Playoff Blueprint by Kdub

[Mr. J]

^Yeah, I don't know if Cleveland can pull out a much needed victory against the NBA champs. New Jersey <u>MUST</u> take advantage. They have the Sixers who just finished beating the Heat recently so you can imagine their confidence has soared. If NJ wins this game, than they do have a very legit shot at the post season.

Btw, what's up with Cleveland? They're playing the way the Knicks were in January!

^ indeed they are! I would atribute thier troubles to thier new ownership...not that I wish to complain about it

here the 6ers are pretty muched locked they pretty much insured wins againts the bucks and hawks and they play the nets so lets say they lose to the nets there gunan go 2-1 and they finish over .500 so its pretty much were chasing cleveland for the 8th they play detriot boston and toronto i can really only see them beating toronto so they finsih @ .500 the nets play philly washington and boston witch is sordof tough i see us beeting philly and boston witch would put us at 1 game over. but u never no james and carter can drop 50 at any given nite but they cant do it alone

dont we hold the tie breaker over Cleveland, just incase the records are tied?

o yea dont we hold the tie breaker over clevland just incase records are tied

Although not guaranteed yet, the Nets are finally on the inside, looking futher inside! And the Nets have their destiny completely in their hands now, without having to rely on opponent losses. Carter has definitely backed up his words on pushing the Nets into their highest gear, just in time for the impending playoffs, and the team has followed. Kidd is showing that no surgury can stop him from putting on a defensive clinic, even on the fastest and scrappiest guards like Iverson. Man I cannot stop emphasizing how huge tonight's win was versus Philly. Two more tought matchups coming up, but the Nets show no sign of slowing down.

The Nets now hold tie breakers over both Cleveland and Philly. I forgot exactly how the tie breakers work for 3-way team ties, but if all three teams happen to tie, the Nets would get 7th, and Philly would get 8th. Cleveland would be out.

I was just looking over the original blueprint that you made, and I am simply astounded at the accuarcy of it. Almost all of the records are about to match up with the ones that you blueprinted. I must say: a might fine job

Thanks. I have to admit, I did tweak the .500 and .400 numbers a bit last week when I found a small miscounting error, so it's +/- 1 game different than the real original.

Here's hoping Atlanta gets their 14th win of the season on wednesday.

edit: Ok, I just found another miscount error, and fixed it. Perhaps it was last week's change that caused this.

Well It looks like it will come down to the final game in Boston. And man dont you know guys like PP and Walker would love to send us home for the year. It will be a small bit of redemption for them from the 2002 playoffs, when we sent them home 4-2 and then the swept job we did to them in 2003, so I know we will be in for a war inorder to get in. Boston may not have anything to play for in the standings, but this one is going to be like a playoff game....

 

[Ma3oxuct]

The Boston crowd will be raucous. I remember how they treated Kidd, I expect the same thing from them. The Nets are going to have jump out to an early lead and keep a very good margin until the end of the game.

Last edit, it's done! :dance:

And very nicely done I must say Kdub. It took one more win then expected. But for the most part you were right on target with your prediction. I think the Most important games during that stretch for us was the Orlando game after we got blown out by Miami, both Cleveland games, the Philly game last weekend and of course last night in Boston, if we lost anyone of those games the season would have been done.

Thanks, and I definitely think the Division games were the most important, for obvious reasons of being able advance 1 full game ahead in the division standings with a win.

Check this: Nets are 11-5 against division opponents, the best record in the Atlantic (Boston and Philly are 8-8, Toronto 7-9, New York 6-10). That's huge I think, and it's strong proof for the Nets as being the best of the Atlantic.
