreed with a foul call.” -Grizz announcers

dont smile timmy

“IF I equip a +10 agility to my elf hunter I still will be having trouble finishing the Dark Cave of Trolls…..I need some potions”

Off to try to make dinner in 10-15 minutes of halftime. Wish me luck!

noodles…….5 mins

Yay! Dinner time! Green chile!

Delivery is always tough for me as well. Good luck.

Lin has 15 points and 4 assists on the first half. Tony, Manu and a first rounder for Lin?

I will throw in RJ

all but Splots must go!

let hold on to Leonard

oh yes of course

the knicks only do this if we swap Popovich with D’ANtoni

Minny up by 8 on the New York Lins

...

Is everything fuzzy because I’m already dreaming?

a Lin within a Lin….I’ll stop before getting banned

the harvard experiment

If Lin leeds a come back, we will never hear the end of this

duncan 4assist
parker 3 assist
manu3assist
thats ball movement

Timmy running point?

better than the JV

he wants a triple double..

We all know Timmeh is a poing guard in a center’s body.

Timmy has as many assists as Lin!

but Lin has more points

But not as many points, he sucks.

we mist get Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin on the same team. Though I’m sure it won’t be allowed for “basketball reasons”

That much hype in one place could tear a hole on the time-space continuum.

we have to trade manu, he has the lowest +/- on the team right now

he has to get in line behind Parker

Heh, Jeremy Lin has 15 pts and 4 assists at the half. I wonder when this guy will come crashing back down to earth…

against the Spurs

Unlikely. It’ll just force Tony to put up 40 and 10 of his own.

woah! id love to see that. (im a fan though)

Eh, I think hes likely to actually score 40 against the Spurs.

Pop will put Kawhi on him

As soon as Camelo comes back and gets in the way

our bench got better tonight

so Who Framed Roger Rabbit is an incredible movie

dare I say it is…Lintastic

Eddie Murphy turned down that role.

bwahaha spurs are shooting 62%

and 57 from FT line

Lin looking like a right handed Ginobli
by 100% dundee on Feb 11, 2012 5:34 PM PST reply actions

from the knicks blog……they wish

he has to get a bald spot first

WE wish. That’s a real compliment for Manu.

he’s a flopper?

They spelled Ginobili wrong

have we seen the Manu-Tiago PnR connection yet?

Anyone seen " The next 3 days" ? Good movie.

I broke down and rented " The Warrior" . It was Ok, but shit, that movie was damn hyped.

Take Shelter is good.

15 point lead at the half, great start for the Spurs… Now I’m hoping the bench guys gets more minutes. Splitter only had 1 shot attempt in the first half…

Err… Lin traveled on that “highlight” spin move.

it’s ok, he is not a Spur

This is the NBA… Traveling is only called, ….at complete random.

this is so true it must be rec’d

too powerful for such mere mortals

can’t wait to see plays like those again

He broke Yao’s will to play the game

What’s up with Portland? They’re in a funk.

losing to DAL big. I hate that

their funk is perpetual

I think that they werent as good as their record suggested at the start of the season. Very thin roster, their two centers have 80 years combined, and their backcourt is as average as it gets.

Why are Paul George dunks so beautiful?

Why is the sky blue? Why is Lin the best player ever? Some things just are, man.

Lets go Manu, lets go!

I’m back! I failed miserably at dinner. I blame the 100 proof Captain Morgan.

how does one fail at dinner?

I tried to finish it during halftime. It didn’t quite work out.

You get damn good at failing, thats how. Take note, young man.

I got no time for notes. Only for Sunkist and Chaps

Chaps? I hope those have a back on them.

What? how’d you screw it up?

Eh, why do the Spurs look like the Nets…?

It’s “Teams Trade Jerseys” day.

Except the Nets ended up with OKC jerseys.

they are trying to help RJ fee more comfortable

Lets go Chaps, lets go!

that doesn’t even have a ring to it

Min 64, NY 52. Linning running into the Love train.

The knicks losing? Are Amare and Carmelo back?

did we miss some of the game??

Dumb screen…

Dejuan went after that like it was Whataburger.

too many TOs at the start!

Wow come on Spurs…three straight turnovers to start the half.

