Official 2015-16 Brooklyn Nets Season Watch Thread (21-59, 3rd slot as of 4/12)

6ers are down 7-9, but they actually seem to be trying.  This looks promising......!

It's annoying though that Bogdanovich is all of a sudden 3x better than he was and playing better than RHJ.

As embarrassing as the Sixers are, BB and the players ALWAYS try, and they try hard too. The players just aren't very good.

Those Sixers fans masquerading as Celtics fans won't want Philly to win this one , get too close to the Lakers and screw up their 25% shot at Simmons.

Good (tommy) point

Man the 76ers are truly awful.  If they win this game, I will be flabergasted.  Somehow it's in play though

Technically if the season ended today, Philly would have a 33.8% chance at Simmons seeing as they can swap picks with the Kings and the Kings have the 5th worst record. 

But I'm not sure how Philly winning this would have anything to do with the Lakers.   Lakers aren't finishing with a worst record than Philly.  Lakers need to lose all the games they can, because if they fall out of the top 3 (45% chance of happening right now), their pick goes to Philly... but it would be pretty surprising if the Lakers finished with a worst record than Philly this year.

What you're really trying to say is...

As a Celtic fan, we want Brooklyn to lose so the pick they owe us stays juicy.

As a Laker hater, we want Philly to lose so it hurts the Lakers chance of having the top draft odds.

I think the game is over

I don't think it would be at all surprising if Philly ended up with a similar record to LA at the end of the year. On one hand people say Wroten, Thompson, Okafor, Noel, Stauskas, Thompson are all NBA caliber players, but the on the other hand they will win 4 games all year. It can't be both.

You must be on pins and needles watching this. You love the Sixers, but you do want the Nets to win to save face after all that 500 talk.

Nets vs Sixers

This is a really tough game for LB33. He loves the Sixers, but wants the Nets to win so our pick isn't high.

Eddie, do you dream about me?

I know that what's I don't get. Okafor and Noel are supposedly future superstars, but the team is worse than last year. Were the early Durant/Westbrook teams this bad?

Sometimes even daydream.

Who are you rooting for? Honestly, man.

[celticsclay]

The 76ers are an embarrassment. They are getting more than doubled by the Nets right now. They are barely outscoring Bogdanovitch. Sign Elton brand, Glenn Davis,  hell Beasely. Glenn will take a few charges and grab some rebounds and end the embarrassment. 

[Quetzalcoatl]

The 76ers are acting like they already lost.  They look atrocious.  They were frisky at the beginning of the season, too.

[max215]

Cut the lead to 10!!!

Have you written any long-form fan fiction about me or is your creative outlet for LB33 fantasies exclusive to unsolicited forum posts in basketball threads?    I want to encourage you to keep writing your stories, Eddie.  Just change the name of the seductive Philly fan heartthrob to something other than LB33 and see if you can get it published.  That's how E. L. James got her start.

What should I title it? Should I be creative and make it a fictional piece were all your ridiculous predictions come to fruition as you masquerade as a C's fan while making post after post to the contrary?
