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

Nets lose.
Raptors lose.
Celtics pass the Lakers for all time wins total.
Stevens will coach the All-Star Game.

Today is a good day.

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 

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.

**** mysticism.

Its superstition. Logically I know it doesnt matter what so ever, statistics are statistics. But, its a fun way for myself to feel involved, even though I know im not. Kind of like an extreme form of this board or sports in general. Fandom.

That is a trifecta plus 1.

Yogi Ferrell, who the Nets waived after he played 10 games this season, had a 22 point first half for Dallas against Portland. Has 29 points in the 4th.

Nets now a full seven ahead of Phoenix at 16 wins.  With 32 games to go, it's really difficult to see Brooklyn even get 16 wins by the end of the season.

As A Future of Stevens said, it is a mix of superstition and entertainment (TP, buddy). With the Suns win, the moment when we only have to worry about the ping pong balls is more obvious than ever.

It's hard to think the Nets will reach the 16 wins mark, even more if they try to unload some talent at the deadline or rest them to prevent injuries in April.

Edit: I would appreciate some Tommy Points. Currently, I am Tyler Zeller

Being Tyler Zeller isn't dependant on how many TP's you have but how many posts you've made, so essentially the more you post the better ranked you become including eventually getting stars.

Oh, I thought it was the other way, dependant on TP. Thanks for the explanation, I'm still getting used to the forums working way. One for you...and I'll write some more posts today

Since this year's worst record is pretty much in the bag...do you think they could save some of these losses for next season?

[Neurotic Guy]

Unfortunately, the advantage of most pong-pong balls is hasn't been the most secure advantage in the world.

 The other pessimistic view is that one (or both) of our historically biggest rivals will do very well on lottery night. Philly is back to looking like they have a legit shot at two top 5 picks, or, the Lakers pull out another top 3.  The way I look at things, the surest bet on this earth is that LAL will come away with one of the top 2 picks.  I don't believe in conspiracies or fixes, I do believe in Laker luck.  Sadly, on the miniscule chance that Laker Luck doesn't hold, Philly gets yet another great pick.

Don't worry. With that roster there will be plenty of those.

True...I just fear Lin and Lopez catching fire...wait, what??

I share your point of view.
I see this Nets pick as a sure thing that we'll get one of Fultz, Ball and Jackson. Any of this 3 players will get me excited. I won't be disappointed if we end up #3. I'll be upset only if we end up #4.
