i dont know i feel like this team is actually going to turn it up a notch instead of deflating. we have an idea of what this team can do without brook vs .la and other teams, now add ak47 and watch how this team is going to surprise people. please dont call me a homer, but i honestly feel optimistic, even if trade for asik, this team can be dangerous. the good ting is that d will is turning **** up aswell.

I'm not either. Maybe because I've already wasted enough emotion and frustration this season but I think we'll be fine. Limited but fine. We'll just be alot worse on the glass and defense but offensively, we'll be fine.

Long term? I'm not panicking either. What is there to panic about? We already knew the situation we were walking into. Championship or not. We already saw these idiotic risks coming to a head when Deron went down, when Paul went down and with Brook's ankle injuries.

I'm only interested in watching Mirza develop and Deron continuing to return to form as an elite player. We aren't a playoff team and at the looks of it, we will not even reach .500 at all this season.

idk maybe because i dont put emotions into watching games, is why i am able to look at things optimisticly. the veterans will feed off of this in a positive manner, if this where last year were players had losers mentality then this team i say would be done. joe didnt play last night, i know hes going to come back from whatver he had to take care of with fire. mirza already got his confidence back. i think if we make a trade it will push ius eve more. miami and indiana is beatable by the nets. i also think is because the nets lost yesterday that everybody is looking at it glass half empty style, if they would have won it would have been the other way artound. pircer has his confidence back. the division is for the nets to take and the playoffs they can surprise [people

I feel worse for Lopez than the team. Blatche will be fine feeding off of Deron/Joe/PP. He's going to get a big contract from someone after averaging 18-10 the rest of the way.

It will be the Nets paying him, there's no way they can let him go.

Last year's team loser mentality? You do realize that last year's team played leaps and bounds better than this group, right?

The Nets are a 9-17 team and you're talking as if they are 17-9. They just lost their best player. I don't want to kill your optimistic outlook but most of what you've written borders on absolute delusion. This team is cooked.

ok, so optimism=delusion....ok,
you keep forgetting that this team is 9-17 becaus eof injurys and cohesion, so lets stop acting like this is based off the lack of talent , when it wasnt even utilized in unison to begin with. this is a veteran team they bounce back, last years team didnt have heart and thouught everything was over just ove rlittle discrepancies. pierce is getting in a groove, and mirza is getting a shot so i know he will produce. sorry if you cant deal iwth someone who looks at things glasss half full with realism added. if you think thats delusion then believe that fam, but thats on you not on me. i see alot of people here react off emotions smh

There is nothing remotely real about what you've written, especially when you say that Miami and Indiana are beatable by the Nets

I'm not panicking but that's because I've been past panic for awhile. I've been happily locked into apathy and disinterest.

If you mean by panicking as in not worried about missing the playoffs then I agree this team can and will most likely still make it. But w/o Bropez it just won't be the same

You can barely write coherent sentences or spell properly, so its not surprising that you can't even remotely begin to back up your outrageous claim.

KG will be much better at center.

We certainly aren't beating any of those teams. Period. We can compete offensively with them but that's as far as it goes. We'll get killed in transition/inside, we'll get killed on the glass, we'll get killed in post defense.

We'll probably win the division but unless we're facing a team like Charlotte or something, we aren't getting past the 1st round.

This team can probably sneak it's way into the playoffs if the rest of the roster stays healthy, but yeah, 1st round exit, at absolute best they get the 5 seed and since the 4 seed is also likely to be a a suspect joke of a HCA team, maybe we somehow get to the 2nd round only to get destroyed in 4 or 5 games by Miami or Indiana.

More likely case is we wind up a game or 2 over .500, again only if healthy and only if they don't completely meltdown in the next 2 weeks.

42 and 40 is probably good for the 6 seed though lol and then who are you playing as the 3rd seed? Atlanta? Washington? Detroit?

Could see a 1st round "upset".

But all this means little to nothing.

Even if they make the playoffs, it's still an epic fail, injuries included and it just keeps drilling home the point of why picks are so valuable and why you don't gift them away like stocking stuffers for old overpaid vets.

MGrand15 · Post #19 » by **MGrand15** » Sun Dec 22, 2013 6:06 am

You guys can't watch this team play 1 game post-Lopez before flipping out?

We looked pretty good beating the Sixers by 40. KG and Pierce seem to be rounding into form. Deron is back. JJ will be back. We're getting something out of Mirza. Could you say any of those things early in the year? When we racked up this terrible record.

The Wizards/Sixers game were both terrible defensively and rebounding wise, yet we lost by a combined 5 points - does that sound like the team early in the year that was getting blown out by the Bobcats? We've made progress.

Lastly, with AK47 coming back soon, we may be playing an entirely different style if AK47/KG are the starting bigmen. That's a lot of length, BBIQ, and passing from our PF/C - something that we haven't seen before either.

Deron is the key. Not Brook. Brook is awesome but we have enough talent to plug up his departure. That's not true for the PG position.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #20 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Sun Dec 22, 2013 9:20 am

This is so stupid.

We sucked even with Lopez. And without him we are toast.

You guys who think we are gonna make a 4th or 5th seed are smoking crack. We are TERRIBLE. At best we will get a 7th/8th seed.

Boston is leaps and bounds better than us. They will easily take our division.

More likely I see us missing the playoffs and Atlanta taking our lottery pick.

The only thing we have to look forward to is next year. Maybe we can bounce back and contend. But thats assuming Pierce resigns and KG doesn't retire.
