Being in the same division, how does that work, exactly? Lose to the Knicks in the playoffs would be a success?

Your capitalization gives you away almost every time....

Head to head matchups I go knicks. So Knicks beating the Nets in playoffs is good. Nets eliminate Knicks IM rooting for Nets in the next round to beat a NON NY team!

As far as Nets not building a base for the future, Deron and Bropez are still under 30 and their EuroYouths are 25 and 27 as well. Plum is no star but a great pickup. Iso Joe is still in his prime.

Jrod, Nets are interesting to me. Not hiding this.

Head to head with the Nets--anyone with simple basketball acumen easily goes with the Nets. Now put on some rose colored glasses and then whoever looks good.

Their team is comprised mostly of castoffs from other teams

Hes so powerful in his lower body with incredible agility and spring that --what a really REALLY good player. Now that wouldve been a move grabbing Thomas for LESS than Calderon that our fearless leaders couldve laid a foundation piece on the team.

Absolutely. The only thing I don't like about him is his name. Other than that, what a player. The fact that PHX also has Dragic and Bledsoe is impressive.

phoenix right now is doing everything right from top down.

They need to be- their pick is only protected top 5. However even if the tank is a success, the pick is only top 3 protected the following year, when they'll be just as bad as this year. Very bleak times for Laker fans. I can't remember but I think the pick goes to the Suns, in which case, they're sitting pretty.

Flashback to the "why do all good things happen to the beautifully run lakers and not us" UK posts in regards to the Nash trade.

I read today that there's whispers that he's suffering from some sort of back issues. Also it's a big adjustment period for him- probably doesn't help that he's gone from a team of bball savvy vets to his current team mates.

I still think Kevin Love is overrated too!

based on what may i ask?

His ability to put up monster numbers that have zero impact on the outcome of the game.
