I know it's still early in the season, but I'm already gearing up for the playoffs. If the season were to end today, the Nets would face Cleveland in the first round. Personally, I could see NJ having a better record than Miami come playoff time, which would mean they would face Orlando. Now, who would you rather see come first round, Lebron or Dwight?
Boston. Vince and Harris vs the big three. Upset of the year! Nets almost beat Cleveland last season when Carter played like shit. But they are much better now. For Orlando, who is gonna stop Dwight?
Lol, Boston? You want us to drop to the 8th seed? Shame on you. You mean two seasons ago. But have you seen their record now? They're a MUCH better team.
You guys are writing off Detroit too early. I think they'll fight to get at least 3rd or 4th seed. Our most favorable matchup would be vs Cavs because they're weak at 3pt shooting against the zone. Plus they dont have PFs that can burn Yi like Orlando with Lewis, Celtics with KG, and Detroit with Sheed.
Not only will Toronto make the playoffs, they will beat the Nets next time they play each other and in the playoffs.
I can't see the Nets beating any of the top seeds in the playoffs. But watching Lopez try to defend and play against DHo might be fun... or not. -Petey
if its between the Magic or Cavs... i rather we go against the Magic... At least we think Lopez can play against Howard for now, til we actually see them play against each other. No guard on the Magic's squad can keep up with harris nor keep Carter in Check... we just need to watch out for their 3pt shooters... we have no one to stop LBJ...yet... so let someone else beat them lol
I would love to face Detroit or Atlanta, but we aren't getting that 5th seed and none of those teams are cracking the top 3. I don't want Boston. We will lose and I hate them. I will be angry all summer. I would take Orlando because I feel we have the best chance of beating them as compared to anybody else in the top 3. But I would also take the Cavs. I know we'll lose to them, but I'm a LeBron fan so it'd be cool to see him at the Izod Center a few more times. And also, if they clinch in Jersey, we can start a "Beat the Celtics" chant.
Orlando will still destroy us. Howard > Lopez Lewis > Yi Turkoglu > Simmons Carter > Bogans Harris =/> Nelson We'd get dominated in the post and forward positions.
