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

[bopna]

Lakers beat Knicks
Suns lose to NO but that's kinda win win.


The ball keeps rolling.

Due to these events...the Nets' odds of having the worst record have INCREASED from 99.3% to 99.5%.

We are REALLY close to putting this puppy to bed (worst record, that is)...

If the Nets doubled their existing winning percentage for the remainder of the season (i.e., a .352 win percentage), they'd end the season with 20 wins. There is only one other team in the entire NBA that is not within two games of 20 wins: Phoenix at 16.

I'm feeling pretty good.

Are people even following their games anymore?

I peek at the score so as to not get complacent, but I wouldn't mind if they beat Washington tomorrow, for example.

Nah...that'll be wishful thinking.
They can't even beat their shadow at this point..but who knows, maybe Beal goes down or what.

whew that was close.

Game over in Charlotte, Celtics win.

[Dannys Chipotle Guy]

are 1-21 in their last 22 games.

That is truly remarkable.

yep they locked up the #1 seed before the All-Star break.

I am not quite sure if remarkable is the right word here.

Thanks Charlotte.

If Chicago can pull off a miracle tomorrow, The Cnetstics and the Warriors will have perfectly opposite records, which appeals to me.

[Emmette Bryant]

That is truly remarkable.

I never thought that the Nets would be this bad

[trickybilly]

There's still a chance that team might play itself out of the bottom 5.

I presume this chance has vanished?

Yes, they are "ravaged" by a Jeremy Lin injury.

J. Lin's new mantra when he returns: "28-3.... Anything's possible."

Netsanity.

30 games left, seven behind.

For the first time all season, I'll be rooting for the Nets tonight. I don't think they have a chance, but I can root for them all the same.

I'm not going to lie - I'm secretly hoping for the Nets to win this and put a bit more separation between Boston and Washington. They've built a big enough lead for themselves that they should be safe to win a game like this.

this is the first for me as well, feels weird

[jpotter33]

That's a ballsy move by Levert to try and take a charge on that play at the end of the game lol

[Phantom255x]

Wizards up 111-107. 1:00 to go.
