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

[SHAQATTACK]

Thank lord for Al .....

[Ogaju]

JJ Barrea is a Celtic today. Nine straight dagger points for Dallas to get some daylight between Dallas and a surging Nets team.

Surging Nets team?

Anyway,  down 6, 0:26 to go.

Yep, surging, cut a 17 point lead down to 2. That is surging.

Game over in Brooklyn, Celtics win !!!

Magic number is now 7.

That doesn't mean too much, I just needed a happy thread after that 76ers game.

At least we won the critical game of those two.  Magic number is 5 over Phoenix, 2 over Orlando and 1 for Philly.  Everyone else is eliminated from contention.

The magic numbers are 7, 5, and 2 for BKN to be eliminated from catching LAL, PHX, and ORL, respectively. Any combination of wins by those teams or losses by BKN reduces the magic number. If LAL with 20 wins were to lose all of its remaining games, BKN with 13 wins would not be able to catch them if they lost 7 games by going 6-7 over their last 13 games. The formula is:

Games in (NBA) season +1 - Wins from leading team (LAL, PHX, or ORL) - losses from trailing team (BKN).

Isn't that what I just said?

Yes it is. I misunderstood what you were doing by excluding the magic number for the LAL.

Lin is out for a while for the Nets. Always hate to see people injured – he makes a big difference for them.

[mef730]

Not that it matters for the draft pick but, for the first time in about a zillion weeks, the Nets are out of the cellar in the ESPN power rankings:

The new winner? Our favorite team in purple and yellow.
