The Nets can't blow this chance after they busted their asses all season long to get to this point.
I strongly disagree... im not saying your wrong because its subjective, but i dont think we will find common ground on this one.
Winning matters. Making the playoffs matters. You want free agents to take us seriously, don't you?
i dont think it matters if we make it or miss it. i think players notice were we are. maybe winning 1-2 rounds would do wonders, but i dont think we'd get out of the first round.
Everything changed for the Nets this season because of winning games. All of a sudden we're getting national coverage on a level we haven't seen in god knows how long. making the playoffs absolutely matters at this point.
right and that doenst get undone if we fall short. we will be viewed as one of the young up and coming teams either way
The Nets should absolutely not settle for less and not use any of the excuses you are giving them. I'm not asking them to get to the east finals, I'm asking them to win 3 games.
its not settling... its the reality. these guys have never played this many games/minutes and in this high impact this late. they are also playing 6 better teams in the 7 games.
it isnt an "excuse" when you lose to a better team when you are running on empty
