    I still disgree, the Nets either had a chance to perhaps become a top team, or continue to be mediocre. The moves they made were well worth it because its not like they were going to win the title with the old roster. I liked that they tried something different.

    So Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, and Brook Lopez weren't enough to win a title. I agree. They had to try to improve the team.

    Trading away a ton for two washed up Celtics isn't winning you the title either. Not only that, but it means you're giving away what could be some high picks. The Nets are going to stink in a few years and they are sending a first rounder in 2016, one in 2018

    They gave up a lot for not much.

    Alright, we will see. Nets are 30-12 since the new year. They have about a 15% chance to win east imo.

    Yeah down 25 to the Knicks. The same Knicks that I said can beat the Pacers in a playoff series.

    Bad loss for BK as TOR, CHI gain a game on them and WAS erases a game from the BK lead on them.

    Over in the West, Dallas is the odd man out of the playoffs right now BUT Memphis is currently losing in the 4th and PHX has a tough game against LAC tonight

    Well, we all know the Knicks aren't a good team.

    Losing by 29 to the Knicks means you're not a good team either.


    Pretty sure neither of these teams would beat Indiana in a series.

    I wouldn't count the Cavs out yet either.

    Good eyes. They play ATL Friday also so a win there and they are right in the mix. I believe I read NYK has the tiebreaker over CLE, but I'm not certain.

    And yes, getting blown out by the Knicks is a bad look for your team. The Knicks defense is not good and easy to break down.

    Atlanta is really shitting the bed, the NYK have a tough last 6 games though including games against the Heat, Bulls, and rematch with the Nets.

    Just realized that Popovich threw us a curveball.

    Road back to back and all the regulars are playing, except for Ginobili.

    So much for all the starters sitting. Every starter is in there, including Green.

    Big deal or not a big deal? this game was off a back to back but now OKC is 4-0 against San Antonio. I really believe OKC is the only team that can derail San Antonio.

    OKC blows out San Antonio, and that was with all the starters going.

    I favor OKC in a series if they play the Spurs.

    It's nice to see starters vs starters since this will probably be the series for who goes to finals.

    Its the same movie everytime. San Antonio cannot keep up in the second half.

    I'm still not worried, if the time comes that we would have to play OKC, then so be it.
