Obligatory "they are only 25 games under .500.  Let's not get too excited just yet."

The Lakers are starting to look like the second worst team. Hopefully there's too much distance between them and the Nets.

and down the stretch the shameful Lakers will be intentionally trying to lose games while Brooklyn will be trying to win.

Is their pick this year top 3 protected?

yes.  Hence why they are in the bottom 3.   I suspect they will do everything they can to stay there.

Jeremy Lin reinjured, will be out 3-5 weeks. I'll look for the link.

They would be in more of a bind than us if they get Fultz or Ball, as they already have Dangelo Russell who is still cheap and young. They will be in Sixers Okafor/Noel territory.

I am more worried about the ping pong balls than I am about the Nets.

True, but we can't control the ping pong balls whereas, by posting here multiple times per day, we are helping to defeat the Nets.

Me too. I am convinced the Nets are the league's worst team and have 100% confidence they will have the worse record. But I have no faith in lottery balls to give us a top 3 pick, nevermind the first pick

This race is just about over. They have 38 games left and need at least 5 wins to tie the Heat. Lets say the Heat play at a 200% clip. That means they will likely win between 6 - 8 more games. Does anyone see the Nets winning 11 -13 out of the next 38?

Playing the simulated lottery on "Tankathon" several times a day helps with the ping pong balls. I'm convinced of it.

I don't know man, all that work we all did last year, and then on lottery night the NBA forgot to hit the "sim lottery" button and so we got stuck with the pre-lottery standings.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class