They don’t want a blow out. The starters want to play longer

stupid make up call…

Get the ball in, HURRY UP!!!

DAMN make up call!!!

whole starting lineup is in. When the bench comes in we’ll go on a 10-0 run

This 3rd quarter not starting well.

And this is what NBA basketball looks like.

pretty bad call there, follow up by a make up call

3 straight TOs

We haven’t even attempted a fucking shot yet, and the Nets have score on 3 straight possessions. Something is wrong about that.

Pressing the foot off of the gas.

Petro, looking like Drazen Petrovic.

Pop is not amused.

Spurs with early timeout. Put in Splitter!

it’s a TARP!

our Chaps can’t repel firepower of this magnitude

And they score at the buzzer. zzzzzzzzzzzz

6-0 run by the Netizens.

Green should not be in the starting line up

I thought for sure Manu woulda started the 2nd half!

agreed, we need to red light Green

We need Sexsplots.

Ok lets get Manu and Splitter in.

awesome start. makes me glad to be alive.

Is the tarp barely being sprung….?!?!? Stay tuned……

Pacers down 2 vs Denver… 2:40 left.

Denver playing small ball and playing fast.

I’m pretty sure Bonner’s coming back in.

not sure why he geets in before Splitter

cause if they didn’t he’d complain about not getting played enough due to being a ginger

I can see that happening

I’m just glad Tim is playing. Thought he might have a concussion.

Damnit Spurs. I had to work today – you should too.

there you go Timmeh!

Ok Chaps, lets getsome offense going.

Timmy with the court vision

Timmy answers!

Timmy assist machine/

Timmy playing through the pain

Tragic turns Magic!..

SE

timmeh is so old

Green giving me some reason to believe

Jefferson is so one dimensional, its sad

i want a triple double!!!!!!!

Don’t we all…

Oh my!

Timmy playing poing guard!

Timmy for back-up PG!

He was inspired by Lin

Aren’t we all, really?

Point Center TD.

How the hell did the nets win 8 games?

Oh I get it…they play the wizards, pistons and bobcats a lot.

congratulations!

You can say the same for the Knicks.

Nets call time

magic duncan

is that TD or Lin on stilts?

Lin on stilts!

that’s right, Tim is too old. ESPN told me so

TD replacing TJ as the back up poing guard.

RJ is just getting painful to watch

that threeeeeeeee wasnt painful

he heard me bad mouthing him

That posession was a bit ugly.

took the words right out of my mouth

4th on Blair. Put Splots in!

I really jinxed RJ, didn’t I?

nah, he was this bad before

we’re all blaming you.

except romes, he’s happy with the results.

OR DID I?

dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun

Darkplace Darkplace Darkplace Darkplace Darkplace

How did Blair miss that point blank tip in?

Do any of our guys have a chance of making the 3-point shootout?
They still owe Bonner.

Blair with four fouls

he wants tiago to play

FInley > RJ

he’s too busy eating brains elsewhere now :,(

jefferson yelling for the ball. love it

Blair another dumb foul.

Just when you were losing faith in RJ!

every spurs does that to their fans

he pulls through just in time! RJ 3!

he gives us just enough to shut us up

he disapoints us even more?

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

gary neal/jefferson should make it

bonner doesn’t have any marketability but a lot of ppl have heard neal’s story and jeffersons hitting a good amount of 3. manu’s second in the league in made threes per game lol

Indiana down 2 with 20 secs left and the ball.

foul on TD???? damn refs

Bullshit foul on #21. And not just because I’m a fan.

NJ finally crosses 50

and humpries didn’t get called for worse

Thats not a foul just incidental contact

weak move by green, he’s a youngin he needs to fly up

Bonner goes in for Blair. Splitter getting buried in the bench, I hope he gets more burn time in the 4th quarter.

Tiago is just Tim’s backup, that is how Pop sees him

damn it!! up only by 6

curse you Spray Tan!

man, these refs hate TD

don’t they all?

Williams has a 90inch wide nose. Hard to miss that

come on guys . . .Neal!

Are Spurs not playin D this period??

