Nets 10-11 Pre-season- Haifa Oct 3 at THE ROCK/VC3FAN Life rant. lol

[vc3fan]

yes brook we stink GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR The losses are beginning to be annoying. At least Devin is back Saturday.

 

[airjordan jb23]

Another let down...

Devin should be back Saturday, Lee soon, so atleast that's something to look forward to. A winnable game on Saturday as well before the annual toughroadtrip.

Bright spots tonight were definitly TWill & CDR.

 

[krazy88s]

Debacled. I fell asleep at halftime thinking we'd pull it out because we we're looking good. I forgot about our 2nd halves.

The Suck Bowl happens this afternoon.


It is amazing reading all of the articles that say this Nets team is not the worst team in the league despite the record they have. (First article is long sothats why the link)

http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/shaun_powell/11/20/insider/index.html


3 reasons why the Nets aren't the NBA's worst team
They're 0-12 headed into Saturday's showdown at the 2-9 Knicks, but ...

• They have a promising young roster. The Nets are in this mess because injuries to All-Star point guard Devin Harris, starting shooting guard Courtney Lee,power forward Yi Jianlian and swingman Jarvis Hayes have left them with eight players. They wouldn't be a playoff team if healthy, but the young trio ofHarris, Lee and center Brook Lopez (17.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in 12 games) would provide hope for the future.

• They haven't surrendered. Chris Douglas-Roberts has emerged as a member of their rotation moving forward while leading the team with 17.4 points. Moreimportant is the role played by coach Lawrence Frank, who can afford to coach his players all-out. It's not like he can be concerned about the long haul ashe's a lame duck in the last year of his contract.
"If Lawrence gets fired for being 0-12, it will be a disgrace to our league because of how hard they play," a rival scout said. "Most teamswould have packed it in by now, but he's getting everything out of them that he can -- they play hard, they execute. He's having to post up TrentonHassell because that's his best option. This sounds crazy, but if you base it on someone getting the most out of his guys, I think he should be a Coach ofthe Year candidate."

• Reinforcements are on the way. The Nets have major cap space this summer, the promise of a billionaire owner from Russia and the hope of a new home inBrooklyn. Better days are ahead for sure.

Devin is back and will come off the bench today. Lee maybe back as well.


A win is needed today before they leave on their thanksgiving trip with teams like Denver, Sacramento, Portland, and the Lakers on the horizon.



LETS GO NETS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[krazy88s]

They to put together a solid game. Dont fold up like lawn chairs in the 4th. I've got faith in the team.

 

[pr0phecy718]

looking forward to today's game

if your team gets their first win on us, my oh my

 

[vc3fan]

Yeah pr0phecy, I've been reading in the Knicks post especially after the Iverson Debacle. lol


it should be fun today. I'm sure the arena will be orange and blue but it is also a saturday afternoon so the arena should be packed.

Gotta love Nets home game promotions.

Hope we get our first win before the road trip.

Devin for 6th man

And I do agree with what was said about us... Bad record or not we do have some promise.

at dora the explorer day

Go nets!

 

[Mister Meaner]

After the Iverson charade, I want the Nets to absolutely destroy the Knicks.

 

[maddog345]

Let's go Nets. I feel the first win coming today.

 

[Mister Meaner]

I just remembered why I hate watching the Nets. Why the arena look like everybody is smoking in there?

 

[airjordan jb23]

Devin wasting no time with the comeback

 

[maddog345]

The Nets savior has arrived. Any of you guys ordering Spinedok?

 

[shuges]

I love the fact that Seedy stays trying to dunk with 2 hands.

edit:

Devin with the MASH.

 

[airjordan jb23]

Devin

looks like the milw dunk from his first nets game.

Havent seen him dunk all of last year

 

[damnitzvin]

there's actually nets fans?!

 

[tony starks]

Are you bored, troll?

 

[shuges]

Wow... horrible call refs.

CLEAN BLOCK

Ugh.... and the deflection off the foot was really a deflection off of Devin's hand. SMH @ these refs.

 

[airjordan jb23]

Kick ball? Foul on brook?

 

[maddog345]

These refs are terrible. That block is about as clean as it gets.

 

[airjordan jb23]

Good run to close the 3rd... Lets put together a strong 4th now

 

[maddog345]

Very nice start to the 4th quarter. Keep it up New Jersey

 

[shuges]

Dagger by Harrington.

Nets played well enough to lose.... as usual.

Some positives though...

Devin looked comfortable out there (especially that dunk.

).

Brook remained in the post instead of drifting out towards the 3pt line.

He was also a defensive presence with 4 blocks.

Nets just needed to play better defense.

And if Rafer had given them anything (and if the refs didn't blow 2 bad calls), this might have been a different outcome.

 

[tony starks]

0-13. Yikes.

It doesn't get any easier next week.

Good to have Devin back, though.
