Although i don't see it happening if Vince is out I want to win this game and the one in Toronto. ( and the Cleveland game to complete the sweep )

I voted Sam Mitchell.

I was just playing around with the ESPN Draft Lottery for the hell of it.

4th try got us the 2nd pick

I hope we can atleast get down to like 6th pick. (We're currently 10th).

if we end up having the tenth best chance the best we could get would be 1-3 and the worst 13.. look up how the draft lottery actually works because if we are 10th, 9th, or 8th, we cant get the 7th, 6th, 5th, or 4th, pick

Beating the Raptors would be a good thing just a feel good win . It's not like we're really able to get in a much better lottery position anyway.

I'm not willing to screw the young players confidence completely just for a slightly better chance at a top 3 pick.

I'm with the anti-tankers. I won't be upset if we lose.. but I want the guys to play hard and try to win. We don't even know how to win close games anymore. In all likelyhood RJ, Vince, Harris, Krstic will all be here. I want to see them close out a game at the end, and see if they can start to figure out their 4th quarter roles and chemistry.

Rivalry match: Vince, last season's playoffs. This game does matter ... we can play spoiler and stick the Raps in the 7th seed.

Let's send a message for next season.

GO NETS!!!!

Agreed. Just turned in now, why is VC playing? Thought he would be out for the rest of the 'regular season'?

Yes something with the Knee hasn't looked too bad but won't return save is save.
