2021-2022 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

The Nets are 9th in the EC and the Lakers 10th in the WC.

Nobody would have guessed this before the season.

Big game Tuesday night. I think the Sixers need 7-1 in their last 8 to get the number 1 seed.

Do you really want the #1 seed?

Embiid has some work to do if they shut LeBron down. LeBron is at 30.1 PPG and Embiid is at 29.9 PPG.

Lebron not done

Do you really want the #1 seed?

Why wouldn't he? Outside of 4, the 1 seed is the best place for the top 4

Do you really want the #1 seed?

Yep. There’s too much volatility in projecting where the Nets would be seeded.

That is true. Be hilarious if they don't get outta the play-in.

It would but I think that’s nearly impossible. Looks like they will be no worse than 8 and that means they have two chances to win one game.

Yeah, I am amused by people still picking the Nets to come out of the East. Certainly possible, but they look like they will have the longest possible road right now.

NBA trivia time: Only 8 seed to ever make the Finals?

Love stories like this.

Hard work pays off.

Knicks

Yep,

1998-99 team.

Maybe the Nets click and run the table, but keep in mind that they will be playing a lot of road games with that bad seed. It's a tough hill to climb.

 

[DJ Fieri]

With Boston playing as well as they are.....Tatum needs to be in the MVP discussion.

Amused how? Did you not see what they did to the Heat/Sixers/Bucks since the break? And what they are likely going to do to Milwaukee again on Thursday?

Losing on the 2nd night of a b2b doesn't discourage me. Assuming they are healthy, beating Ky and KD 4 out of 7 is damn near impossible. A task i think only the Suns and a healthy Warriors team can accomplish

Read the other day that at one point this season they were double digit games under .500. Crazy

Agree. The greatest likelihood of the Nets failing would be injuries at key positions.

Yeah. Now the #1 seed.

For now.

I have looked, and I am not impressed. Yes, they beat some good teams since the break, but not enough of them. They lost in march to the Heat, Celtics, Raptors, Mavs and Grizzlies so far. They are 7-3 in their last 10, but everyone in the east outside Miami and Chicago is pretty hot right now and that isn't a standout number in any way. They have a strong puncher's chance in any series with Kyrie and KD, I get it, but there is no evidence they are turning it on down the stretch.

And only in the celtics game they had a full squad. You can only judge them at this point in games where Kyrie and KD played. Even the Memphis game, they were without seth and goran

The Dubs are just free falling.

Gotta get healthy.

Andrew Wiggins is a awesome 3rd or 4th option.

Asking him to be your #1 while Steph is out is too much.

Remember just a few years ago they were winning games east. Walking all over teams. Now people are like the warriors. Who are they?
