WHAT A GAME!!! WOW!! great job!! GO NETS!!!!!

PLAY YI MORE MINUTES!!!

T-dot? Served!!! VC done it again. And he’ll do it again and again and again. So all ya’ll bitter T-Dot fans better get used to it…

i cant catch my breath… this is definitely a classic!!!

this was The Carter show….nuff said

Hell of a game, I was just happy with the comeback. Didn’t think we were going to win….Haha. Btw, Someone should knock Calderon on his ass.

WOW GREAAT WIN I THOUGHT FOR SURE THEY WOULD LOSE DOWN BY 18 AND THEN VC WITH 2 CLUTCH PLAY CANT GET ANY BETTER. NOW THEY JUST HAVE TO PLAY THE SAME WAY TMRW. DO U GUYS THINK THE TRADED PLAYERS WILL PLAY

AMAZING VC.. Are you sure about the knee thingy mr. Magic Johnson?

Devin Harris is looking like the best Point Guard in the NBA right now!

Great win with a special taste. GO NJ!

What a freakin’ game! This team is everything we could have hoped for. VC shuts up TO and as for Devin, a star is born. Awesome!

Vince gave that Prince (dave chappell) look after the aley oop “Game, Blouses…” lol

Did y’all see my son and myfave player? He was unbelievable awesome. Vince that is!!!!

What a GAME!!! Win or lose that was an absolute BLAST! The win just made it that much sweeter!

This is precisely why the Nets need to keep VC…and why the Devin Harris trade was genius…

Forget what I said.

KEEP FRANK!!!!!!

i never yelled so much in a game that we actually win this was the best game ever perfect ending you cant get better then that

Man this was a great game, and VC was the MAN tonight. Honestly out of all the games I hope VC has his bests against Toronto.

Helluva game.
All you VC haters can quiet down now, clearly still as clutch as ever, and our most clutch player.
Wow – what a game.
A W tomorrow night and we’re 6-6 heading out west…(if Devin plays against Indiana and Miami maybe we’re 8-4)…
Lets Go Nets!!!!

damn.. what a sick game. some nice D i might add w/ all the steals toward the end

This is the best Nets game since that Phoenix game. Honestly, the last few minutes of the fourth till the end was the best minutes of bball I have seen in a while. DH and VC single handedly won this game, where VC dominated in the first half and later in the game as well, while DH dominated in the fourth quarter where he basically scored on his own will. Again, Yi and Simmons were no shows and it is starting to get frustrating, despite the fact that it is Yi’s second year only. Brook had a great game despite limited touches. The bench played well today, and give props to Swat and Hayes who had outstanding games off the bench. And last but not least, let’s not forget to give Frank his props. He made some nice plays down the stretch, and make other good moves involving who to play. Instead of playing Najera, Hassel, or Ager Frank trusted Anderson and Swat. Once again, great game for the Nets.

WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWw

here is a game in which you see the qualities of l.frank!he is bad setting up a team and training youngsters but he is incredible in last minute plays!!i am stunned!

Ok guys, let’s give his due to Frank for drawing up that last set. Man hope they play like that all the time.

Vintage Carter.

do not trade for gerald wallace i think were starting to get great chemistry. but we need to win tmrw need to

vc da best

HOLY F’N ****!!!!

i think we can all agree that after calderon got that easy layup last year’s team would have called it a game. NOT THIS TEAM! we fought to the very very last second and we got a win. WOWOWOW holy crap.

VINSANITY rocked his old house. what a clutch game for him.

the BLURR was amazing and showed us his ability to take over a game and he was the best player on the floor for a good amount of time in the 2nd half. he set us up and vince finished them off.

i also gotta say Calderon can **** OFF. twice he acted like his shot was the dagger, yet he doesnt play D and now he can go cry in the locker room. im tired of his act of celebrating after every single basket. you love him if hes on your team, but hes not on our team and i love to see him lose and be pissed off.

SWAT played very very very well. you can see sean is growing up, his game is growing up. still has a lot more to grow, but he played great.

everyone played great. i dont need to go through each guy like i always do because to win a battle like this you need every single player to give you extremely quality minutes. vince and devin were the two headed monster, but hayes to brook to sean all contributed.

