you have atlanta finishing last in the east??? you obviously dont know a thing about ball…then you have denver missing the playoffs completely? smh you def need to actaully start watching the games.

I think Atlanta will finish 4th in the east. Easily.

aaaaaaaa is just showing off the general intelligence level of the “optimistic” faction of Net fandom

Who’s the intelligent person. A person who is optimistic and roots for his team, knowing full well all it’s faults and failures, or the person who hates the team he roots for, and lets you know about it everytime he opens his mouth?

The difference between the optimistic “faction” (makes it sound like some Latin American political discussion, doesn’t it?) and the pessimistic “faction” (or perhaps “fringe”) is about 10 games

I dont think any optimistic believes the Nets will win more than +/- 40 games and I doubt any pessimist believes the Nets will win any less than +/- 20 games. So we are talking about the outcome of 10 games. Teams can win or lose 10 games based on a lot of things, most importantly being team health with chemistry a close second. There just isn’t THAT mucd difference among the teams below the top five or so. I am prepared to actually wait to see what will happen when the ball goes up. Until then, neither side has much relevance.

“The guys know everybody is going to get a shot to do what they need to do,” Harris said. “We don’t have the consistent guys we had last year. Obviously, it was me and Vince carrying the majority of the scoring load. Now we’re broken up a little bit more.”

I really like the idea of the scoring load being distributed among more players. The Nets always seemed to play better, more fluid, when they weren’t running the offense through one guy.

Wow, somebody finally just came out and said that the optimistic fans are not intelligent. good one. now you know why people complain about you. Pessimistic posts are fine. But enough with the smug superiority. I say let’s all take an IQ test together and see what happens.

The pessimistic/whiners faction would complain about the day of the test, its location, content and results, over and over again. Maybe Net Income can set up parallel sites, just like they do on C-Span. I.E.(Demoracts, Republicans, Independents)

Well yes, I would expect homers, outright liars, or people who are on hallucinogens to complain about someone who just calls it like he sees it.
