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

Now I can go to sleep happy.  A Nets win bothers me as much as a Celtics loss these days.

it actually bothers be more if the nets win, it ruins my day really.

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

okay, I'm not mad at you guys anymore. Sorry.

[Rick Robeys Return]

maybe they'll be so disheartened that they'll stop trying!

[Vox_Populi]

Some people might see this as an indicator Brooklyn are better than we thought. I disagree, bad teams find a way to lose. And they did.

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

nets are turning it around, look for them to cheat us out of the best pick.

yeah but they only need to be better than the other bad teams, they look good enough for that now.

[MJohnnyboy]

Remember when the Knicks beat the Spurs last year? The blind squirrel finds the acorn once in a while...

And yeah I'm really counting on Jack and Young putting up 20+ on a nightly basis.

Until the Nets win more than 2 in a row, I'll remain unconvinced.

[Adelaide Celt]

Like I said, that was unreasonable. Should have been enjoying a nice, cruisey win for Golden State. Instead I'm waiting for my blood pressure to return to normal.    At least it is returning to normal and not getting progressively higher after a Nets win!

Ehh, they also lost to a pretty bad Kings team last night that didn't have Gay. In all honesty, I think some teams play better on the tail end of a back-to-back, similar to us last year when we were so good at those games.

Let's also not forget that Golden State played and shot horribly, and they didn't have Klay and Barbosa.

Jack and Young both had career nights. For some reason that seems unsustainable to me.

Looks pretty close to being a foul by Bogut.

Also the Warriors lost a game to the Lakers last season. They're due for a loss soon, thankfully not today!

Nah, you gotta remember the Nets lost to the Kings last night who were without Rudy Gay and Darren Collison, plus they've blown 17 point leads in both games.

GSW played their 3rd game in 4 days, had to travel and were without Thompson. Only a horrific team could manage to lose the way they lost tonight.

It was also pretty close to be an offensive foul for a push-off by Lopez to create space for the entry pass.  Good no-call both ways on nothing egregious.

They look better than Philly.  That's it.  They gave the Lakers their only win, at home no less.  And the Pellies have been injury-ravaged (the NBA even let them sign an extra player because of it).  I'll take the second-best lottery odds.  And they also lost to the only 3-win team out there (Sacramento).  Every other team has at least 4 wins, and many have played fewer games than the Nets.

Philly "Refuse to Win" is locked into dead last (sorry Randy and LarBrd33) perhaps setting the record for futility, for which we will need a new thread.

I'd give the edge to BKN for next worst. They're 3rd worst to NO now based on margin of victory, but NO has been injured. 4th worst would be the Fakers, but they have some young talent whom might get better compared to BKN. Also Lopez will go down for 10 games at least and likely more. That's it for the utter dregs. SAC will probably continue to get better. Rondo's actually giving them some decent play and at least tonight, it looked like the dysfunctional freelancing that I had seen in the last SAC game I saw was gone in favor of him being the primary ball handler. Other teams will tank later, but the bottom 4 are in a class among themselves.
