The Nets are going to be bad but that's not going to stop me from rooting for them to exceed expectations.

I think the Bulls and Hawks are going to be worse. After that, there's a bunch of teams that are going to be bad. The Kings, Suns, and Lakers will be bad and have superior competition in the West driving their win totals down. In the East, the Pacers, Magic, and Knicks have some more talent but could still be really bad.

As bad as the Nets will be, it's still conceivable to me that they could wind up with the 9th pick.

How funny would it be if Jarett Allen turns out to be the best player in this draft class?

Ha not that funny. I sure hope Tatum is better.

I think Lonzo, Tatum, Smith, and Fox will be the best players from this draft class.

A lot of bad teams in the East. I'm happy that we have Kyrie. Watching BKN collect 30 something wins would have been brutal.

Besides Porzingis, what talent do the Knicks have?  Their starting lineup yesterday was Sessions, Hardaway, McDermott, Porzingis and Quinn.  That is a tankalicious, craptastic lineup.

Yeah the Knicks are terrible. But just having Porzingis puts them ahead of the Hawks and Bulls, in my mind. Those teams have absolutely nobody (especially for as long as Lavine is sidelined).

Nets really looking like a playoff team right now. I know its just a preseason but D'Angelo is thriving under Atkinson's system. I think Magic screwed up.

Lakers screwed up too.   He was their best gun .  Ball has nobody to pass too that ia a knock down shooter .

Lopez was not worth a 2 nd round pick.

Nets looking good. Thankfully danny sold high on the pick

They could very well be 8th seed with how bad the east is

it's October and the nets look good


It has to be a thought that the nets do not look like the worst team in the nba. They might not even be one of the 5 worsT. They're up almost 20 on the up and rising heat