Pop always picks a random quarter to not play D. then makes them play all 4 quarters in the playoffs.

keep teams off guard

Of course he makes it

“with a deadly Gary Neeeeeal!”

Stop making 3’s Nets!

Neal is finding his game from last year

ANd to think we got Neal out of the summer league

we scouted him well

11 turnovers?

Tiago is just Tim’s backup, that is how Pop sees him

we should trade Pop

Like the attack though RJ!

Manu to Timmeh is SO pretty!!

can’t imagine how much screaming you’ll do when Manu and Splitter start playing the pnr game together…

My head will explode!

that was pretty timmy and manu

quick, start bad mouthing RJ so he will make a 3 to silence his doubters!

Dunk-Lin looks good

MANU!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

A beaut of a pass

Classic Manu to Timmy

TD is really playing great these days. am liking it..:)

seems more decisive with the ball

he’s everywhere

Turn over, Spurs ball!

Splots still scoreless

Manu got his minutes

not many minutes

DWill with his daily 20

no foul??? FU Sheldon

It has been all Williams

there’s only four out there

Green in for RJ, now this is a real lineup

how is that not a foul

foul? you know…when there’s contact?

The refs forgot who Manu is.

finally we get a call

our bench can run off 10 quick points

put Bonner on skates!!

nice shot by Green

Chaps still up by double digits

green feeling it in front of his hometown people

close enoughto home anyway

lol, nice fake by Tiago

Neal with the dime to Green then a Tiago hook!

lol williams mean travel there…

What a fake

Tiagoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal

Shame on you Deron Williams for crossing over Matty. That’s like beating up an infant.

luckily it didn’t go in

I want a Chaps jersey now

Wow that was a real late call for Deron Williams. He was out of control and got blocked. Refs bailing him out.

Deron going hero mode.

he need lin mode to beat us

WTH Bonner, tryin to get a charge directly under the rim…. JUMP dammit!!

what a pass by Neal. Nice dunk by Tiago

NEAL to SPLOTS!

NEAL TO TIAGGGOOOO

Just got home. How is Manu doing?

got 4 points plus some pretty passes

splitter having a positive impact

Neal has become a little playmaker

he was one last year, he’s getting back to being one now

The Brazilian Baller!

Beautiful Brazilian Baller?

Tiago scoring again!

Neal has made Tony redundant. Jason Thompson anyone?

Sarcasm right?

Not at all, we don’t need our only allstar…

If we had Lin, we wouldn’t need either.

Love the uniforms :D

Get it to Neal for a three.

This third quarter seems to be going on forever.

a Kiwi a day keeps the points away

shoulda been and1

use 2 hands Leonard

twss?

That’s my nominee for best TWSS of the thread.

Leonard needs to realize that he is a Spur…………no dunking

but he’s a Chap tonight

The basketball Gods don’t allow Spurs to dunk.

leonard needs to go up with two hands there. he also got away with a reach in call

So that’s at least 17 FT’s in a row for Tony.

dont jynx it bro

Really?

Yeah he was 13/13 vs Philly, and 4-4 tonight.

Lots of williams for the nets. Generic stuff sucks

gotta say brooks has some game, he’ll be a lot better when he stops turning it over so much

the resemblance is uncanny

Gotta love them kiwis.

I love the Leonard dunk.

leonard!!

Bonner, almost!

almost the clutch 3 ahaha

Most exciting play of the game, and they didn’t even score.

C’mon Leonard, Pass it to Tiago

He doesn’t want Tiago to look too good

yes. wide open on the block, hit the big guy.

lol@Bonner’s double pump

nights like these i love being a Chaps fan

Them Chaps are awesome.

So you’re a fan of chaps?

...

Artist rendition of KA1Z3R

I’m a female? And where’s my Sunkist?! >:I

Most of the results I got for men in chaps were not family friendly. I apologize for the lack of Sunkist, though.

Yeah, “men in chaps” is not a recommended search

Yep. I’ve now seen things I can’t unsee.

haha at a double pump bonner 3…that doesn’t fall. YOU SUCK BONNER!

Shoulda gave it to Bonner sooner!

Only Bonner can make a move look that ridiculous

I don’t care if he shoots the 3’s at a high percentage, his shot really just looks awkward!

