The Heir's pretty sure Brooklyn's post-season hopes are dashed with this loss in Milwaukee.  The odds are against them.  The other teams vying for a playoff spot are pulling ahead real fast, so once Brooklyn loses against Chicago tomorrow, that's the end.  And then all they can hope for is a consolatory win on Wednesday.  The Heir very often finds himself celebrating when his team wins the last three games with nothing left to play for.

So on the subject of Brooklyn and Milwaukee, the Heir feels as if Brooklyn needs to do more to unsweeten Jason The Kidd's revenge on Prokorov for firing him.  Sure Jason Kidd rebuilt Milwaukee from scratch, and while you got to credit him for that, Brooklyn will only lose face even more with each loss against a Kidd-coached team.  So any currently Kidd-coached team, whether that's Milwaukee or someone else, that's the new rivalry.  The Heir was happy to see Brooklyn defeat Portland, because they *never* defeat Portland.  So Portland, check.  Sacramento, check.  The current Kidd-coached team, unfinished business.  So it'll have to be 2015-2016 that Brooklyn needs to put Jason Kidd's sense of revenge to an end, and justify his firing so long ago at this point.