THE CANADIAN CLASSIC! nice to be on the W end of this one unlike the suns game. i wish i could stay home and watch encore tomorrow morning.

cant wait for tomorrows game. crowd should be into it

amazing…just plan amazing..my heart almost popped out

I was watching the Toronto broadcasters say that Calderon gave a signal with his hands, with 2 minutes left in regulation that the game was over. I then said to myself, “Carter will carry this team to Victory”. I must be a prophet.(patting my ownself on da’ back)

Great Game!!!WOW…. Unreal… VC, Devin… super clutch! Last year that team would have quit when they got down by 18…..And Frank did a good job with the subsitutions and the last play of regulation AND overtime..Great win!!!

Half-man, half-amazing!!!

I don’t know if that’s ever been done before … a game- tieing 3 in regulation and a game-winning dunk in overtime … both last second shots by the same guy.

Unfreakinbelievable!!!

This was right up there with carter’s game-winning 3-pointer in toronto a few years ago, when kidd jumped on carter’s head in celebration after the shot. But that crowd was far louder and far more anti-vince than tonight’s crowd was.

Half-man, half-amazing!!!

Last set play was sick!!!

props to Frank and Carter!!!

Amazing game. Although people are saying don’t trade, this just goes to show that if VC and DH are not playing out of their minds, we won’t win. We need a consistent 3rd option. We only won by 2 in OT while VC and DH were ridiculous.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!

This is what we’ve been waiting for all summer…a new chapter in Nets basketball, just like it was when we first got Kidd. VC..DH..Hayes..all renewed basketball players this season. Rookies are looking good in high pressure situations. The only thing that can make this better is Ogzy crying about VC (and realizing that O’Neal is going to be injured 10x more often!!)

If Harris continuous to play like this he will get his All-Star and Superstar status by December!
With G-Wallace we definitely will be in the playoffs, he has everything that we most need, a decent SF, an average scorer, rebounder, stealer and most important, one of the best defenders in NBA. That would be amazing, but probably won’t happen, because we are rebuilding and we can’t give up the young guys so early, I only would part with Boone…

VINCE CARTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

First, great win. Wonder if that Vince has shown up against Cleveland, maybe we’d be 6-5 right now. Carter was clutch, and Harris down the stretch was awesome.

Second… please tell me the “Yi more minutes” comment was a joke. Anyone else notice his absence (or, the absence of his bricks) down the stretch? He wastes possessions, and he’s not ready to be a starter.

Third, let’s do it again tomorrow night.

just INSANE.. air canada does it again !!! what a classic.

ya, we need a 3rd option… its not simmons… its not yi… its gonna be LOPEZ

lol Love the happiness tonight from you guys. But what are you gonna do if the Nets throw up a stinker tomorrow?

Raptors/Nets opinions at Weakside Rejection

have to give some credit to Frank!

he’s one who designed last set play!

yet he’s humble enough to give all the credit to his players.

I was screaming like I won the lottery

UNREAL !!!!!!!!!
AWESOME GAME :)))

All I can say is WOW!!! To come back from 18 down to win it was awesome. Where are all the VC haters? VC was great tonight. Everyone was. Go Nets!

excellent coaching. frank was awesome

yes, Yi isn’t ready ti start, he has some dribble and quickness, but he’s afraid to attack the basket, he needs to be more agressive….But he can shot, but Frank insists in not putting him at SF, where he can get some more wide opens and hit his 3p! He keeps playing Bobby, and Bobby keeps missing wide open shots…

HOLY CR@P!! That was by far the best NETS game i’ve ever watched.

I think Carter has way more fans here then distractors. How can anyone hate on this guy unless you are a Toronto fan. He has been consistent all season long. When he’s not scoring, he’s setting up other guys(assists) and getting rebounds.

i made it in the trade machine and Boone and Simmons for G-Wallace works!

GREAT WIN! WOW!! We should chant VC SUCKS every game! LOL Take that Toronto fans! Tonight just showed us how Vince can take over a game like Lebron, Kobe and Wade does every night. He is special! Vince has to always play with that passion and determination. Awesome game for Harris as well. He could not be stopped. Great defensive effort all around, felt like the good ol’ days. I LOVE THIS ROTATION. Great chemistry. It felt like this was a playoff game. I couldn’t sit still. Yi was invisible, but, Simmons played some good defense tonight and made that awesome touchdown pass at the end of the game! Lawrence Frank had a very solid game with his substitutions and play calling. Sean Williams was very solid as well. If he can play like that every game there is no way we trade him.

