Prepare yourselves for a blowout.

Yeah seriously! So if we win this game, when can we start the whole 8th seed cheer? I am starting to get excited y'all! Haha I'm actually watching good basketball when I watch this team lately!

**sfgiants5518** · 01-05-2013, 03:15 AM

Nets just played a double OT game with the Wiz so both of these teams will be tired. Expect crappy basketball tomorrow.

Nets will be tired. We're younger and we'll have confidence coming into this game after playing so well against Toronto. I see Confidence translating into energy.

4th game in 5 nights tho.

**cvietti23** · 01-05-2013, 03:44 AM

^ that's a very good point, but remember, jimmer barely played so he should be fresh (although he looked like crap when they extend on him), t rob should get more minutes, we were able to rest our starters for the second half of the 4th, and we are very young. We also didnt play Hayes much and outlaw is playing his ex team so he might get minutes. I think we have the edge on this one. I also believe the nets will over look us because we are 13-20

True, but we've been going strong. There hasn't been a sign of much fatigue. I don't see us slowing down.

Cousins and Lopez will be a good match up to watch all game. Cousins has to play smart tomorrow and not pick up dumb fouls.

This is a game where the Kings small lineups might hurt them. I don't want to see two PG's on the floor, especially with the Nets length in their backcourt!

For the first time in a lonnnng time, I think i' ll actually be genuinely interested in this game! were only 4 games back from the 8th seed and just 2 games back from the Lakers! It's seems like Cousins is just ready to ball and put all the drama behind him finally and it seems like the team can sense that were in reach for a playoff spot if we just keep it up! Like I said, I'm finally excited about a game because were actually playing for something now! Just a couple more wins in a row and were definitely in the runnings. If we can just win tomorrow and come back home with the momentum? It could do wonders for us going forward.

**Plague** · 01-05-2013, 06:44 AM

In the next 4 games we have 3 tough games and I will be glad if we go 2+ in that span, but after that we have 4 non playoff teams in a 5 game span.

**GoferKing_** · 01-05-2013, 11:04 AM

Another game another W. Let's do it!! ;]

**imbetterthanyou** · 01-05-2013, 12:12 PM

I didnt get to see last nights game cause i was out getting completely intoxicated...but I saw the stat line and Boogie reeled me back in. This is like an abusive relationship where your gf makes you hate her and then does a couple nice things to make you love her again. I cant take it.

**Kyle N.** · 01-05-2013, 02:02 PM

Do I think we will make the playoffs? No. Is it statistically possible? Of course! Wooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(now watch the Kings get blown out because I jinxed us)

**cvietti23** · 01-05-2013, 02:04 PM

^ haha I know! I wanted to strangle boogie a week ago! Now I wanna send a letter to 31 NBA teams and say, back off *****es haha
