Wow

what a win!! Key players anderson and hassel. Now lets win some home games. we can beat utah. GO NETS MAVS R LOSING BY 13 TO NUGGETS AT HOME HAHA

Hassell should still play when Hayes comes back. Good D and a savvy player. Devin took over in the fourth.

ACTUALLY KINGCHING WE WOULD NOT BE HORRIBLE WITH RJ BECUASE HIM AND VC CAN’T SHARE

where is hassell going to play when hayes comes back? he plays well but we should play him when we need him. anderson showed me alot he was pissing me off the last couple of games. yi was just horrible i know hes sick but come on. harris was awesome in the 4th like the last game in toronto and carter was solid.

Great great win! We came back after a bad start, and we got it done thanks to Devin Harris, Ryan Anderson, and of course Vince Carter.

It was great, we got balance scoring from our frontcourt duo, and it stopped our 3 game losing streak!

Vince Carter didn’t even need to have to do everything, he did just fine!

Devin Harris was frustrating me at first, but he played very well down the stretch!

Ryan Anderson suprised me! He showed up and came to play. He was hitting his 3s, and he did very well.

Yi Jianlian and Bobby simmons, not very good games…but hey I’m just happy we won!

Brook Lopez did pretty well, had some nice blocks, and played good D.

Josh Boone is a solid backup center. He’s perfect for it, getting tip-ins, getting rebounds, if he can make his freethrows…then he’d be solid.

Keyon Dooling wasn’t much of a factor.

Hassell, hey he played alright, if he could hit his jumpers, than that’d be great, but I still want to see CDR play over him.

Well it was great that we won!We outrebounded them, played well down the stretch, but most of all where back at over .500!!!!!

Now we got to take care of home! Hope Hayes comes back soon!

R.M. thats the most ! ive ever seen in my life

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Our Rooks Killed them!
Man, what a win. Great effort on the glasses. 54-38. Especially Hassell was nasty.

DH- very very slow start but had a nice second half. 7 boards for the little guy sounds good. But he has to setup his teammates more frequently.

VC- great leadership on the floor. Have you seen the smile on his face at the 7 min mark in the 4th?! He knows we would win.

bobby- was he on the floor?

Yi- who? non factor

Brook- again a good game. I dont blame his TOs. He`s young and for his age he plays great. Good defense tonight.

Hassell- never see this coming but this guy hustles and works hard. another great game for him.

Boone- I like him. he`s limited in offense but he hustles every ball and is a pretty good rebounder. 3 steals in this game, not bad ;)

Ryan- man of the match! Hopefully that was his breakout. He struggled the last few games but tonight he was the key to success. He played also great D. keep going kid!

we won this because of passion and hustle. great quality win and BTW I HATE CALDERON SOOOO MUCH!!!

Greets from Germany
Gute Nacht

DO YOU ALL ENJOY WRITING IN CAPS?

Please stop, it’s quite annoying.

Regarding the Nets, good win, we shut down the Raptors for the first 8 minutes in the 4th quarter. That’s how you win games, by closing out a team ON DEFENSE. We let them back into it, but we pulled it out. A win is a win, I’m happy about it. Hopefully, we can keep it going on Wednesday.

Good win, I was very happy. Now lets get it going at home, starting Wed vs Utah.

oops excuse me, meant to say that Hayes should be over Hassell, but I hope Hassell still plays.

Nets need to change their starters! It is getting boring.

I 4GOT TO GIVE MY BOY HASSEL SOME PROPS..HE STEPPED IN FOR JARVIS…KEY HUSTLE PLAYS. OK GNITE PPL.

We need to start a petition….

….

VC had a double double, leads the game with 4 offensive rebounds! we shot poorly but the rebounds frustrated them and we had more shots than them…

also great D on the fourth, the raps cant get a shot! hahaha

Ryan was awesome.

You can see now Brook Lopez has become the third person who draws a lot of defensive attention in this team, regardless of how well he shoots.