Again starting lineup:

Harris
Carter
HAYES
Ryan Anderson
Brook

YES! YES! YES! I’m probably gonna get evicted for screaming so loud, but YES! Way to BRING IT VC!! To hell with your old team!!!

Boone simmons hassel Krstic rights for G.Wallace and let’s win this CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!

It seems like I was in control of the game. When Calderon said it was over- I was like Vince take over. AND BOY DID he take over. THen when nets were going to cruise in OT- im like man i want raptors to be clutch so that vince can get the game winner. AND thats what happpened. WHAT A GAME WHAT A GAME.

What a game . The play was good. but I can’t help notice the commotion before that last three point of Parker. Why was Hassell fielded. I saw Frank tried to change it by putting Sean williams for defense instead of Hassel, but was not allowed, which is true.
That could have sealed the game there and Parker would not have gotten that pass. Well anyway it got more exciting.
Carter and Harris our heroes. Jarvis and Brooks played well again.
Yi sucks, but I am not giving up on him, he realy need to prove he can be consistent with his shooting. Simmons sucks but what a perfect pass, and twice he did it.
Sean Williams good Defense, fortunate for us Jermaine got hurt.
As I said we need at least 110 points in order to compete.

I guess I missed a good won huh! It’s time’s like this I wish I had league pss, but it wouldn’t be worth it because I don’t have much free time at night to watch games. Someone mind going through a game analysis for me?

I know the game had to be bomb if BROOKLYN BOB gave a shout to to VC, LOL!!!
Xcalibur, RM, Zarton, c’mon with the recap!

one of the best comeback wins I have ever seen! Did anyone notice how Frank have the team a chance to win? As Anthony Carter lined up his first free throw near the end of regulation, Frank was screaming out insructions, Nets players on the box were turning to listen as AC shot and I believe the distraction caused the miss! Keep Frank

OMG. I was playing monopoly while this game was on. At the end of the fourth quarter when Carter made that three i almost died. I won the monopoly game right at the last 4.6 secs of OT. Then I watched Carter make that awesome play. This was awesome. DH, SWAT, Carter, and Hayes are my favorite players and this game reinforced my choices.

Do you think DH just had to take a crap?

This is exciting….dare we say…the rookies are contributing like the rookies did the year we went to the………well lets see how the rest of the season goes!

im so excited..infact im hyper…god guys vince is too good…charley rosen u lousy looser…watch VC before u start off wit ur stupid reviews….
VC for MVP……

In face, yesdter, I had already been thinking that VC will do it again like 3 years ago, and the last play for Vince, I was praying for that, and he really achieved that play.

God disguised himself as Vince.

Captain Carter was vintage tonite for sho’. I started to give up on the team in the 3rd but thankfully I stayed and watch the entire game. This has to be the best game I’ve seen as a Nets fan.

Captain Carter and Harris have to be the best duo in this league. If only we had a Big thud in the middle. Yes we have a heap of potential but we need someone to match this duo intensity and HEART.

Hate giving credit to Frank but this was his game. The last call was all Frank and VC….beautiful game..

CHAMPIONSHIP!

I’m still shaking that was so freakin unbelievable!!! VINCE, HOW? You sure shut up that jabbermouth Jose Calderon. The boo’s against Vince made this win so much sweeter.

This game was right up there with that Indiana playoff thriller in the first round of the playoffs in 2001-2002 season.

swat great energy off the bench….good goin

Let’s not forget
SWill presence was felt. also some of Lopez, Hayes,(shots) Simmons huge assist/pass to Captain Carter for the game winner.

missed the game … any place to watch the full game replay online ?

I want to watch the game again! Bring on the encore YES.

I don’t think anybody can disagree but at this point you have to put Jarvis Hayes on the list for 6th man of the year thus far.

at midnight……replay of the game

are u guys consistantly voting for DH and VC?

hahaha… BWoosley. i think you’re probably right. devin probably had to drop a big deuce.

