The Best Is Net To Come

Nightmare. Waste. At times, even unenjoyable. The guys talk about what went wrong, what could go right, and overall thoughts on the Nets disastrous 2021-22 season. Hosts: Josh Spielman, Rick Ciuba, Mike Rubenstein

The guys discuss how this Nets team fares against a fully loaded Celtics group in the first round. Also, possible upsets are discussed, as well as All NBA predictions. Hosts: Josh Spielman, Rick Ciuba, Mike Rubenstein

Josh and Mike discuss the final week of the regular season, who the Nets may face, their chances at the top half of the play-in bracket, and the teams the wowed and imploded during the second half of the season. Hosts: Josh Spielman and Mike Rubenstein

The Brooklyn Nets are 40-36 and temporarily in the 8th seed. While the distance to the 6th seed grows farther away with each Raptors victory, the 10th seed lurks closer as the Hornets and Hawks keep stacking up W's. Josh and Rick worry about the team's grit, if this was a lost season, and the bench mob's poor performances as of late.  Hosts: Josh Spielman, Rick Ciuba

Kyrie Irving will officially begin playing home games, as Mayor Adams makes an executive decision to allow unvaccinated athletes and other performers in NYC back to their offices. The guys talk about what this means for the Nets, as well as Ben Simmons updates and other news. Hosts: Josh Spielman, Mike Rubenstein, Rick Ciuba

Despite the buzzer beater from Dinwiddie that happened just after this podcast was recorded, The Nets have looked quite alright in the last week. In fact, Kyrie broke a franchise record. Pretty neat. Josh and Mike discuss the past few games, Ben Simmons' back, and seeding leading up to the last few weeks of regulation. Hosts: Josh Spielman, Mike Rubenstein

This pod is a bit late thanks to technical difficulties, so the Nets talk at the top might be a bit outdated by the time you hear this. BUT, we still talk about Kyrie’s vaccine mandate situation and Ben Simmons. At around the fifteen minute mark, we begin the second half of our Post-MJ list of the Top 50 players in the NBA. Thanks for listening! Hosts: Josh Spielman, Rick Ciuba, Mike Rubenstein

The guys discuss the Nets post ASG moves - getting Dragic and dropping Carter, plus the ramp up of KD's return and Simmons. Plus, they begin their own made-up list of Top 50 players since MJ's era. Hosts: Josh Spielman, Mike Rubenstein, Rick Ciuba

This podcast finished recording during the first quarter of the Nets incredible 28-point comeback against the Knicks, in the Garden. Killa Cam!!! Josh and Rick are feeling quite optimistic now that Harden is gone and the Nets have secured solid assets for the forseeable future. They talk about what the fit will be like with Curry, Drummond, and Simmons inserted into the lineup, say goodbye to Bembry, and do a bit of wishful thinking for their mediocre fantasy teams. Hosts: Josh Spielman and Rick Ciuba

So it has come to this. Trade Deadline. Harden may not be a Net by the end of the week. Ben Simmons might, along with someone else from the Sixers. Regardless, these last two weeks have been a travesty. Not a more fitting way than to trade away one of the top 75 best players of all time. The guys also draft Nets as part of their fantasy football teams Hosts: Josh Spielman, Mike Rubenstein, Rick Ciuba
