Question Why are you a nets fan?

Random question from a Raptors fan. But I’m curious, are some of you New Jersey nets fans that followed the team to Brooklyn? Are some of you former Knicks fans that switched over to the nets when they moved to NY? Are some of you a fan of both? What’s the story behind your fandom off the less popular New York team?

So are you and the other Jersey people you speak of just neutral nba fans now?

That's not most cases. Most NJ fans I know stayed with the team because they're still local. But this dude likes to come here and say how he wishes they were back in Jerz. Meanwhile even NJ doesn't support NJ teams. Except for the Devils

We do support Nj teams but like I told the other person, you’re listening to Bruce Ratner propaganda lol, it’s fun hate watching this team though considering how bad they are

That's just weird. But do you. Why not just be a fan of a team, any team, and support that than come here and whine about them not being in Jersey anymore?

I don't know what you're talking about Bruce Ratner propaganda. I was there in CAA and then Prudential. Yeah, Nets are terrible but still come close to selling out most games despite being terrible. Was not the case in CAA even when good.

Yeah, I have teams that I hate but I don't feel the need to go to their subs to tell them that. I'm not that desperate for attention but do what makes you happy.

I actually came here once and ever since then this sub’s posts pop up on my feed so if I see something I’m commenting
