After watching the Giants, I want the Nets to make the playoffs. The East is a lot like the NFC. You never know.
Honestly if we add Mike Miller to this roster I think we may shock some people. PG: Devin Harris, Marcus Williams SG: Vince Carter, Mike Miller SF: Richard Jefferson, Maurice Ager PF: Nenad Krstic, Sean Williams, Stromile Swift C: Josh Boone, Desanga Diop Depth and Talent = surpirse.
It all comes down to how quickly (and well) Devin Harris meshes with the team. Normally, I'd say it would depend on how well he masters the offense, but with Frank's kindergarten scheme, that won't be the biggest obstacle. I do think that they'll make it though.

With that said, I'm really excited to see the new guys in action.
it'll be a rough few first games with the new guys, but I think it will honestly work out and we can get a 2nd round exit, to which Rod Thorn says: "damn"

I think I'd prefer to see Carter get surgery or just tank and Dallas miss the playoffs, so the Nets end up with the #7-9 and the #14 picks.
With how awful the Eastern Conference is, I wouldn't doubt it. At this point, 3 teams beneath .500 will make the playoffs. With the decent talent on the roster, I don't see why you can't. Though, is there really a point? If you go in as the 7th or 8th seed, you get swept by the Celts or Pistons more than likely. If that happens, then you might as well miss the playoffs and get a shot at the top pick in what looks to be a loaded draft.
I expect teams in the east to make some moves to get better, like the Hawks. I wouldn't be suprise if Philly make a good trade.
I don't see them making the playoffs, however, I am looking forward to the Boone vs Williams vs Diop vs Krstic vs the other scrub Nets bigs threads
