This Nets fan on Twitter probably wishes Jarrett Allen didn’t see his message.
What a day. The Brooklyn Nets, without their top eight scorers after the team ruled out Caris LeVert, Joe Harris and Jarrett Allen for Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, managed to upset the NBA’s top team in shocking fashion.
That’s back-to-back wins for the Nets, who captured the 119-116 win today and defeated the Washington Wizards on Sunday, after getting run out of the gym against the Orlando Magic in their first game back for the NBA restart.
Brooklyn closed as 18.5-point underdogs, so one Nets fan knew the odds were in his favor to make this bold claim on Twitter. But don’t worry guys, Jarrett Allen has the receipts and he’s not going to let this guy get away with it.
Oh MAN! Get ready for a colossal tattoo that’s going to cover your ENTIRE back, buddy! We need this to come to fruition, so maybe Allen can offer to pay for this guy’s ink? Get the tattoo appointment on Instagram Live or something?
Since the game’s result, @birdsnets changed his name on Twitter to “Tattoo Circumstances.” It’s unclear if his account was locked before all of this, but one can imagine he might have switched to private after Allen dropped this tweet to his 28,000 followers.
As if this writing, it’s already been retweeted 1,200 times and even the Nets official account hopped in on the action!
Ok. Now this is real. There’s no way this can be avoided. And how great is this for Allen? He did absolutely nothing today to lift his team to victory and now gets to have fun with this discourse on Twitter.
What started out as a dismal day after the Nets ruled out three of their starters and lost Jamal Crawford thanks to a strained hamstring somehow turned around and produced these two glorious moments. Long live the NBA bubble.
