Wolves having a rough start.  Brooklyn is Trumping expectations so far.

haha...hah.....ha.........

The Nets are sneaky good (to not be in bottom three)

Russians have their hands in both situations. Coincidence? I think not.

I hate how Nets are just winning games
They were projected as a bottom 5 team
Hopefully by the end of season, it all evens out and they return to the bottom

We're a half game away from using our own pick instead.

Isn't there some kind of unwritten rule that you wait 20 games before judging a team's performance? I feel like that should go for this pick too. here are wild overreactions going on here about the chances of this pick. Chill out, enjoy the basketball and revisit this in a month

[tankcity!]

Celtics really need this pick haha. I don't see any other way unless we wait two years or 3 years for AD. Who knows what our team will be like then. And we might not have the assets.

Trading for Cousins soon is our only hope I imagine.

I think so. But the Nets are about to go on the road for a 5-game series. I'm considering this an early "where the rubber meets the road." If they do any better than 1-4 (playing against NYK, PHX, LAL, LAC, OKC), I will be disappointed.

Hard not to pay attention. This could be devastating for the Celtics

I'm firmly in the "trade the pick" camp right now. Most of the prospects either have injury concerns already, are guards, or can't really shoot that well (at least from the basic things i've heard thus far). i'm very scared of Giles too, his knee could be a serious issue. If we can get a Boogie or someone like that for a package of the two picks and maybe Smart or Rozier or someone, i'm doing it. the nets are gonna surprise everyone, and they'll make it a much worse pick. heck, if they win tonight, they'll be at .500, like us!

Never thought I would say this but I love the knicks. Up 98-72 with 6ish minutes left.

Whoa. Weren't the Nets up by double digits in the first half?

Yea I believe so. I think they cut it to a few points going into the 4th, then buried the Nets to start the 4th. Doing us a solid NY.

I believe the Nets were shooting 50% from three at that point; it was an illusion. That's going to happen a lot this year with the volume they shoot.

By the way. Randy Foye is awful and should not be in the NBA at this point. He just comes in and shoots ill advised 3 pointers that miss.
