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

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?

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.

I betcha though when they play the Cs he goes off...that has been our season so far...other teams role players get career highs over us.

Greivis Vasquez out, Yogi Ferrell in. That's surely a 'net loss'

Looks like the Pelicans get Holiday back next game which is what our Nets pick desperately needs.

Right now the only single team that is certainly worse than the Nets is the 76ers again.
Other than that, I am almost 100% certain they'll be bottom five.
The Wizards, Kings, Suns all have more talent and are trying to win games this year. The Heat are close to the Nets, but with Dragic, Johnson and Whiteside  and Winslow I think they'll get a few more wins than the Nets.

Jrue Holiday averaged 17 points 7 assists and 5 rebounds last year for the Pelicans and he'll probably help an extra 8-12 wins for them on their current status. Losing Lance hurts them but Holiday coming back is a far greater gain. Getting Tyreke Evans back will be icing on the top.

The Mavs and Magic will also be competing for bottom 5.  The TWolves will too if they don't start playing better defense.

Suns outsucking the Nets so far in their game.

Brandon knight is soooooo garbage. Holy Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. I usually don't get this p---ed after a Nets win, but every time knight touched the ball he either bricked it or turned it over. Not to mention his defense was terrible. He single handedly lost the game for his team!!! SMFH

Wow the lakers won again. I really thought AD would pulverize them (which he did), but i guess he's not enough.

[PhoSita]

We're really counting on a Brook Lopez injury or trade, aren't we?

Sean Mays / Kenny Atkinson doing good work so far, all things considered.

We are.

This is all Obama's fault.

This lakers roster is actually winning games and looking decent.  I didn't think that would happen this year.  Maybe just a small sample size, but still.

Not gonna lie, I find myself rooting for them this year. They look competitive. Walton has done a great job there. I dont think a single player on that team is even playing 30 minutes a game, and yet they get lots of scoring from everyone and have a very potent offense. I love their young core. They're gonna be good for a long time.

I also just noticed i posted all this in the Nets thread...dont know why lol

Still early. I expect the league the normalize once we get into the middle of the season and both Brooklyn and the Lakers will be as bad as predicted.

Theyll still be bottom 5 with Lopez healthy. If he goes down they'll challenge Philly fornworst record.

Maybe not.  They were only bottom 5 last year, because half their roster got ravaged by injuries.  Starting to see the impact of having healthy RHJ and a mediocre supporting cast around Lopez.
