    Nets do have the season series. I think there's a legitimate gripe here for Nets fans.

        Nope because the first tiebreaker is winning your division.

          Exactly. No way you don't win your division you should have a higher seed even if you have a better season series record against that team.

            They definitely could've caught them. They were only 3 back with 4-5 games left and the Nets would've had to win out and the Pacers drop at least 3 or 4 of their last 5. However, once the Nets lost to the Raptors on Sunday that killed any chance of getting the 3 seed because they would've been a game back at the time(This prior to the Pacers-Celtics game getting cancelled).

              By the way, pulling a Mavs is losing your most important game of the season in embarrassing fashion.
              Mavs should be careful. May be infringing on a Cowboys trademark there.

                  Technically that's not true. Look at the West. But in this case, you're right.

                    You seem to think so.

                    That's going to e a good matchup though.

                    Lopez/Noah

                    DWill attacking a thin front court.


                    Deng/JJ

                    Looking forward to it.
                    Sorry if that came off douchebag like, but you can see my confusion here? You list the Noah/Lopez matchup as one of your reasons the series will be good and then proceed to say D-Will is going to be attacking a thin front court and then ask about Noah being back like that's the reason you said that.

                    He's been back for the last two games and it was pretty much a given that he and Taj were sitting out basically until the playoffs. You're not a Bulls fan so I can't hold that against you, but the Lopez/Noah thing and then that statement and question? C'mon son.

                      Yes my bad I see where I made the mistake. I don't mean front court.

                      I meant backcourt.

                      I was typing and thinking two different things= dangerous.

                      Dwill attacking a thin backcourt.
