    For real. Im not sure, we not win a big game so far. We beat suns, Pelicans and pacers. Lost to 2 playoff teams in crunch time. Are we good enough to make the playoffs? It's on CJ ? What a terrible loss yesterday. Makes me sad for real.


    Next Games: Suns, Raptors, @jazz and lakers. What you guys expected ? I think we can go 4-0

    Calm down, sip some tea, smoke a blunt and continue to watch this team gel. They haven't really gelled with Nurk yet IMO.

    You can't judge them yet. Wait till about 25 games in.

    Think about it:

    It took miraculous plays to beat us. Blake doesn't hit that shot if he gets it another 9x. I truly believe he'd be 1/10 in that situation.

    We will learn. We will be better.

    positive side is that were not playing as expected, so it can only get better (at least in theory), those two losses hurt, not cause we lost, but the way we lost those games, so when you look at the bigger picture, were not playing good, but still won 3 games and lost 2 close games

    We lost to two decent teams in crunch time on plays that don't happen a high % of time. We are fine and better then last year, it'll show itself over the long run.

    We are about the same as the last 2 years

    Nothing special. Solid low 40s win team

    It’ll continue to be like that until we have 1 more special player

    We have the same record as Crabbe's new team.

    OH NO!

    Cleveland lost to them. Do you think Cleveland fans are really concerned about that?

    Wins against the Cavs count.

    Maybe the Nets have actually improved this season.

    4-0 would have people back to singing the praises of the team.

    We're on pace to win 49 games (yeah, it's small sample size). 49 seems about right to me.

    Totally agree. I just started a Stotts thread that would probably not be there either.
