    Just another day at the office this year for Wallace... I think age has caught up.

    Nets are now 6 back of #8 in the east, with only 20 games left. The playoffs thing isn't gonna happen.

    They should just tank right now. Sit Deron and Wallace, and don't force Lopez to come back from injury.

    That's what worries me. I don't want them to lose too much!

    Cavs got 1 and 4 last year. This is what we need to happen this year for us.

    The Thompson that the Cavs drafted?

    He is playing 20 minutes a night behind Jamison and averaging 7/6 I think.

    Actually, if we get a great pick in the lottery, I'd try to convince TOR to trade for it by giving us Jonas. He's a better prospect than anyone in this draft.

    I still don't think the NBA is gonna let Brooklyn lose it's lottery pick this year. I have no doubt Portland will be stupid and make the playoffs, NJ will tank like they should and get Barnes, and Portland will pick 16 or whatever and go nowhere. Next year NJ will make the playoffs and we will get there 18th pick. Mediocrity at it's best

    So roughly 50% shot they are in the top 3

    I have no idea how that shit works. It is so confusing to me about the certain amount of number combos each team gets or whatever! I will take your word for it, but how did you get that %?

    Just figured out where the Nets fall in terms of worst record in the league, then add up the percentages of 1-3 and you get the percentage chance the Nets will get the pick.

    Well for us to lose the pick, we don't just look at the odds for 1st. We combine the odds from 1st-3rd. That's why he said 50/50 to lose the pick. Honestly, the best spot for them to be in is 5th. Odds aren't that great.

    If they are the #4 their odds aren't even 40%. Rounding up 50% does not seem correct.

    I like being 5th for jersey. That's a decent pick

    Yeah, this sucks. No more rooting for NJ to lose. They are going to lose us right out of their lottery pick. I like them at 6th just fine (70% chance we get their pick, iirc).
