Basically a 2 game lead in the loss column for this team?

Looks like a perfect chance to relax against the worse team in the league....and sixer this thing up.

Just take the guarantee win if the starters play. Hopefully rest 4th quarter.

We got back to backs Friday/Saturday. Can rest than

7 games left, we need to go 4-3 and the Nets 6-0 to lose the first seed and the only team above .500 we face is the Heat.

We need an epic colapse to Sixer this one up

I also monitoring the Clippers record. I believe they will make the Finals this year, and why not to have a better record then they do. If we really plan to win it all.

Once the Nets lost the 2nd game to the Bucks, that pretty much put the #1 seed in the bag.

Now I'm kinda rooting for the Bucks to catch the Nets for the #2 seed. That could make that a 6-7 game series. Maybe let the Nets play an opening round series against the Heat as well. I want the Nets as beat up as possible for the ECF.

I was just sayin, if we are biting our nails in the 4th again, I'm tossin' my laptop out the window

Seriously, not much to see here other than a pretty much automatic #1 seed.

I think the Heat and the Celtics have the bigger odds of ending on the play in and as a result with the 7th seed.

The Heat plays against the Celtics twice, against the Bucks and against us. All of them as visitor except for the game against us. The Celtics also play the Knicks on their last game.

The celtics-Heat games are probably gonna decide who ends on the play in tournament. The knicks schedule is super **** up but they have a 3 game adventage over both of those teams and it's probable some playoff teams are gonna rest players in the last games.

The Hawks i think are gonna end between 4 and 5

The Heat game against the 76ers, is the 2nd game of a back-to-back for the 76ers. By that game, the #1 seed should be wrapped up. The 76ers won't play anybody important in that game.

Maybe that's why he sat out all those games with an "illness." Didn't want to disclose more evidence of an altercation! Was he wearing glasses in that Target parking lot pic?

There's literally no defense being played in this game right now. Making it fun to watch but damn, we need to clamp down and start playing soon or else this is going to be an annoying game to close out.

He literally said he's going through the motions in an interview last game. Trying to avoid injury, and just build up his conditioning. THink that's smart.

Porter is mad talented, but you can just tell he's going to play for like 5-6 different teams in his NBA career because his personality sucks so much.
