It is so early...but if you extrapolate 9-7 out over 82 games it comes to 46 wins. As for upcoming games, Minnesota presents problems. Al Jefferson is not only a beast. He OWNS the Nets. He was twice established personal highs against the Nets. And Jason Collins has a lot of reasons to do well against Lopez.
the nets are probably a 9th or 10 seed. They'll be in it but at the end they lack that push and experience it will take to make a run
the nets are on a hot streak right now, but they have too many rookies and soph's to expect this to carry thru till the end of the season just 16 games in. Also, the nets record is 0-3 when Harris is injured. And they are 0-3 by large losing margins as well. You want the rookies to improve and hope they don't hit the rookie wall as mentioned before. You also want Yi to realize he's not really the invisible man and show some kind of dominance because he was "given" the starting job. Coach Frank is doing a great job, but his real test will be when the rookies start hitting some sort of wall and how Frank responds to it. If the nets are lucky this year the following will happen. One, very few injuries to VC and Harris of course, and two, the rookies hit some sort of wall at different times. If that happens the nets have some sort of chance of maintaining this pace their on..., oh yeah, go nets!!!