League gives no respect to Nets players.
If you want VC and Devin to be in the all-star game, you probably want this team to be over .500 soon.

A top 3 VC Classic.One of the best games ever and clearly the best game of the season in the NBA.

VC’s shots were just awesome and unbelievable but the best thing was just watching Toronto fans leaving with their heads down and VC running through the tunnel(CLASSIC).He was pumped up and was giving fists and elbows to the tunnel walls..

OOOOhhh I lied the best thing was watching Jose Calderon fail,he really thinks he is a superstar.This arrogant bas**** sure as hell annoys me and I wish Raptors put him on the bench or trade him to the local jail where he will be loved for who he is.God I hate this guy.

After this game VC is averaging something like 24 4 5 and he must clearly be in the Top10 MVP candidates.

Did you See VC??? ( i’m assuming you did, but yeh) PERFECT. great game, great arena, and hopefully will help V get some votes for the all star game. hopefully number 1 on sportscenter, if anyone knows, please post

WOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Proud to be a VC fan!

How many points did VC score in the last minute? That was unbelievable.

he is still one of the best to play the game……….period

12 points in the last :44. Just edited the recap to point that out.

that was a SICKKK GAMEE

that was a v c 33333333333333333333333!

A big big win, for an early season game. VC really answered the booing Canadian fans!!! AND HARRIS did the job again. The Raptors are a pretty good team and Chris Bosh is a real star, AND we were down by 15 and came all the way back, and VC and Devin were really clutch. Good Game!

Awesome game. Easily the best game so far this year in the NBA. Vince was out of his mind at the end, Devin came out of nowhere in the 4th and really sparked the team. Wow is harris playing well right now and VC was amazing tonight.

Gotta give a TON of credit to Jarvis Hayes though. He is easily becoming my 3rd favorite player on this team. He not only had that clutch 3 to keep us in the game in overtime, but his defense was fantastic down the stretch. A couple of clutch steals. I give him a pass for that Anthony Parker 3 that was just a sick shot. Hayes is awesome, Harris is out of this world, and VC is the man. I am so pumped up after this win.

http://raptorsforum.com/

read the pre-game write up

If they trade VC for Wally Zerbisuck… I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!!

OH HECK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was one of the biggest games that I’ve ever seen in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DID YOU SEEE V.C??????????????

Vince Carter was awesome throughout the whole game, he showed his raptor fans that it’s still his house! Clutch Carter has done it again. OMG.
Devin Harris also came to life in the 4th, and all the Nets did pretty alright, except for Yi again.

Let us all give credti to Bobby Simmons.
If not for his awesome alley oop to Vince Carter, it could havegone to double overtime. THank YOU BOBBY SIMMONS!!!!!!!!

What a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A GAME!!!!

Calderon was all it’s over, but Vince silenced the Raptors once again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOOOHOO!!! I AM PROUD TO BE A VINCE CARTER FAN AND NEW JERSEY NETS FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CARTER FOR MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i’m watchin the nets encore gotta see this game again ! but it wont be the same lol

@ weakside

Did I not predict that this would happen???

WHOOHOOO!!!!!!!!

read this…still laughing… http://www.raptorsforum.com/f/showthread.php?t=4464

The greatest nets comeback ever that i’ve ever seen. this was just dazzling. Vince and Devin put on a show. Hayes stepped up and knocked down a key three pointer. I’m not a big fan of lawrence frank but he drew up some nice plays at the end.

*Bobby Simmons is garbage!

@VC3

it’s sweet to read that article right now…

I like what we did tonight, they thought we are underdog, and we just killed them and slapped on their face.

haha…

@papfankon

lol, and all these guys are actually complimenting FRANK. Wow and they want to fire there own coach. wow Karma. lol

this goes to show that boasting leads to one of the greatest games of Vince Carter’s career.

…………………….Good job Frank!

lol…did you see jose’s reaction after that game-winning dunk?!..

hey, where could I watch the replay of the game?..plss help me..I just missed half of my life!!..

@VC3
This is what i tried to comment on RaptorForum.com

“It’s just so sweet to read this article now after watching the sucking Nets beat great Toronto in the overtime.

Sure, Vince sucks, because he didn’t score 81 points tonight. And he really got scared by the scary story book… LOL

There is no other guy that Raptor can’t shut down.
WOW, Devin Harris is just a street baller, he only scored 30 points… wow.. amazing… Raptors really shut him down tonight.

