Gideon Zaga:
Btw im more interested to see those who switched to the Nets side after the Lin debacle.I wander how that other side of the bridge feels right now.

TBH, I disagree even more with the way the Nets have gone about building their team (and with the results) than I disagree with NYK’s. They have similarities. The Nets have just made more blatantly stupid or blatantly desperate choices.

max fisher-cohen: Let’s be honest here. If we’re comparing the team we played last night to last year’s Sixers, it’s the same one except they’re missing three of their four best players: Iggy and Brand are both gone, and their replacements — Richardson and Bynum — were both hurt. Lou Williams was replaced by a joke of a player in Nick Young. The Heat win was impressive. In golf terms, it was a double eagle. The Sixers win was a birdie at best.

10 under is 51 wins

The Knicks are even par.

The Honorable Cock Jowles: hah, I could never make a prediction that would have the right inputs for you

Yeah, we could start with Landry Fields and Toney Douglas.

WIth Richardson out again tonight, anything less than a commanding win should be a disappointment.

I still agree with Mike though in that our offense is just not going to stay anywhere near where it is. There are a few reasons for that: first, I KNOW the 3 point shooting is going to get a lot worse, and second, it will take more than two games for me to buy that Anthony is truly a changed player in terms of effort level, and last, both of these are going to become bigger issues when Stoudemire returns.

ruru, you wrote that about a week ago. Has your opinion changed about the impact of the Stoudemire injury?

It changed based on how much different they looked from the last preseason game to first two games.

I didn’t think they’d get their so fast.

Their overall offensive efficiency will be better than I expected because of the way they’re playing.

to 56-60 wins

90% against bad teams (bottom third of league)
70% against average teams (midle third of league, you need to win 40% of road games against average teams if you sweep them at home)
50% against good teams.

You can also play the golf game like Doug Moe used to.

Every home win is a par, every home loss is a bogey. Every road win is a birdie, every road loss is a par.

The Honorable Cock Jowles: Do you remember when I correctly predicted last season’s record?

With mostly wrong inputs, making it virtually meaningless.

Thomas B.: Felton will have his turn to look great, Lin will have his to look mediocre.

Oh and Kidd’s per is 33.7 after two games! What?! Say something about that.Damn near double the PER of Lin. What you got to say about that, Homey?

PLEASE STOP REFERENCING PER PLEEEEEEASE

ruruland: the funny thing is that you need to push me further out in the projection continuum so that you can slide in (naturally, after the results are in), to pretend that you saw this coming all along.

We await your plagiarized Berri talking points….. er insightfull analysis.
