Nets at #6 seed beating Orlando in round 1. Mavs to just make the playoffs at #8 (we get pick) and bounced in round 1 by the Lakers (now that would be poetic justice). I want all the new players to taste playoff intensity and realize they are on a franchise with a tradition of winning.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetIncome @ Feb 25 2008, 12:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Right now, you would have to say that Sean Williams, taken at #17, was worthy of a lottery pick. Those who cover the 2007 Draft Class for ESPN, SI and NBA.com put him in top 5 every week. He has had some problems the last week. No big deal. He would not escape the top 5. You would also have to say that Josh Boone and probably Marcus Williams, taken at #23 and #22, were worthy of lottery picks...and if you don't think so, take a look at the middle of the first round in the 2006 draft...Bust-o-rama. Boone has 9 double doubles this season, second only to LaMarcus Aldridge and is improving his shot-blocking and free throw shooting. He would probably go top 5 to 10 right now, Williams probably 10 to 15. (Maurice Ager, are you the next Net redemption from that draft??) Being in the lottery doesn't guarantee lottery-level talent and vice versa. As for Dallas, if you're a Net fan, you should root for or against based on whether you think the 2008 or 2009 draft class will be stronger. If you think the 2008 class is stronger, root for them to make the playoffs. If you think the 2009 class is going to be stronger (and it may be), then root for the Mavs to miss the playoffs. I don't think Mark Cuban will let the Mavs fall so far that they will be in the lottery in 2010. The guy is worth $8 billion. So don't get your hopes up.</div> Sean and Boone will be good players, but there's just a better chance of getting a stud--a true game-changing franchise player--in the top-ten. Thankfully, though, there are a few teams that do a poor job at evaluating talent, such as the Clippers and Charlotte, so some good players have fallen to the Nets in recent years. The Nets haven't had a lottery pick in what, seven years? that has gradually taken its toll, especially since Rod Thorn hasn't taken any chances on unheralded young players. Hopefully Ager will end that trend.

The Giants won the Super Bowl, and I have no doubt they will draft a Hall-of-Famer with the 31st pick because karma deems that they deserve it. Face it, history will remember the Giants as great, great champions because of the way they conducted themselves for the last two seasons. That's the kind of organization that treats its fans like gold! They bought commercials JUST TO THANK THE FANS!! I realize some of you are not Giants fans. That must eat away at your soul every day. You must be asking God "Why? Why didn't you make me a Giants fan? Why must I suffer rooting for this inferior franchise?" Well, here's a chance for the Nets to provide you with a little of the feeling we have. Get on board. Root for them to make the playoffs. Root for RJ to play hard again. Root for VC to slay the critics and do what everyone said was impossible. Root for the role players to make superhuman contributions. And if they lose valiantly in the first round, I'm sure there's a Hall-of-Famer to be found with the 16th pick. I just know it.</div> That sounds great and all, but I'd rather be the Packers, loaded with young talent and good contracts, and set up for a decade of dominance, where we win a few titles, instead of getting lucky with one. </div> Even if they win the next five titles, it would be hard to top the one the Giants just won. That's why next year's repeat might feel a little anticlimactic. I'm preparing myself for that now. </div> Congrats on the win but it's made you irrational. Unless I'm not getting the joke. </div> Are you saying some of these posts might not be entirely serious? </div> I was looking for sarcasm, but it didn't make sense </div> That's because there is no sarcasm.
