Re: Nets Lead Atlantic [merged]
The Nets are 17-17 with Jefferson playing this season, 6-10 without him. If we go by statistics, if he comes back on March 1st, you guys will get around 12 wins with him in the lineup the rest of the way which also means you need to finish February winning 6 out of the next 8 to get back to .500. Of course, we are only going by stats here as theres always the chance that Jason Kidd finds the Steve Nash in him and Nets go on 10 game win streak or something.
Basically, if the Nets win the Atlantic it will likely be because of the Raptors breaking down in the last 2 months of the season. In other words, the Raptors will only have to look after themselves and play their game and the division crown will be theirs. Looking at the Nets record and the way they've played this season, it is unlikely for them to all of a sudden turn everything around barring a major trade.

Re: Nets Lead Atlantic [merged]
Nets have been disappointing, as a Canadian I'm proud of the Raptors. But at the same time, I would be more than happy to see Nets vs Raptors in the playoffs. And I'd cheer for Vince. The guy who put the franchise on the map.

Yep... Vince invented the Raptors and granted us the franchise at the same time. Vince also invented Toronto and he invented Canada. (OK, I know I'm recycling material, but I'm tired of seeing the same junk)

Your not takinginto account RJ was playing injured and a lot of those games were played without House Boone Kristic andCliffy. If when RJ comes back no one else get injured except Kristic we might geta streak.

Re: Nets Lead Atlantic [merged]
do you even know what fact is? Actually, while you're looking that up, search what sarcasm means also.
Good job proving me wrong, Mr. "Vince took Toronto to the Conference finals."
give me a break, go troll the Nets forums.

Re: Nets Lead Atlantic [merged]
Raptors staff messed up the franchise. Vince is partly to blame (37.8%) staff (50%) rest of players (12.2%).

Don't bother man, he's not worth our time. Just let him talk and let him make a fool of himself. We'll see who's going to be laughing at who at the end of the season. He's going to be eating up his own words...

Re: Nets Lead Atlantic [merged]
Yeah whatever peace out Raptor fans. I hope your laughing when we win our division. 2ndround confrence finals at least I know current things. Vince did everyting he gave you great years and what did you do for him draft horribly and waste your cap. Who wants to play in an icicle anyway. I cannot wait till playoff time.
How about that super Oh can a player bounce it of the rim in a game thread NOBODY responded to.
mod note:
-pick a better word brother.

Re: Nets Lead Atlantic [merged]
Especially the Nets one. Say goodbye to your 3.5 lead cause we got the Celts and you to worry about.