Geez, Underdogs never die."

i just feel bad that

sean williams hurt j.o.’s left knee…

that looks hurt awkwardly…

Vince Carter scored twelve points in the last minute of the game. How sick was that?

we dont need najera, hassell or ager anymore…..wow…

Yogi, I think we need them as cheerleaders. They were great today on the bench.

do you guys know a site where i can download and watch this game??

i can’t stomach L frank but tonight i got to give him credit his subs were right on,his end of reg play to get vince a sec to set and hit that 3,and that alley op to win it if u slow mo it its a brilliant play.jose left vince to go cover dooling and bobby made a real nice pass.i can’t wait to tomorrows game lets get behind these and guys and get some engery in the swamp

greatttt game by the nets. obviously vc was oiut of this world. you clould tell he was playing hard from the get go, probably trying to atoone the stinker he let out agasint the cavs. but the guy was just onstoppable. obviously this is an instant classic. i mean that game was won by both sides at times. the raps had thos game won by halfway through the 3rd quarter, with 2 minutes left and less than 30 sec left in the game. the nets had the game sealed with about 12 sec left oin overtime only to see the raps tie the game. wiht about over a minute left in regulation i had a feeling that this game had the dramatics of the game vc hit the game winner a couple of yrs ago, and what do you know???

harris is playing like the best popg in the league, of course besides paul cause he’s just unmatchable, since the detroit game. i mean im sure they would of at least won 2 out of 3 of the games he missed if he was playing. the guy is just invisible on the court. and he can pass the ball as well. the kid is growing ointo a legoit allstar. what robbery thorn pulled agasint that idiot cuban. i mean its not even comparable, harris is tons better than kidd right now. i would give harris for kidd and 3 draft picks. plus they got anderson, who will be a very nice player. he actually kind of reminds me of bargnai, but a little shorter, and more aggressive on the boards. this kid is gonna be real good. i see him as a mix of troy murphy and david lee, but with more perimter slkills, and can put the ball on the floor much better. and that 2010 pick will for sure be lottery. and add to that dooling, and tons opof cap space for now and later. and add to that harris is locked for the next 5 yrs for about 8.5 mill avareage salary. must be the best salary in the nba.

also i have to give mad props to brook. the guy flat out outplayed oneil. and he is getting much more comfortable game by game. i do agree he has the potential to be a top 5 center. he has all the tools and skill set to be one. and he can defend, rebounfd and block shots at a very high rate. and he gives the nets a much more potent starting 5, and ives them another scoringoption down there, and also gives them a legit center with a defensive prescence that protects the rim, something boone cant do as a starting center at the least. he has to stay as the starter, and some of his teammates are actually saying it. dooling sais he needs more PT and more touches.

some of you are probably to blind to give sean williams mad props for this game. he really gives the nets an amazing defensive prescence down low. he made bosh turn into a jump shooter. he really has a way to clog the paint. he gets into the oppisning player’s minds big time. its no coincidence that since lopez has started instead of boone, and that sean and anderson are playing instead of nejara and boone, which almost 90% of the fans have been calling out for, they have won 3 ourt of 4, and two on the road agasint very good teams. this was a blessing in disguise for the nets and in particular frank that injuries to boone and jnejara occured. hopfully he realizes it and stcks with these guys even when boone and nejara returns. its not like both of them are proven players in the league., they should be able to work for their minutes as anybody else on this team not named vc and harris. and so far the results without them are very good. and i like the chemistry with sean and anderson. weve seen sean make some nioce cutting passes to anderson for baskets. i mean its all about playing your ore talented players. and only with PT will they get better and understand positiong, defense, and schemes. and there is no denying that sean and anderson are both more talented than boone and nejara who are both almost the same players, who have no skill and hardly any talent. i hope fran realizes it and sticks with those two kids off the bench and brook as the starter. he cant kill that momentum and chemstry going on.