He’s contesting every shot in the paint, and securing rebounds really well. Love him!

Jack Handy: You have my vote for starting Anderson over Yi. Actually, anyone would be better than Yi.

Agree kingching – RJ on this team (minus Yi and Simmons), with the contributing rookies and the improved bench, the Nets would be better. Anyone who thinks the Nets improvement this year has to do with subtracting Jefferson is totally off. Both RJ and VC are team oriented players – the biggest ballhog on the Nets is DH but its not that bad at all. That being said, RJ was an understandable salary dump for this team and pretty much by now the page must be turned. The Nets have done a good job (rookies and bench mostly) of somewhat making up for the loss of a good (not great) player in RJ. Hopefully the young guys continue to improve, because the Nets still need a better 3 and 4 and a better bench to really compete.

Don’t get carried away.
Good game and bad game ratio: Yi and Anderson are not so different.

It doesn’t matter who start, actually, kind of like the issue between Simmons and Hayes. We just need one of those two to step up every game.

one good game for Anderson don’t say much. anyways good effort overall.

yi is a rising star give him time

I would rip that petition up.

Except for Anderson and…wait for it…here it comes….HASSELL, and Devin’s fourth quarter, nobody else really played that well, and yet our defense, and the Raptors being very tired, spelled a win for us tonight. I’ll take it. The NBA season is a loooong marathon and the Raptors are in a really bad place right now. They have more talent then their record shows. We shot under 40%, Carter was 8-24. We won, because the Raptors missed 18 straight shots in the fourth quarter. Chris Bosh is going to look really good in a Knick uniform…

I am glad that the Nets were able to avenge the defeat they had on Friday. The win now puts them back up two and a half games over the Raptors. Until the closing minutes, the Raptors were actually scoreless from the floor with their only points comming from the free throw line. Of course Vince Carter still gets booed there constantly as he did since leaving them for the Nets.

We nets fans are forgetting that yi is only 20 years old and this is his second season in the nba. Yi is young and he will make mistake but he will grow and learn from them and if Frank was using him the right way Yi would be much better, keep in mind that Frank don’t even run plays for him, you can’t have him shotting jump shot every night and exspect him to score 20 points a game,Frank should run at lease two post up plays for him and you would see how much better he’ll be.

Guys, whoever is going to the Nets Jazz game, no matter how awkward it may feel—-scream your god damn heads off. I will. If you aren’t going and are on the fence about if you want to go or not, go. Scream your asses off. Chant chant chant. Go crazy. Let’s show the media who NETS fans really are. I think if the fans are absolutely crazy this game, we energize this team enough to barely blow us by Utah. LETS DO IT BOYS

We have some of the worst fans in the Nba even when we win a game they still trash the team and the players. Am a Nets fan and i love this team even when we loose because we’re young and i know 2 years from now the Nets will be a very good team.

GO NETS

One thing’s for sure. They play much better on the road. They even played well in Chicago. The meadowlands and the home crowd sux. I think they like the energy on the road with packed enthusiastic crowds. Gives them that adrenaline they need.

Nice bounce back win. I was not feeling to good at 16-2 but they bounced back nicely. They did not mail it in after they were down early. I am glad to see Ryan Anderson contribute. He had his best game. I just hope there is more consistency to follow. Hassel, for all the grief I gave him, really has been key in a couple of the recent wins. He plays defense and adds toughness on the floor. I hope they still play him when Hayes returns. I have no use for Yi as everyone knows. As I always say, he is soft, pathetic and only as good as his jumper is falling that night. Nice to see Devin take over late. I hate Calderon so much, I hate the Raptors, and I am glad we beat them again up there.

Big Big week for the Nets. Jazz, Mavs, Heat, & I believe Rockets on Monday?

Joe P. will be there for all games. Rare we ever have home games 2 nights in a row, we did last year early in the season (Orlando/Miami) and lost both. I hope for a different result this time.

These are four tough tough games. The way the Nets have been playing at home, I do not know what to expect but I hope they show up and give us a good show.

