Can someone catch me up on why we want to lose?

 

If they lose and the bulls win, they drop to 4th and avoid the miami in the second round.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Best we can hope for is that the Wizards lose their game tonight because it looks like Brooklyn is tanking.

[o2cui2i]

If we lose, Wizards win, Nets lose, and Bulls win we get:

 

Wizards Round 1

Indiana Round 2

 

As of RIGHT NOW we get:

 

Brooklyn Round 1

MIami Round 2

 

at least we dont have to play Charlotte. They kicked our ass all 3 games this year. Chicago is a horrible match up as well. they are too physical for the Raps.

 

best to play good basketball and just kick ass whoever you meant. winning is a way of life.

I like their chances against the nets, would generate more hype than playing the wiz anyways. It's miami I'm scared of but oh well.

I think we beat Brooklyn as well but I think we could've beaten Washington in 5. Brooklyn? 6 or 7.

 

Indiana is just SUCH an easier route than Miami as well.

At least they can build on a second round lose to a championship quality team heading into next year. Beating the Nets would be much more satsifying anyway. That team is just filled with unlikable f***ers.

 

Edit: Just realized how blatant the nets are tanking, even starting Collins over Plumlee. I hope Ross slammes one down over Garnett the first possesson and stares him down

DeRozan holding his hand. Probably fractured 3 fingers.

Nets still have talent though. Those guys can still pull a rabbit out of their asses for one series.

The tank lives!

Maybe, but I like every single one of our starters over theirs, with the exception of the Pierce-Ross match up. If I were betting, Id say Raptors in 5 or 7 over the Nets.

Nets starting 2 guard tonight. Looks like they went out and grabbed a random Mexican to help them lose a game

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Bulls lose.

 

Raps lock up 3 seed. It's going to be Brooklyn/Miami.

Especially with homecourt. Nets are far better at home than on the road

Angrioter?

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Alright might as well try to win #49.

[Orgfiller]

It's funny how the Knicks keep missing wide open layups and dunks.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Go for three please. Nobody wants to see overtime.

[Orgfiller]

This is why I worry sometimes in the 4th. Sure this game doesn't really count, but it wasn't uncommon for Casey to throw out Salmons and Novak and Hayes for a large portion of the 4th, including the last minute.

[Orgfiller]

Oh well, great season by the Raps. Playoffs here we come!!!

[GD]

I'm really glad we picked up De Colo.

 

Bring on the Nets. f*** the old guys.

FA after this year but would be a good insurance signing in case they don't re-sign Vasquez.

 

Considering we only gave up Austin Daye to get him.... good deal.

[GD]

I hope Terrence Ross drops Alan Anderson at some point and Demar dunks on Paul Pierce. Is Lopez back yet?

[Orgfiller]

Any possibility of Al Jefferson completely s***ing on the Heat and LeBron choking the whole series?

[eastcoastjaysfan]

No, Lopez is out for the year.

[Orgfiller]

No, Lopez is out for the year.

 

Huge advantage for us, even though he's not a great rebounder or defender it gives Jonas a better chance to dominate. We BETTER feed him in the post when he's hot.

[GD]

Thank jeebus. Feed Jonas and this series could swing in our favor. Maybe they switch Garnett onto him and have Blatche on Amir and Amir outworks Blatche and puts up like 80 boards.

[over500]

Probably the last game in NBA for Dwight Buycks. Man, he was awful.

[GD]

 

I don't know why that has to be a thing.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Garnett is done. Guy didn't even score 20 points in any game this year. They'd be insane to play him extended minutes.

 

They've barely been playing Pierce 25 MPG for the last month. Saving him for the playoffs. Pierce might have one good series left in him but Garnett is 100% done.

[Caper]

Probably the last game in NBA for Dwight Buycks. Man, he was awful.

 

 

I thought he signed a 2 year deal..... He probably is not an NBA player..... But I don't think I saw him play until tonight.... maybe 2 or 3 minutes of garbage time. He did run his ass off out there.
