Deron carried them?

As if he's not playing with brook, Jj, Wallace, and blache

And a 4 seed means nothing when you can't beat a team without 3 of its best players

But I guess that's because a) the coaching b) deron is tired or c) deron is hurt, right?

Yes, he carried us. He's the PG, he sets up Brook and Dray, and his penetration gets guys like Wallace and Johnson open looks. Have you ever seen the Nets try to play ISO ball without Deron handling the ball?


Without Deron we would have been the 7 or 8 seed at best, in the first half when he was playing hurt we were the 6/7 seed. We would have struggled to win 40 games without him.

So without deron you're a 6 or 7 seed that doesn't make it out the first round?

:ohhh:

So a team who had not made the playoffs in 7 years makes it as a 4 seed doesn't matter for anything? When did the Nets become Title or failure like the Heat?

When was Deron tired or hurt in the playoffs? When did anyone make that excuse? His play was clearly affected pre-ASB by his ankles, and after he sat out for a week and got treatment he looked like his old self. Since the ASB he has been healthy so if he had a bad game injury was no excuse.

And if. you watched PJ coach that team in the playoffs I'd say it may have had an impact on our game, especially going against a real coach in Thibs.

It wasn't the only reason we lost for sure but to write off coaching and blame it all on Deron :childplease:

I think I said 7 or 8 seed AT BEST, and we would struggle to win 40 games which is only good for those seeds in a shytty East.

But yea you're right, no difference between 40-42 and getting destroyed by Miami round 1 and 49 wins and losing in Game 7 for a team like the Nets who have been horrible for 7 years.

Next year once we clinch a playoff seed I hope the Nets tank for the 8 seed, that's really where you wanna be since it makes no difference if you don't win the Title right?
