This is always a tough time for rebuilding teams: the final 20 games of the season can be an ugly mess. Post-season is near impossible and attention turns from the players to what techies might call “vaporware,” aka draft picks. To make matters worse this time around, there’s a group of fans actively rooting for their Brooklyn Nets to lose every game. That way the team’s chances at Cooper Flagg et all will skyrocket from the 9.5% currently all the way up to 14.5%!
The Nets won’t get to 14.5%. Indeed it’s unlikely they’ll get better odds than 10%, the odds for the team with the fifth worst record.
