Nets Pulse

Brett & Carl distract themselves from a near-miss versus the Hawks with things they like and don't like about the Brooklyn Nets. Our hard hitting analysis includes tales of Richard Jefferson's unabashed, self-serving use of his announcing gig (3:29), Rodi The Choir Boy's Budding Confidence (8:00) a well-deserved shout out to our basketball father Demarre Carroll (9:00) Dinwiddie's fireside referee chats (12:12) and a triumphant rejoice that the Nets guards are finally acknowledging Jarrett Allen's existence (16:45). We end with a deep dive into the anals of rebounding, typo intended! (19:53). Are rebounds in a vacuum indicative of which players help a team win? Who are the best rebounders on the Nets? Is Brook Lopez solely responsible for Kris Humphries fame and marriage?! (42:05)

After the Nets recent woes, Carl and Brett take on Nets Twitter to cool down the piping hot takes (2:20), revise their Nets win total projections for the season (28:01), Brett attempts to put the fear of God in Carl with the spooky parallel between the 2018-19 Nets and a familiar foe (29:27) and ultimately revise their final Eastern Conference standings (40:30). Go Nets baby!

Brett and Carl react in real time to Spencer Dinwiddie's imminent return (00:00), nearly come to blows about how many lines are on a basketball (6:44), chat through Rodions Kurucs up and down rookie season (14:30), navigate suffering the slings and arrows of the remaining buyout 4 market (31:24) and finally share their thoughts on the pros and cons of Kenny's egregious use of zone defense (39:49) One Team, Zone Goal!

After a well-deserved celebration of all things Joe Harris (1:29) Carl and Brett dissect everything we like and don't like about the Nets since the All-Star Break (4:26) followed by a detailed breakdown of the Nets remaining schedule (26:38) while ultimately ending with our Nets win total and playoff seeding predictions for the stretch run! (35:03)

Through the hectic lense of the NBA trade deadline, Carl and Brett chat through whether or not our outlook has changed on the Nets chances to: make the playoffs (2:26), win a playoff series!? (6:39) land a max free agent this summer (11:07) as well as be the overall best team in NYC both next year and 5 years from now (13:40) We then tackle core Nets issues like whether it’s as straightforward as it sounds to ‘upgrade the power forward position’ (24:14), Allen Crabbe’s value versus perception (40:04) and end with a snapshot of a surprisingly wild point in time during the Nets tumultuous history (46:48). Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Carl and Brett ignore the State of the Union Address and kick off the inaugural Nets Pulse Podcast! We chat through the latest Nets news from Caris LeVert (and Allen Crabbe’s) seemingly imminent return, to the ramifications of D’Angelo Russell’s all star selection, to Brett’s note from attending Spurs/Nets in person and much, much more!
