The Brooklyn Nets continue to struggle at the start of the 2022-23 NBA season after losing their fourth consecutive game, this time to the Indiana Pacers at home (125-116).
Steve Nash’s team is now 1-5 in the season, and according to ESPN, the Nets held a players-only meeting after their loss against Indiana.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to Brooklyn’s fourth loss in a row, plus the players-only meeting.
Nash is obviously gonna be Fall Guy #1 for the Nets… but the Simmons trade was a catastrophe, Kyrie is one of the biggest week to week distractions in recent NBA history, and the front office has absolutely stunk for two-plus years.

Nets locker room is still not open yet. This is very unusual. Usually it opens up right after Nash speaks.

Simmons said the Nets had a players-only meeting after the game. He said it was an honest and open conversation.

The Nets are FAR more embarrassing & disappointing than the Lakers. They play like they want the coach fired.
Oh wait!

Everyone wants to talk about the lakers but no one is talking about how the nets might be worse with all due respect

Players see Nets on their schedule and tell themselves it’s time to pad these stats for my next contract.

Nets got the worst defense in the league.
Lakers got the worst offense in the league.
You can’t make this up.

Players only meeting for the Nets 6 games into the season
I really didn’t think it was possible for this year to be worse than last year

First NBA “players only meeting” of the season goes to the 1-5 Brooklyn Nets.

Richard Jefferson calls out Kyrie Irving on YES broadcast: “…It is disappointing, Kyrie says that he’s not antisemitic and these things, but the tweet is still up. The tweet is still up there.” #Nets pic.twitter.com/d98Q5rcAjw

Somebody really needed to sit Kyrie down & give him some books. Not the self-published kind sold on the corner. Actual books that were originally printed in hard back copies. He’s always talking about what he finds on YouTube or a Google search, when he needs to visit a library.

Well, that was quite the press conference. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kyrie is done with the Nets or maybe even the league.

The Oklahoma City Thunder currently have the same number of wins as the Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Los Angeles Lakers combined.

What a weird day for the NBA.
Nets lost to Pacers.
Warriors lost to Hornets
Memphis lost to Jazz
Heat lost to King
Dallas lost to OKC.— Hoop 🏀 Junction (@ola_kunbo007) October 30, 2022
The Nets built their current team around a toxic, selfish, locker room poison in Kyrie Irving.
They are reaping what they have sown.
Horrible performance on the court; Kyrie’s stupid bullshit off the court. https://t.co/Y63jrqVKnC

Nets and Lakers in a battle to be the worst team in the NBA, and with their rosters, that’s actually crazy

Ja and Banes – 38 points a piece.
Giannis is 43-14-5
Luka – 41-14-11
Mathurin- Career high 32 points. Btw he’s a Rookie.
The entire league knows the Nets are soft!!! EVERYONE has them circled on the calendar.
Carry the hell on…

Total Rebounds this season (6 Games):
Brooklyn Nets Opponents: 283
Brooklyn Nets Themselves: 235— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) October 30, 2022
It’s officially time to panic about the Nets.
Their defense lacks cohesion allows opponents to get hot from three, and Ben Simmons is floater-reliant on offense (at best). A lot of work to do, if it’s even ever going to be done.
