Official Game Thread: New Jersey Nets @ Philadelphia 76ers

[The Hypnotoad]

Good, we lost.

[Rich Rane]

Recycling game thread.

Recycling game thread.

Eww...don't do that. We're playing at Philly anyway.

We should wipe away the stigma of getting blown out in this thread.

[NyCeEvO]

Since Rich was too lazy to create a new game thread and had the audacity to recycle the game thread from last time where we got blown out, I figured it is only proper to start on a new game thread with a clean slate.

WHO?
New Jersey (and just officially voted to become on April 30th) "Brooklyn" Nets
vs.
Philadelphia 76ers

WHERE?
Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA

WHEN?
7pm

WHY?
Because the NBA wants to punish for a few more games before the season mercifully takes its vice grip off of our throats.


Leggooo....... (my Eggo)

and its not even like hes doing great out there he's still kind of sucking it up

[AVERYbigmistake]

The pick is going to Portland regardless. Might as well make it as bad as possible...

Not if it's top 3.

[AVERYbigmistake]

I know. But it won't be Top 3. Our luck stinks. :-/

[vincecarter4pres]

Touche.

Based on historical data in the last 6 years, we have a pretty good chance:

Year/Record/1st Pick/2nd Pick/3rd Pick
2011 - 8th (2.8%)/1st (21.5%)/6th (9.4%)
2010 - 5th (10.3%)/6th (6.0%)/1st (17.7%)
2009 - 3rd (17.7%)/6th (8.3%)/4th (13.2%)
2008 - 9th (1.7%)/1st (21.5%)/3rd (14.5%)
2007 - 6th (5.3%)/5th (9.7%)/4th (13.3%)
2006 - 5th (8.8%)/2nd (18.8%)/3rd (14.5%)
Standing/6th worse/3rd-4th worse/3rd-4th worse

At the average, we need to be at least the 6th worse record... "May the odds be ever at our favor"

[vincecarter4pres]

We're probably going to have the 8th or 9th worst record....
