What do you think are the chances of Washington passing Brooklyn (1.5 games back), which would mean we face Brooklyn anyways haha?

Not really a threat because the Wiz are going through a bad stretch right now and Brooklyn is still surging

They lost their last two games though, my dude.

Thank goodness. They also should have lost the Dallas game.

I was looking at the schedule for all the teams in the playoff picture and based off of who each team will be playing to end the season I think the playoff seeding is going to be from 3-6: Chicago, Toronto, Brooklyn, Washington and Charlotte. Washington and Charlotte can switch but it's more likely Washington pulls it out at the end. Chicago and the Raps could switch but from looking at the schedule Chicago has no for sure loses or likely loses on their schedule while we do. Chicago could easily go 10-0 the rest of the way but I think it will be more like 8-2 or 7-3. We will probably end up with the same amount of wins as them but in every realistic scenario I've looked at Chicago comes out with one less loss than us. We'll see what happens, but I'm prepared for us to play Brooklyn in the first round. Not good.

With a aging roster in the Nets ... Do you think they will blow their load just to win the division or do they know they have a team built for the playoffs and will rest some bodies ?

Btw, when did they take down our Atlantic Division Champ banner from ACC? Last time I was there I was looking for it and saw only the Inaugural Season one hanging there.

Home court against the nets wouldn't be too bad. They just need to secure home court to give them their best chance

Someone tweeted that prior to a game a couple weeks back. I think it was wolstat or maybe lewenberg

With a young roster who many of them are playing first playoff game . I thnk playing on the road maybe wouldn't be such a bad thing ... I recall the Raptors ( Chris Bosh first playoff game ) first game against the Nets at the ACC they played scared and were intimated by the situation at first ..

We'll just have to steal one of games 3 or 4 in Brooklyn.

First off, welcome aboard. Regarding the aging nets…we hear about this a lot but does it still hold water? Garnett is old but he's been doing a good job of being old. He hasn't played in a while and the nets seem to be doing just fine with out him Pierce? Old too but he just hangs out on the perimeter and drops game winning shots. From there, you've got Deron, Johnson and Plumlee in the starting 5…not so creaky. I think as we get to spaced out playoff games, it's time to put this perceived deficit to bed.

And they just have to steal one of games 1 and 2 from us.

What I meant was that, if we come out flat in game 1 and lose, we'd have to win either game 3 or 4 to gain home court advantage back.

Not an impossible task.

Proper thing.

Only banners that should go up are Conference winners and the obvious one.

if you didn't win it in the playoffs, who cares?

Agreed. It has TL's fingerprints all over it.
