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

[Atzar]

Many thanks to Atlanta! 

Officially at the halfway mark at 11-30. What an entertaining team to watch! Such a scintillating season thus far, A+++! This is how basketball should be played!

For the next three years, please!

Phoenix and Minnesota play each other 3 more times this season.  Once tomorrow and then twice after that.  Some good news there.

Yessir, another annihilation embarassment.

114-86.

If they hold steady, they'll end with 22 wins. That was good for the fifth worst record last year, though there aren't as many blatantly tanking teams this year. If they end with 22 wins, I say that's probably the third or fourth worst record in the league.

I'm really starting to worry about Minnesota, though. I thought having the vets coupled with great young talent would at least keep them at arm's length from Brooklyn, but they've been bad lately. Phoenix worries me, too, but not as much a Minnesota. I honestly think those are the only two we really have to worry about passing Brooklyn in the standings.

Really no reason to be worried about Minnesota. Pek is healthy, and Martin just started playing again because they can't trade him. Not to mention Rubio, Wiggins and Towns. No way they finish with a worse record than Brooklyn.

who said NETS would go on a run after the firing of their only reason to win games.

I got a feeling things are just going to get worse for the Nets.

[SHAQATTACK]

That's like four losses in a row .    Nets are no,better without Hollins .....maybe worse.   I saw the temporary coach makes few huge blunders in the Blazers game.

So as long as this temp coach is calling the game......I think we have extra help working for us.

How did they beat New York? I bet those two Lakers that control NY (Jackson and Fisher) have something to do with it. They should be 10-31 but 11-30 is not bad.

ref took melo out during our game, DNP against Nets.

At the time of the trade I'm sure we would have all flipped out to learn that one of the picks would be top 5. It's a great result no matter where in that range it ends up.

I just hope the two Celtics no-shows don't end up the difference between 2 and 3, which seems to be where the drop to the second (or third) tier is.

We absolutely need to worry about Minnesota.  They are currently only one game better than the Nets right now, and are 4-20 since Dec. 1 with all the players you just mentioned (except for Pek, their 3rd string center). They are a young team with a bad coach and they still have no idea how to win games. Nor do they have incentive to get good at it yet. I'd say it is more of a 50/50 chance the Nets finish worse than Minnesota as presently constituted.

We need them to beat either PHX or NO in their next 2 because then it appears they have 5 straight losses in the schedule.

LOL ...I remember that comment ....hA hA ......nets lucked into the Knicks win........

Yes, Phoenix and Minnesota are the two we definitely have to worry about. On the flip side, Phili and the Lakers are playing better, and I can honestly see both of them passing Brooklyn by the end of the season. Its going to be tight at the bottom, I can see the Nets land anywhere from 1-6.