Kiwi with 5 points and 6 boards. I love this kid!

you are not the only one

“If there’s anybody who can make an awkward looking shot, it’s Matt Bonner” – Nets announcer. Haha

2nd only to Marion

I’m telling you, he does it on purpose for comedic value.

he’s a performance artist, trolling the whole nba?

nets announcers are very easy to listen to

Yeah, nowhere near as bad as other teams.

Mike Fratello is quite the announcer

good defense by splitter

Nets shooting 35%

That’s old-fashioned Spurs defense.

DWill is only Net in double figures

Timmeh with another double double

He sucks™. We should trade him.

For Lin.

&erson in

That can’t be right – I’m watching this game.

That’s Pop’s way of saying Happy Valentine’s Day Cap.

My wife just told me Chaps implies homo-erotic things. I don’t get it.

? my sarcasm-o-meter is broken

where was the foul?

A wild &erson appears. A legendary sighting, must use Master Ball (pokemon reference)

Nah, just paralyse him and throw masterballs, I’m waiting for CoJo to use my masterball.

obvious logic flaw is obvious

+11901901901
We need to sleep him so he is easier to catch

haha, what level?

only level 5, but I got my rare candy cheat active

Tim Duncan used Mean Look.

It’s super effective!

Referee fainted

Pop uses Rest, &erson fainted

what the hell are you people talking about?

pokemans

i thought that was just a tv show

and video game

and movies

ok i do know all this. but still….

old person alert!

Nothing wrong with old people. >:{

you’re a cool and hip old person though…I mean you’re beautiful!

i don’t have to use a walking frame ALL the time….just when i’m out of the nursing homehouse

Lets not let ’em back into this to start the 4th.

TP playing PNR with Splots

That is a thing of beauty – on so many levels.

Beautiful, splots!

Tiago been hitting his FT’s nicely lately.

Splitter back to the line

Splitter dominating again.

ewww, Deron Williams mouthpiece is on after he throws it on the floor

Williams is a dirty player

Yeah I never got the licking hands, rubbing shoe bottoms thing either.

Hes obviously never seen Contagion

The tiago-Parker pick and roll is a thing of beauty. It always produces good results

Lin 82, Wolves 87 at the end of the third.

Wow, Lin 82 pts that tops Bryant.

and still one quarter to go

That’s a relatively quiet night for him.

it’s such a joy to see the enemy’s score in the low 60s in the 4Q. keep up the D Spurs!

the OLD spurs

Damn, Blake jus killed the rim!

tiago is shooting almost 0.700 of his free throws

Holy shit Anderson

now thats a foul

No continuation shot with that foul. :)

lol james anderson

Anderson is the joke

Sigh… Anderson rookie move.

This is probably the last time Anderson will play this season with Manu back. This is Pop valentine gifts to him

rookies gonna rook

bonner for threeeeeeeeeeeee

Spurs defense

guys like leonard, green, splitter are young. they need to go up and finish strong/take the foul instead of getting fancy

NY has no answer for PEkovic

YAY!! He is on my fantasy team. One of the best pickups ever

Memo to the nets: Bonner can make wide open 3 pointers.

(in the regular season)

he is like Lebron-lite

Nets call timeout. AJ to team: “How did you guys let that ginger’s ugly ass shot go in?”

“but coach…he is so….akward, he will probably miss the next”

kawhi 8 rbs 2steals 1block

Yeah I was just looking at that.. he’s quietly having a solid game off the bench.

Tonight might be about the only time I’ve ever rooted for NY.

we all root for Lin

NY being led by a combination of Lin, Fields and Shumpert; making about $3M total between them.

Spurs bench outscoring DWill

lin’s missed his last 7 shots.

the BIg Three leading the team in assists (5-5-4)? i bet they love their teammates.

Manu needs some PT

manu is playing?

wow splots to manu

SPLITTTER TO MANUUU

Brazilian, no Argentine, no Brazilian connection!

Looked kinda like the Iceman

Man, that Neal floater has looked smooth tonight.

Tiago cleans up Anderson’s miss

anderson’s silly foul

I remember that Iceman poster!

what happened to the rage from the 03 finals?
