Nets draft pick watch

[JohnnySic]

Nets presently 0-3. One hell of a start! :cheers: :banana: :applause: :bowdown: :rockon: :djparty :dancin :hammertime: :party: :yaohappy:

[Shade8780]

jarrett jack is the worst fvcking player in the league :oldlol:

[Hittin_Shots]

So we looking for

Nets: pick 1
Dallas: pick 8
Minny: pick 13

And I guess an early second from Philly

[Shade8780]

lost to the bucks by 7 points :yaohappy:

this some great losing right here.

[JohnnySic]

0-5 now.

[Shade8780]

according to my maths, if the nets continue playing at this rate, their record will be 0-82 by the end of the season.

nice.

[Shade8780]

Holy shit it's happening.

Nets had a good night play-wise, in their easiest game of the month vs. a very tank-strong team, and they still lost. They lost to the fvcking Lakers.

Ben Simmons, welcome to Boston.

[JohnnySic]

I'd like to think they'd get Simmons but they never have any luck in the lottery. Still, a high pick is great.

[JohnnySic]

1-7 now.

[Shade8780]

one - eight

Warriors on a back-to-back next. This will be fun :lol

[Lebowski]

Really Atlanta.. really? Nice block by Lopez in the end but why was it even close?

[Shade8780]

God fvcking dammit.

Meanwhile, Philly are sitting at 0-11 and Pelicans are at 1-10.

[JohnnySic]

Oh well. 2-10, they're hanging in there.

[Shade8780]

That was beautiful. 25 point win over the Nets, that's a dagger in the heart.

We're playing them again on Sunday. These are mandatory wins, can't let them gain any advantage. We need to fvcking smother them like we did last night.

They're on a 12.6 win pace, which means the plan is working so far :banana:

[Shade8780]

can't believe we gave them a ****ing win. ffs, we're the last team who should be losing to them. just disgraceful.

[Rondooooooooooo]

Yea that was pretty bad. its ok tho, we got this.

Ben Simmons will be wearing a celtics jersey soon

[JohnnySic]

The Sixers, Lakers, and Pelicans are competing hard for this. :oldlol:

[Hittin_Shots]

Should of tanked to Sixers, they need to catch the nets

[Shade8780]

they nearly beat the cavs last night :oldlol:

it seems like they're getting better with each game. we'll see how tonight's game goes with the pistons.

[JohnnySic]

The Nets are not going along with the program. :mad:

[Shade8780]

DAMN IT :mad:

Ben Simmons is drifting fast out of our grasp :(

[JohnnySic]

DAMN IT :mad:

Its doesn't really make much difference:

worst record = 25% chance of winning draft lottery
2nd worst = 19.9%
3rd worst = 15.6%
4th worst 11.9%

None are great odds. You just need to be lucky.

[JohnnySic]

It would appear that the Nets have found their sea legs. :mad:

Their schedule is fairly stiff in the coming week though...

this is them at their very best. when the bound to come lopez injury strikes, they're fvcked.

[JohnnySic]

Nets are back to 3rd worst record but its gonna take some work to catch the Lakers. Philly is probably out of reach. :oldlol:

[Shade8780]

best case scenario

nets win #1 pick in lottery
new orleans rises in lottery to #2 pick
philly drops to #3
lakers get knocked out of top 3
lakers lose their pick to philly

[Hittin_Shots]

Pelicans looking much better, hopefully keep in front of nets and no one else falls behind, 15.6% chance at Simmons and pretty much definite top 5 pick

[Thorpesaurous]

I have a weirdly optimistic feeling about this pick. I just feel like the Lakers and Sixers will get better based on their young guys going up the learning curve. While the Nets I feel like are going to crash because they'll probably try to move any assets they have, and the age could lead to injuries. I could see apathy setting in too among the vets who won't have much to play for.


I also have a weird sense that if any sort of conspiracy could be considered, the league screwing the Sixers out of the top pick doesn't seem crazy. The league has already come down on them with oversight.

[JohnnySic]

Finally scored a win over the Nets.

[gigantes]

it's a shame all you vultures have to wait so long for your special dessert. :P

[JohnnySic]

Nets need to trade Brook Lopez already and start losing more. :oldlol: After the Sixers, its becoming a logjam with the Nets, Lakers, Pelicans, and 'Wolves...

[Shade8780]

nets fans getting salty

kek

[JohnnySic]

Bump!

The Nets presently are tied with the Suns for the 3rd worst record, but for some reason the Nets appear to have the tiebreaker (not sure how that's determined).

No one's catching the Sixers or Lakers at this point.

[gigantes]

most nets fans seem to be worried about giving you guys too good of a pick, but i don't see why.

the way the playoff seedings work, it's going to make very little difference IMO. divisions just don't mean that much in the NBA.

[That_Admiral]

Almost lost to the Suns :facepalm

Nets keep winning... :(

[Hittin_Shots]

Looks like they'll end up with the 4th worst record. In other news mavs have free fell down to 12th worst record.

I'm hoping they have a chance at Sabonis with that Mavs pick but it seems highly unlikely that he falls out of the top 10.

[gigantes]

we're doing everything we can to get you guys a better pick. a few days ago we shut down our two best players (lopez and young) for the rest of the season, and the coach has orders to play the bench as much as possible.

:cheers:

[JohnnySic]

^Good to hear! :cheers:

[JohnnySic]

Hoping that the Nets can hold on on to that 3rd spot...

[JohnnySic]

31 days until the lottery. :dancin

[JohnnySic]

24 days to go. :dancin :dancin

[CelticBaller]

God when did they change the lottery

[JohnnySic]

17 days to go. :dancin :dancin :dancin

[JohnnySic]

10 days to go. :dancin :dancin :dancin :dancin

[JohnnySic]

Got my math wrong. :oldlol: 2 days to go.

[JohnnySic]

Well, here we are.

[Hittin_Shots]

big money, big money, no whammy, no whammy

[CelticBaller]

3rd pick, better than nothing

[JohnnySic]

It was disappointing to not get into the top 2 after being in the final 3, but #3 isn't bad, especially since I was expecting 4 or 5 if not 6. At least they didn't slip this time. I think there's a good chance the pick gets traded. Okafor!

[Hittin_Shots]

Any chance philly or lakers fk around and font take one of simmons/ingram?

[Bernie Nips]

If we keep it, I know we have a logjam of guards - but I'm high on Jamal Murray. The scorer/shooter we need with upside.

[insidehoops]

Amazing move by Boston to land what turned out to be this pick at all
