W!

Excuse me national TV **** talking heads.

Lots of talk about LeQueen passing 23K.
Lots of talk about Dirk passing Oscar tonight to become the #10 NBA scorer of all time.
Lots of talk about Nash about to become the 3rd leading assister of all time.

WTF about Paul **** Pierce the Truth about to become the 18th baller in NBA freaking history to score >25K points tomorrow????
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Game doesn't really matter, does it? Just rest everybody important except for Garnett.

I guess.

Nets would have to win out (5-0) & either Bulls or Raps would have to go 2-3 to get HCA.

I feel like it's been awhile since we've seen Kirilenko do Kirilenko things.

Yeah that's not happening. Raps get the sixers at home tomorrow, then the Knicks at home, i think they will win as well, and they still have the bucks at home, that's 3 right there.

Bulls won't go 2-3 either, they are locked in and they want the third seed.

We are still 2 games back of Chicago/Toronto. I'd still look to win out.

It would be pretty bad if we didn't take the rest of these games seriously while the Raptors or Bulls potentially stumble this week or next week.

Yup. Gotta keep trying.

Absurd that Fakers have been televised on National TV every other **** day lately & get blown out 9 out of 10 times. Games were scheduled before Kobe went down.

Something slipped my mind, with this win tonight and if the pacers beat the heat on friday, we could avoid a 2nd round matchup with miami, that's important.

Yep, and Miami is @Memphis tmw on a b2b, that's going to be a brutal matchup for them. A loss tomorrow (and an Indiana win @Milwaukee, hopefully), and then a loss to Indiana on Friday, and the Pacers would have pretty much wrapped up the 1 seed. However, I really doubt Miami loses to Indiana, tbh. They'll be at home, and the Pacers are in free fall right now.

If the Bulls could win out, and the Knicks could win at least one of those games against Toronto, then Chicago has the 3 seed, and we don't have to face them in the playoffs.

And if we win out, and Toronto loses 3 games down the stretch (2 games vs NY, 1 game vs Detroit?), we would actually win the division...and own the tiebreaker with Chicago if we managed to tie them.

It would take Toronto going 2-3, Chicago going 3-2, and for us to win out though, so a huge long shot.

I saw the Eagles start off 2-3 to comeback and win the division with a 10-6 record,

The talk about rest is nauseating, Kidd has handled the minutes situation perfectly all season long. The Nets should attempt to win out.

Excellent & correct analysis.

Win out & see what happens!