Friday will be fun. I will not be booing Kidd. He saved our franchise and it was an exciting run with him. It should be a fun game.

I really give the Nets credit tonight for not giving up and not slipping below .500. Now lets beat the Jazz, who have not been as good on the road.

Go Nets!!!!

Every user of NETS DAILY should vow to go to the game Friday and see how many people we can get to get as close to a full house as possible. Let’s scare Jason Kidd out of his mind with a crazy ass incredibly loud crowd.

RYAN ANDERSON IS THE NEST RICHARDDDDD JEFFERSON EXCEPT WAY BETTER SHOOTER AND REBOUNDER

HEY JIM IM WITH U I ALREADY GOT TICKETS. WHEN I CALLED UP TODAY THE TICKET AGENT SAID THERE IS STILL ABOUT 4,000 TICKETS LEFT. NO SELL OUT BUT WHOEVER IS GOING TO THE GAME BE REALLY LOUD LETS WIN AND SHOW J KIDD THAT WE DONT NEED HIM AND HE IS MISSING OUT

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN PLEASE WELCOME BACK JASONNNNNNNNNN KIDDDDDDDDD!! AND NOW THE STARTING LINEUP FOR YOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR NEWJERSEY NETS. AT GUARD THE BEST IN THE EAST NUMBER 34 DEVINNNNNNNNNNNN HARRISSSSSSSS1!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Forget what I said the past few days:

KEEP FRANK!!!

Brook Lopez and Ryan Anderson are gonna be beasts in a couple of years.

Sean Carter you’re funny as hell….lol

I will be at the Jazz game. As usual, I will be the only one cheering really loud!

Lets get a winning streak going!!!

Just came back from a client dinner, missed the game. Ryan: 21 and 9. Safe to say no one expected that. This team is like a deck of cards. You have no idea night to night what is going to happen

Would be dope if we had someone like posey at forward. Great defender and can knockdown open shots.

Would also be dope if our guys kept playing defense and picking up offensive rebounds like they did tonight.

@ GermanNetsFan, I hate Calderon too. Must he really scowl like he’s the man after every play?

Is it just me or is Devin’s use of the high pick-and-roll getting better every week? With his improved mid-range jumpshot and unmatched speed, if he can learn to find the seams and the proper timing within the pick-and-roll and use Boone/Lopez as the roll man, he could be Chris Paul+ ASAP.

See you all on Friday.

GET READY FOR JAZZ NETS THEY LOST TO CELTICS THEY WILL BE READY

@ Jim, Matt, TrueNetsFan

I go to every single game (except on election night – and I’m glad a I missed that!).
I thought I was the loudest person in the arena. My friend calls me “home court advantage.” It was beginning to feel like I’m the only one.
The Nets fans that bother to attend the games sit there in their hats and jerseys, just clapping when it’s going our way and shaking their heads when it isn’t.
I’m in section 105, row 10. I’m barely 5’2" and I’m a woman. I’m very loud Sometimes they look over at me from the bench and smile because I’m so enthusiastic. Others fans look over and smile sheepishly. The guy in front of me is reasonably enthusiastic, as well. But we’re certainly not enough to make the team feel that we’re behind them.
Of course, it’s always easy to move up. Late in the Knicks games, I moved into the first row off the floor and screamed so loud when Harrington was shooting FTs that he actually missed one. Everyone turned to me (esp. Knicks fans) and said it was because I was so loud. It didn’t make a difference for the Nets, but at least Harrington didn’t score his career high against the Nets: he missed it by one point.
Anyway, I’m doing my part. I’m hoarse after every game.
I can’t imagine that there are a lot of Utah fans in this part of the country so, for once, we won’t be drowned out by fans for the opposing team.
C’mon you guys. If you can’t make it Wednesday, definitely be there on Friday so we can show Kidd that we still care about the Nets – and we can show Devin some love.

@rayray

I applaud you for being loud and actually cheering at The IZOD center. You deserve some recognition!

