How are the Nets doing tonight, oh wait.

Who,are they playing tonight ?

They are playing their beneficiary.

Us .....Celtics Blog ......say Thank you Brooklin

I think we should all create our own team and play the Nets tbh.

I have a question.

Why is there a Brooklyn Nets thread on a Celtic Blog? Do the Celtics have an ownership interest in the Nets?

[Ogaju]

the refs are killing Miami.

Deron Williams is 1 assist from a ignominious triple double -- points, turnovers and assists.

Tempting to start up the old Official 2018 Brooklyn Nets Watch!!

Pretty funny that Brooklyn's going to wind up with almost exactly the same record as last season but they'll be comfortably in #1 instead of #3 and way ahead of the bottom 2.  Cellar teams weren't nearly as atrocious this year.

Possibly with the #1 pick in the 2017 draft AND possibly with the #1 seed in the East? Oh baby!

Yeah, we've lucked out with these Brooklyn picks in a number of ways, not the least of which is that there were a ton of teams tanking 2 and 3 years ago and now all of those teams are in a different part of the rebuilding cycle so you don't have the pileup at the bottom that there was for the Wiggins and then Towns drafts. If there was the same kind of tanking going on in the league the Nets might be #5 or #6. But the only real tankers this seasons were LA and Phoenix and no one in the East was trying to lose games (even Philly started to pivot toward winning more this season).

We have a significant equity ownership in their future.

We are outsourceing tanking via Nets. We have to watch and evaluate how well they are at their job.

Imagine being the Lakers and having to tank by losing your own games a bunch of years in a row

LOL, the Lakers won yet again and are locked in at #3 now. 

Assuming Brooklyn loses tonight with half their roster sitting, they'll finish between 4-7 games short of catching Phoenix + LA.  This is why a lot of people weren't too worried even as they started heating up late.  It was just too much to get out of the hole they dug over the first 75% of the year.

And I'm rooting for them to finish at #3. If they still owe their pick to PHL next year, it will be unprotected, so I won't have to worry about them tanking.
