Timberwolves leading the Spurs... this is approaching Pareto !!!!

Not quite how I'd use "Pareto", but TP for the attempt :)

LOL ... you are of course right...what we need to happen to the Nets is the exact opposite of a Pareto. The Nets must lose for us to win. So it is a lose-win, and not a win-win. I should used 'utopia' instead. TP to you for catching that.

I would not trade both of nets picks..  Both are top 5... Trade something else top get a bog guy.. And try to get another Harford guy in free agency

Three huge wins/losses for us. Among all the glorious nights that our draft pick has had this year, last night was definitely one of the gloriousest.

Sixers win again.   I don't think they are in the discussion anymore.  I think we'll probably only be focusing on the Heat and perhaps the Suns from here on out.

I think it's really just Miami we need to worry about.  The Suns would have to be unbelievably bad to make up a five game deficit over their final 41 games.

It's hard for me to imagine BKN cracking 20 wins this season.

Well, the Heat are 4 games up on the Nets.  So, are you saying the worry is over? ;)

The Heat and Nets play 3 games against each other.  I'll get comfortable when the Heat are 6 games up.

Another point to keep in mind is that the nets are 1-18 on the road. And, most of their remaining games are on the road. 

This is a good thing.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

True. 22 road, 19 home. Unfortunately, two of those home games are against Miami.

Actually, the home schedule has quite a few winnable games for the Nets.

San Antonio
Miami (2X)
NYK (2X)
Indiana
Toronto
Washington
Memphis
Milwaukee
OKC
Boston
Dalllas
Detroit
Phoenix
Philly
Orlando
Atlanta
Chicago

The plus side is that they have seven games in the first 12 days of April (including Orlando, ATL and Chicago at home). I'm hoping that they sit Lopez like they did last year, and that Atlanta and Chicago are fighting for playoff spots until the last day.

IF Brooklyn finishes last:

We have a 25% chance of landing the 1st pick.

We have a 44.9% chance of landing a top 2 pick.

We have a 60.5% chance of landing a top 3 pick.

We are guaranteed to land a top 4 pick.

Let's keep this perspective, folks.  Maybe more on getting a top 3 or 4 pick, since the odds are still against us of landing a top 2 pick (which in likelihood will be Fultz and Ball).

Yes...this a good reminder.

And, if Brooklyn finishes 2nd to last its:

19.9% 1st pick
18.8% 2nd
17.1% 3rd
31.9% 4th
12.3% 5th.

So, the odds don't drop THAT much.  Either way, 1 or 2 puts us in a very enviable position.

A guaranteed Top 4 or 5 pick in this draft would look good for the C's.

Still love to get a top 2. One of Fultz or Ball could offer more security and extend our title window beyond IT's prime. What's the feeling on Smart around here? I assume people on this thread are thinking 5 years down the road like me.