Anyways, every time I watch games at home, I see this one old man in red, always dancing around whenever someone does a freethrow, trying to disturb the player.

I see him all the time and he looks like a major Nets fan.

@ R.M.

We call him “the whammy guy.” Watch his hands. You have to be behind the basket to do what he does.
I’m usually the first voice you hear yelling “defense.”
I’ve tried to get people to chant “De-vin Har-ris” when he’s at the FT line, as he so often is. But that hasn’t worked since the first game he played as a Net. I would love to get that going when Kidd is there on Friday.

I’d cheer with ya, but I can’t make any of these games this week unfortunately, practice. ugh

but I do remember in Harris’s first game against the Bucks, it was like a perfect welcoming game and everyone was screaming “De-vin Harris”! And I was one of them.

Hope we can get that going on Friday!

why is it that devin harris played horrible on the road last year and great at home and this year hes amazing on the road and not as good at home? also vince? it cant be the home crowd because its the same as last year if not better. we beat the jazz last year at home 2

Great game. Anderson was awesome. But Devin is the reason we won. He took over and carried us and got to the foul line and made amazing shots and looked like Wade. ANd, yes, smart coaching by Frank.

Chris Paul ofcourse you think Devin is the reason we won. I think differently. Anderson and Carter set the tone early. Even though Carter missed a few shots , he still was efficient. He led our team in rebounding, assists and 1 point away from leading in scoring. Devin played like crap early on but finally he start attacking. Anderson hit some bigtime three’s for us and he was the real reason besides our talented captain and Harris.

I cringe to see the team come back home to the Morgue Center. I bet Carter and Harris are having nightmares.

Held them to 87 pts. DEFENSE!! Why? Yi and Simmons played 30 min total. VC and DH shot 13 for 38 but it didn’t matter. Hassell is lookin pretty good on D. Although Anderson looked good, he is not the answer at the 4 but you can see when we get good play at that position we play well. It might not always look pretty but when we play d we will win.

Ok first off, I’m not saying we give up on Yi (I realize that’s not a possibility considering we traded former fan favorite RJ for him, Kiki loves him and he brings us tons of revenue and international support) but I think we need to do what’s best for the team to win and develop.

Let Yi earn his minutes as opposed to just handing him the starting position like he was on day 1 here, and like he supposedly demanded in Milwuakee.

Perhpas ifhe has to earn his starting spot back we will see some more develpment and I hate to say it but “desire” Right now, what good is it if we put him out there only to get benched because he’s not making his shots or playing matador defense.

And please don’t give me the he’s only 20 and in his 2nd year in the league. First off he’s probably really 24, and he’s been playing professional/competitve ball for many years now.

Meanwhile Ryan Anderson is legitimately 20 years old and a rookie. Already Ryan is the better shooter, rebounder and defender. The only advnatge I see Yi having over Ryan is his size (which gets him more blocks) and athleticism.

If we have a better player who is probably younger (at worst the same age) in his rookie year, then IMO Anderson is the one with more potential.

He and Brook have great off-court chemistry and I think they need to build more on-court chemistry.

Anderson should play the 3. He can shoot as well as Simmons – but does everything else better.

Yi needs to work with a defensive coach on his footwork. He constantly finds himself behind who he’s guarding (same problem Williams has). He needs to stay in front by moving his feet. And he needs to let the man shoot the ball without fouling him. He should watch films of Bruce Bowen.

The Nets are close to having something here. They are one player away – and I think its Anderson. Lopez is a legit center – the Raptors had no answer for him.

Frank is one lucky guy.

starting five should be VC, Harris, Lopez, Hassell and Anderson! now send this to coach Frank! lol :)

@Monica
You read my mind.

@halwas
Anderson either has to slim down and become quicker on his feet to play the 3 or he needs to bulk up to play the 4, right now he’s a true tweener.

hey guys Anderson nor Yi are ready for that position.

Anderson is a nice player coming off the bench. I know he played well, but that doesn’t earn him a starting spot. He’s way too young.
