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

Ugh, Nets sticking around...

For a guy that is supposed to be injury nightmare, Lopez just keeps on trucking. He hit the deck hard and I thought that he was dead. NOPE, ran the length of the floor and nearly got a steal on the way back. And he's hitting threes like noones business

seriously trade him already

TREVOR ARIZA WITH THE BLOCK!

Thankyou Bball gods!

Two missed free throws down the stretch lol

This is a perfect example of "playing down to the competition" lol

[trickybilly]

Refs killing the Nets... 

[SCeltic34]

Rockets have missed 13 free throws total.  Game shouldn't be this close.  But the Nets deserve credit, scoring 75 points in the 2nd half so far.

Well, if Houston can hold on this could be a really good night for the Brooklyn pick.

A Brooklyn loss is always good obviously.

Miami won, which pushes them a couple of wins above Brooklyn.

And Dallas is going to win their game against the Nuggets, which means that Brooklyn will be tied with three other teams for the least amount of wins in the NBA. And with two of those teams trending up right now (Dallas and Philly) and the other with significant young talent that should be winning more than they are (Minny), things are looking great for the pick!

EDIT: Sacramento also plays LAL tonight, so that's another automatic win for us. If Sacramento wins, that's another game they're up on the Nets. If Sacramento loses, it helps the "Boogie Watch" and also gives another win to LAL.

I don't know what's worse -watching Houston slowly blow a 12 point lead to a garbage Nets team or listening to the Rockets announcers.  I'd probably go with the latter since Houston still ended up winning the game.

Brooklyn loses, Dallas wins, and Brooklyn is a half game out of the worst record in the NBA

I was watching the Pats game on TV, the BKN game on my iPhone and my wife was carrying on a running conversation about, well, something. Not quite sure what. But there was potential for cardiac arrest.

Miami wins too.  Good night for the pick.

It was a good night for everyone except Cyrus Jones. TPs across the board (except to CJ).

Anyone else worried the Nets won't be too bad with Lin back? ....

No.

Somewhat. Say what you will about JL, but he's a big step up from Whitehead.
