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

That huge 2nd quarter lead dissipated quickly. I can't believe the Lakers were able to hold on when only up by 6 entering the 4th. That is awesome!

Holy hell the Lakers might actually beat the Spurs! Please, please, please do it. That'd make tonight not so bad knowing that we could lock up the best odds by tomorrow.

Suns are still in the way, but I'm still not worried.

The math is on our side, but I'm still a bit nervous.

Phoenix has three games left after tonight, none of which they will likely win.

Fortunately, Orlando has been showing signs of life, and it's going to be tough for them to beat Chicago twice, given that Chicago is fighting for a playoff spot. And I'd like to assume that we will knock them off in Boston. They have to go 3-1 and hope that Phoenix doesn't win anything. The latter is clearly more likely than the former.

BTW, how's daddyhood?

Now the Suns are a problem lol

TPs for all on this otherwise gloomy night!

more good news is that now the Lakers have a 3-game homestand with some very winnable games:
vs Sacto
Vs Min
vs NO
@Golden State (who might be resting all their good players)

Phoenix is a little tougher, but they have a couple winnable games too
vs OKC
vs Dallas

it's never cut and dry for the C's when it comes to the NBA Lottery....grrrrr.

Over at the Lakers board they're all mad and fighting each other over the win

(Don't worry Tankers, next game is the Spurs in SA. We WILL lose that one. LOLOLOL)

I imagine all those Laker fans are living in perfect harmony right now

Check out the Suns game

What a great way ro start the day!  A surprise win by LAL making the magic # just 1 to secure the 2nd best lottery odds.  My hatred for LAL runs so deep that it's really only them that I care about  surpassing the Cs. If the Suns overtake or tie,  I can live with it.  Also would be great to see Lakers in the #3 position heading into the lottery - even though I am 100% certain they'll be lucky on lottery night.

Saltlover is now a father? Congratulations on entering fatherhood and I wish your family well

The playoff rest variable is making its mark on the lottery odds race.  SAS rested KL, LMA, TP and Mills - none playing more than 18 minutes, mostly in the first half.  Manu didn't play.

Huge meltdown out of nowhere last night.  Lasted about an hour -- I don't think we'd had one last more than ten minutes before since she was about two weeks old.  But it conveniently started at 8, so it prevented me from watching a different meltdown.

Otherwise it's great, thanks!

Congrats on the new family addition.  So, inquiring minds want to know -- do call her "Little Salty" or "Saltine"?

Please, @SaltLover will probably be able to manage all the $$$ aspects just like he manages all the Celtics cap questions around here 

Btw, congrats @saltlover!
