Why is Lopez even still playing at this point? It's got to be like a 95% chance that they trade him this summer, since there's no real reason to retain him next summer, so why are they even risking injury for him at this point?

maybe no one wants to pay his price so they may have to keep him. i haven't heard of any interested teams. also winning sticks it to ainge if they get out of last.

lol I don't know why either.

Maybe they're trying to instill that winning culture everyone is always talking about. Don't give up until the last game is over.

I think its possible they believe a strong finish could give them some level of positive momentum to sell free agents on.

thats all I can think of.

so, post for the doom and gloomers to ease their panic:
Lakers have a 5 game lead on the Nets in the standings with each having 9 games to play. 

Nets would have to close out 5-4 with the Lakers going 0-9.

Nets have games against these teams remaining:
- 2 against the Sixers
- 1 against Detroit
- 2 against Orlando
- 1 against Atlanta
- 2 against Chicago
- 1 against Boston

They may get 1 against the Sixers who are actually trying to win games and could take 2 against Orlando who are underachieving (I think only 1 is really possible but both games are a possibility) but with everyone else fighting for playoffs or seeding, I don't see Brooklyn picking up more than 3 wins if that much.

Thank you sixers!  :D

Nets have to finish 5-3 to have a chance at tying the Lakers.

The Nets have not gone 5-3 in any 8 game stretch since the 2014-2015 season.
