Official 2015-16 Brooklyn Nets Season Watch Thread (21-59, 3rd slot as of 4/12)

Maybe a miracle will happen and the Suns will beat the Nets.

It can happen. It can.

Maybe the Nets will stay at a Hilton in Phoenix and Lopez will get the room with the bed bugs like Irving just did

Tomorrow's game in Phoenix is the Game of the Year....It should be on TNT, ABC, ESPN and NBATV---Could determine our fate for the next decade.

I wish that tankathon listed the current odds for getting a top 5 pick.

Brooklyn's currently in #4, so their odds of a top 5 pick would be 82.8%.  If they drop to #5 it'd be 55.2%.  It gets wonky if there are ties, though, it'd be nice for tankathon to help with that.

I might pin somewhere on here for reference.  Is that alright?

[PhoSita]

I'm OK with a 83% chance at a top 5 pick.  Really hope BRK stays where they are (or drop back down to 3, that'd be nice, but I'm not counting on it).

Of course, it's not mine, I just lifted it from a GIS.

Agreed.  It's impractical to ask for anything better than that with another team's pick.

Wow, we have such a low probability of getting the 4th seed, guess it makes sense. 0.378 chance to get a top 3 pick and 0.351 to get number 5. So we'll have about the same chance of being lucky as being where we will most likely be. And then of course a smaller chance of being totally screwed

Suns are horrible now..

[max215]

And the Nets have officially waived their third best player. Fantastic news!

I think the question becomes - does JJ make the Nets worse when he's not in the game?

I'm leaning towards yes for sure.

Yup he does. Their offense is -2.9 net rating when he's in the game with Lopez, but when he comes out and its just Lopez? -14.9 net offensive rating. Johnson's absence hurts the Nets. A LOT.

Wow how do I look up Eric Bledsoe's impact on the Suns?  We might be back in this thing!!!

It looks like Joe has a bigger impact on the Nets than Bledsoe on the Suns. Obviously, that's an oversimplification, but this is awesome news.
