Maybe, but imo they are deep enough to be fine. They got this choking thing about them. Pressure seems to mess with their heads. Don’t know why...their roster is 3x that of the Cavs trash roster. |

I'm watching this Nets/Hornets blowout more closely than the other good games going on right now That's how you know you're too much into the 10-12 Draft Lottery Slot Tank Watch. I'm still nervous Kemba could get hot and the Nets implode.
D'lo playing decently, so that's another plus. |

Lonzo will do that someday. He won't score 35 pts though, probably like 4. Best 4 pt game ever though. |

If every team in the league was playing for wins, the Nets would be dead last in the League. |

Watching DLo trudge up and down the court with that unhappy look on his face and his disinterested body language with the game on the line in crunch time makes me so happy that he’s not a Laker anymore.
He’s on the fast track to nowhere. |

You could be right. It's like he has no sense of urgency. |

Yeah- it was the lackadaisical attitude (including not putting effort into playing D) that was always bothered me most when he was here. It makes it to hard to root for the guy. And every time I’ve seen him play this year, it’s the same thing. He doesn’t seem to care.
He’s clearly talented, but at this level, the mental aspect of the game and the drive/desire to be great are just as (if not more) important than physical skills.
He just doesn’t seem to get it. |

Kemba looked and played absolutely disinterested until the last five minutes once he saw the Nets were just choking it away. He may have checked out completely this season if they’d been blown out in Manhattan and Brooklyn but thanks nets. He might actually play hard the rest of the way.
Nets will own their own pick and might tank next year since they control their destiny. And it will be Russell’s last year before restricted free agency... talk about a crossroads. |

PS Kenny Atkinson couldn’t toss in Mozgov for ten minutes to at least lay on Howard? He couldn’t put in Russell sooner in the fourth to keep him fresh or put Howard in a pick and roll? How was he getting so much praise earlier this season yet manage a game so poorly? He’s got a crap roster but even Brett Brown was instilling solid principles and fundamentals. But no, let’s let our small forward guard Howard for the majority of the game.
Sorry, ending rant, just aggravating how much love Brooklyn got in the beginning of the season when they’re no step closer to being an NBA team.
Go lakers. Beat those Pels. |

Big win for the Cavs last night. Love's return has really thrown a monkey wrench into our tank's engine. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

"Beware the Tanks of March" Thursday Games
Lake Show @ ADavis Show: 3rd game of a back-2-back-2-back! Cmon guys, don't get swept by this squad. They're good but not sweep-your-ass good.
Bears @ Bugs: Sigh. Let's hope Charlotte's hung over from their comeback yesterday. This stings (no pun intended) for our 12th-slot chances.
Detroit @ Houston: Blow em out, Rockets.
Utah @ Dallas, Phi @ Orl : Two teams that could still catch Cleveland.
I'm not sold that the Cavs are "back", they'll be good but not 11-2 in their last 13 games good. Still a shot our pick winds up in the 20-23 range. *fingers crossed |

It seems like Lebron has activated playoff Bron a month early and is going to will the Cavs to the third seed heading into the playoffs. |

Dwight out against the Grizzlies because of his 16th tech, hope the Hornets just play the young guys or something. Hermangomez, come on up! |

25th right now, but.... 7 teams just 1.5 games or less behind the Cavs, with another Washington 2 back.
Potentially a 17th pick, but if 4 teams get by the cavs I would be happy at 21. In the end it will probably be at 23/24, or we lose the pick to rid ourselves of Deng... |

We're behind both Charlotte and Detroit now. Wow. Top 10 pick coming Philly's way. |

This was definitely a really disappointing loss. Should've been a schedule L for the Pelicans. |
