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

[Celts Fan 508]

I have read reports that Brooklyn is prepared to offer Otto Porter a max contract after the season.  He will help them but not significantly.

Phoenix pick up another win against old friend Rondo!

This thread is OVER.

Over?, it's not over until I say it's over! 

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I don't have anything substantive to add, I just kind of felt bad for this thread. I didn't want it to feel neglected. It's been like the Giving Tree, and now we're just down to the stump.

The thread may be, but thankfully the Nets giving tree still has much fruit to bear.  Green apples for sure. 

Giving Tree always made me sad as a kid btw

Brooklyn has lost 12 straight, 23 out of 24, and 40 out of 45. We are far removed from their magical 4-5 start. ANd it' snot looking like it'll get much better anytime soon.

After tonight's game against Memphis they host the Bucks.

Then they go on the road for 8 straight games.
@Denver
@Golden State
@Sacto
@Portland
@Utah
@Memphis
@Atlanta
@Dallas

Should be brutal.

You know you're bad when 4-5 can accurately be described as "magical."

The Suns host New Orleans tonight and the Lakers on Wednesday.  Brooklyn could conceivably be 10 games behind the Suns with 26 to go at the break.

Is that an in-joke I don't get, or just more evidence that we are truly in the Trump era.

Game over in Brooklyn, Celtics win.

[mahcus smaht]

13 consecutive losses.

The gift that keeps on giving.

THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 1!

Sorry for the shouting, I'm just excited. BKN is exactly 27 games behind us, with 27 left to go. One Brooklyn loss or Celtics win between now and the end of the season means that they are switching picks with us.*

I don't like to get ahead of myself on these things, but I'm feeling pretty good about this one.

Mike

*Technically, even if we finish ahead of BKN, we could still be in a situation where we wouldn't switch picks. Without involving trades or other teams, a TP to the first person who can tell me how such a situation could occur.

If both the Cs and Brooklyn were in the lottery and the Celtics pick won it/was higher than the Brooklyn pick even if Brooklyn was worse during the regular season.
