Late Effort Ends Losing Streak(s)

whos shane ?
hahahah

Nice win by the Nets I wish we could have seen more CDR tho. Devin still looks shaken up.

Good win for the Nets tonight, we needed it.

The Grizzlies have talent, they’ll do well in 2 to 3 years.

I wasn’t able to watch the 2nd half of the game, but it looks like Carter had a good night. Harris also.

Again good win for the Nets. it’s been a while since we had a win. haha I get so frustrated when we lose, but I’m just calm when we win. haha

Good win Nets, now take care of business in OKC.

Oh and Nice to see CDR get some playing time back where he was a hero.

Thank you shane, whoever you are for representing Netsdaily! haha the Czar fan club.

You should point out that Devin had 0 Turn Overs

Good to see CDR get 7 minutes and score 6 points. Hope it means he’ll show up in the rotation more often. Go Nets!

good win and all but there was one thing that was really bothering me the wholegame: JOSH BOONE, i mean i dont mind that hes not a scorer but he cant hit a wide open 5 footjump shot or flick a ball in within 2 feet just horendous also HE IS NOT A GOOD DEFENDER! that one and one by rudy gay on him i just diont know how he let that happen, THEN there was a loose ball that he coulda dove for BUT NO he stands there and they score at an important point of the gamethats tghe least he can do is hustle thats whyi give respect to najerra nota very skilled player but hey hes the smartest player on the court goes all out divin for balls and solid defense thats why he mixes in fine

DONT FIRE FRANK; RELEASE BOONE!(orjust activare sean williams and play im over boone)

activate*

I would be interested to know the tally of assists Devin and VC could have if Boone, Anderson, and Slopez didnt miss 4 or 5 easy layups EACH per game.

Boone missed so many easy passes from Carter tonight.
Great win!

Lopez looked sluggish tonight. He may be hitting that rookie wall. He’s playing a lot of minutes and playing against Duncan last night had to be tough. Then you’re on a plane and on to the next game.

For this team to win they need help from the bench and the sf position each game. Simmons and Hayes hit their shots tonight. good sin that they really needed. Still right there for the 8th seed even though the Bucks won.

Big shots by Dooling, those back to back 3’s, even if the latter one was made a long 2, really killed Memphis.

Nets have had 11 or 12 TO’s in 2 games. That’s nice.

Forget what I said yesterday, KEEP FRANK.

But don’t forget I said: Hollah! Never forget that.

finally we got a win. please beat thunder

oh wait, changed my mind… FIRE FRANK.

still Hollah!

hold on hold on…. KEEP FRANK!

and why not hollah?!

jus get a quality starting SF…gerard wallace ….
then we don have to worry abt lebron, wade or bosh or any of the FA class of 2010…
nets hav a good pg, sg and center..
jus get gerard wallace or butler…we can make some noise in the playoffs…go nets

yogi,Gerald Wallace by far is not Quality.This team needs Vince to take 22 shots a game and run the offense.Lopez is def hitting that wall.Good players get thru it.Duncan won a championship in his! If the nets aren’t going to put the ball in V.C hands then it needs to be Brook.

I’d say Memphis needs a floor general, but i’m assuming Mayo is going to be the primary ball handler. Conley isn’t cutting it though. He’s better playing off of a good talent(Oden)

@Zartan

VC 22 shots? He’s at 17 now and that’s already the most on the team. I would agree if he went to the hoop more. I do think we need a more consistent sf. But the shot distribution is where it needs to be. VC is doing a good job at filling the voids when needed. But he doesn’t have the personality to dominate the ball. He’ll never take 22 shots per game even if he was told to. He passes a lot when it looks like he can get his shot anytime he wants it.

Not impressed. Grizzlies were in it until the end. They flat out stink. It should have been a blowout. The Knicks destroyed them.

In the Spurs loss, I’m sick of the excuses. “We were with them right to the end”, “we had our opportunities”, blah, blah, blah. Bottom line – you lost – period. The Spurs played terrible, did everything they could to give away the game and you still lost.

Frank’s teams have no heart, they try and fail and that’s good enough. Well its not good enough. These players have no respect for the coach. I have never seen Frank get in any players face. The most he’ll do is bench them only to have them return later in the game. Watch Popovich, he’s not standing there clapping like some circus seal. The players know that if they screw up, he’ll ream them out in front of a million people and they’ll be riding the bench until they prove themselves worthy.

@halwas

Shouldn’t it be the same for both teams? On one night you say “In the Spurs loss, I’m sick of the excuses. "We were with them right to the end", "we had our opportunities", blah, blah, blah. Bottom line – you lost – period.”

Against the Grizz shouldn’t it be “bottom line -they won -period”! NO excuses. Or that doesn’t work when you win only when you lose?

By the way what diffferencce does it matter what the Knicks did at home the night before? The Knicks and 16 other teams not in the playoff stink too. As a matter of fact I’d say there was only about 8 good teams in the league. The Nets have beaten a lot of the others so I guess they stink too. The Nets are a team fighting for the playoffs in a rebuilding year. They may make the playoffs or they may not. But the goal is to develop players not win a championship this year.

replying to halwas

Grown men aren’t suspose to have a coach screaming in their faces. Popovich does this because of the personality of the players. Duncan & Parker aren’t Stephen Jackson & Ron Artest. In other words Popovich is a very smart man.

I just saw the game, I was impressed with CDR and also Ryan Anderson. 12 points and 9 rebounds in 22 minutes is a good game.

Nah. I don’t buy the “develop for the future” or “rebuilding” or all the rest of the put it off until next year crap. Because next year never comes. Boston was in rebuilding mode until they got fed up with losing and made some big moves.

The future is now. By next year Carter could lose a step.

Its an attitude that just isn’t there. Basketball is all about confidence and desire – the Celtics believe that they are the best. Look at what happened when the Nets played Dallas – they blew em out, why? because they had something to prove.

The last two games are perfect examples of a team that’s going nowhere.

Funny how Popovich became a smart man when he got Duncan. Before that he was in the lottery. That’s how they got Duncan. Funny how the Cetics didn’t get that attitude until KG and Allen got there. Funny how Mike Brown became a good coach when Lebron got there. Phil Jackson? MJ and Shaq and Kobe helped him be great. Pat Riley hasn’t been great since Magic and Kareem. If the Nets really ant to be great they need a great player or 2.

Hawlas you’re expecting VC, Devin, 3 rookies, Yi and a bunch of role players to win a title this year? Just because of an attitude? I disagree. I think you need stars. Bigger stars than VC. He hasn’t shown that ability…

Opie’s Uncle,great players win games great coaches win championships.
  V.C is a willing person to do what ever the team wants and need from him.I truly beleive the Carters play is by Frank request.Vince took a big contract and needs to play up to it.free carter up to be the great offensive player he is and the chips will fall into place.If not then he needs to be traded.
 Frank is a VanGundy clone.If any of you think he’s a good coach then your fools!!This ship is sinking a doubt Frank has what it takes to keep it afloat.

Devin looked good as an actual point guard in this game. I even saw him doing the Steve Nash “dribble under the basket probe” a few times. Good stuff. …it was the Grizzlies though.

I agree with alex m… at this point I’d rather see S.Will play over Boone. man he was suckin it up. S.Will can at least get a few blocks and hit a jumper now and then. Good game overall!

Also, during the YES broadcast, at one point the audio got messed up and the announcers volume was mostly drowned out by the game audio. You could hear players yelling, the ball bouncing really loud, and faintly in the background you could hear Mike and Marv babbling, too quiet to make out what they were saying. It was heaven. The game was so much more enjoyable that way! unfortunately they fixed the audio later.
