Those 3 guys are so overrated it's not even funny. They're supposed to be this big time back court and Lopez is such a scorer most of the time, but I think they don't really raise their level of play nor lift their teammates as much as they should for the level they're supposed to be as players.

The Knicks have more mentally tough players IMO. We still have STAT and Shump out of the mix and still the Nets aren't able to really match the Knicks intensity. It's not Wallace, Humphries or Evans. Deron, Joe and Lopez need to be the ones setting the tone.

Dwight screwed them. That's what you're seeing with BK. That's why they had to spend money on the likes of Overrated Joe.

Like I said before, 5th/6th seed at best. And how is MarShon Brooks not getting more playing time?

Brooks does not get PT because he plays little to no defense most times.

oh and the 6th pick they gave up for Wallace became Lilliard the rookie of the year. Orlando would've loved him, Lopez and Brooks for Howard

$330M for a .500 record.

Yup, BK Imposter StarPhucked big time. None of their players are franchise type players.

Well, I personally don't believe the Nets even make the postseason this year. Only time will tell but as of right now Brooklyn is tied with Boston for the 7th/8th seed with Orlando only 1 game behind both. The 76ers should become much improved once they get their big man in Bynum back.

There is a real chance we get Boston during the first round, unless they start to heat up and climb the standings. If the season were to end today? It's the Knicks (1) against the Celtics (8) during the first round. Miami would have Brooklyn. Atlanta (3) would have Indy (6) and Chicago (4) would have the Bucks (5).

I personally believe the Knicks, Heat, Bulls, Celtics, Hawks, Pacers, 76ers and Bucks will be our 8 Eastern Conference playoff teams. I also believe Orlando will finish ahead of Brooklyn as the 9th seed while Brooklyn drops to 10th behind all of the above. But yea, only time will tell but I look for teams such as the Bulls, Celtics, 76ers and Pacers to improve as the season goes on.

Chicago will get Rose back.
Pacers will get Granger back.
76ers will get Bynum back.

I don't think the Nets can (or will) keep up.

As I stated, only time will tell.

Only 25 games in. I don't think that means the Nets will make the playoffs. See what I did there? Exactly.

But as of right now? The Nets are currently spiraling out of control. Remember their 11-4 start? Looking more and more like a fluke. They've now lost 3 consecutive and 8 of their last 10 overall.

Don't look now, but the Nets could be out of the playoff picture before you know it. Keep playing like this, and they will be.

They can't use the injuries excuse either now.

Oh my bad, they missed Jerry Stackhouse last night.

A picture really is worth a 1000 words.

Dwill and blatche to portland for lmaldridge and lilliard?

LOLLL

I knew he was trouble when Jerry Sloan quit because of his DWILL's ****ty attitude

I would rather have Marbury than DWILL, at least Marbs wasn't a dick
