Official NJ Nets Watch

Finally

New Jersey and Sacramento have identical records. Hope Sacramento passes them, so we can have the 5th pick. Otherwise a coin flip if they finish the season tied. Then may the ping pong balls be good to us for a change.

That's what worries me because both OKC and LA are so close with Dallas in that 2-3-4 spot they can't afford to drop a game.

All I can hope is Evans plays like he plays against the jazz and Cousins tries to make a statement in his last games as a rookie

NJ beating Charlotte seems like a forgone conclusion, a D-league team could be Charlotte right now

NJ IS a D-League team. It's up to Lopez, Vujacic and Outlaw, because everyone else is hurt. NJ may only dress 9, and that's counting their back-up PG who has a bruised knee. Charlotte might just have a chance tonight. Let's hope they want to win instead of trying to improve/maintain their lottery position.

Is Sjax giving it a go tonight for the bobcats?

I was at the Warriors game last night (rooting for the Kings). I like the way Curry is turning out as a PG.

Make a note, games are won by shooters and interior defense. Marcus Thornton won the game on a cross over and 22 footer. Curry was the game-high scorer and also dished really well, like a mini-D.Will.

So does Curry's development portend the same path for Fredette?

 

[Zerol]

YES!! Now we need to get behind the 'Cats tomorrow.
Dangit; Pacers lost; they still need another W!
Hopefully the Thunder will use up their thunder against the Lakers tonight and be a little flat for the Kings...

Why would the Pacers be of any of our concerns??

Is it sad that I'm getting more excited about the stretch run during a losing season (improving our draft position) than fighting for playoff position?

Either way, I love watching to see if we can keep the #5 spot. Go KINGS!

Does NJ have the tiebreaker over WAS? I've noticed they're only 2 games ahead of them so if NJ loses their last 2 and WAS wins do we jump another slot?

the way to break the tie is flipping a coin rather than looking at head-to-head records for the draft order purpose.

Go Tyreke! Go Demarcus! Brilliant move by my current hometown Grizzlies taking Thabeet over Evans. Doh!

But note that they don't flip a coin for 5th vs 6th positions in the lottery... both teams each get the same lottery chance, which is the average of the chances between what the 5th and 6th worst teams would normally have.

So does Curry's development portend the same path for Fredette?

Possibly. It's great to have player that has to be guarded literally everywhere he goes. It attracts a lot of attention from defenders who have to key in and can open some seems. Curry is a slick passer. If Jimmer's hands are as fast, then maybe he can play similarly. Curry got burned by Marcus Thornton in an iso on the game-winning play though. Thornton has a couple of inches on Curry.