even though simmons made that perfect pass to vc for the game winner, he has given nothing to the nets, nothing. he’s not even making his wide open shots. vc could of easily had over 15 assist with his pts if simmons and others hit their shotys. but simmons just doesnt know what to do with the ball. he is a stiff. he cant move fluidly, and is slow and lethargic. i think the only way to get him to play better is to limit his minutes considerably. even if he starts, limit his minutes big time. so when cdr comes back, give more than half of his minutes to cdr and dsome to hayes. hayes has vbeen amazing for these nets. he scoring, defending, rebounding, and making good decision with the ball. simmons made that stupid foul with about 50 sec left down 5. he just doesnt get the game. and he cant score. he hasnt hit double digits in scoring all year. his high is 8, tonight, and it took ovetime to get it too. the guy officially sucks.

yi needs more PT and more touches in the post. he might not be able to back his opponent down very well, but all he needs to do is just shoot over him from 15 feet, and guarantueed he score 9 out of 10 times. it will get his confidence going, and the nets need him now, and they need to develop him, cause he has all the tools, skills and talent to be a star. he is the best rebounder on the team. he rebounds in traffic, and is a smart player. he needs more touches. this kid is good, actually he’s pretty good. frank needs to find a way to involve him mroe and early. he can play. i would like to see more touches on the block for brook and yi. they can score, and crate havoc down low, and it will help their development. Yi will be a star. but he’s still very young, also the language and cultural barrier has a big deal to do with it. we all saw how well bargnani played today, i bleieve yi has a bigger upsde than bargnani. everyhting bargnani can do eoffensively yi can do, wioth more agility and athleticism, and he is by far a better defender, shot blocker and rebounder. i mean i would of liked to see hiom on bargnani more. and it doesnt make sense to have simmons at the 4, especially with yi being so agile and mobile, and he is a better 3 pt shooter, so he can spread the floor as well, and he is a much better option offensively. the fans need to give yi some time. he is averaging close to 10 pts and 7.5 rebs in less than 25 min per, thats not that bad, and theres been a few clunkers in some of them. i like what i see, and can see the amazing potential in his game. the nets are actually betetr like this without rj. rj would of only took the ball away from vc and harris hands more. with rj the ball stops wioth him, and he demands shots, oplus he doesnt spread the floor that well. and yi’s upside is much higfher than rj’s. he’s alrwady more skilled and talented, he just needs more time and experience and PT. i exppect to see him have a good game soon. he is very prideful and capable.

also ever since the injuries to boone and nejara frank has done a commendable job. hopefuully he can keep his team consistent and not get too low or too high. he sounded soo giddy in his post game interview. i just hope they dont blow out a big fat fart agasint the clippers who are soo hungry for a win and will come in determined. the same level of intensity and energy is required in the next game. thats been frank’s knock, his teams arnt too consistent game to game, and the other knock is his preference to play unskilled and less talented players ahead of his studs. hopfelly he gets his team in the right doiirection. thers alot to buil;d on here. they won, and some of their prized young guys could have much better games like anderson adn yi. brook can also play better, as can sean, but defensively sean is an anchor on defense, and the nets play their best defense when he’s on.

way to go nets. great win, and hopfelly they can carry this on to tomrow against the clips, its mandatory and neccessary for them. if they do, then theyre way ahead of the curve, but that can happen when you have vc and dh, the most explloive backcourt in the nba. harris compliments vc more than kidd did. its obvious. kiid left all the scoring load oin vc, but harris is carying th load with him. all i can say what a great deal for harris and what a great win tonight. the harris trade wiull go down as one of the top 5 trades in nba history. thron has two of those in the top 5, the other is for harris backourt mate, vc.

@mina
very nice post…

This season will show L Frank as a fantastic coach: what a last second call to win the game! What manipulation of the roster. I am so glad Yi was glued to his seat for most of the end of the game. Frank has been consistently closing with Hayes. And he uses Simmons so well, given Simmons inconsitencies. But best of all is the way he knows how to run Harris and then VC. Wow. It was masterful. How could Toronto set up a D when L Frank is switching it up so much? Devin is not quite making me forget Kidd, but boy he may be special too. If this coach had a PF, he’d be dangerous! Is Curly coming back!

Awesome game, Carter and Harris showed tonight when they are on the attack this team is tough to stop. Harris played like an animal, and that was the Vince Carter we all love. Kudos to both on playing one hell of a game.

Why was Bobby Simmons in the game in the 4th and OT?

