I had us winning 32 games...we're at 36 wins with 13 games remaining.

yeah.... you really need to give serious props to kenny and the developmental team. I think we all could have assumed that some of the young guys would improve. maybe even 1 guy taking a big leap... but basically our entire starting lineup took an enormous leap as well as our 6th man and 2nd round pick

-Russell took a ENORMOUS leap becoming an all-star. even pro-DLo guys didnt see that
-Dinwiddie took another big leap after last years MIP type season
-Levert had a huge surge to start the year showing big improvment
-Allen in just year 2 is legit starting center and has shown alot of growth
-Joe Harris has basically become the best three point shooter in the league and a floor spacer who gets to the rim too
-Rodi looks like a 20 year vet and everything we thought Kirelenko would have been

also props to marks and kenny... everyone buys in, we have like 13 guys who deserve minutes but never complain even if they are DNP for weeks (Dudley, RHJ, napier, graham....) and eveyrone accepts their role.

its a thing of beauty.

We have 8 more wins then last year, with 13 games still left to play. That is after an 8 win increase from 2017 to last year as well.

-last year only philly improved more from the prior season then we did
-this year only Milwaukee or denver will top is in improvement over last year

things are looking WAY up


In addition to this, our center rotation is A LOT better than last year. We were rolling with Mozgov, Okafor, Zeller, Acy for a lot of the year. Jarrett was limited to 20 minutes a game basically. We've turned that into 48 minutes of Allen and Ed Davis. Tough, mistake free ball at the center position is HUGE for a young team.

I don't think even the biggest Rodi fan could've expected him to start 30+ games as a rookie and show the ability to play 3 and 4 effectively.


Yeah you can't discount having a 2nd rd pick develop into the kind of roleplayer Rodi is becoming. Steal of the draft is an understatement

This has been a fantastic season

The irony is that Rodi would've most likely been a late lotto pick had he remained in the draft the previous year.

I think he was sliding because of his contract situation at the time. DX had him as a late 1st.

Reading through all the posts there is a lot of negativity amongst us (there are valid reasons) but i went with 36. There just had to be natural improvement plus the trust I have in Marks is beyond belief. Im glad i gave myself a 4 month sabatical from online forums because I just didn't have the strength to debate/argue with people on here who believe that they are never wrong and always know best.
The season isn't over and playoffs are not assured. But I will be supporting my Nets team all the way to the finish line.

The only downside is that it may be harder to move up into the top 7 via trade.

That’s why having another 1st is a big deal. We could finish let say, 35-47 and still use that 7 or 8 pick with DEN 1st to move up and also shed salary (Crabbe?).

35 wins. Not too bad of a prediction.
