Net Watch - Atlanta's Right To Swap 1st Round Picks With Brooklyn

[MrMeltdown]

15-21 and they won 3 games in the last 5 game stretch that I didn't think they would.

Next 5 games:

@ Toronto

vs Hawks in London

@ Knicks

vs Orlando

vs Dallas

I say 18-23. They have already made a big enough move to be 7th in the East at nights end which is just sad. I am a Hawks fan probably for life but there is a part in me that is happy to see this work out this way considering Danny Ferry's cheerleading bloggers had tried to make this into another part of Ferry's so-called genius.

King (ie Prokorov) has made some dumb moves for sure, but Livingston for the minimum ain't one of em. Kid been saving their bacon.

Brooklyn like us is playing over their heads, it's only a matter of time before they like us truly regress. Say what you want but Kidd is getting a lot out of that team right now.

To think that just a few short weeks ago, Horf was healthy, the team was coming together under Bud in an epically weak East, Lopez broke his foot and we were debating who to take among Wiggins, Parker and Embiid. Life as a Hawks' fan - gotta love it!

Guys....I'm sorry.The real problem is me. Rant and rave about how this plan sux, and we look like we might be getting a lottery pick. Dang...don't want to believe it, but Lopez breaks his foot and I'm forced to buy in. Brooklyn turns it around.

Meanwhile, bitch and moan about being a mediocre club, we rise to 3rd in the East. Start enjoying the great basketball, Horford goes down. Bitch about Horford going down and suggest we trade him...we put up decent wins against quality clubs.

I think I need to go back to Gloom and Doomsaying!!!!

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!!!!!!! Can we catch a dang break man!?!?!?!

Oh, and someone finally handed Charlotte a mirror, too. Brooklyn's now a 7-seed!

I'm calling this stretch the "Coming Up for Air" phase for the Brooklynites. LeBron just made it obvious (first game fouling out in how long?) that he wants no part of this team below the HEAT getting a stud competitor in the draft.

The Hawks can help put a stop to this madness. On Thursday. If we dare!

You know Jeffrey is gonna ball out in his return to his native land of London!

[MrMeltdown]

The Nets really are a shell of what they used to be though. KG's jumper is dead, Pierce can't get to his pet spots as well and doesn't make the shots as much, but they are better than a lot of people ever will be.

[ViperXX79]

The league must of told the refs to help the Nets out. First KD gets into foul trouble now Lebron. Not cool NBA. That never happens.

[Horf]

I was finally actually getting excited for the NBA as our future looked bright, but I should've known being a Hawks fan it was too good to be true..

Let's Go Raps!

The NBA is trying to help the Nets by getting derozan in foul trouble now..smhSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

John Salmons was like, "No WAY we're losing on Drake Night!"

How bout Salmons tonight? And he just got there!

Sitting KG today for "rest" purposes (either that, or for cussing about J-Kidd making him play center) didn't hurt, either!

Back below the line you go, Nets! J-Smoove coming through for the Pistons and/or the Knicks trouncing Philly oughta do it! Plus several teams will get to gain some ground on Brooklyn between now and Thursday. No Sleep Till London!

DEEEEEEEEEETROOOOOOIIIIIIT BASKETBALL!

Smoove won the game, then almost lost the game, then won the game! Nets, welcome back to the 9th seed! Make yourself comfortable!

[MrMeltdown]

I figured they would lose this one.

[lethalweapon3]

Ah, fudge!

I forgot about Charlotte! (not the first time that's happened).

They're still playing and WHEN they lose to the Bulls (yeah, thanks a LOT, Cartier!), the Nets get their #8 seed back. Well, that was fun for 5 minutes, anyway.

According to my sources (ESPN), Deron Williams will not make the trip to London to face the Hawks on Thursday.Not sure whether the Nets will be better or worse without him though.

Every game ATL vs Brk is a Hawks must win.

In other news, the Knickerbockers have won 4 straight. They have Phoenix tonight. Go Knicks!
