The Official 2016-2017 Brooklyn Nets Season Watch Thread (20-62, #1)

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

I simulated the lottery...I got fourth...

I did even worse. We finished second, but the Lakers were first.

Out of eight sims, I got the first pick for us only twice, which kind of ticked me off until I remembered, oh, yeah, that whole "math" thing...

Last time I tried it, we got the fourth pick in 5 of 6 spins, and pick 3 the other time.  I'm staying away.

Is there anybody playing for the Spurs tonight? Parker, Manu, Gasol, Leonard all sitting.

It's okay. David Lee to the rescue

All kidding aside, lee is probably better than anyone on that team other than lopez, kilpatrick, or uninjured lin. Lavert has a good game here and there but I feel is inconsistent.

You take Lopez out of the Nets and man.. what a horrible team (and yes, they are already horrible with him lol). Lin injured as well so...

I've watched a ton of Nets games this season, and I gotta say, their commentators might be the most impartial in the NBA.

Well it's easy to be impartial when you don't have anything to hope for.

Would be cool if they get Celtics commentators calling the Nets games.

Agreed.  Ian Eagle is a great play by play announcer.  Jim Spanarkel is pretty good too.  Their crew is among the best in pro basketball in my opinion.

New Orleans has some pretty objective and entertaining commentators, too. They're very knowledgeable about other teams, as well.

Not to jinx anything, but Miami is up 5 on Golden State midway through the 4th.
