How far will the new jersey nets go in the playoffs?

At this point, they have potential to do great things in the NBA playoffs, I felt at the beginning of the season that they would have a great chance to upset the heat as a 6th or 7th seed, and now that looks very possible.  They are playing at their apex right now, and could carry that streak into the playoffs.  They are better than every team in the east besides miami and detroit, and can play with miami.  They also took care of detroit convincingly a few games ago, and historically they have played well against the pistons.  When the pistons were a pure defensive stalwart, they stifled the nets, but now with a more offensive tone to their team, the nets have a better chance at dominating the pistons.  In fact, I think the nets match up better with the pistons than the heat.  Who knows what happens if they do reach the NBA finals, if they meet the spurs, the spurs could very well fatigued by that point, or have a hurting tim duncan.  One other point about the nets everyone should realize is that they are a very good defensive team, which always is a plus in the playoffs.  They could end up anywhere from the 2nd round to winning it all in my opinion.

I would love to see New Jersey going to the NBA finals again. They are exciting to watch because of Vince Carter's awesome slams and surprisingly long three pointers, Richard Jefferson's strong dunks, and Kidd's great assists. They also have an uptempo fast break game that makes them so fun to watch.

They're only 2.5 games out of the eight seed going into tonights games so it's possible.  I don't know if they have it though.  I'd have to say no.  They're just not that good this year.

It should be Ottawa, but New Jersey could win it too.  Defence wins championships, and I don't think Detroit is good enough to win it.  Defence is a trademark of the Eastern Conference.

I would say yes to this question for any team in the NBA, just playing the odds. But the Knicks are really screwed.  I would think over a decade they will learn that they have to go the rebuilding route like the Nuggets did.  That's really the only way to do it in the NBA. I'd say there in the playoffs around 2010, but they won't be legit contenders

I'm going to be honest, from my perspective, and say, not a chance.  The east has too many good teams this year.  The Central Division could send all five teams.  That would leave two spots for the other division leaders, and then one other spot would be left.  They just don't have the talent this year.

The Mets will be lucky to make it to the playoffs.  They always fade down the stretch.  If they advance it will be as the wild card and they will be one and done.  No World Series this year.

Man, I hope they go to the Superbowl. Yeah, I think that they will at least go to the playoffs.

New Jersey has a very good chance of advancing to the semis since they have homecourt advantage and the Pacers aren't what they used to be, but I think their luck will run out if they face the Heat in the semis.  As for Sacramento, I like to root for the underdog, but were talking about beating the San Antonio Spurs four times so I'm afraid they'll be booted out of the playoffs in four or five games (even though as a Mavs fan, it would be great if the Spurs got dethroned, but I would rather have Dallas do it than Sacramento - to earn the respect of the league.)

The mavs will probably make it far into the playoffs, but I don't think they'll win it.  Too many teams will stand in their way.  They've got to fight through Western conference playoff teams and this year (like last year), any of the the playoff berth teams will give top seeded teams a run for their money.  Even if they some how make it to the finals they still have to battle the Eastern conference champs which is a toss up between Cleveland, Miami, Detriot, and Chicago.  I really doubt they'll make it to the finals this year.

critics say the nets have too good of a trio. who cares bout rj, j kidd, and vc. the pacers got their own trio. jermaine oneal, peja, and stephen jackson. tell me which player on the nets were ever close to winning a mvp race? tell me which nets player can single handedly take over a game like JO. the pacers play a half court set, that the nets do not like. just watch for the pacers to play great defense and slow the ball down, and pound it down low to jermaine oneal. oh ya, jamaal tinsley is back. go pacers!

Pacers in 7 games.  Nets are a good team, but Carter takes way too many outside shots instead of forcing himself to the net.  The Pacers also have more recent playoff experience.  Even if they don't win, it'll go to 7 games.
