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

I don't think anybody's even mentioned the fact that the Nets lost to a short handed Spurs team by 26 points today. Can't believe we just took that for granted.

EVERYONE BACK ONTO WAITERS ISLAND!!!

he should have waited .6 seconds lol

if he missed, that .6 likely gets consumed during rebound.

Jeremy Lin is out another 3- 5 weeks after further aggravating his hamstring.

Thank god the Nets have been ravaged by injuries like last season

Heat beat the Warriors! Now SIX wins up on the Nets!

Does that make the Lakers the largest threat to our NETANK?

Still Miami for now.  They've got three games coming up with Brooklyn to get back in it, although I don't think it matters.

I agree. The Lakers are the closest, but there are three games remaining heads-up MIA v BKN. If BKN takes all three and Miami ends up trading somebody, it could be close again.

I was thinking of restarting the thread that slamtheking does every year, tracking draft pick position. We've got five full games on the closest competitor, the Lakers, so it may just be counting down the inevitable but, until it's clinched, I remain nervous.

I thought the Nets were pretty healthy last year. All they reallt did was lose Jack and RHJ for a half season each. Other than that they were healthy.

I'm pretty sure it was sarcasm given LarBrd's constant BS about how the Nets were totally decimated by injuries last year and trying to use that as an excuse on why they weren't able to compete for a playoff spot.

I think it's 90% certain the Nets will finish with the worst record and 100% they'll finish in the top 3. It's looking good for us. A almost guaranteed top 4 pick in this draft isn't too shabby.

Boston should reverse tank and give the Lakers another win when we play them...

I'll take the better chance at home court during the 1st round of the playoffs versus worrying about the Nets only having a 6 game lead on LAL for the worst record in the NBA.

The day the Celtics lose to the Lakers on purpose is the day I stop being a Celtic fan and NBA watcher

did this notion of losing to the Lakers actually get posted here?  talk about a post that would inspire the reinstatement of giving negative TPs

that is a win SlamKing... you have to think critically here. Any Laker win is a LOSS for the Lakers.

In the world of tanking a win is a loss and vice versa.

I've never rooted for the Celtics to tank and would certainly not do so in a game against the Lakers. My goal for that game is to top the 49-point margin by which the Mavs defeated them.
