Brooklyn Nets 2017-2018 season watch thread

[viulo]

Good win in Memphis.
Nets now 7-12 with 10 games played on the road. Lakers 8-11 with 8 games on the road.
I still think the Lakers will be worse than Brooklyn. Doubt they'll be top five worst, though. But any Nets win is good so that the pick Cleveland gets isn't a high one.

Good job nets. Were gonna need Memphis to start winning games soon

My biggest fear with that pick was that Cleveland would trade it to get more talent around Lebron. Every win deeper into the season makes that value a bit lower

I know this team is fun to watch but for some stupid reason I'm still kind of sad we traded the pick. I want the Nets to win as much games as possible in order for me to feel confident that we won the Cavs trade. Am I nuts or what? I even found my self not really worried about the outcome of our game against the Nets cause even if we had lost that night, at least the pick would have become a little less valuable.

Really like Ayton. Think he would have been a great fit for the C's as a long term replacement for Horford. Thankfully, chances are that he won't be available with the Nets pick.

I don't feel as sad as I used to. I fee the nets didn't win their 7th game last year until mid December. They are a lot more competitive this year and it would be truly maddening to keep seeing them win games. Their young talent is significantly better than last year as crabbe, rhj and russel would all be rotation players on decent teams.

Booker came up huge on those two FT misses...Nets hang on!

Lakers will have the same record if GS wins tonight!

[Adelaide Celt]

That would've been infuriating if we still had the Nets pick.

Another nice win for the nets

Nets are gonna flirt with the playoffs. The stubborn people on that pick have to give in at some point

Beating Dallas is not proof that they are a decent team.

Nets coaching is what makes the difference-We all saw what Danny and Brad did
.A team that scraps on defense doesn't give up and runs the court can compete in regular season -That means overachieve and if other teams are tanking or resting people at end of season while Nets are still scrapping and playing for positions next season, they can quickly jump up in standings toward end of season.Glad we traded for Irving

That's a stretch. They'd have to jump Charlotte, Orlando, Miami, Washington, and New York just to get to #8. I don't see them sniffing the playoffs.

But I do think they can keep pace and win 30-32 games which would likely put the pick in the 6-8 range. I'm hopeful they can do better than that but not much.

I absolutely expect them to jump Orlando. Orlando had a nice win over a dysfunctional okc team last night but they have played like one of the worst teams in the league since a hot start. I'm not sold on the Knicks being 20 wins better than last year just from dumping Carmelo. Wall is injured right now and charlotte seems like a mess. There is also a difference between flirting with and making it. By that I mean they could still be hanging around 3 games out of it in April. If you look at their scores and schedule they have been in just about every game and have lost a few they probably should have won. They have also already made two west coast trips

I will gain some confidence if they win their next two against Atlanta. Would show they are a bit better than the bottom teams. If they win those two games they will have 10 wins on December 4th. Guess when they had their 10th win last year? March 1st!
