On Stephen A’s World, the host discussed what the Nets’ playoff exit meant for the league, “What we witnessed last night, what we witnessed with the Brooklyn Nets getting swept out of the playoffs was justice.

“After last night, after getting swept in the first round, sent packing on their home court, having to go through the play-in round, just for the honor of getting swept on their home court. This Brooklyn Nets team will forever be remembered as a cautionary tale.”
