Don't be surprised to see the Wiz lay an egg tonight vs. Celtics.
I can understand Washington trying to play us, they're pretty much the same as us. Young players not much play off experience yadda yadda. It's not cool but I understand.
The Nets are supposed title contenders (ask the NY media), the most expensive team in the NBA and are made up of all stars and cramps. And they're tanking to avoid Chicago?! Coward ass bitches.
Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways
Because its 2015
The Brooklyn nets are a bunch of pussys, bring it on… honestly .. not scared of anybody at this moment. Their scared of Chicago loool underestimate us and we’ll blow you out of the water, grow some balls and show that your tittle contender worth……. Loooool such assholes
What they got to say now? Nothing they can say now. Mobbin' on the low. Winnin' on the low
The city embraced me, made me feel at home. The only difference [between Compton and Toronto] for me is the cold. -DeMar
This is fucking sad. Half the league tanked for Wiggins and co. Now, all of the Eastern conference is tanking for positioning. Fucking sad.

Exactly what I was thinking. Just hope Boston comes out on top and we're golden.
But yes, I agree... F*CK the Nets.
If Washington loses and Charlotte wins, Washington get's the 7th seed and plays Miami in the first round. To much of a gamble for the Wizards to 'tank' their game in my opinion.
MLSE is putting on the entertainment. The team and coaching staff couldn't give two shits about your affinity for seeing Demar play in game 81 or 82.
They want the bling and they make the decisions based on that. And its a process I fully back as I would imagine most fans that want to see playoff success would. Anyone remember Pop's fine for resting players WITHOUT announcing it? 500k , pretty sure Vogel didn't want that coming out of his pocket.
This isn't the WWE, this is world class competition , with a genius marketing plan.
Fight fire with fire. We lose against the Knicks, Bulls win and take #3.
Since the Nets are trying to drop to #6, we've effectively kept their date with the Bulls.

The biggest question I have is whether the Bulls want to win.
Nets - obviously looking to lose and finish #6 and face Toronto (assuming Toronto & Washington want to win)
Washington & Charlotte - obviously looking to win and avoid #7 (don't want to face Miami in round 1)
The above scenarios would result in:
#5 - Washington
#6 - Brooklyn
#7 - Charlotte
That means it all comes down to Toronto & Chicago, to determine #3/#4. Chicago would have the inside track, since a loss by them means they finish #4 and face a Washington/Indy path to the ECF, regardless of Toronto's outcome.
Toronto's game could very well be completely irrelevant, with the Raptors path through Brooklyn & Miami (worst case scenario in both rounds) all but guaranteed. boo

First I laughed 'cause that would screw the Nets, and then I was insulted 'cause everyone thinks we'll be an easy match.
Kidd's certainly not shy about showing a lack of sportsmanship...between this and the spilt drink incident. It's one thing for me as a fan to say we should positon ourselves for the best match up, but he's the actual head coach his team!

Noah and Thibs appear to be anti-establishment. I don't think it's in their nature to want to lose despite their favourable outcome.
