The Brooklyn Nets remain PERFECT in the preseason!

Brooklyn defeated the Washington Wizards 131-122 to improve to 3-0, and once again there were plenty of encouraging signs from Jordi Fernández's group.

On this episode of Battered Nets Fans, we're breaking down Michael Porter Jr.'s big return, Julius Randle continuing to operate as a playmaker, another impressive performance from Nolan Traoré, Noah Clowney's shooting, Keon Ellis' impact and what Brooklyn's rotations could look like when the regular season begins.

We'll also discuss the areas that still need improvement — including turnovers, interior defense and a difficult shooting night for Egor Dëmin — and whether Brooklyn's explosive preseason offense is something we can actually expect to carry over.

PLUS: the Nets officially unveiled their 2026-27 Classic Edition uniforms and court, celebrating the franchise's ABA roots and the 50th anniversary of the NBA-ABA merger. Are these already among the best Nets uniforms ever?

It's only preseason…but 3-0 is 3-0.

The Brooklyn Nets are off to an encouraging start to the preseason.

Brooklyn followed up its dominant win over Charlotte with another victory, this time beating the Philadelphia 76ers 114-108 to improve to 2-0.

On this episode of Battered Nets Fans, we’re breaking down what stood out from the win, the continued growth of the young core, the performances from Egor Dëmin and the rest of Brooklyn’s developing rotation, and what these first two preseason games may be telling us about this team.

It’s only preseason, but the energy, aggressiveness and overall development are giving Nets fans something to be excited about.

Is this team further along than we expected?

The new-look Brooklyn Nets have officially taken the floor — and there was a LOT to like.

Brooklyn opened the preseason with a dominant 124–90 win over the Charlotte Hornets, and on this episode of Battered Nets Fans, we're breaking down our first real look at the 2026–27 Nets.

How did Jordi Fernández's new starting lineup look? Is Egor Dëmin becoming the more aggressive offensive player Nets fans have been waiting for? And most importantly, what did we learn from our first look at Julius Randle and Michael Porter Jr. playing together?

MPJ finished with 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting and 4-of-6 from three, while Randle had 13 points, 3 assists and zero turnovers. We even got an early glimpse of their chemistry when Randle created a bucket for Porter.

Dëmin's night is more nuanced. He finished with 6 points and 5 assists in 18 minutes, shooting 2-of-5 — with both makes coming from three — and attempted zero free throws. So while his playmaking was encouraging, I wouldn't say one preseason game answered the question about attacking the paint yet. That's actually a very good debate for the show.

It's only preseason — but after one game, are we starting to see what this Nets team could become?
