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

The most important thing is the lotto luck at this point.

Noone run over any black cats.

[Ogaju]

What a glorious day!

Celtics win
Raptors lose
Nets win lose
Hawks lose
Heat win

Corrected.

sorry lol was too pumped up to notice. a Nets loss is always a win though

This.

Don't think it matters if the Nets trade Lopez or not. With him on the team they are on a pace to win 16 games which means the Suns would have to lose every single game the rest of the year in order to overtake the Nets as worst team. With or without Lopez, the Nets are the worst team in the league and it really isn't close..

My only worry is ping pong balls. Has been all year. Has been ever since the Duncan draft lottery.

This. Great post. I won't be surprised if the nba screws us again and gives us the 4th pick

But they were a playoff team 5 years ago?
And they've been ravaged by injuries...

I will say, not having Jeremy Lin does hurt them but, even with him, they're still scraping along the bottom. I've gotta think that, if they look like this, Lopez and Lin get the month of April off. Well, at least Lopez.

33 games to go, six games back, and they just finished a streak of "easy" games, with losses to Minnesota and Miami. Including tonight, six of their next seven are at home, but they've got Indy (who looks good all of a sudden), Toronto (feels weird to be rooting for them; maybe I won't), @CLT (who knows), Washington (who looks like they may never lose again) and Milwaukee (back to "who knows"). March starts off with a six game road trip out west. Start rooting for ping pong balls. And don't forget, it actually worked in our favor last year: Our most likely draft spot was fifth.

My only advice is to stay away from the simulators. They hate us and you don't want to get too depressed.

I got the nº 1 pick for us every time I've used a simulator. I promise I won't do it again until the lottery to keep the good flavour

Your math is off. The Nets only have 33 games left

TP Dario. I did the same thing. 3x in a row about a week and a half ago. I shut down my computer, and have pledged not to go on a simulator until the lotto. Gotta keep this luck up.

TP. Combined it with the 49 that they've already played.

Nets came back from 12 points down vs the Pacers....

But thankfully, the Pacers still won

Orlando wins too.

BOOM.
