Official NJ Nets Watch

[Stifle Tower]

I remember thinking Orlando would win mutliple championships with Shaq and Penny. We all saw how that turned out. If the lottery was fixed, teams such as Toronto, Milwaukee, Washington and the Clippers would not have ended up with the first pick.

Then maybe this means we're due.

Does anyone else think that Avery Johnson sounds like the biggest tool earth has ever known when he speaks of deron?

fixed that for you.

And yes he does sound like the biggest tool the Earth has ever known.

The freaking Nets play better without Dwill. They are up 13 at half time.

They're playing Washington.

 

[billyshelby]

Tied!

 

[Headtrip]

They're playing Washington.

Touche. I counter with, they are the Nets.

They must have remembered that because Washington is up 3. =)

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Wow, Washington has outscored them by 20 in 13 minutes.

 

[BENTLEY]

Wiz up 4 with 46 seconds left.

 

[BENTLEY]

It's final.

Nets 92
Wiz 98

 

[David Ginola 14]

Good L....

 

[Headtrip]

Now we need Toronto to pull off the upset. Hopefully Detroit can pull this one out as well.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Way to go Washington!
NJ still has 7 very winnable games left on their schedule. Even if they win all 7, the Clippers, Bucks and Bobcats should all reach at least 30 wins. Only team in doubt now is the Pistons. Detroit has a tougher schedule to close out the season. I'll be surprised if they win more than 3 games. I'm still projecting a #7 slot. Then we just hope that Utah jumps up to one of the top-3 picks, or at least no other team below #7 moves up.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Nets blow one of their most winnable games, that helps. Deron will be out a few games, possibly the rest of the season. About a 50/50 shot we hold onto 6.

Toronto pulls off the win in OKC. Not too far behind NJ....

 

[BENTLEY]

Wow. Great day for Jazz draft picks.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Toronto pulls off the win in OKC. Not too far behind NJ....

Not gonna happen. NJ has a much easier schedule. In fact, they should catch Detroit AND have an outside shot at the Clippers.

1. New Jersey has 8 very winnable games left (Indiana, @Cleveland, Houston, Minnesota, @Detroit, New York, @Toronto, Charlotte).
2. Toronto: Only 5 games that are reasonably winnable: @Clippers, Bucks, Cavs, Nets, @Bucks.
3. LA Clippers have a brutal schedule to finish, similar to the Jazz. I only see two more games where the Clippers will be favorites to win (vs. Washington and Toronto). Maybe add the last game vs. Memphis if the Grizzlies have already clinched the #8 seed.

Jazz will most likely get the #7 pick, perhaps even #8 if the Nets get hot again.

 

[BENTLEY]

Hey, Toronto beat OKC tonight and I never woulda classified that game as "winnable."
Also, Jersey lost to the Wizards today and no one woulda classifed that game as "loseable."

so who knows?

You have Nets winning 30 games this season (if they win all 8 "winnable" games). Maybe. Maybe they finish in the 20s.

Looking at the Clips I can see them finishing the season with 29, but I'll hope for a few more wins.
Detroit I can maybe see them finishing with 34 wins.

 

[Fishsticks]

I would not classify Indiana, ny or Houston as winnable. I mean all games are winnable to point these out somehow implies that they should win. I will bet you they lose to all three.
