Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images Your social media feed might as well be your father’s morning newspaper at this point. It’s brighter, it moves, it delivers news instantaneously and endlessly.

Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images Cam Johnson is enjoying this rendition of the NBA playoffs just like the rest of us. From a purist basketball fan’s perspective, this year’s Larry O’Brien pursuit has been an entertainment spectacle on par with an M. Night Shyamalan film. With every game — every 50/50 moment — the league seemed get the outcome it needed to further its postseason plot. But while captivating, it also hasn’t been a playoffs without bitterness or what we call “hate watching” on Twitter.

The Nets don’t announce what draft prospects they’re working out at HSS Training Center or even the schedule of how often they have guys in. It’s all state secrets, a far cry from the days a decade ago when the team’s top scout would hold court with beat reporters following each session, providing thumbnail profiles of each player.

Scouting SCOUT - Insights on Episode 2 of Brooklyn Nets Pre-Draft Docuseries

4 weeks ago | netsdaily.com | Collin Helwig

The Brooklyn Nets first post-lottery episode of SCOUT has finally dropped. This one had a bit more anticipation than your average sequel.
