Some fans just need a scapegoat in the rotation I guess.   Couldn't have been poor defensive rotations or nonexistent perimeter shooting.

Ah well, glad to see the Nets lost.

Nets pick questions of the week....

The Wolves (21 wns) play Phoenix (17 wins) on Monday.

Who do we want to win while Nets currently have 18 wins?

Keep in mind that the Nets play the Bucks in New Jersey the Sunday night before.
To extend the Wolves gap between 4th and 5th worst or get the Suns to tie them for 3/4th worst?

I think it depends on who do you trust more, The Wolves winning or the Suns winning. I think there's a higher chance the wolves keep in front of the Nets than the Suns sliding down to 4th, so Id go with Suns in this one because any win they get is very helpful.

It's really good to see Wiggins learning to take advantage of his driving ability like that.  I like game winners that involve a high usage player passing to a low usage one.

I would go for the Suns to win , I think that the Wolves will win enough to maintain  their lead of the Nets for the remainder of the season.
TP for maintaining the rage over the full season chambers , good to see  :)

I'm on the fence on that one.  I'd honestly given up hope that the Suns will finish the season with more wins than Brooklyn, and I still feel that way even though they're now just 1 win behind.  The Suns have been on a different level of terrible.

I'd probably go with wanting Minnesota to win since they still makes me a little nervous.  Hard to get greedy and hope that both the Wolves and Suns finish with more wins than the Nets.  Minny is a very young team and it shows often, especially in the 4th.  I was shocked that they were able to finish the deal against OKC.  Rubio gets the credit for the win, but KAT made a really tough drive and fade-away jumper in the paint on the play before that to give the TWolves the lead.

Wolves 3 games up, and playing decently.  Suns only one back, I'm rooting for the Suns.  Yeah, I'm greedy.

Looking at the remaining games on the Nets schedule , and the thought that several teams might be shutting it down for the season to get better lottery picks, you have New Orleans who may be doing so, Orlando is a chance if they don't win many games soon.The Wizards have 2 games the last week of the season up against the Nets, if they still aren't in with a chance of making the playoffs they may try and save their top 9 pick going to the Suns.
So there could be 4 games that the Nets play that their opponents want to lose.
Interesting to see how it plays out.

Well Phoenix lost to GSW, but they were beating them up until 3 minutes remaining in the fourth.

Getting Brandon Knight back for the Suns is huge for our Brooklyn pick. He's worth some extra wins IMO and the Suns have been playing very well. I think they probably separate themselves by a few wins from BRK by the end of the year.

Starting to get more hopeful that BRK will finish with the 3rd worst record.

If the Nets beat Milwaukee on Sunday, with their next game hosting Philly, I'd go with Minny because the Nets might be closing to within one of Minny otherwise.  But, if the Nets lose to Milwaukee, we'd have a little more breathing room, so I supposed I'd be ok with PHO winning - although I think I'd still be 'rooting' for Minny to lock up the 4th worst.

Nets in a tight one with the Bucks.  Could come down to the wire.
