The Official 2016-2017 Brooklyn Nets Season Watch Thread (20-62, #1)

Looks like we're entering a choppy stretch before the All-Star break. This week is soft: At Miami, home against the Nets and then home against Indy. Miami favored by nine tonight, but that may be the toughest of the three games.

Versus the Knicks on Wednesday, who will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Let's hope that they don't decide to rest Melo against the Nets. That game makes me nervous.

Home against Indy on Friday. Indy is on the first night of a b-t-b, so we again run into potential rest issues.

I don't expect BKN to come out of this three game stretch with more than one win, and I'd almost be ready to call it game over if they don't win any.

Five games after that in nine days. @CLT, then four at home vs. Washington, Miami, Memphis and Milwaukee. They may go winless in that run.

After the break, we've got a seven game road trip. Hee hee.

Mike

I don't know -- I think the Nets can figure out how to lose to themselves.

Oops, TP.

But if they lose to themselves, isn't that also a win?

If i'm Ainge this is when i act like i'm contemplating shipping out the nets pick.....knowing I would never

[aingeforthree]

At least Josh Jackson and Jonathan Isaac are balling...so the Celtics could pick one of them after Fultz and Ball are off the board...either one of those guys could be the best player in this draft.

It's straight stacked. IMO, Fultz or Jackson will be a Celtic if no trade is made.

[trickybilly]

The Bedford-Stuyvesant Celtics doing their thing again.

Seems like the Heat can't lose lately..

Is it possible they are a buyer at the deadline??

Miami's 8 game winning streak has Pat Riley attempting to tear out his hair.

That's the beauty to tanking. A GM can try and tank all they want, but the players and coach refuse to buy in.

That's why the Nets went full Billy King. You never go full Billy King. Never.

I've never met Billy King. I've never spoken to Billy King. I wouldn't know who he was if I saw him walking down the street.

But I'm pretty sure that I love Billy King.

I'd buy him a Sam Adams and invite him over to see the masterpiece he created on CSNNE.

If everything keeps falling into place, I say we retire a jersey with his name on it.

They did it! Nobody believed in them, but the Lakers pulled a win!

I'm picturing that scene from Rocky IV, when Rocky cut Ivan Drago, and Duke grabbed him in the corner, screaming, "You see Rocky, he's not a machine!! He's a man! You want it more than he does! No pain!"

You see Phoenix, you can do it!

This game against the Knicks tonight does worry me, though. 2nd half of a BtB, Porzingis possibly out.

Melo gets benched in the 3rd..

Knicks take a 6 point lead on BKN. 2 minutes left in the 4th.