Sean Williams IMO played his best game of his career. Just solid defense and tough play all around, and that turn around jumper he hit was too sweet.

Yi needs to come off the bench. The dude is mentally not prepared to do anything other than fill minutes while ryan anderson rests.

One of the best Nets games I can remember. Up there with the 2OT Phx game, the Reggie Miller playoff final, Game 5 against Pistons, RJ in the final against Bosh. So happy for VC – this is the first game in TOR that I have seen where he played at his highest. Also first time we beat a good team at full strength on the road this year. Frank, a great coaching game and props to everyone who didn’t give up down 18 on the road. This team is playing so much better than I had expected (although Simmons and Yi still aren’t).

Excellent game. Now we need to strap them up and take one tonight before we hit the road. As I have said LFrank showed why he can be the game changer for us. VC and DH are essential but finding that 3 and even a 4th option on any given night is going to be the difference for us all season. Also developing the young boys over the first half so they can get confidence in what they bring and deliver every night. Great game, lots of fun too. When VC wants to play, for get about it!

VC, and Harris comes to play everygame. WE shouldn’t expect one or two players to carry the game everynight.

VC assists should be in double digits because he caan pass to the open man probably better than any point guard. Now if only the rest of the players scores.

@ mina

Great summary. But I must say that Simmons has had some overlooked huge plays. A basket here and there and that awesome game winning lob to my main man VC.

Harris is a better complimentary player to VC because he eases the scoring load off VC.(24.1 scoring average for VC) Now we have an explosive attacking young fella(Harris)(23.8 scoring) that can score with the best. Last night win was a character builder for this team. It also sealed that VC has taken his game to another level.

I know that the frank lovers are gonna hate me for saying this, but that last play … the game-winning dunk by carter … was not a prepared play by frank.

Simmons was asked directly about that in the post-game interview. He said that the nets NEVER OR ALMOST NEVER practice that play. He said that it was a READ & REACT PLAY. He said that the raptors simply blew a defensive assignment, leaving vince wide-open for the ally-oop dunk.

I watched the replay about 10 times. The raptors simply missed their defensive coverages and carter-simmons took full advantage.

I’ll give frank credit for assigning simmons to inbound the ball, because simmons is good at that and he made a perfect pass to vince. But anyone who gives frank credit for the raptors falling asleep on defense is nothing but a delusional koolaid drinking frank lover.

You think? I don’t know where the Raptor bigs were….But oh well. Not our problem

VInce had to have listened to this song before the game…god lets keep it together and string a few wins on this trip…it will make life much easier for us…and maybe just maybe we will get into the playoffs
go nets

(Hey Mr. Carter)

(Hey Mr. Carter)
Hey, Hello!

So all the Frank haters can stop now right? LOL

It’s pretty funny how the Frank haters want this team to succeed, but they want him out. If this team succeeds, it would be Frank who gets the credit.

Anyway, everyone keeps crediting Carter for the win. It was Simmons that gave him the ball. That same Simmons that everyone hates. What if Simmons didn’t see Carter? Wonder what kind of posts there will be.

Anyway great game. I hope Carter keeps it up because Harris is becoming more and more consistent.

@ kevin

I agree with you about simmons’ inbound pass … executing that pass was much harder than executing the game-winning dunk.

But i have to give carter a ton of credit, none the less, for reading the defense, reacting and finishing the dunk.

…..

Regarding frank “getting the credit” if we win … did byron scott “get the credit” when the nets went from the bottom of the league to the top of the league during his tenure?

If rod thorn can fire 2 hall of fame coaches like byron scott and jerry sloan, then he’s certainly capable of firing larry ‘i never played the game’ frank.

…..

BTW, i answered your question yesterday about “max contracts” in the ian thomsen thread about the relocation of the nets. Did you read it?

Man – what a great game. After a game like that, the young guys on the Nets could start believing in themselves. And basketball is all about confidence.

Carter, Harris were great. Lopez, Anderson and Hayes were good. Yi contributed but Simmons did virtually nothing.

I think Frank needs to take a long hard look at Simmons. I think Anderson brings a lot more to the table.

time to trade yi! Dude is pathetic. He can move into Chinatown and stay he ass there. Lopez is good and I think we going have a low post player other than VC now.
