Around NBA and season prediction seeding wise.

[Hello Brooklyn]

I personally am not as scared of the Bucks as you guys are. I mean they are probably better than us but I don't think they are unbeatable at all.

Giannis is great but hes frankly overrated as some unstoppable force. Build a wall and pack the paint and hes not as effective.

Middleton being heralded as some savior is not convincing to me. He wasn't even good enough to make the all star team last year. And who knows about his health.

I think the Bucks got very luck to get through the east two years ago with us being injured as were the Hawks. And then the Suns choked like they always do.

I would be way more worried about the Celtics. They know how to beat us and have good defenders to slow down KD.

Boston is also just a very tough place to play in. I don't wanna see them. I think we need vintage Simmons to really disrupt Tatum and give us a shot.

Boston does nothing but blitz him; every time has been doing that since and he’s still averaging scary numbers. Nets have to learn not to play one on one against Boston or Milwaukee and KD/Kai always go opposite the way they should when a screen is set which is weird when the purpose is to help them get open.

Man, SackTown really gave up Tyrese for Sabonis? They should sell team and send it to Seattle.

That's without me saying they picked Bagely over Luka.

Saltics getting exposed and their coach is kaka.

[GTR11]

Tyrese Haliburton is my MVP this far. I mean just watch that kid play... he is a problem!!!

The Nets are now 5th in ORTG, 10th in DRTG

Jacque Vaughn should be heavily considered for COTY.

JV replicating what Ime did last year. Absolutely COTY level performance. Entire team that has Kyrie on it believes in JV. Something no coach was able to accomplish.

ORTG is deceiving for sure for sure. We best team out there with closest competition trailing 10 miles away. TJ is unfair to have on this team.

These next two months will be pivotal, if we can squeeze it out to March healthy, I like our chances.

Race for the first seed started after win vs Cavs, can argue it's Bucks but I don't believe we were sending message for seeding reason, more like we here and you better be ready.

After Cavs game we send a message to the entire EC that we here and it'll be going through us. Now race for the 1st seed is essential imo. Here's why:
1- Nets get to play some victim
2- Saltics will be hoping Pacers ain't that 7th seed
3- Greek will have his hand full dealing with Jimmy
4- Philthy will take Cavs virginity
5- Cavs
6- Jimmy vs Greek boy. Both won't be healthy enough to complete for top 2 seed, end up playing each other.
7- Ping Pong clowns will make it this year
8- Hali is for real, but they ain't got enough. Sweep.

Rest not worth to talk about.

Our team is too old and frail to really push for the one seed, but getting to #1 and likely only having to play one of Boston and Milwaukee would be huge.

From a juicy narrative perspective, Nets vs Knicks in round 1, Nets vs Philly in Rd 2 and Nets vs Milwaukee in Rd. 3 would be ideal.

Beside Cavs it's true to any top 4 teams. Saltics has 3 washed up players that key rotation guys and one injury prone player. Bucks ? Not exactly young mob, Miami... let me know if they found fountain of youth, Philthy older than if you look at the roster.

I'm rally dumbfounded what you mean we can't get 1st seed. Depth wise neither of those teams can compete with us.

Don't get me wrong, I'm more than willing to cut KD's min and sit him when we can. I'd sit him for 1/3 of the remaining schedule if it was up to me. Other than that:

Ben rested entire year. He ain't old.
Kyrie?
Nic?
TJ just missed 2 years. He won't be sitting even if we'd ask.
Yuta? Nope
Morris ain't even traveling with the teams at times.
Sumner? He won't sit
Cam?
Joe and Seth need reps. They need to worry about next contract.
Beside KD I'm not sure why exactly you'd call this team old. They either in their prime or got contract to worry about. 1st seed is way to go for this guys.

I didn't say we can't get to the #1 seed. I said we're too frail to really push for it, i.e. no days off for KD/Simmons/Warren, etc & playing KD 40+ minutes to squeeze out wins. We absolutely have the talent to get it if we're willing to do the above, KD avoids technical foul suspensions, and we remain healthy. That's a lot of ifs. I trust Giannis and Tatum to be durable. I have less confidence about Durant's ability to stay healthy and fresh all season.

Yes, KD is the only real old guy in the rotation, but Kyrie, Simmons, Claxton, Warren, Watanabe, Harris and Curry have all either been injury prone or are dealing with recent injuries.

Giannis is one man team right now. You've seen them, they got lot's of issues.

Last year Ime revamp Saltics with some toughness ( mind set ). This year they reverted back to old soft Brad Stevie team. They good to win 50 games, they soft af. They not getting 1st seed this year. That schedule will be tough at the end.

hopefully the clax bump to Giannis sent a message that you ain't **** with us like you did in 2021 with that deliberate injury. When I saw JB last year stand up to Giannis after nearly taking him out mid air, I was praying someone on the Nets would do the same and Clax stepped up.

If those are the matchups, Nets have no excuse not to win it all. The cards have been falling their way, now they have to keep it going.

[GTR11]

I don't see how Bucks maintain top 4 seed with Cavs, Philthy and maybe Miami. Giannis game is all about physicality and wearing teams out just like LBJ did in years past. It's just he can't pass/playmake like him. PROBLEM!!!

Compare the last 30 games of this season with say Philly.
Nets have about as good a chance as anyone to finish 1st , meanwhile Philly with that schedual are likely to be in the Playin.

LeBron absolutely amazes me.

To me he's a straight-up Mt. Rushmore player, alongside Jordan, Wilt & Kareem, and maybe even the absolute GOAT, but man... LeGM is such an absolute dunce.

Looking ahead a bit 1/8 @ Miami or 1/12 vs Boston set up like the Indy game earlier, where resting players for one game gives them 6-7 days off. It's not ideal to do that vs Eastern Conference playoff teams, but it's something to be considered. Skipping Miami yields 6 straight days off. Skipping Boston yields 7. I'd strongly consider resting guys for Miami.
