Game Thread: Pelicans @ Nets - 3-10-15

[notime]

we had 34 last season... so yes we're already 2-up

Alright that's what I thought should be more and how crazy would it be if the mavs fall out and Us And OKC make it....mind = blown

^ Exactly, % is meaningless and is just used for in-season standings, it's quite philosophical, but in the end it's about total wins and tiebreakers.

No it's meaningful. If both teams win out OKC finishes ahead due to having 1 less loss. The percentages are valid.

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Were there any injuries in this game?

[Tip-Off]

please join me in the Cleveland/Dallas thread... since the Mavs could be a team that falls aside and allows both OKC & NOP in

How incredibly sweet would that be?

that would mean they would finish 1 full game ahead of us in the standings when things even out

[billfromfinance]

We are both 15 1/2 games back with us owning the tie breaker. % doesn't matter when they have 2 games before our next.

so seeing as we haven't hit the end of season yet, we aren't 8th. why have a discussion about where we would be if this was the end of the season when it isn't?

Because some men just want to see the world burn.

Others want to pound their fists on a table.

Others pound their chest on message boards.

Actually, OKC plays Chicago Sunday at noon. So, they will have played three straight before we play Denver later that evening.

Hope they lose all of them.

You knw what I get it that we probably won't make it but it just feels good to actually be talking playoffs for once and even if it doesn't or at least till its final let's enjoy it people bc it's been a loooong time

[BlueJay]

Great win, Q1 worry me a bit good that they righted the ship.

We're now official one of the hottest team in NBA and starting to win on the road, good job teams and Monty.

9 and 1 the last 10 games 9-2 last 11

Because it's fun.

Look y'all. I talked to my psychic and she's very reputable. She predicts things very well. She said we're gonna see the Pelicans do well in march but come April they will win 3-4 games. Sorrrry but I'm trusting my psychic over the wishful thinking.

But the reality is we have reasons to believe we will get into the playoffs. WE WILL PROVE TO OKC AND THE WEST THAT WE ARE GETTING IN THE PLAYOFFS. We are better than the thunder. Time will tell!!!

[ramsters60]

I'm guessing your psychic just enjoys what she is doing, right.... I mean after winning the lottery and all. Wait! she has predicted the winning numbers, hasn't she?

I agree and I hope everyone else here does too. It's nice to be in the conversation, even with as marginal of a chance as we have. I just hope we all remember that if and when we are eliminated from playoffs, rather than crying "fire this person", "blame that person", "trade X player", we're content that even with a tough schedule we persisted and made ourselves part of the conversation knowing that next year we're in there and the other teams aren't going to be happy about it because that should be the greatest takeaway from our play of late.

I know it's an exercise in futility, but I can only imagine how stoked we would all be if NOLA was still in the Eastern Conference. Instead of being in a dogfight for the 8th spot, the Pels would be in the 6th spot, with the 3rd or 4th well within reach.

Nets has got 3 injuries
AD was hit by eye (brow :P ) by Deron, but it did not look serious. especially with short lateseason break

It's not a coincidence the team plays the best team ball and blows out someone they should.....with Tyreke not on the floor.

Just sayin'.

Imagine if Dallas falls and Pels still overtake OKC. Set up a 1st round against Memphis. Mind=coma

We match up well with them so I could honestly see us making it to the second round if that's the case

Very underrated post IMO. 9000> out of 10. What does she say about jet fuel melting steel beams? The people need to know.
