With this a done deal (rumored to be done), can NJ make the playoffs this season?

Detroit plays Indiana tonight. I say the winner gets the 8th seed.

I voted no.

To make up 8 games with 25 to 27 games left is really difficult.

I don't see NJ playing much better than .500 ball the rest of the way ... which would mean Indiana would have to lose about 25 of their remaining 30 games.

Yeah, the Nets have little to no hope of making the playoffs. I'd be shocked if they made a run at it. Just too far back in the standings and not enough time left to make it up.
