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

[Denis998]

Joe Johnson questionable for tomorrow night.

The way he's been playing, I'm not sure that's actually good for us.

Mike

He's actually been really good recently despite his struggles on the year.

I haven't been watching him too closely, but in his last 10 games, he's shooting .361 and averaging 11 points in 35 minutes, almost exactly the same as his season average.

Mike

I guess it was just the two games against us. For some reason I thought he'd been solid for a week or so.

Hey, these games are so spread out that it might be two games in a week! But it was definitely only those two games against us. He also scored 17 against us in November. Maybe it's not that he's so good...

Mike

More of a factor is who replaces JJ when he is out, and who replaces his replacement.

[mef730]

Per ESPN, Joe Johnson is likely, with Bogs and Ellington the possible backups.

DeMarre Carroll undergoing arthroscopic surgery. Obviously, will not be playing.

I think Jae Crowder playing him so physically woke him up a little. His biggest problem this year offensively has been dead legs on his jumpers and floaters. Everything's arms for him - gets no consistent power from his base.

Have the nets lost ground on every team in the east in the last 10 games except philly?

They're even with Charlotte at 3-7 but yes, basically.  They've gained ground on no one in the East, at least.

Yes, and I think a lot of us considered these games to be on the easier side. LAL has picked up ground, Phoenix was the big loser. NO now ahead by one game, but they'll start to pull it together. Our friends in AZ and, to some extent, Denver, remain my only true fears, but the Lakers could show us some upside.

Phoenix is definitely in play, and honestly I would have to concede that the Nets will pass them because of the Bledsoe injury. I guess there is a small chance they win some games cause there are more bad teams in the West, but generally the talent just isn't there and I am pretty sure they will offload Chandler before too long (along with Morris). Unless they get back Vets that becomes an awful team.

I would be more surprised/disappointed if they passed Denver. Denver wins a few games every year at home that they shouldn't because teams get gassed and are not use to playing at that altitude. In addition, they have some pretty steady veterans on that team in Galinari and Faried to go along with emerging young talent in Barton, Jokic, Mudiay and a potentially nice piece in Harris. It is hard to see them getting anything worthwhile for Faried or Galinari right now so their best moves may be to grow with that team which is capable of playing decent.

Celtics announcers just speculated that Detroit could end up trading Brandon Jennings to NY or Brooklyn. Can somebody come up with a reasonable package that the Nets could offer, since I'm having a lot of trouble doing so that Detroit wouldn't laugh at.

Mike

[chambers]

Raptors up by 12 points with 5 minutes left.
On track for exactly 23 wins.

Mike

only player I could see Brooklyn offering that Detroit could use is Thad.  solid player to put out there off the bench or bring Morris off the bench.  still not sold that Detroit would do that

Hurts them more than it helps, in my opinion. They could maybe offer up Bogs, but I doubt they bite on that either.

thought about Bargs to backup Drummond but Baynes (sp?) is better.

I don't think anyone is offering a first round pick for him. Maybe a couple second rounders gets it done.

Danny should call up Detroit and say whatever Brooklyn offers you, we will top.
